Are you feeling overwhelmed by not knowing how to stay on top of content creation?
You’re trying to show up on social media, write blog posts, make videos, and do ALL the things.

Sound familiar?

Episode 44 | How to Create an Online Course with Teachery Founder, Jason Zook
The Course Creator Show
05/26/20 • 43 min
On this week’s episode I’m sitting down with Jason Zook.
If you don’t know Jason, he started in online business over 10 years ago with a wacky idea called iWearYourShirt, that he turned into a business generating over a million bucks.
He has since written books, launched online courses, coached hundreds of other entrepreneurs, and created a software company.
All with his unique edge. If Jason Zook is doing something - I can guarantee you, he is doing it differently than everybody else.
In today’s show, he and I are digging into online courses. What makes a great course versus one that flops? Is the infopreneur market too saturated? How has he and Caroline (his incredible wife) created and sold over 30 courses between them?
And then we’re diving into Teachery. Jason is the founder Teachery - an online course software platform.
I have used Teachery myself for years to deliver all of my courses, membership, and other digital products and I wanted to have him on the show to speak to how Teachery stands out against the competition, what makes it a great platform to use as a course creator, and what’s coming up with their company.
That’s all on today’s show - so stay tuned.

Episode 45 | Get started with manifestation (and watch what happens!), with Taylor Rae
The Course Creator Show
06/02/20 • 41 min
We’re going there today, friends.
Into the woo.
Have you ever tried manifesting?
Or read a book about the law of attraction?
It’s either way too out there for some of you, others have little seeds of interest and want to know more, and the rest of you are fully into it and can’t get enough of talking about the law of attraction, rituals, energy, and all things spiritual.
In the last couple of years, I have gotten way more into this stuff. And honestly, the more I explore it, the happier I feel, the more balance and clarity I have in my life, and I have taken aligned actions in my business that have allowed me to grow it, too
So I wanted to talk about some of this stuff with you guys. I’m still a newbie when it comes to this stuff, so i asked my friend and manifestation expert, Taylor Rae to come on for a chat.
In today’s episode, Taylor and I are talking about:
- What manifestation is and the steps you can take to get started
- How to releasing fear and limiting beliefs that stop you from stepping up and showing up
- The MAJEM method to creating a morning ritual that works for you
- Money blocks that you might be experiencing without even realizing it
Get ready... because we’re getting woo woo up in here. That’s all coming up, on this episode of The Passive Project Podcast.

Episode 133 | How Carissa Kruse created a membership in the wedding planning space... and hit 200+ members!
The Course Creator Show
01/22/23 • 26 min
Today, we're chatting with one of our Passive Project Members: Carissa Kruse.
Carissa Kruse is a Wedding Industry Maven, Queen of Sales and Marketing, and Creator of Wedding-Preneurs Content ClubTM and Brides To BookingsTM.
In this episode, she is sharing:
How to figure out how and where you fit in within your industry and niche.
There are other course creators offering similar products and services, but there is probably somewhere within your service niche that you can be different and shine through. Once she leaned into what her audience was really needing she was able to create her own path and not feel like she was competing with everyone else.
By doing this as well, she was able to build relationships within her same niche which has been incredible for her business.
She always tell the wedding pros that it's community over competition and she believes that in the online coaching world too.
Not everyone is a right fit client.
She knows course creators sometimes think that there are others teaching the same thing, but if you can figure out a way that you can offer something your audience really needs that is unique and different (really dig and think outside of the box), you can stand out.
This is what she did with her Wedding-Preneurs Content Club.
Let's no forget some kind words she had to say about her experience inside of The Passive Project:
"OMG! I could go on for days about how great your course and programs are and have helped me. I think I own everything you offer. I love your teaching style and your processes really resonate with me.
For me one of the biggest takeaway from Passive Project is that building an online business takes a lot of trial and error. PP has really helped me uncover the changes and tweaks to make in the business as I'm building it. I just hit 200 members inside my membership (one of my big goals!) and I had an 8.3% conversion rate on my launch. I'm turning it evergreen right away!"

The Course Creator Show
02/01/21 • 31 min
2020 was a transformative year in a lot of ways, including stirring up some major shifts in the online business space.
I think it’s safe to say that most entrepreneurs are thinking about their businesses with a whole new lens and want to make sure they feel authentic and in alignment with their values.
So...
Are we going to spend 2021 with “business as usual” launches?
Using the same tactics that we’ve always used to sell our programs and products?
Chelsea Wallace, The Launch Copy Coach, sure doesn’t think so.
Chelsea has worked behind the scenes on launches for some giants in the industry - think Marie Forleo, Marley Jaxx, and others - and she has some serious insight on what some of these big trends and shifts look like.
Join us today as we talk about what live launching in 2021 will look like. And get some of Chelsea’s best tips on not only how to survive live launches - but actually thrive and love them.
