The Rainmaker Archetype | The E-Creator Archetypes

T H E E - C R E A T O R A R C H E T Y P E S ™

Congratulations, you're an RAINMAKER

OVERVIEW:

You’re in the growth and system-building stage. Your course is validated, and now it’s time to turn it into a predictable, scalable business. You already know your offer sells; the focus now is on creating consistency. That means refining your launch rhythm, strengthening your marketing assets, and building systems that generate leads and sales even when you’re not actively promoting.

This stage can feel like the longest one, but it’s also the most transformative. It’s where freedom is built because once your systems are in place, you’ll never have to start from scratch again.

YOUR GOALS SHOULD BE:

Create a repeatable, sustainable launch schedule
Grow and nurture your audience between launches
Build automated marketing assets that keep sales coming in

So that begs the question, "How do I accomplish these goals?"

Confirm Your Archetype

Before you move forward, let’s double-check if Rainmaker truly fits you. This quick scoring matrix helps you confirm where you are in the journey whether you’re still laying the foundation or already moving toward the next stage. Go through each statement honestly and rate how much it feels true for you. That way, you’ll know exactly what to focus on next instead of guessing or jumping ahead too soon.

Possible Problems at this Stage

Same Audience, Stale Results

You’re launching to the same people over and over, so sales start dropping. You need fresh leads and new eyeballs between launches.

No System for Consistent Sales

Revenue stops the moment your launch ends. Without an “always-on” sales pathway, income stays unpredictable.

Marketing Chaos & Burnout

You jump between new tactics, post inconsistently, and feel launch fatigue both you and your audience are tired.

No Feedback or Course Growth

You focus on promotion but neglect refining your course or collecting student feedback, so word of mouth stays weak and momentum fades.

The Bird's Eye View

You’ve validated your course now it’s time to build consistency. This is the third stage of your journey, where momentum turns into a system. Ahead of you is The Oracle stage, where your brand runs like a well-oiled machine and your income becomes truly passive.

Your focus right now isn’t perfection, it’s stability. This stage is about creating repeatable launches, steady lead flow, and marketing assets that keep selling even when you’re off the clock. Master this phase, and scaling will feel natural, effortless, and sustainable.

What You Can Do Next

If you’re ready to figure it out on your own:

You already know your course works. Now it’s about consistency. Start refining your launch rhythm and build a simple system that keeps leads and sales coming in between launches. Focus on what’s already proven, double down on what converts, and track your results closely. Growth at this stage isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what works again and again.

If you want support and structure:

Most Rainmakers struggle to keep things consistent launches feel scattered, lead flow slows down, and marketing starts to feel heavier than before. You don’t have to rebuild everything from scratch. Inside The Toolshed, you’ll find ready-to-use templates, automations, and campaign frameworks that help you organize your marketing system, plan repeatable launches, and keep sales coming in steadily. It’s everything you need to move from “launch hustle” to a business that runs smoothly year-round.

Like You, They Were Stuck Too... Until We Fixed the Right Things

These course creators weren’t lacking hustle... they were just focused on the wrong fixes.
Once we dialed in the real problem, everything changed. Here’s what happened next.

🎓 Case Study #1: Heli B. — No Social Media Marketing Allowed in Market

Client: Dr. Heli B.
Role: Executive Leadership Coach, Psychologist, and Global Speaker
Challenge: Marketing a premium leadership course without using traditional social media promotions

BACKGROUND

Dr. Heli Bergström is an internationally experienced leadership coach with over 25 years of deep work in executive coaching and team transformation. When she approached me to help bring her flagship course, Coaching-Driven Leadership, to market, she had one clear non-negotiable:

❝I don’t want to market this on social media.❞

That wasn’t a suggestion. It was a boundary.

As someone who lives and breathes digital marketing and is incredibly comfortable with leveraging organic platforms like Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, this presented a challenge.

But also—an opportunity.

THE CHALLENGE

Dr. Heli’s course was deeply impactful. But her audience?
• Busy executives.
• Corporate decision-makers.
• HR directors and leadership consultants.

They don’t live on Instagram reels.

And Dr. Heli preferred credibility-based outreach over vanity-based visibility.

I had to build a marketing foundation that honored her brand’s tone—quiet confidence, high-trust, high-ticket—and deliver results without using the typical playbook of viral videos, influencer-style content, or daily social media grind.

