Browse through the most frequently asked questions:
What kind of clients do you work with? Am I a good fit?
Authentic Presence works with established teachers and leaders in the fields of psychotherapy, spirituality, health, business leadership and coaching and other conscious domains. In our profit-sharing business model, your success is our success, so we need to believe your online courses have a strong chance of filling before we’ll work with you.
In general, our clients:
- Have an existing, active email list of a minimum 10,000 contacts
- Have an open rate of 18% or more on the emails they send to that list
- Already offer successful in-person workshops, trainings, or courses
- Are recognized and credentialed as experts in their field

How much will this cost me?
At Authentic Presence, we charge an upfront fee to begin the launch process. This includes comprehensive strategy development and our commitment to understanding your tribe and product creation. The upfront cost allows us to invest our time and expertise into your course while allowing you to primarily focus on content development.
Secondly, in our partnership model, we borrow from the publishing industry to handle sharing profits once a course is launched. But instead of the expert getting a small fraction of the revenues, we flip that model and provide you with the majority of the profits. On our end, you know that you have a committed partner that shares the risk with you.
Initial fees vary depending on what type of projects and services we agree to. After our initial conversations, we’ll offer you a specific menu of choices, from basic consulting to a full, holistic digital partner experience, and let you pick what best suits your needs.
Because of economies of scale, we guarantee that working with Authentic Presence is more affordable than accessing the same talent, resources, and services on your own. Because AP works with multiple teachers, we are able to pass on savings to you on all of the software and technical support subscriptions we use to provide our high-quality customer experiences. This includes the cost of web hosting, email automation, membership platforms, customer service, and Zoom webinars.
It’s like the best of having your own marketing department and publisher: You get to build your reputation and tribe, grow your revenue, and reach an international audience—all at a fraction of what it would cost to hire your own expert team.
What's my return?
With our experience of creating and launching over 100 courses and enrolling over 75,000 students in the past six years, we bring a wealth of experience and savvy to all aspects of course development and marketing, so you get results-oriented programs without the management of multiple resources. Many of our clients have grown their email lists by an order of magnitude or more and generated revenues in the six-figures for individual course launches.
What does a partnership typically look like?
The Authentic Presence team has developed a unique, world-class, nine-step process to bring your teachings to the world.

- Creating a customized online membership delivery portal for your course
- Designing an effective promotional schedule for your course that we’ll run within 6 months of filming

- Managing affiliate relationships for promotion and cross-promotion of your course
Why should I create online products and courses?
Even before the COVID-19 quarantine forced nearly all businesses online, online products and courses were a smart idea. Reaching more students online is one of the best ways to share your content and grow your business — with less stress, travel, and burnout. Experts widely agree that distance-learning is the future of education, for reasons ranging from its accessibility to students to its cost-effectiveness to its benefit to the teachers.
And now, as our recent experience with the COVID-19 pandemic has illustrated, online offerings can provide an important way to diversify your income that isn’t affected by travel disruptions. We expect the coronavirus-related travel and gathering impacts to continue for many months to come, so it’s never been a better time to invest in high-quality digital products that can stand out in the marketplace and deliver returns over time.
The world needs what you're teaching. We'll help you reach the people who need it most—ethically, sustainably, and profitably.
