Are you STRUGGLING to get your course online and your Thinkific site set up PROPERLY?
Getting your first course online is ANYTHING but easy.
In fact, it can be downright CONFUSING and OVERWHELMING!

☹️ You want to stop “preparing” and actually get your first course up and running
☹️ You’ve tried EVERYTHING the “gurus” have told you to do but you still feel defeated
☹️ Just when you think you’ve got it done you realize there is more to know and do
☹️ You know that now is the time, but you’re feeling stuck and overwhelmed trying to make sense of tech systems – from to LMS to funnels to forms, and identifying what you actually need and what you don’t
☹️ There are so many distractions with life and business and you’re worried that at this rate you’ll NEVER get your course launched
☹️ You’re ready for REAL help. You don’t want to give up altogether but it’s looking like NOTHING will work. You’re tired of wasting time, money, and energy on trying to do this yourself
But do you know what happens when you FINALLY get your first course online?
🙂 You wake up every morning EXCITED to check your emails because you’ve had overnight enrollments
🙂 MONEY gets deposited into your bank account, proving to you that this IS a viable way to make a living (or some extra $$)

We KNOW that
the BrainyGirlU Thinkific Bootcamp
will be your best investment
this year.
Our graduates agree.
It’s hard to exaggerate the quality and impact of Kim’s Thinkific Bootcamp. Although I had some experience with Thinkific I learned so so much in Bootcamp. Kim’s knowledge and experience were displayed every…single…day.
I feel much more confident in launching my Thinkific academy. If anyone is thinking of creating a Thinkific school without doing Kim’s Bootcamp – please think again.
Kim Garnett’s knowledge and expertise was instrumental in the creation and launch of my online programs on Thinkific.
I was brand new to the platform and to creating online courses and after working through Kim’s Course, I am more confident, clear and prepared.
Kim is an excellent teacher with her ability to take complicated processes and break them down into small, clear cut steps.
I highly recommend Kim as a teacher, mentor, and coach for anyone seeking support for online course creation.
When I built our first class online on Thinkific, we hired Kim to assist us through a series of 1:1 calls. Her help was instrumental in getting our course done and launched quickly. As we went to create another course, I turned to BrainyGirlU Thinkific Bootcamp to refresh me on all the steps I needed to take.
WHAT I THOUGHT…was that since I had prior coaching from Kim, I knew all her inside tips and hacks so an online course would be all I need.
WHAT I FOUND OUT…was that Bootcamp includes the drilled down, no fluff, detailed step-by-step process that Kim used on our private 1:1, including all the tips and hacks! She has included everything a course creator needs to get their Thinkific course launched.
AND AS A BONUS…I got to watch Kim drill down expertise that she originally delivered live into a seriously effective online course which is a great inspiration as we continue to work to do the same.
If you want to build a course on Thinkific, you have to do Bootcamp!
P.S. Trust her when she says don’t jump ahead. Follow her steps exactly in order for the quickest path to course launch.

