Introduction
An important aspect of keeping your audience engaged and hooked is a well organized content layout. It will give your audience some guidance on how to navigate through your digital creations and they can use it to easily find the content they want to see, hear or read.
Are you on our Free tier plan and would like a beautifully curated content lay out, reach out to us via the chat 💬 to talk about your options to upgrade.
Before being able to curate your content, we recommend that you complete a few other actions to make this a smooth and efficient process:
Created your products - There is no need to fully flesh out your product strategy, but we highly recommend to have the initial basic structure already setup. This can be as simple as the name of your product and a sample copy in the description.
Why is this important? When creating your content, you can select which products the content is part of. It becomes a much smoother and more efficient setup process by first creating your products and then adding content to the product instead of vice versa.
Uploaded your files - When you are just starting out at SupaPass, you might have a lot of content you want to add. Part of the content are you cover images, possible download attachments etc. Having all these files already loaded up, will make it for a much quicker process instead of individually loading the file for each content piece you create.
Curating Your Content
With the two steps above complete, it’s time to master creating a professional layout for all your content.
On the Content Layout screen we help you make your content laid out like e.g. on Netflix / Amazon Prime / Spotify by utilizing a ‘Section’ Layout.
Your Content Layout Explained
At SupaPass there are three levels to keep in mind when curating your content
Content
The star of the show and the reason we are putting this all together is your content. There are three content types;
Audio - examples are podcasts, songs or audiobooks)
Video - examples are visual courses, video podcasts, recorded live sessions or Youtube content
Articles - examples are blog posts, written news or a community feed
Lists
Your content is added to a list. You can add the same content to different lists, if that is applicable. e.g. You have a new song that is part of an album. You can add the song to the album list, but you can also add the song to a list named 'My most recent songs'.
Section
A section is a collection of lists. The name of the Section is like a category that your list falls under. It is possible to have the same list fall under different Sections. You see this as well In Spotify - Music can be categorized as 'Christmas songs' but also as 'The best of Mariah Carey'.
TL;DR
Section = Collection of Lists (topics in sections down the page)
Lists = List of Content (like playlists/collections/albums that collect a series of content in a list)
Within your Content Layout screen your content shows on three tabs:
Video
Audio
Articles
Top Tip
You can rename these in the Builder e.g. Podcasts, Courses, Blogs (but remember where to go to add more audio, videos, and articles respectively as these will still always be your audio, video and articles tabs).
Examples of curation
Here are some examples of how the curation can look like for different content types.
Courses
Let's say you are starting a course on how to curate courses. Your course title is the Section - titled ‘Making Your Content Awesome’.
Wihtin this course there are four modules - each is a List titled 'Module 1', 'Module 2', 'Module 3' and 'Module 4’. So in this case this section will have 4 lists.
Each Module (List) has your content added, in this case five videos ‘Lesson 1-5’.
SVOD
Let's say you are starting a streaming service on vintage footage. You can create a section named 1920's . In this section you add different collections, which are your lists, e.g. focussed on a certain actor - let's say Charlie Chaplin. Within your list your have your content which are videos of scenes from different Charlie Chaplin movies.
Music
Let's you are a music artist, you've done live shows, you have studio recordings and you maybe have some unreleased demo's. these different categories could be your first three sections. Within the Live shows, you can create a collection of recordings of the different shows you've done, e.g. Fringe Festival 2025 - that's the name of your list. Within that list, you can add the live recordings for that show, which is your content
Setting up your Content Layout
Head to Content Layout (left menu in CONTENT section)
You’ll first make your Section, then your List, then your Content.
In most cases before you get to this screen you’ll already have created your Products (if you want to control access) and Uploaded your files in one go (to save you time for lots of content). Our instructions are based of this process.
If you just want to add one piece of content to an existing Section and list, you can check out this guide here.
New Section
Click Create Section (top right button) to add a new section on the page
Add the Section Name and hit Save
You can drag the order of the Section up and down to change the order your sections
In your content lay out screen all sections you create will show for all content types, even if that section does not apply. Your website and app will never show empty sections. If you created a section that is only applicable for e.g. video content, but not for audio content, then on your website the section will only show for video and will not show for audio.
New List
To add a new list, click on View all Lists button, then click on Create List button.
if the list already exists, then you can click Add to a List in the Section you want and select an existing list.
Complete the form and hit Save. Make sure to add a cover image, so the list really stands out.
You can change the order of the Lists within each Section by clicking edit on the Section and dragging the order of the Lists around.
New Content
On the Content Layout screen go to the tab for the content type you want (i.e. Video, Audio, Article - note if you’ve renamed the tabs remember which is which)
There are two routes to create new content:
Route 1
Click Create New Video/Audio/Article (depending on which content tab you’re on)
Route 2
Click the List you want to add the content to, and click Create Content (button on the right part way down the page)
Complete the Create Content form and click Save
Adding Content to different lists
If you want to add the same content into different lists, there's no need to reload everything from the media library. Once you've created a list, you can easily add existing content that already has a description and cover image.
To do this, navigate to the edit content form. Under the "List" header, you'll find an option to add content to a new list by clicking the "+" icon.
A pop-up will appear, displaying your existing lists. Simply select the relevant list, and your content will be added instantly.
