Start here: your roadmap

New to all this, or not sure where to begin? This is the map. Follow it in order, or jump to the goal you care about most — every step links straight to the lesson that covers it.

The Academy is eight free programs, a library of guides, a set of plain-English topics, and a glossary. It can look like a lot, so this page exists to give you a clear order and a starting point no matter where you are.

You do not need to read everything before you begin. Start with the fundamentals, take action, and come back for the next piece when you need it. The whole thing is free, with no sign-up wall.

Brand new? Do these four, in order

If you have not launched yet, this is the shortest path from zero to a real, earning page:

  1. Foundations — set up a professional profile and your first tiers.
  2. Get verified — clear the gate to getting paid before you promote.
  3. Set your pricing — pick a model and a price you will not resent (deep dive: Pricing Your Tiers).
  4. The First 30 Days — a calm, week-by-week launch plan that ties it all together.

Before you promote anywhere, spend one hour on Scams & red flags and Safety, Privacy & Boundaries. It is the most valuable hour a new creator can spend.

The full path: sixteen programs, three levels

Each program stands on its own, but the curriculum is organised by skill level so you always know what is next. Work your level, then move up — or jump straight to all 16 programs.

Beginner — set up, get safe, earn your first dollars:

  1. Foundations — profile, tiers, first pricing.
  2. Platform Setup & Verification — account, verification, payouts.
  3. Content Creation Basics — shooting, light, formats, batching.
  4. Safety, Privacy & Boundaries — identity, leaks, boundaries.
  5. Brand & Presence — your angle, persona, positioning.

Intermediate — grow, price, sell, retain:

  1. Content Strategy — what converts, batching, a calendar.
  2. Growth & Promotion — the funnel, discovery, cross-promotion.
  3. Monetization — pricing, PPV, bundles, tips.
  4. Retention & Community — welcome flows, rituals, win-back.
  5. Messaging, DMs & Sales — turn conversations into income.

Advanced — optimize, scale, diversify, last:

  1. Analytics & Optimization — read your numbers, improve.
  2. Advanced Growth & Paid Marketing — paid promo, SEO, agencies.
  3. Scaling & Systems — SOPs, automation, hiring safely.
  4. Business, Money & Taxes — records, taxes, reinvesting.
  5. Diversification & Multi-Platform — spread your risk.