I have found your program EXTREMELY helpful. So far I am unimpressed by what I have seen available elsewhere and nothing that compared your courses. I have my course, I know my niche, I have 6 more planned!
Hi, I’m Kim, better known as Brainy Girl.
You get notifications as I publish new Youtube videos or email blasts and think to yourself, “How does she have time to do all of that?? I barely get time for a shower in the morning!”.
Believe me, friend, everyone has a story…and here’s mine.
In a nutshell, I moved out at a very young age and had to figure out how to do it on my own. No backup plan. No support. I took the hard road, put myself in some crazy situations, but managed to come out of those teen/young adult years alive. Whew!
I became a single mom at 27 (with a 9 month old baby) and gotvery responsible really quickly. I had dabbled in self-employment before then, but only as side hustles. I did not want to go back to working for someone else and knew that it was now or never.
I taught myself how to build websites, back when you had to code them with HTML, and figured out quickly that technology and marketing was my jam! I took on clients and dove head-first into self-employment and became my own boss.
Fast forward to 2015 – my son was now fourteen years old and I was still raising him single handedly (seriously – who has time to date as a single mom and business owner??) but I was at capacity. I was getting question after question from other women wanting to know how to start and run a successful business, and I couldn’t keep answering them one by one. That’s when I discovered online courses.
My first online course was actually a membership I created to teach women how to start and run their own virtual assistant business, and it was a huge success… well, once I got past the initial mistakes! While doing that I had multiple clients approach me to ask if I could help them get their knowledge online and, being a true entrepreneur, I began seeing the opportunities before me.
Having my own online courses, and assisting clients with theirs, gave me new revenue streams, allowed me to reach a much larger audience and help more people build their own successful online businesses with online courses, training programs, workshops, and memberships.
Today I have multiple revenue streams – client projects, online courses, affiliate marketing, etc. I’ve had thousands of students go through my programs and participate in my memberships. I have loyal, happy clients. I feel accomplished.
This industry (online courses) has grown and changed drastically since then.
People, just like you, need to understand and implement many different concepts, tactics and strategies to be successful as a course creator
AND
you don’t know what you don’t know.
I’m sure that you’ve experienced this…
You’re online searching for something like, “How do I create a course?” and suddenly it’s 4 hours later and you’ve taken a dive into SEO, funnels, marketing, learning management systems and EVERYTHING to do with running an online course business.
And that’s my point.
There’s not just ONE THING you need to understand, learn and implement.
There are many, but you have to START!
Other courses leave you thirsty.
Not the BrainyGirlU Thinkific Bootcamp!
It is literally the step-by-step instructions to getting your Thinkific site set up PROPERLY and your course online so that you can start selling it and enrolling students.
After helping over 1,000 Thinkific customers, I know what you need – and that’s exactly what I deliver in the Bootcamp.
You have questions.
We have answers.
How do I know if this course is right for me?
This course is PERFECT for you if…
- You’ve been struggling to get your course online.
- You’re frustrated with using the Thinkific platform and need step by step instructions and guidance.
- You want to be confident, when you launch, that everything is working as it should be.
- You want an expert to guide you through the setup (without the cost of working directly with an expert!)
- You’re committed to launching your course within the next 6 months.
Do you think I can actually do this by myself?
Absolutely! In fact, we love to show off what our students have been able to accomplish with the Bootcamp on the Bootcamp Stars page. CLICK HERE to check it out.
What time/dates are the LIVE Q&A’s?
You have access to the course 24/7 online. When you enroll in Bootcamp you can join Kim for the LIVE weekly Q&A’s which happen on Tuesdays at 9am PDT/PST. Just add your city here to view in your time zone.
If you can’t join live, you can submit your questions for the live Q&A’s ahead of time and Kim will answer them on the live streams. You can always catch the replays if you can’t attend live.
How much time do I have to commit?
The question you SHOULD be asking yourself is, “How much time am I willing to devote to growing a profitable, sustainable, online education business?”
You can devote as much, or as little, time as you can. You have access to the course for 1 year from the enrollment date.
Do I get 1:1 help?
The short answer is no… but pretty damn close!
When you enroll in Bootcamp you get to join Kim LIVE for the weekly group Q&A calls to get your questions answered, help you get unstuck, and keep you moving forward.
And, if you need 1:1 help you can always book a 1:1 call with Kim.
What is the cost? Can I get a refund if it’s not for me?
The investment in yourself and your business is $397 USD for one year access to the course + 50 weeks of live Q&A’s with Kim!
We do not offer refunds (as you have access to a boat load of content immediately!) however if you’re still unsure if Bootcamp is right for you then we encourage you to check out the BrainyGirlU Thinkific Bootcamp PREVIEW – a selection of lessons from Bootcamp so that you can get a sense of Kim’s teaching style and the kind of content you’ll find in Bootcamp. You can access the FREE PREVIEW here.
“If you’re one of those people who has that little voice in the back of her mind saying, ‘Maybe I could do [fill in the blank],’ don’t tell it to be quiet.
Give it a little room to grow, and try to find an environment it can grow in.”
– Reese Witherspoon
I have just completed Brainygirl’s Bootcamp, and actually launched my first online course as a direct result of doing so, after having sat and watched tutorials and read Thinkific’s help pages for months with perfectionism paralysis.
Kim’s help has been invaluable, from her wisdom and expertise drawing from 20 years in the field to her knowledge and comfort with tech, to her patient manner and dedication. She was my coach, mentor, marketing adviser, copywriting adviser, course creation expert and counselor rolled into one throughout the whole process, and I honestly could not have done it without her.
Her video tutorials and instructions were all very clear, concise and follow a logical format. I felt that I was in safe hands from the get-go, and trusted her processes completely as she explains the ‘why’ behind everything we do.
I highly recommend the Bootcamp and Kim herself, and feel it was the best investment I have made in myself, as it gave me transferrable skills that I can apply to any business, not just course creation.
I think the best part is that Kim is “real” and not just hype trying to get us to make the next purchase.
Best course I have taken!
I learned everything I need to launch an online course which I couldn’t have done as gracefully without Kim’s knowledge and patient guidance. Added bonus – I have even more tech skills in my pocket than I did going in!
The Bootcamp exceeded my expectations. The best part was the detail oriented explanations for each step. Excellent offering!
I love hearing about how other course creators are working their business, I know I can get my questions answered about things I’m working on and best of all, Kim holds me accountable. There have been several times when I’ve joined the group with that “I don’t feel like working today” mentality, and Kim has prodded me to accomplish specific tasks….saving me from an unproductive day.
My business feels more legit, I am motivated to expand my offerings and now I know where to go to get help when I need it.
Motivation + Support = Success!
