You're smart.
You're accomplished.
You have decades of expertise that people genuinely need.
And yet…
You've watched more YouTube tutorials than you can count. You've downloaded the free guides, attended the webinars, maybe even hired someone who promised they knew what they were doing - and left you worse than they found you.
You have a folder on your desktop called something like "Course Stuff" with half-finished lessons, workbooks and video scripts.
You've looked at Teachable, Podia, Kajabi, LearnDash. You've settled on Thinkific - but every time you open the dashboard, you click around for twenty minutes, get overwhelmed, and close the laptop, telling yourself you'll come back when you have more time. More energy. More of something you can't quite name.
Meanwhile, your course content sits on your hard drive. Helping no one.
"What is wrong with me? Why can't I just figure this out?"
Let me tell you what's wrong with you. Nothing.
Not one single thing.
You are a professor. An artist. A specialist. An expert with thirty years of hard-won knowledge. You have figured out extraordinarily hard things your whole life.
What you haven't had is the right guide. Someone who actually knows Thinkific inside and out, who knows marketing, who knows tech.
Someone who has set up hundreds of sites, and can sit with you - patiently, without judgment - and show you exactly what to do, in exactly the right order, until it's done.
That's what the Thinkific Launchpad is.
Hi, I'm Kim Garnett
...and I've been called "the only Thinkific expert" by clients who'd worked with others first.
I don't say that to brag. I say it because I know exactly what it feels like to trust someone with something this important and be let down. My clients come to me after the wasted money, the half-baked advice, the "expert" who disappeared once they got paid. I've heard the frustration in their voices. I've seen the relief - sometimes through actual tears - when they realize they've finally found someone who will actually get them across the finish line.
I've been a certified Thinkific expert since 2015 - before most people had even heard of online courses. I've set up hundreds of Thinkific sites, from first-time course creators to seven-figure entrepreneurs. I know where you get stuck, why you get stuck, and exactly how to get you unstuck.
If you've watched any of my YouTube videos or found me through the Thinkific Expert Directory, you already know that I'm a straight talker who cares deeply about your results. I will not waste your time. I will not take your money and disappear. And I will not let you fall behind.
What I will do is guide you through every single step of building your Thinkific site - live, together, over six weeks - until you have a professional online school you're genuinely proud of.
That's my promise to you.
Here's exactly what we build together.
Six weeks to a fully launched online school.
Foundation & Setup
We get your Thinkific account properly configured from the start. No more second-guessing settings you don't understand. We also set up your cohort buddy system for accountability.
Your Site, Your Brand
We make your Thinkific school look like you. Theme selection, logo, colors, fonts - everything set up with intention. We connect integrations and configure payment settings.
Your Course, Built Right
We set up your course structure for maximum student success. Content upload, drip scheduling, completion certificates - done right, in the right order.
Pages That Actually Convert
We build your home page and course sales page using proven conversion frameworks. This is the work that turns browsers into buyers. You'll walk away with pages you're proud to send people to.
Automated Marketing
We connect your email marketing, set up your welcome sequences, and automate the student experience so you're not manually managing every enrollment.
The Details
Why the Launchpad is different.
I've been here since 2015.
Not since the pandemic made online courses trendy. Since Thinkific was brand new. I have seen every update, every change, every best practice emerge in real time. When you ask me a question, I know the answer.
The group is small on purpose.
Because I want to know your name, your course topic, and your specific sticking points. Because I want to be able to say "let's look at your sales page together" during a live session.
Nobody gets left behind.
Every session is recorded. The buddy system means someone is always one message away. And every Monday from 9–9:45am PT, Kim holds open Office Hours — drop in, bring your questions/issues, get unstuck in real time. You don't have to figure this out alone.
What real clients say.
Don't just take my word for it.
"It’s been such a dream team collaboration working with you the past 3 weeks on my site. It’ll be like a withdrawal period not having your daily emails. It truly kept me going! 'Brainy Girl' is amazing and your outstanding reputation is well-deserved! Thank you again. I can’t wait to work with you in the future."
"I have 33 people on my waitlist for the rosé class! And if you think about it, the fact that nearly everyone will have at least another 1-4 people over to their house to watch with them, I could be teaching upwards of 300 people! Exciting! Thanks again for all your help. I’m so grateful!"
"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. Her expertise, knowledge, and calm demeanour shines through in everything she does."
"Seamless, professional and KNOWS HER STUFF! What a great experience working with Kim at Brainy Girl. We couldn’t have made this migration to Thinkific without her."
Everything you get.

