YOU’RE READY TO SCALE YOUR INCOME — BUT
Sitting around stressing about the tech setup, curriculum buildout, and—oh yeah—how to actually get students is NO WAY to launch your very first digital course.
(Talk about an unnecessary waste of time, money, and energy!)
Give your business a digital-course glow up—
and more importantly, go from 1:1 work (and capped profits) to a one-to-many residual income model through course creation.
YOU’VE GOT TO MAKE YOUR MOVE
Because, while you’re stuck thinking …
💭 I’ve got to keep money coming in the door—I don’t have time for unpaid work in my day like creating a course from scratch…
💭 It will be SO complicated to create a digital course with tech I’ve never used before—I can’t spare the mental energy for that right now …
💭 I need to have TONS of experience, be an ESTABLISHED expert, and get crystal-clear clarity on my exact, perfected curriculum before I can teach a COURSE on something …
💭 I’ve gotta grow my audience, plus map that sales funnel & launch plan before I even THINK about telling the world I’ve got something to sell and teach …
Your course could’ve already made bank and bankrolled your creation process.
IF ENTREPRENEURSHIP TEACHES YOU ANYTHING, IT’S THAT
Your course won't be PERFECT on Day 1.
In fact: Iteration is the name of the game.
You’ve GOT to test, tweak, prove, and adapt
And get used to it... because you’ll do it over and over in this business.
If you’ve served clients, helped people get results, or developed skills in a specific subject area... there’s a course inside of you.
And that course could help you scale your business to greater freedom & profitability by breaking you away from the capped-profit game of trading dollars for hours.
BUT—without some guidance and accountability—the big, bad fears & doubts swirling around in your head can keep you from creating it.
^^^ Ahem—Paid to Create challenge comin’ in hot with a reliable step-by-step process and a few hundred course-creating friends by your side.
You’ve got a 10% shot at accomplishing a goal
just because you have the idea.
Map out a solid timeline, and you’re boosted up to 40% success—
But when you add specific, real-time accountability for that goal?
You’ve got a whopping 95% chance at nailing it.
Turns out: spinning your wheels doesn’t increase your odds.
Neither does procrastination disguised as research …
or perfectionism masquerading as "gaining experience” …
or building an audience on social media for added exposure …
… before you actually put anything out there.
FEEL CALLED OUT? KEEP READING.

Walk through a proven step-by-step process
to create and sell the digital course your people actually want—that pays for itself from your very first sale.
Day 1 // OUTLINE YOUR COURSE
On Monday (10/28), we’ll TAKE ACTION as we put pen to paper and create the curriculum roadmap for your digital course. This is all you need before you can start promoting—and selling—your course. We’ll unpack:
- How to make swift decisions about the structure and content of your course based on your ideal audience and what they want and need.
- The process for crafting high-converting messaging that speaks straight to your future students, and helps you package your unique perspective into an uncopyable framework so your course becomes the must-pick solution for your audiences’ problems or desires (Protecting you from the dreaded “But can’t I just learn this on YouTube?” questions.)
- The platform we recommend for easy course creation & sales with an unparalleled user experience for you and your students—plus an exclusive deal for Paid to Create members.
Day 2 // BUILD YOUR COURSE
On Tuesday (10/29), we’ll start the buildout of your course and sales page, plus we’ll build your checkout page together—all in less than 30 minutes. We’ll walk you through:
- How to easily upload your homework from day 1 into your course portal to create a professional, stunning course outline for your students—zero design work or coding needed. (We’ll even show you our 6-click magic trick to change the look of your course whenever you want!)
- Building a 15-minute checkout page with all the essentials and none of the fluff, so you can start getting paid immediately. Skip the sales page and fancy funnel, you won’t need them to enroll your first paying students!
Day 3 // SELL YOUR COURSE
On Wednesday (10/30), you’ll learn to pre-sell and enroll paying beta students for your course with our proven “Sold Out Story” framework (and if you upgrade to the VIP Bundle Boost, you’ll get plug-and-play templates, too!) You’ll see in action:
- Our 7-part Sold Out Story Framework that makes pre-selling your beta course a breeze, no matter what medium you sell through (Emails, social, in-person, DMs, etc.)
- Visual examples from past Paid To CreateⓇ students in two vastly different niches who successfully implemented this framework and sold out their beta spots!
- How to deliver a wow-worthy beta experience that generates insightful feedback and rave reviews, which you’ll later leverage as social proof to sell your finished course (that you got PAID to create) to the public!
And of *course* there are bonuses …

Hey, I’m Ellen—an accidental entrepreneur
and unapologetic superfan of digital programs.
I landed my first client a month after quitting my corporate job without a backup plan and never submitted another resume again. Over the past 5 years, Cubicle to CEO has served more than 14,000 students, and my online courses and memberships have collectively generated over $1.5 MILLION in revenue.
So yes, I know a thing or two about creating and selling digital programs. ;) But even more importantly, I can teach you how to create programs that generate massive impact.
Through this live challenge, we have seen all kinds of people (with varying talents, experience levels, backgrounds, etc.) successfully launch their first online course in just 3 days. Thousands have kick-started their shift from 1:1 work to a scalable business model. Hundreds of students have scaled to six figures and beyond under my mentorship.
Now, it’s YOUR turn!
Check off one (or a few) of the boxes below—
and you’ll know Paid to Create is a perfect fit.
