Meet Your Instructor
Hello! I'm Liz and I'm an author, teacher, and online course creator. In 2018, I started creating online courses with one follower (probably a scam account) and three years later over 200,000 people have watched my library of 50+ classes. I can't wait to teach you how to make passive income through course creation!
What Alumni Are Saying
Jennifer Sakarian of Belair Fresh Prints
"I have learned so much through Liz's class. I have been working with Skillshare as a former academic instructor and there was alot of learning curves. Liz's class helped to break it all down so it was more approachable and realistic. She really helps set a gentle and nurturing but realist tone throughout the entirity of the course. Thank you Liz for an incredible experience."
Chloe of @MagicofFlorals
"I really enjoyed this course, Liz shared great detail and useful examples throughout which really helped me with the practicalities of launching my first Skillshare course!"

"Liz does an amazing job of stepping you through all the basics of course creation... from the initial planning phase to filming, editing, publishing, and even marketing your course. This class is perfect for beginners, but even the seasoned educator can learn new tips on how to improve their courses and grow their reach!"
Aagje of Van Doeke
"Really recommended. I have learned a lot. I could not have discovered all this myself."
Can YOU Really Become a Successful Course Creator?
You may be thinking, “I could never become an online course creator because:
-I’m not an expert in my field”
-I don’t have any fancy film equipment”
-I don’t have a following”
If you’re like me three years ago, you could make a mile long list with reasons like these! I want you to know that I started teaching online as a beginner in my field with no film equipment and 1 follower!
Three years later I have had over 170,000 students watch my library of 50+ classes and make an online income that would make my past self working in a desk job cry.
The thing about teaching online is that 1) you get better with time and slowly become an expert in your field, 2) you can literally film classes using only your phone, and 3) if you make great classes people will find you and tell their friends
Your inner critic thinks you can't do it.
I know there is a deeply ingrained part of you that believes you can't become a successful course creator, but let me set him/her straight: course creation is a job, and like most jobs, anyone can learn to do it with the right tools and support.

"If over delivering were a thing, Liz would be guilty. Liz provides everything…and I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G you need to plan, organize, record, edit, troubleshoot, and market your course! I HIGHLY recommend this course if you have a class inside you just waiting to come out!"
Larissa Yeung Fung | See Her Classes
"I'm so glad I took Liz's Course Creators course because at the time I was stuck in the process of producing my first online class. Liz took me through her seamless process of creating online classes while helping address any obstacles along the way. After taking this course I was able to publish my first class on Skillshare with confidence. One of the best features of this course is the monthly zoom calls where we get together to discuss issues and challenges and also offer mutual support. I always learned a lot from the conversations."
