In this episode of Chill the Champagne, I’m diving deep into one of my most powerful offers: the Six Week Intensive. You’ll get the full behind-the-scenes on what it is, who it’s for, and why it works so well for online entrepreneurs who are ready to stop spinning and start implementing.

Unlike my self-paced courses or even the group coaching support in Prep School, the Six Week Intensive is high-touch, fast-moving, and entirely focused on your business goals. Whether you're building your first mini course, launching a membership, setting up ads, or mapping out your entire offer suite — this container is built to help you get it done, with me by your side.

🛠 Inside this episode, I break down:

• What makes the Six Week Intensive different from my other programs

• The kinds of projects we tackle together in just six weeks

• How my clients go from idea to implementation — fast

• Why building payment pathways like mini courses and memberships lets you take time off while still making money

• How this ties into my Five Days of Deals summer sale — your chance to join now

If you're craving clarity, focus, and results (not more fluff), this episode is for you. Let's set up the systems and strategies that bring in income — so you can actually enjoy your summer and prep for a stress-free holiday season.

This episode is a behind-the-scenes look at a very real (and dreamy) Tuesday in my online business. From a cozy two-hour nap after school drop-off to making $400 by noon, I’m walking you through what life looks like when your business has real payment pathways built in. No launches. No live calls. Just systems doing the work — even while I’m at HomeGoods or volunteering at my daughter's school.

I’m also pulling back the curtain on what real passive income means (hint: it’s not selling some resale rights course you didn’t make). We’re talking true sustainability — how you can set up income systems that work for you in your sleep. Literally.

And if you're curious about how AI can help speed things up, I'm a speaker at the AI Unlocked Summit with Gemma Bonham-Carter, where I’ll be showing how to build a mini course with AI. You can still grab your free ticket here:

In this episode of Chill the Champagne, I’m getting real about something I see all too often — mini courses that aren’t selling… and it’s not because of the course itself. It’s the sales page. If no one ever sees the inside of your course, it’s because your sales page didn’t do its job — and today, I’m breaking down exactly how to fix that.

I’m sharing three key strategies to start converting more sales:

1. Price your mini course under $100 when selling to a cold audience — make it an easy “yes.”

2. Build a proper sales page — not a link-filled website. It needs to guide your reader and make the transformation obvious.

3. Keep the design clean and clear — big bold headers, short readable paragraphs, one single place to click (your checkout!).

I also talk about why you should lead with your best on the sales page — because when your course truly delivers (and I know it does), that’s what turns customers into superfans.

Plus, I give a little behind-the-scenes look at what’s happening in my world — like my class in the AI Unlocked 2025 Summit, the surprise six-week coaching intensive I launched on a whim, and a brand new (super creative!) project that’s lighting me up right now — even if no one knows about it yet. Not even my inner circle.

This episode is your permission slip to stop gripping your business so tightly and let some magic in. If you’re feeling stuck, maybe it’s time to shift gears and follow the spark.

Oh — and if you’d love a free live workshop on creating a high-converting sales page, message me on Instagram (@theangiestarr) and let me know!

 

This week’s episode is a special one — I’m joined by my 13-year-old daughter, Stella! 💗

Stella just went through a super intense audition process for a competitive performing arts high school, and we’re breaking it all down.

From prepping monologues and mock interviews to facing a 20% acceptance rate, Stella took complete ownership of the process — and it reminded me of how much we, as adults, can learn from this kind of boldness.

We chat about:

• What it’s like to attend a middle school of the arts (yes, they have “majors” like acting!)

• The real mindset shifts that helped her prep and stay grounded through rejection risk

• Why surrounding yourself with community + coaching is a total game-changer (even for teens!)

• How this all ties back to business, bravery, and going after your big goals — even when it’s scary

If you’ve been waiting for the "perfect" moment to launch something, hire a coach, or try something new… let this episode inspire you to just go for it.