THE STRATEGY

Instead of trying to convince Dr. Heli to “go viral,” I listened.

Together, we aligned on a strategy rooted in precision and positioning:

✅ Built a full LinkedIn SOP for team outreach targeting corporate L&D leads, coaches, and HR managers
✅ Crafted a personalized outreach funnel with 3 types of offers: affiliate, licensing, and direct enrollment
✅ Created collateral that positions Dr. Heli as an authority—without needing her to post daily or "go live"
✅ Developed lead search criteria + Boolean strings for non-social platforms like Google, company websites, and LinkedIn Sales Navigator
✅ Implemented a VA-led outreach system using carefully worded emails and connection scripts aligned with her voice

All of this was built to scale—without compromising her values.

THE OUTCOME

In just a few weeks, we had:

⭐ A professional, brand-aligned outreach system that didn’t rely on Dr. Heli creating content herself
⭐ A scalable foundation for affiliate partnerships and licensing conversations
⭐ A confident shift from “I don’t want to be visible” to “I can lead quietly—and still win”

THE TAKEAWAY

Not every expert wants to dance on TikTok.

And not every course creator needs to be loud to be profitable.

This project reminded me that true marketing isn’t about imposing your preferred method—it’s about listening, adapting, and building strategies that work for them.

And that’s what we did.

🎓 Case Study #2: Rebekah M. — From Unclear Vision to 9 Sales Before Her Launch

Rebekah had been in my world for years — she bought all 9 of my courses (yup, all of them). She knew she wanted to teach online, but like many multi-passionate entrepreneurs, she didn’t have a clear direction. Her previous attempts at launching felt heavy, inconsistent, and misaligned with her deeper purpose.

Inside Maia, we gave her direction — and clarity that stuck.

The Starting Point:

No clear niche or transformation
Confused about what to teach (productivity, project management, or faith-based topics?)
Afraid her ideas were “too different”
Burned out from trying to figure it out alone

What We Did Together:

✅ Clarified her transformation: Helping Christian VAs get their first client — something she’d already done herself successfully

✅ Designed a 3-Day Live Workshop as a low-ticket offer to validate her niche and build proof

✅ Mapped out a long-term value ladder: Workshop → Community → Membership

✅ Created a messaging strategy that matched her values, voice, and vision

✅ Built confidence through visibility planning and a soft, story-driven launch

The Launch Plan: We didn’t start with building a course. We started by building demand.

A simple sales page
Two weeks of consistent value posts on IG and FB
Zero ad spend
No full curriculum created yet

The Results:

✅ 9 sales BEFORE the course even started

✅ A proven niche she can now own

✅ A community of Christians who resonate deeply with her work

✅ A clear path toward scaling into a faith-driven brand

The Transformation: Before Maia, Rebekah was stuck in analysis. After Maia, she was clear, confident, and in motion — with sales to show for it.

And the best part? She now has a replicable model she can run again and again — aligned with her mission, grounded in clarity, and built to grow.

"And all I can say if you’re new to her learning space, I just wanna encourage you and let you know that you just found your way to someone who I believe is in the top 1% of the coaching/e-learning industry with all her top tier quality lessons.

From the actual content to the delivery and quality of materials, always an overkill."

- Rebekah M.

TAKE ACTION: DO YOUR NEXT STEP

If this is the first time we are meeting, hello! 👋

I’m Demi Bernice, I run Maia, and I'm your new marketing strategist.

I’ve been in the online education space since 2019. Since then, I’ve:

▫️ Spent over $250,000 on Facebook ads (I test what I teach)
▫️ Built and launched 9 profitable online courses
▫️ Taught 7,000+ students through my programs
▫️ Personally helped 100+ course creators fix their offers, validate their ideas, and sell smarter
▫️ Built an audience of 167,000+ followers across social platforms

I do nothing else but this--online education business. In this field, I am hyperfocused.

I’m not here to hype strategies that “sound good.”
I’m here to help your client sell the damn thing.

Because nothing in business moves if sales aren’t coming in.

I despise marketing that wastes time.
I won’t feed “just post more” advice.
And I’m not the coach who’ll teach the same surface-level thing 50 different ways.

I look forward to working with you!
