Create & Sell Your First Mini Course in a Weekend
Build the product that finally exists outside your head.
You’ve been thinking about creating a digital product for a while now.
An online course. A way to share what you know. Something that could help people — and maybe even make you money.
But it keeps living in your head.
You overthink the topic.
You second-guess whether it’s “good enough.”
You worry about building the wrong thing, wasting time, or never making a sale.
So nothing gets built.
This weekend changes that.
This Course Is for You If…
You know what you know could help people, but self-doubt keeps getting the last word.
You’re tired of analysis paralysis.
Tired of getting stuck in details.
Tired of feeling like digital products are for “other people” who somehow figured it out.
You don’t need another big plan.
You need a clear path to something finished.
What you need to know
The Problem Isn’t Your Ability
It’s That You’ve Never Been Shown a Simple Way Through
Most people never fail at digital products.
They just never get to the point where the product actually exists.
Not because they aren’t capable...
but because they try to do too much, too perfectly, all at once.
This course is designed to get you to your minimum viable product — fast.
Something real.
Something usable.
Something sellable.
Because once something exists outside your head, everything changes.
What a Mini Course Really Is (and Why It Works)
A mini course is intentionally small and focused.
It is designed to...
Be consumed in one sitting
Cover a single, clear outcome
Include 4–6 short lessons
Stay under 60 minutes of total content
It’s the smartest first product you can create:
Faster to build
Easier to sell
Less overwhelming to deliver
Perfect for getting your first win
Your first product doesn’t need to be big.
It needs to finally exist.
What You’ll Build This Weekend
A finished mini course with a clear transformation
An outline that actually makes sense
Scripts that keep you focused and concise
Simple resources that support learning (without overbuilding)
A clear way to deliver your course immediately
A plan — and template — to get your first sale
Guidance on how to leverage that first sale into confidence, clarity, and momentum
Not someday.
Not “after I tweak a few things.”
This weekend.
What’s Included
Identify the right idea for a mini course (without spiraling)
Outline your course so it’s easy to teach and easy to finish
Write simple, effective lesson scripts
Create supportive resources quickly (no perfectionism)
Deliver your course using a clean, simple setup
Reach out to people in your network confidently to make your first sale
Leverage that first sale so it actually moves you forward
What This Course Does Not Cover (On Purpose)
Course hosting platforms
Ads or scaling strategies
Email marketing systems
Evergreen funnels
Complex tech setups
Formal sales pages
All of that stuff is what's keeping you from actually having something to sell.
Those details come later.
Right now, the goal is momentum — not mastery.
Something shifts
What Happens After Your First Sell?
You stop wondering if you can do this.
You start thinking about what’s next.
And if you decide you want to:
Build a full signature course
Market an existing course
Create a formal sales page
Set up hosting
Refine your messaging
Turn this into a scalable asset
That’s where $100K Course Creation comes in.
But first — you build something real.

About Rachel McHardy
I’m Rachel McHardy — and I’ve built over 100 online courses across dozens of industries.
But more importantly, I’ve spent the last decade studying how adults actually learn, take action, and change — especially when fear, overthinking, and self-doubt are involved.
Most people don’t struggle with digital products because they aren’t smart enough.
They struggle because they’re overwhelmed, stuck in their head, or trying to build something too big too soon.
My work is about creating momentum.
I help people turn what they know into clear, focused, sellable assets — without hype, hustle, or unnecessary complexity. I don’t believe in perfection. I believe in building something real and letting clarity come from action.
This course exists because I’ve seen the same thing over and over again:
once someone makes their first sale, everything changes.
Confidence follows proof.
Momentum replaces doubt.
This weekend isn’t about building your forever product.
It’s about building the first one — the one that finally exists outside your head.
And I’ll walk you through it, step by step.

This course is a good fit for anyone who has something to teach. You don't have to be a world renowned expert (although if you are, you are welcome here too!).

You are in good company! I can't tell you how many students and clients come to me overwhelmed with settling on an idea. I'll take you through the process of narrowing in on one specific idea!
