Building a Course Business Is Hard Enough.
Join a free community of course creators and online educators who are figuring it out together — with real support, practical guidance, and a guide who has been doing this for over 24 years.
Join the Free CommunityYou started this because you have something worth teaching.
Maybe you're still in the early stages, trying to figure out how to turn what you know into something people will actually pay for. Maybe you've already launched, and you're staring at numbers that don't reflect how hard you've worked.
Either way, you probably spend a lot of time in your own head, second-guessing decisions, Googling questions that lead to more questions, and wondering if everyone else has figured out something you haven't.
Building a course business is genuinely hard. The tech is overwhelming. The strategy is constantly shifting. AI changed how students learn and how they buy. What worked two years ago isn't a guarantee today. And most of the advice online is either too basic to be useful or too advanced to be actionable.
What's missing isn't more information. What's missing is a community where people are honest about what's working, what isn't, and what they're still trying to figure out.
This community is that place.
It's free, it's practical, and it's designed for two kinds of people: those who are just getting started and want to build something real from the beginning, and those who have already built something and want to make it work better.
What connects you is the goal:
- ✓ A course business that actually runs.
- ✓ Students who get real results.
- ✓ A system that doesn't require you to be online every minute of the day.
- ✓ And the confidence that comes from knowing you're not guessing anymore.
What's Included
A Community of Online Educators
Whether you're pre-launch or years in, you'll find people here who understand what you're building and why it matters. Ask questions, share what's working, celebrate the wins that your non-business friends don't quite understand.
Real Experiments, Not Theory
Watch Kim test AI tools, automations, and systems in real time and share what actually happens. Not polished case studies after the fact. The messy middle, the results, and the honest takeaways, so you can make better decisions faster in your own business.
First Access to Resources
Community members always hear about new tools, workshops, and programs before anyone else. You'll be the first to know when something new is available.
When you join, you stop building in isolation.
You get answers faster. You make better decisions because you're learning from people who have already made the mistakes. You start to feel less like someone figuring it out alone and more like someone who is part of something.
And when you're ready to go deeper — whether that's building your first Thinkific site with structured support or leveling up your whole system inside The Collective — you'll know exactly where to go and you'll already feel at home there.
This is for you if...
- ✓ You're building (or planning to build) a course, membership, or coaching program online
- ✓ You want practical guidance, not just cheerleading
- ✓ You're open to using AI and automation to make your business run more smoothly
- ✓ You want to learn from other creators who are in the trenches with you
- ✓ You believe that building something sustainable matters more than chasing overnight results
This is not for you if...
- ✕ You're looking for someone to do the work for you
- ✕ You're not willing to implement what you learn
- ✕ You want a passive content library you'll never open
Hi, I'm Kim Garnett
Kim has been building in the online education space since 2015 and recognized by Thinkific as one of their very first official experts. Her background in business systems goes back 24 years, starting when she was a single mom and solopreneur who realized that "picking my brain" was not a sustainable business model.
Since then, she has supported more than 1,000 course creators, coaches, and solopreneurs in building businesses that actually work. She's not here to sell you a dream. She's here to help you build the thing, solve the problems that come up along the way, and make sure the technology works for you instead of against you.
This community is where she does some of that work in the open. Alongside people who are building something real.
Investment / Pricing
No credit card. No catch.
Kim built this community because building alone is harder than it needs to be. The people here make her a better teacher, push her thinking, and shape what she creates next.
Come in, get your questions answered, and see what's possible.
Questions?
Is this really free?
Yes. Genuinely, no-strings free. Kim offers paid programs and you'll hear about them, but the community itself costs nothing and delivers real value. That's intentional.
I'm brand new. Is this still for me?
Absolutely. If you're just starting out and want to build your first course or membership, this is a great place to get oriented. When you're ready for structured, guided support to build your first Thinkific site, the Thinkific Launchpad cohort is the natural next step.
I already have a course business. Will I get value here?
Yes. The community is built for both stages. If you're looking for ongoing support, live workshops, and a growing resource library to level up your whole system, The Collective membership is built for you.
How active is the community?
Kim shows up live on a regular basis. The community is designed to be useful, not overwhelming. You won't drown in notifications.
What's the next step after the community?
It depends on where you are. New to Thinkific and want to build your first site? The Thinkific Launchpad cohort is a six-week guided build with Kim and a small group. Already building and want ongoing support? The Collective is a monthly membership with live workshops, office hours, and tools to help you grow. The community is the starting point for both.
You don't have to build this alone.
Join the community for free and get the support, answers, and people around you that make this whole thing a lot more doable.