Total value: $3,397+
One payment of $1500 CAD or two monthly payments of $800 CAD
A custom-built Thinkific site starts at $4,000. The Launchpad gets you there for $1,500 - and you'll actually understand every part of what you've built.
Questions?
"I'm not techy at all. I'm going to be the most clueless person in the room."
Good. That is exactly who this is built for. Every single person who joins this cohort is coming in because tech has felt overwhelming and confusing. Nobody is showing up already knowing how to do this - if they did, they wouldn't need Kim, or the Launchpad. Kim has spent over a decade making Thinkific feel simple for people who describe themselves as "not techy." It is genuinely her superpower. You will not be the most clueless person in the room. But even if you were - Kim would not let you fall behind.
"What if I can't keep up?"
Every session is recorded. If you can't make the live session, you watch the replay and catch up. The homework is designed to be doable in a few hours between sessions - not a second full-time job. And your cohort buddy is there for exactly the moments when you get stuck and need a real person to say "you've got this."
"What if I get stuck between sessions?"
Every Monday from 9–9:45am PT, Kim holds open Office Hours. Drop in, bring your question, and leave with an answer. It's first come, first served — and it's there specifically for the moments when you hit a wall and need a real human (an actual expert!) to help you move forward.
"I've spent money on 'experts' before and been burned. How is this different?"
We understand. Kim's frustration (on your behalf) about every person who took your money and left you worse than they found you is one of the reasons she continues to do what she does. In her experience there is a lack of integrity amongst those who call themselves "experts". Here's what's different: Kim was one of the first recognized Thinkific experts (since 2015) - recognized by Thinkific themselves. She has set up and overhauled hundreds of Thinkific sites. Thinkific themselves list her in their expert directory - they vouch for her. She has a full page of reviews from real people, with real names, who will tell you exactly what working with her is like. The Thinkific Launchpad is not a course about Thinkific. Kim is not someone who learned the platform last year. She is the person Thinkific sends their customers to.
"I secretly wish someone would just do it for me."
We hear you - and we understand completely. A custom Thinkific site built by our team starts at $4,000 and goes up to $10,000+. For some people, that's the right investment. But here's what it doesn't give you: the ability to be the architect of your own site. When someone else builds it, you get a beautiful school you may be afraid to touch. You still have to learn how to update it, add courses, or change your pricing - or you have to call someone to do it for you. When we build it together, in The Thinkific Launchpad, you'll know it inside and out - AND you'll have the confidence to grow it on your own long after the cohort ends.
"$1,500 is a lot of money."
Compare it to another year of not launching. Another year of no course revenue. Another year of your expertise sitting on your hard drive. And every month you delay is a month you're not earning from the knowledge you've spent a lifetime building. This is a powerful investment with a direct, fast financial return. If your course is priced at just $500, selling only three enrollments completely covers your entire investment in the Launchpad. The question isn't whether you can afford to do this. It's whether you can afford not to.
This is for you if...
- You have course content ready - or nearly ready - to upload
- You've been trying to launch for months (or years) and keep getting stuck
- You want expert guidance instead of figuring it out alone
- You're ready to show up live and do the work
- You want to finally feel proud of what you put out into the world
This is not for you if...
- You're still creating your course content from scratch
- You want someone else to build everything for you
- You can't commit to the cohort schedule
- You're looking for the cheapest possible option
- You prefer working alone
- You believe you know more than the real experts
The April cohort starts April 24th - and spots are limited.
Not because it sounds good to say "limited spots." Because it's true - and because a small cohort is fundamentally different from a cohort of 50. I want to know your name. I want to know your audience, your topic, the transformation you’re promising your students. I can look at your site during a live session and tell you exactly what to fix. That level of attention disappears the moment the number gets bigger.
When it's full, it's full. The next cohort won't start until August.
If you've been waiting for the right time - this is it. Not because of a fake deadline. Because your knowledge has already been waiting long enough.
Here's what I want you to imagine.
It’s the day after this cohort ends.
Your Thinkific school is live. Your sales page is up. Your payment settings work. Your welcome email goes out automatically the moment someone enrolls. You tested it yourself - you know, because you built it.
You share the link with someone for the first time. Maybe a past client, maybe a friend, maybe you post it quietly on LinkedIn just to see.
And then… a ding on your phone. Your first student just enrolled!
And you feel something you've been waiting to feel. Pride. Relief. The particular satisfaction of having finally, actually accomplished this feat.
Instead of panicking, not knowing if your school or course is set up correctly; whether they’re going to get an email upon enrollment; or what they’re seeing when they enroll, you take a deep sigh.
That's what May 29th looks like.