Rejection is redirection. Courage is a skill. And the kids? They might just be leading the way. 💫

sorry the audio is a little weird, I need a new phone ha!   In this episode, I candidly share the development and launch process of my new low-ticket membership, Content Club.   I explain the inspiration behind it, the integrated AI marketing agents, and the various resources and community features we offer. I discuss my initial plans for a similar low-ticket program, Prep School, and how it evolved into a higher-touch program.   I elaborate on the practical challenges and adjustments faced while creating Content Club and highlight how my friend Allie contributes to its success.   I also reflect on the business decisions, testing tactics, and future plans for automating and scaling the membership.   00:00 Introduction to the Content Club 01:20 The Evolution of Prep School 04:32 The Birth of a New Idea 08:59 Launching the Content Club 11:45 Future Plans and Reflections 13:56 Embracing Flexibility in Business 16:57 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

I just got my bookkeeping back, and whoa—turns out I made an extra $100K in profit last year… and most of it came in the last quarter.

Honestly? I was a little shocked. But I know exactly what made it happen.

In this episode, I’m spilling all the details on how I layered paid ads, emails, and social content without drowning in content creation or turning into a full-time marketer.

If you’ve ever felt like content is too much work, or that you’re just not “good” at social media—this one’s for you.

I’m diving into:

• How paid ads are the lifeblood of my business (even when they "don’t work")

• What I was doing wrong with my email list for years

• How I completely shifted my strategy and started making money from almost every email I send

• Why social media is the front door, but your email list is where the real magic happens

• The low-effort system I use to get 3 emails + 3 social posts created in minutes using AI

• How I semi-outsource (hint: I’m not spending $5k/month on a team—and you don’t have to either)

I also give you a sneak peek at something I’ve been building behind the scenes… 🎉

It’s called The Content Club, and it’s launching April 1st.

Inside, I’m handing over my exact system—the one that helped me finally stay consistent on social and in my inbox (without doing all the work myself). Think: ✅ AI prompts that actually sound like you ✅ Faceless reels, pre-written captions, and swipeable content ✅ My plug-and-play marketing calendar ✅ How to outsource just enough to stay visible without burning out

And if you’re listening to this podcast? I’m dropping an early access link just for you.

If I could go back in time and change just one thing about my online business journey, it would be understanding this simple truth: Online business is just a numbers game. In this episode, I break down why success isn’t magic—it’s math. From traffic and conversions to refining your messaging and scaling strategically, I’m sharing the biggest lesson that took me from an $8K year to a $362K year.

Whether you’re just starting out or scaling your business, this episode will help you shift your mindset, track the right numbers, and create a business that works for you. Let’s take the guesswork out of online success!

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why online business is ALL about numbers, not luck ✅ The two key things that determine success: messaging & traffic ✅ How I grew my business revenue year after year ✅ The power of tracking traffic, conversion rates, and upsells ✅ Paid vs. organic traffic – which one works best? ✅ Creative ways to get more eyes on your business

In this episode, I’m sharing my journey from being a photographer to building a thriving online course business. One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned? Working fast is the key to success. While I struggle with ADHD and sometimes my brain moves faster than my fingers can type, I’ve come to realize that this fast-paced way of thinking has been a huge advantage in the online business world.

When I created my first mini course, I spent months perfecting it, thinking it would be the one course that changed everything. It didn’t take off the way I had hoped, but I didn’t let that stop me. I took what I learned and launched Photography Business Boot Camp—but this time, instead of months, I built it in just a few weeks. And when my sales page wasn’t converting the way I wanted, I got feedback from a coach and had a brand-new page up and running within a day. That’s when I realized: working fast isn’t about rushing—it’s about testing, learning, and adjusting quickly.

I see this same quality in my entrepreneur friends, like Megan, who quickly implements ideas without second-guessing herself. We were brainstorming ways to boost her membership, and within hours, she had announced a contest, set up Instagram stories, and put her plan into action. That’s the kind of speed that leads to success!

I recently had another lightning-bolt idea for a new membership and immediately reached out to my friend Allie, who I knew would be the perfect person to run it. Within weeks, we mapped everything out, set a launch date, and even finalized the branding. Instead of overthinking, we took action. That’s what moves the needle in business.

