You started a course business because you have real expertise worth sharing.
Maybe you're still figuring out how to package it. Maybe you've already launched and you're trying to make it actually grow.
Brainy Girl exists to help course creators and online educators build thriving businesses — with the right tools, the right systems, and a community of people doing the same work alongside you.
What We Do
The Free Community
This is where it starts. A free space for course creators at every stage to ask questions, share what's working, and learn alongside Kim as she tests tools, AI workflows, and systems in real time. No fluff. No gatekeeping. Just honest conversations about what it actually takes to build a course business that works.
The Thinkific Launchpad Cohort
A 6-week guided program for people who are ready to build their Thinkific site the right way from the beginning. Small group. Structured support. Real results. Runs twice a year.
The Collective
The membership for course creators and online educators who want ongoing support as they grow. Live workshops, office hours, a growing digital resource library, and a community of people who are serious about building something sustainable. This is where the work gets done.
Our Values
At Brainy Girl, everything we do comes back to these four things:
Empowerment
You should feel more capable after working with us, not more dependent on us.
Structure
Systems create freedom. We build frameworks that give you clarity and consistency.
Integrity
No hype. No bait and switch. What you see is what you get.
Legacy
We build things that last, for your students and for your business.
Hi, I'm Kim Garnett,
founder of Brainy Girl.
I've been in the online education space since 2015, when Thinkific made me one of their first recognized experts. Before that, I spent over two decades building business systems for entrepreneurs who were great at their craft but drowning in the operational side of running a business, and getting businesses online.
I've worked with more than 1,000 course creators, coaches, and solopreneurs. I know this space well. And I know that the biggest obstacle most people face isn't a lack of ideas or a lack of expertise. It's the gap between knowing what you want to build and knowing how to actually build it.
The way I do that has evolved over the years. The business runs on group programs and a membership because that's what creates the most value for the most people, without requiring me to trade every hour of my day for a dollar.
My ADHD brain turns out to be a genuine asset in this environment. I adapt quickly, spot patterns and opportunities fast, and genuinely enjoy figuring out what comes next. That energy shows up in the community, in the cohorts, and in The Collective membership where the real work gets done.
I built this business to support my life, not consume it. That same philosophy is baked into everything we teach.
“Kim, I wish I’d found you sooner” is one of the first things I read when I found Kim Garnett’s website, and I fully agree.
Kim exceeded my expectations every step of the way and I can’t sing her praises enough! If you are a course creator seeking solid marketing advice, guidance on how to navigate technology, and want a website that not only pops but focuses on maximizing your client’s experience; HIRE KIM. If you want someone who is organized, responsive, accountable, and takes the time to show you how to navigate technology; HIRE KIM.
Kim’s expertise, knowledge, and calm demeanour shines through in everything she does. Equally important, I felt confident she would deliver, and that she did in record time. Kim’s passion for her clients and her work made me feel like my project was her project too.
Her generosity regarding the time she shares and her immense bank of resources in invaluable. If you want an expert who is above the crowd, one who has your back, then look no further than Kim Garnett of Brainy Girl. Thank you Kim!
