THE FULL STARTER CURRICULUM
Eight lessons. Fourteen hands-on labs.
Follow the work in order, from buyer interviews and product scope to recording, checkout rehearsal and a 14-day launch plan.
01Connect a useful Reel to a useful product
Map the relationship between your audience, helpful content, your product, and the signals that tell you whether it is useful.
Your action: Write a one-sentence path from an audience problem to a concrete digital deliverable.
02Research a market and test an offer hypothesis
Gather audience observations, look for recurring questions, and use a small sample to test whether people care.
Your action: Compare candidate tasks, interview potential buyers and test a small sample with an observable success criterion.
03Build, price and test a small vault product
Define the product, develop one usable example, make an editable version, and ask a beginner to try it.
Your action: Define scope and a price hypothesis, then test the extracted product with a fresh reader.
04Produce ten original publish-ready Reels
Explore screen demos, mistake-and-fix videos, and narrow tutorials. Connect a clear hook, demonstration, and call to action.
Your action: Build ten filming cards, record original demonstrations, and check captions and asset rights before export.
05Build the path from profile to product page
Build a clear offer with real previews, concrete contents, useful FAQs, and claims supported by the files.
Your action: Use the Sales Page Template to explain the deliverable and who it helps.
06Test checkout, delivery and customer recovery
Compare provider requirements, prepare the listing, and verify the download and support experience before launch.
Your action: Rehearse receipt-to-download and first use, then record the separate provider checks.
07Measure the funnel and choose one repair
Record useful signals, distinguish attention from intent, and review where the journey may be losing people.
Your action: Record your posts in Content Metrics and select one variable to improve.
08Run a 14-day launch sprint

03 / BUILT FOR THE BEGINNING
Understand the work. Then build the system.
It’s easy to collect tools and still not know what to do next. Start by connecting the basics. Automation becomes more useful when you know what you’re asking it to do.
A good fit if…
You’re willing to research, create original work, test your setup, and learn from feedback.
Keep this in mindThis is a written starter course, not a done-for-you business, coaching program, or guarantee of sales.

05 / BEFORE YOU START
Good questions. Clear answers.
01What exactly is the starter vault?
A downloadable V3 Obsidian vault with eight written lessons, 14 labs, 17 editable templates, 30 Reel concepts, ten script packs, 13 optional AI prompts, seven CSV files and two fictional case studies with sample products.
02Do I need to know Obsidian?
No prior Obsidian experience is expected. The course is organized as an Obsidian vault: extract the folder, open it as a vault, and begin with START HERE. Markdown files can also be read in a text editor; the linked navigation and Canvas map work best in Obsidian. A laptop or desktop is recommended for the initial setup.
03Do I have to show my face or already have an audience?
No. The course covers original screen recordings, demonstrations, captions, and tutorials. You can begin the exercises without an audience, but reaching interested people takes work and is not guaranteed.
04Is this suitable for a complete beginner?
Yes, if you are ready to research a real problem and make something useful. You will work through the lessons and worksheets yourself. The 15-minute first task gets you started. The 14-day plan gives you a sequence to adapt to your pace.
05Does this guarantee income or a first sale?
No. Demand, distribution, product quality, pricing, and execution all affect results. You may make no sales. The goal is to build and test a practical workflow, then learn from what actually happens.
06Do I need paid AI tools or expensive software?
The 13 AI prompts are optional and include manual alternatives. You can finish the course without a paid AI plan. A computer, original content, and tools suitable for your product are the starting point. Software, hosting, payment, and provider costs are separate from the course and depend on what you choose.
07Can I resell the course or get the AI system with it?
The course is for learning and using the templates in your own business. It does not grant resale rights to the course itself. AI Content Engine is a separate product in development; it is not included, available for preorder, or guaranteed as a future upgrade.
08How will payment, delivery, and refunds work?
Purchases are closed. The customer policy pages below explain the digital format and what will be confirmed before checkout opens.
