A partnership invitation

Teach your audience something truly useful. Earn from it for a year.

You don't even have to teach a thing, I'll do it for you. I teach marketing and AI to solo business owners — coaches, consultants, and people building a business on their own, often in a second career. If that sounds like your people, I'd like to teach a class for them.

Fit

Who this is for

This works well if your audience is:

  • Coaches, consultants, or service providers working without a team
  • Often people in a second career, building their first business
  • Already selling something, and trying to get found
  • Using AI or wanting to use AI but feeling lost
  • More interested in methodical progress than a hustle to scale fast

It's probably not a fit if your audience is:

  • Still working out what they sell — these classes assume there's already an offer
  • Agencies, or anyone with a marketing team already
  • People looking to hire it out rather than learn it
  • Ecommerce or product businesses
  • Audiences that mostly want done-for-you services
The offer

I'm offering to teach a live class for your audience.

Sixty minutes of real teaching. With exercises built in, so we're applying in real time, not filling notebooks that never get returned to. Five minutes at the end on my membership, the Solo Business Classroom.

High value, a positive experience, and progress made.

The classes

Choose a class

Which class is the best fit for your people? Not sure, tell me about your audience and I'll recommend one.

1

Get Recommended by AI

What they get: The three-step process for becoming referenceable by ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity.

They leave understanding why AI tools recommend some businesses and not others, and with the first step done for their own business.

Best for audiences asking about AI who don't yet know it has already changed how people find them.

2

Make Your Business Binge-Able

What they get: The behavior buyers work through before they're ready to buy, and how to make that easy.

They leave knowing which pieces of content people actually need to move through before hiring/buying from them, and the specific type they MUST experience, so they can decide.

Best for people who are all over the place with little result or those who know they need to be visible, but are overwhelmed by it.

3

Never Run Out of Content Topics

What they get: A repeatable way to generate topics, formats, and angles specific enough to be worth reading.

They leave with a method they can run any time they're stuck, and a working list of topics for their own business.

Best for people posting inconsistently, or staring at a blank screen most weeks.

The format

How the class runs

60 minutes of teaching. Practical material your audience can use that week. Pause sessions for exercises so we're applying in real time.

5 minutes on the offer. One mention of the Solo Business Classroom at the end. The class is the same exact experience inside the Solo Business Classroom, so no pitch is needed.

Classes take place on Zoom.

Your part

What I ask from you

Promote the class and offer to your audience, using your affiliate link.

3 emails. Two for the class, one for the offer. I'll send you the copy and the recommended timing, but you are free to write/choose your own as well.

Use your affiliate link and receive 30% of the monthly membership fee for up to 12 months.

The numbers

What you earn

30% recurring, for up to 12 months.

The Solo Business Classroom is $149 or $199 per month.

One member is worth

$536 to $716

to you over a year.

Ten members

$5,400 to $7,200

over the same year.

Not a one-time thank-you. A revenue line that keeps paying while those members stay — and members who join at this stage of business tend to stay a while.

There's no launch window. SBC is evergreen. People can join in any month and get immediate value, so your links keep earning after the class instead of expiring with a cart close. You can also promote it again later, whenever it fits your calendar.

Affiliate commissions are reviewed after the 30-day refund/trial window has passed.

Approved commissions are paid manually, typically within 60 days of the completed purchase.

Payments will be made through PayPal unless another arrangement is agreed to in writing.

Affiliate partners are responsible for providing accurate payment information.

What you get

You get inside the Classroom

Once we've got a date on the calendar, I'll set you up with 90 days complimentary access to the Solo Business Classroom, including the Review tier.

You should know exactly what you're recommending. That means the classes, the community, and Review — where I give personal feedback on your actual homepage, your actual emails, rather than generic advice. It's the part members stay for and the part that's hardest to describe secondhand.

Alternatives

Other Ways We Can Partner and Help Us Both Grow

Not every partnership fits an affiliate arrangement, and that's fine. If any of these suit you better, that works too.

A bonus for your launch

I teach a live class to your buyers as part of your offer stack. You add it to your sales page, I deliver it, and it your people get extra value that didn't take any of your time. I've done this many times for big launches.

Good if you're mid-launch and can't fit a standalone class, or if you want a live bonus that isn't another recorded PDF. This works with or without the affiliate arrangement — your call whether I mention my membership at the end.

A resource swap

Potential clients are just waiting to binge you. This means they want to experience more of how you think, how you can help, and who you are as a person.

I've found that if a person can "binge you" they are highly likely to buy from you.

Eight questions, a few minutes, and you'll have a Binge-Able Business recipe made just for you.

Try it out for yourself here.

Something else

If you've got an idea that isn't on this page, email me. Let's talk about it.

For your people

A bonus for your audience

Anyone who joins SBC through your link gets a 30-minute one-on-one marketing plan session with me. We pick their one focus for the next 90 days and the classes that support it.

Available to the first 6 people, so it stays a real session rather than a promise I can't keep.

It gives your audience a concrete reason to use your link rather than finding me on their own three weeks later.

Logistics

Registration and follow-up

I'll send you a list of those who registered and those who showed up, within 24 hours of the class completion.

About me

Michelle Sera

Michelle Sera has spent twenty years doing this work for a living. Marketing Director at a $14 million coaching brand. Senior copywriter for companies and entrepreneurs scaling into eight and nine figures, including launches past $1.4 million. Coach to 2,192 solo business owners and counting.

In 2020 she left the coaching company she'd helped build, worn out by watching people try hard at a business with no support for the hardest parts. She started ElevatedMind® to teach the marketing and techniques for mind management when building solo.

She's a certified Happiness Coach trained in Dr. Steve Peters' mind-management work, because self-doubt and decision fatigue stall a solo business owner more reliably than any marketing problem ever does.

She runs the Solo Business Classroom, hosts The Solo Coach Podcast, and wrote The 7-Minute Shift. She teaches the way she'd want to be taught: with a ton of patience and willingness to answer any question.
