There are two different methods for initially leading people to your course, and which one you use will depend on if people are PAYING for your e-course or if you are offering it for FREE.
Regardless of which you decide, the first step is that you need to password protect your Table of Contents page. Here is how you do that:
Under your Home tab, click the gear wheel next to the Table of Contents Page for your course.
Under the General tab, scroll down to where you see it says Password, and enter the password you would like for your users to use to access your course.
Try to think up something clever that goes along with the theme for your course. For example, in my Give A Shape to Your Dream course, I used the password: DREAMINITUP.
When you have finished putting in your password, click SAVE in the upper lefthand corner.
Now what you’ve just done is made it so that when anyone goes to your Table of Contents page, this is what will come up:
Don’t fret that it will get annoying to your clients to have to put in the password every time they go back to your Table of Contents- Squarespace has made it so as long as they have put in the password once, they can scroll back to that same page for about the next half hour or so.
So now the next question becomes:
How do I provide my customers with their login password?
Well, I’m glad you asked!
I will show you two different methods based on if you are offering a PAID COURSE or a FREE COURSE.
Setting up your welcome page and opting in to a free class
how to direct your customers to their paid-for class after payment

And that is it, my friend!
Now all that is left is to go back and put a little more time and effort into refining the details of your message, the style and how your course flows- so you really have something you are excited to present to your clients!
I know they are going to love it!!
