01 · THE SITUATIONIdeas everywhere, and none of them solid enough to build on.
Rebekah has been in Demi's world for years. She literally bought all 9 of Demi's courses. She knew she wanted to teach online, but like a lot of multi-passionate creators, she couldn't land on one clear direction. Productivity? Project management? Faith-based business? She had ideas everywhere. Back in 2022, inside Demi's School for Online Coaches, her course idea was productivity for young hustlers. A few years later, it was something else again.
She had already published a course for Christians in business, but it was really a practice run to learn how course creation works. It was mostly general digital marketing with no clear position, so it never really got marketed. She had even paid for other coaching to sort it out, and it still didn't stick.
- She wasn't sure what to teach, or how to position it.
- She was scared of attracting the wrong crowd, like beginners and freebie-seekers.
- There was no budget for ads.
- She only had a few success stories so far, so her confidence had taken a hit.
A classic Alchemist: real skills and real people around her, but no offer they could clearly say yes to.
02 · WHAT WE BUILTClarity first, then sell before you build.
This was a coaching engagement. Rebekah wrote her own sales page and posts as assignments, and we coached her through every draft. The first rule we set: you don't need 50 lessons, ads or a complicated funnel. You need one clear transformation and a way to test it.
Finding the niche
Two preliminary calls to dig into what she had already done well. We landed on one person: Christian VAs who want their first client. She had already helped people do exactly that, so she had real stories to tell.
The value ladder
Free content on becoming a Christian VA, then a low-ticket 3-day live workshop, with a mid-tier and a signature offer to come, all leading to a community of Christian entrepreneurs, and one day a recurring membership with alumni access.
The sales page
She drafted it herself as an assignment, gathered testimonials from people she had already helped, and we edited it with her. The page went up before a single lesson was built.
Two weeks of value posts
Posts and stories on Instagram, Threads and Facebook that built anticipation first, then a launch push from 10 to 14 March inviting people to the live class. No ads.
The workshop + check-ins
Day 1 was teaching and assignments, Day 2 was self-paced implementation, and Day 3 was live check-ins and audits. VIP calls on 20 March and 16 April reviewed what worked and planned what comes next.
03 · WHAT HAPPENEDPeople bought before the course existed.
Nine people bought before the full course even existed, with no ads, just a simple sales page and two weeks of value posts. She finally had a direction that stuck: no more analysis paralysis, and no more wondering if her idea was "too different".
And because the workshop was live, it played straight to her strength. Rebekah is at her best teaching people in real time.
Well, all of the things I know now, I learned from you.

If you're building before you've sold, you might be an Alchemist.
You don't need the whole course to start selling. The Alchemist container finds the offer people already want, and sells it first.
