In 2013, Darian Kovacs built a 20-person, boutique marketing agency in Fort Langley, BC, called @JellyMarketing. Five years into launching his agency, an encounter with a longtime client sparked the idea for a digital marketing school. Soon, his other clients heard that he was teaching digital marketing and became interested. From there, Jelly Academy was born. Since 2019, he’s created two learning streams through the Thinkific school: Digital Marketing Bootcamp and Digital Literacy Course—blending hands-on skills with certifications from Google, Meta, and Hootsuite.

Our customer GTM Partners began as a B2B advisory firm trading hours for revenue. While they’re highly successful, having earned over $5 million in revenue since 2022, cofounders Bryan Brown and Sangram Vajre eventually hit a time ceiling – they simply couldn’t take on more work themselves. To scale, they turned their proprietary framework into an online academy, GTM University. Now, instead of working with every client personally, they give companies the resources they need to implement their recommended go-to-market strategies themselves. In less than a year, the online academy made over $500,000 in sales using Thinkific. In the latest edition of our newsletter #TheThoughtProcess, Bryan shares their strategies for scaling business revenue and impact with online education, including: → Packaging your expertise into a professional training program → How to attract high-quality leads with limited-time free access → Why you should make your course content concise and easy to share Read the newsletter and subscribe free to The Thought Process here: thinkific.com/the-thought-pr… #Thinkific #OnlineLearning #LearningBusiness #OnlineCourses #BusinessGrowth

Admirato, a US-based digital learning company, is making high-quality theological education accessible for individuals and groups all around the world. “In March 2020, we thought: the world’s shutting down… let’s just put one of our Small Group Editions (bundles) for free… And we had 40,000 people sign up," said Rebecca Bowling, Vice President of Operations at Admirato. As part of ongoing growth efforts, they began looking for a platform powerful enough to host their material and offer a premium learning experience to their clients. They chose Thinkific Plus for many reasons, including its robust group management tools like bulk enrollment, advanced analytics, and self-managed access for facilitators.

With credits on albums by artists like Frank Ocean and Doja Cat, Grammy-winning music engineer Jeff Ellis set out to create the best mixing online course. Cheekily named “Mixer Brain,” his $370 course made over 1,500 sales in just eight months. "I feel like in my world of music, people are teaching what I do for a living so badly on YouTube. And because of that, producers and songwriters are infected with what I call Mixer Brain," Jeff says. "I was wondering, 'How can I solve this problem?' I then learned about Thinkific. I didn't know that there’s a platform out there where the backbone of video hosting, commerce, and everything is already handled." In the latest edition of our newsletter #TheThoughtProcess, Jeff shares the key strategies behind the rapid growth of his learning business, including: → Why you should market your course with personality and humor → How to price your course strategically with the help of AI → Leveraging your achievements and reviews to build trust Read the newsletter and subscribe free to The Thought Process here: thinkific.com/the-thought-pr… #Thinkific #OnlineLearning #LearningBusiness #OnlineCourses #BusinessGrowth #Entrepreneurship

Setting new year goals for your online learning business? 📈 In the latest edition of our newsletter #TheThoughtProcess, we dive into four resolutions you need to grow your revenue: 1. Launch your next offer, even before it’s complete. Don't let the pursuit of perfection delay your launch and potential revenue growth. Prelaunch and validate your next offer quickly. 2. Double down on your top-performing marketing channels. Stop chasing fleeting social media trends. Instead, focus on marketing channels that generate consistent traffic and quality leads for your online learning business. 3. Price your offer based on the value it provides. To seriously grow your revenue, stop undercharging for your expertise. Price your offer based on the transformation and results it provides. Focus on the before-and-after: think concrete benefits like a new job, higher earnings, or mastery of a skill. 4. Build repeatable systems for scaling. Scaling your online learning business means moving beyond trading your time for money. This requires building repeatable systems, diversifying revenue, and strategically outsourcing.

Vivian Garcell dreamed of working remotely and traveling the world. ✈️ “I did all the right things, but I didn’t feel fulfilled,” shares Garcell. “I just wanted to work from my laptop and take my work with me.” In 2016, she quit her corporate career and became a freelance virtual assistant. When friends started asking how they could do the same, she had the idea to create her own online content teaching them to do so under the brand Virtual Vivian. Drawing on her experience making courses for clients, she built and marketed her first course: Virtual Freelancer Academy. Fast forward, and she’s lived her dream by taking two, six-month trips around Canada and the US by growing an online academy, building a social media following, and creating value-packed lead magnets. See how she did it here: thinkific.com/case-studies/v…
