A partnership invitation with Michelle Sera, founder of ElevatedMind® and creator of The Binge-Able Business™

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

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 live class for them.

You don't have to prepare anything. I bring the class, the materials, and the promo copy.

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 Binge-Able Content™ Workshop

They binge before they buy. This is the content that makes them want to.

In this working session you'll find the question your people are actually asking, turn it five ways, and run it through five formats. You'll leave knowing exactly what your next 25 pieces of content are, from one question and with a method that turns your next four questions into 125.

Best for people who've been publishing consistently and are starting to think content doesn't work for them.

Get Recommended by AI

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 they need to take for their own business.

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

Let Them Ask You

The conversation that ends with someone asking how to work with you.

They leave with their own diagnostic questions, the language for reflecting back, and a way to answer "so what do you do?" that opens a conversation instead of closing one.

Best for coaches and consultants who are excellent at the work and lose people in the conversation before it.

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.

Two emails after the class, in the two weeks that follow. I'll send you the copy and the recommended timing, but you're free to write your own.

The follow-ups matter more than turnout. Most people don't decide during a class. They decide four days later when something reminds them.

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.

Paid monthly by PayPal. Once a payment clears its 30-day refund window, it's included in the next monthly payout. Recurring commissions from earlier referrals arrive in the same payment for as long as those members stay.

Your referrals are protected. If I ever change or close the affiliate program, anyone you've already referred keeps earning you commission for the full 12 months on the terms that were in place when they joined.

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.

To be clear, this isn't a typical affiliate offer. Here's what's in it for you:

  • A high-value 60-minute marketing training delivered live to your community
  • 30% commission on every membership payment, for up to 12 months
  • Full access to the Solo Business Classroom and every class for 90 days, on me
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 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

You share my free resource with your audience, I share yours with mine. One send each, on dates we agree.

Mine is The Binge-Able Business Recipe. Eight questions, a few minutes, and someone walks away with a plan for making their content something people move through in one sitting instead of sampling and forgetting.

Try it out for yourself here.

Send me yours and I'll tell you honestly whether it's a fit for my people. If it isn't, I'll say so rather than send something my audience won't use.

Good if you want to test working together before either of us commits to a class.

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.

What your audience would receive

The Binge-Able Content™ Workshop

They binge before they buy.

You've been posting. Nothing much seems to happen. So you slow down, or stop, and decide content isn't your thing.

Here's what's actually going on. When someone comes across you and something catches, they don't reach out. They go looking. They read three or four more posts, listen to a couple of episodes, watch a video, and work out whether you're relevant, credible, and the person they need. By the time they contact you, the decision is largely made.

You can't see any of it. Nobody tells you they read six posts before they decided. Which is exactly why you can be putting a lot out and feel like nothing's working.

In this working session you'll find the question your people are actually asking, turn it five ways, and run it through five formats. You'll leave knowing exactly what your next 25 pieces of content are, from one question, and with a method that turns your next four questions into 125.

Bring something to write with. You'll be working, not watching.