The truth is, nothing I’ve ever launched has stayed exactly the same as it was on day one. Every offer evolves as I get feedback and make improvements. If I had waited until everything was perfect, I would have failed slowly instead of learning fast. That’s why I encourage you to work fast, test things out, pivot quickly, and trust yourself.

So here’s your permission to take action today. Don’t let fear hold you back—because success is inevitable when you keep moving forward.

Today on Chill the Champagne, we’re diving into a game-changing marketing hack that can help you sell more—without reading every marketing book on the planet. If you’ve ever felt stuck trying to market your online course, membership, or offer, this episode is for you.

Here’s the reality: we’re not just course creators or entrepreneurs—we’re all marketers. No matter what you sell, marketing comes first. So if you’ve poured your heart into creating something amazing, but it’s just sitting there collecting dust, it’s time to change that.

In this episode, I share my #1 place to learn marketing fast—and it might surprise you. It’s YouTube! But not in the way you think. Instead of watching marketing tutorials, I study video titles and thumbnails from the best YouTubers out there. These creators are masters at grabbing attention because they’re competing for free views in a crowded space. Their headlines and hooks are goldmines of marketing wisdom that you can apply to your own business.

I break down exactly how to use this strategy to sharpen your marketing edge. Whether you’re looking at content in your niche or completely unrelated industries (like dieting or finance), you can tweak those high-performing hooks to create powerful headlines, email subject lines, social media posts, and sales page copy.

Marketing isn’t just about running ads—it’s about positioning and visibility. And once you start studying these winning YouTube strategies, you’ll begin to see a difference in how people engage with your offers.

So, here’s your homework: spend 10 minutes a day on YouTube, scan the top-performing videos in any niche, and take note of their titles. You’ll start to recognize patterns and learn what makes people click—so you can apply it to your own business.

, I want to talk about what it means to have something in your business that’s low lift. This actually came up in my membership, Prep School, when someone asked about podcasting. And I told her—for me—podcasting is such a low-lift activity with a great return. But then she asked, “Well, what does low lift even mean?”

So here’s my take. Low lift means I can do it easily, without a ton of setup or effort, and it still pays off big time. For example, my podcast? I literally speak into my phone for 10-15 minutes, sometimes with a planned topic—like launching a program or pushing people into Prep School or an ads course—but other times, I just talk about whatever’s on my mind or what people keep asking me. There’s no fancy setup. Sometimes I record in my car, sometimes in my office, and yes, sometimes even from my bed.

Once I’ve recorded, I drop the file into Descript. I love Descript because I can use Studio Sound to clean up the audio and remove all my "ums" with just one button. Then, I quickly add my intro and outro, and upload it to Libsyn, which is super easy—just drag, drop, type a short summary (or use AI for that), add links, and hit publish. From there, my assistant or I create an email, social media posts, and an audiogram to share.

It might sound like a lot, but really? The whole process takes 45 minutes tops. And that’s why it’s a low-lift activity in my business—minimal effort, consistent impact.

Another example of a low-lift product? Workshops. I’ve been running workshops since day one, and while I’m known for mini courses, workshops are a simple way to deliver value with minimal ongoing effort. You create them once, they live on your website, in your emails, on social media—constantly working for you. And with AI, it’s even faster. I can map out a workshop in minutes, make the slides, record, and upload it. Done.

Low-lift strategies like this keep me moving fast, and that’s been key to my success. So if you’re overcomplicating things—thinking you need a podcast studio or a 3-hour live workshop with 1,000 people—stop. Keep it simple. The goal is to create things that don’t drain your time but still bring results.

Oh! One last thing—I’ve started a private podcast inside Prep School. It’s raw, unedited, and straight from my phone—because again, low lift! Members can ask me business questions, and I’ll respond with a voice note-style podcast. No intro, no outro, just straight answers.

So, if you’re looking for ways to simplify your business while still growing, think about what you can make low lift. Trust me—it pays off.
