The Level

In This Issue: We are halfway through our six-month journey from $12K MRR (monthly recurring revenue) to $50K MRR with Amanda Goetz and Level Up Creators. Here's what it will take for her biz to level up, and how yours can too. Take a look inside.👇

Hi Reader,

Where do you start when you want to grow your creator business?

Right here.

We are on the journey from $12K MRR to $50K MRR with Amanda Goetz (pronounced “gets”).
​
And three months in...

​

One year ago, Amanda left her 9-5 corporate job for her solopreneur journey. She hit $12K in monthly recurring revenue (MRR) in just six months. But then, she hit a ceiling—a scaling ceiling.

At this point, creators need more than elbow grease and enthusiasm.

Enter the Amanda + Amanda partnership.

Amanda Geotz needed strategic insight to help her build a sustainable, recurring revenue business.

So we’re sharing it all in public so you can build yours too.

Two Biz Lessons

Let’s be real—the first three months of refining and redefining a business are intense.
​
We dove deep into every corner of Amanda’s business to be sure she was building the right things for the right people in the right order.

• We needed to prioritize. Using a Notion board to keep everything organized, we prioritized tasks based on impact and urgency, and worked on the most important things first.
• We focused on getting the most out of what she already had (instead of jumping straight to new launches). This meant tweaking funnels, refining her messaging, and ensuring every product had a clear path for upsells and cross-sells.

Your Turn​
To scale your own creator business, here are four actionable steps you can start today:

1. Break Down Your Big Goals: ​
   ​
   Example: Say your goal is to launch a new course. Instead of trying to do everything at once, break it down. Start with researching what your audience wants, then create a waitlist page to gauge interest. After that, you can move on to content creation, marketing, and finally, the launch.
   ​
   This step-by-step approach keeps you from getting overwhelmed AND helps you build in low-risk iterations, rather than building a product in the dark, potentially only to find no one wants it.
   ​
2. Optimize Before You Expand: ​
   ​
   Example: Before launching something new, what do you already have? How can you make it better? If you have a course that’s selling okay, consider adding a live Q&A session or office hours to increase its value and appeal.
   ​
3. Use Project Management Tools to Stay on Track: ​
   ​
   Example: I can’t stress enough how much our Notion board has helped keep things organized. But you don’t need to start with something complex—Trello or even a simple Google Sheet will work wonders.
   ​
   The key is to list out your tasks, set deadlines, and prioritize what’s going to move the needle the most.
   ​
4. Create Recurring Revenue from the Start: ​
   ​
   Example: Consider hosting your course on a membership platform. Instead of just offering a one-time purchase, offer an annual-only membership option (for the price you were going to charge for the course).
   ​
   And members get access to the course plus ongoing support, exclusive content, or a community forum. This keeps your audience engaged and brings in steady income.
