Your GRADUATION Story
"I came across Marissa's free EPM trainings in Oct of 2023 and I was intrigued by her program. I attended her online presentation and thought: ""This is exactly what I've been looking for"". She presented a program that would take me by the hand and walk me through the process of building my dream online course for teaching watercolor. The program also offered a huge amount of support including a variety of coaches & goals to help me get across the finish line with my own course in hand.
It's been a lot of hard & challenging work but I did it!
My 1st Experience Product Course 'ACKNOWLEDGING THE NEGATIVE: A Watercolorist's Guide To Negative Painting In 4 Weeks' is ready to start training artists to improve their skills and create more engaging art. And I have students signed up excited to get their brushes wet with color.
I've added over $2,000 to my bank account and I still have several weeks to sell seats in my course. I shouldn't call it selling because it really is not about selling my course. It's about having a course sells it's self by offering artists something that they need & want, how to create better art. Once I share this with other artists they are eager to know more and ask me how they can join. This is a win/win for me & my students.
The EPM program was exactly what I needed to make my dream of having online workshops a reality. "
Your MISSION ACCOMPLISHED Story
"While working through the EPM program my main mission was to launch my MVP and share it with other artists who were looking to advance their watercolor skills. I knew I had a viable product but the proof would be if other artists were willing to purchase it.
I had an overwhelming amount of interest and the 1st time I presented my course to a group of 12 artists 5 signed up. I have no doubt that this was due to all the hard work and dedication I put into EPM. It feels so good to know I have a product that helps artists become better at their painting skills and want the knowledge I have to offer them."
Your FIRST SALE Story
"After the first of the year I offered a free watercolor demo to everyone on my mailing list. I called it 'Cheers to 2024' I asked artists to make a drink and join me as I painted a demo of my favorite drink. I did this the previous January and everyone enjoyed it so I offered it again this year. The big difference was this year I had something to offer them, my new course built in the EPM program.
During the evening event I presented my new course & talked about the benefits of attending it. I mainly talked about how I would help them learn a fascinating technique that would help them make better art.
I offered them a discount code that was exclusively for the people attending my live event and would have a limited time for them to use it.
By the end of the night 5 people had signed up!
Proving to myself that joining EPM was a great investment in me & my art business."
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
Once I completed my course through EPM the next step was to sell it. EMP helped me rethink the whole selling thing. I learned that I wasn't selling a course about watercolor painting. I was offering a solution to a problem many watercolor artists have, creating better art. I presented my new course & talked about the benefits of attending it. I mainly talked about how I would help them learn a fascinating technique that would help them make art that engaged the viewers. By the end of my presentation I signed up 5 students. I proved to myself that I had something to offer artists and that they were willing to spend money to learn from me.
"The biggest change in my business is ME!
Having gone through the EPM training has opened me up to a new way of thinking about what I can do to help artist achieve their goals of making better art that they are proud to display. The added money that comes from my art business is my reward for helping others reach their dreams." I feel that I can grow my art business into a sustainable business. Prior to EPM I sold a few online1-day workshops that gave me a little money to spend on my art supplies. EPM gave me the groundwork to build my business into more that I thought it could be. As a retired hairdresser/salon owner I now have a new venture that has real value. Going through the EPM program really works BUT you have to do the work. It ain't easy but achieving success is all about working hard. EPM will show you how to do it bur YOU are the one who has to do the work. Most important, I will never underestimate the cost I'm charging for my course. I'm worth every dollar I ask for. I can build courses that offer the students real value in what they are purchasing. I'm already outlining my next course.
