EPISODE 198 SHOW NOTES: Starting a Course Creator Online Business
Hey there! Today I am sharing my story with you about how I went from teacher to course creator. Thinkific, the software platform that I use for my course, asked me to share my story about launching an online course and I wanted to share with you as well. If you have ever thought about starting a course or are ready to dive right in, this is a great episode for you!
As most of you know I was a former teacher who desperately wanted to be home with my family. In this episode I share my story and what led me to ultimately creating a course that has helped so many women leave their jobs and work from home.
I explain how my first launch went, how I found Thinkific and why I chose them, the growth that has happened with my course over the years, the freelancers that I have hired to help me, the expenses that go in to launching and running a course, and the resources that can help you if you are ready to launch a course!
This episode is one that really shows how things have changed for me over the years and how there are so many options in the entrepreneurial world – including becoming a course creator!

How do I get started? What if I fail? Who will hire me? Is it really possible to create a consistent, full-time income from home?
Welcome to the Live Free Podcast with Micala Quinn where we will be answering these questions PLUS many more! Whether you’re just starting your freelance business (heck even if you don’t know what freelancing is yet) or you’re looking to scale, this podcast will give you tangible business advice along with inspiring interviews to help you create a life and career that works for YOU and YOUR family.
Your host, Micala Quinn, started out teaching high-school English, but when her first child was born, she immediately began searching for something more. She wanted a way to stay-at-home with her daughter (and future babies), but still needed to bring in a full-time income to help support her family. Micala started freelancing, quickly replaced her full-time income, and now helps other moms (like you) get started and grow their freelance business from scratch to 5K and beyond! She believes that being a working mom or a stay-at-home mom no longer needs to be a black and white decision. You CAN have both. On your terms!
