Parker and Lindsay Bowden, and that adorable little princess, created Meet The Bowdens to help other families build a life they love.
Which is exactly what they did. How? By building an email list, creating a relationship with those people, and then selling them eBooks, courses, and coaching programs.
This all started back in 2017, when Lindsay was working as a high school math teacher. A coworker suggested she upload her resources to a website called Teachers Pay Teachers.
So Lindsay did, and almost by accident, a side hustle was born.
She continued to teach and make extra money from this site up until she found out she was pregnant in 2019. Excitement quickly turned to dread when she imagined having to drop her newborn off at daycare after six short weeks so she could return to teaching. The thought was nauseating.
So she was like, “You know what, screw it. I’m gonna do whatever it takes to grow this side hustle enough to where I can stay home for a full year.”
“I did all the things,” Lindsay writes on their About page.
“I took courses about TPT [Teachers Pay Teachers]. I poured hours into creating resources.”
“But here’s the most pivotal decision I made: I created an online course; I created an online course to help other teachers learn how to create math resources.”
“The money from that course allowed me to stay home for a year. When my daughter was born in October, I soon realized that wasn’t enough. I loved my business but I especially loved the time with my daughter.”
Lindsay needed to hit that next level if she was gonna permanently quit teaching. So she geeked out. Devoured everything she could find on making, marketing, selling, and scaling digital courses. She read books and blogs, listened to podcasts, took courses, obsessed over online marketing.
Then, in the summer of 2020, she did her first official launch of her Math Resource Academy course; which, up until that point, she’d been selling haphazardly.
Any guesses as to how that went? Try $50k in her first week. Oo-chie wally wally, oo-chie bang bang!
“Y’all, this was bananas!” Lindsay recalls. “I made more in one week than I did in a whole year of teaching.”
“I knew I had found something absolutely amazing, and wanted to share it with others.”
“As I continued to learn and grow as a business owner, I set up systems and practices that allowed me to make passive income from my course. Basically, I am making money from my online course while I sleep. Or while I’m at the playground with my toddler. Or while my family is on vacation.”
Now the Bowdens live a life of freedom. If they can do it, why not you?
They’ve got a variety or programs that’ll walk you through Lindsay’s proven path to passive income from courses.
She’ll teach you how to:
- Pick a niche.
- Make a complete online course that solves a problem in this niche.
- Live launch your online course using a really valuable piece of free content that’ll have prospects panting like a puppy in heat.
- Then analyze what went down during the live launch, make improvements and put it on autopilot.
I like that Lindsay made real money (in a wholesome niche) before getting into the guru space. She’s sweet and believable and I love her family-first approach. She’s all about the little things: going grocery shopping with her daughter, not Maybachs and mansions.
For these reasons, I would have no problem with you investing in her courses.
But remember, Lindsay was a teacher. She’s literally the perfect person to make courses.
Are you? Also, she also had this perfect little marketplace (TPT) to sell her first course to. Will you?
