Why Join
The Hermes Program? 

Free. Straightforward. Plus cash, connections, and credibility. 
 

This is the easiest way to earn as a freelancer or service provider — just tell your course creator clients about Maia, and when they say yes? You get paid. That’s it.

Fun fact: In Greek mythology, Hermes is the son of Maia and Zeus.
In our world? Maia is the core offer — the game-changing strategy studio.
And the Hermes Program? It’s the messenger circle that brings the right people to her doorstep. 😉

Wait — What Even Is Maia?

Maia is not another templated “scale your course” program.

It’s a premium, done-with-you strategy and execution sprint for online course creators and coaches (your clients) who are tired of duct-taping their business together.

It's not a course. It’s not an agency.

It’s a business reset for creators who are stuck — and ready to scale with real systems.

Inside a 30-day container, Maia helps your client:

• Clarify their offer so it actually converts
• Audit and optimize their funnel (landing page, emails, sales flow)
• Build a marketing strategy they can actually keep up with
• Fix their messaging, content direction, and launch plan 
• Walk away with a strategy that’s profitable, repeatable, and not built on burnout
• Whether they’ve sold 10 courses or 1,000, Maia gives them a high-level partner who can spot what’s not working — and help them fix it fast.
• And you? You don’t do any of the work.
• You just introduce them — and cash the commission.

You’re Not Competing With Maia — You’re Complementing It. 

Let’s be clear: Maia isn’t here to take your client.

I’m not offering VA services, design work, tech setup, or admin support. I sit at the strategy and marketing systems level — the part most freelancers don’t touch.

That means when your client hires Maia, they still need you.

They’ll need help implementing the plan, executing assets, managing launches, and keeping things running — because I don’t do done-for-you operations.

Even if you do marketing, we don’t compete — we collaborate.

With my years of experience in online education, digital courses, and scalable systems, I bring a strategic layer that amplifies your work, not replaces it.

Together, we can drive better results for the client — faster, smarter, and without the guesswork.

In fact, once their business becomes more profitable from our work together, they’ll be more likely to hire or retain you — not less.

You’re the execution. I’m the engineer.
We win together.
