Here’s what you can expect from this episode:

Are you ready to start creating and selling your own course? If you are looking for a way to scale without taking on more clients and growing a team, then this might be the solution for you. In this episode, I sit down with Kelsey McCormick, a self-proclaimed Squiggly Creative™ and the founder of Coming Up Roses, to dish on all things course creation.

We dive into creating a course as a social media manager, what you’ll need to do beforehand, how to create the course itself, and how to run a beta program for it. We’ll also cover launching the course and all of your questions about creating a course, how you’re going to sell it, and even pricing! 

Whether you’re battling burnout from the daily grind of social media management or simply looking for fresh ways to expand your brand, there is something here for you. Let’s dive in!

Meet Kelsey:

Kelsey is a self-proclaimed Squiggly Creative™ and the founder of Coming Up Roses. She knows what it takes to grow a brand from the ground up. In 2020, months into the shut down and new motherhood, Kelsey planted the seed for what became a space for creatives to superbloom their own brands. By year two she grew her creative studio to a multi-six-figure business and then, she shut it down. Today, utilizing her background in content marketing in the music industry, and her knack for community building, she pivoted to being a brand leader and mentor for creatives worldwide.

She believes in Planting The Seed Before You’re Ready, Celebrating The Squiggly Parts Of Brand Growth and that Only “Right” Way Is Your Own Way. Her best-selling programs are Grow Your Own Brand – helping creatives cultivate a Point Of View + and Offer Garden and Launch Your Own Way, helping them grow a marketing machine in their business.

She lives in Australia with her husband and son.

We’re dishing on the ins and outs of the social media management world without any of the gatekeeping that can come along with it. You’ll learn, you’ll laugh, and you’ll leave each episode inspired.
