Ready to create a focused marketing plan + actually see results from all that work?
Dare to Grow:
The Essentials
Is where budding entrepreneurs like you learn to implement the marketing strategies + systems necessary to grow your audience and turn them into paying customers and clients.
Skip collecting courses, scouring the internet for ideas, or creeping on other people's Instagrams to figure out how they're making it happen.
If you're ready for a clear guide for your brand messaging, email list, and social media marketing, with a plan you can actually stick to, then this is the program for you!
Here's the problem...
You’ve bought all the courses, ebooks, and workshops. You've read all the blog posts and listened to all the podcast. And you still don’t feel like you know what you’re doing. (no worries, most biz owners do this)
You know you've got something special that will truly help people, but no matter how many strategies you've tried, it's STLL not really working and you're honestly frustrated.
All the options and decisions are leaving you stuck, stalled, and stressed out. But a 1:1 coach or a fancy group program just isn’t in your budget yet.
The solution: One membership with all the marketing strategies necessary to grow your audience + gain customers or clients.
Our mission is to help solopreneurs like you stop doing all the things and start implementing the essential marketing strategies (even scary ones like video) so all your effort actually grows your business.
This is for you if...
- You’re running a service or digital product business making between 0 and $5k/month
- You’ve been trying to do too many things and know you need to be better at focusing on the most important stuff
- You've been letting fear hold you back and are ready to get out of your own way
- You want a community of women working toward the same things and a coach keeping you accountable
- You're ready to boost your confidence in promoting your stuff and feel good positioning yourself as an authority
So why isn't your marketing working already?
There are too many options for email platforms, social media, content, and you can't figure out which to focus on first.
Time. Time. Time. You really need more of it but you know setting up systems and specific marketing strategies will help.
Showing up on video and putting yourself out there on social media is 'effin scary and you could really use some support and accountability to go all in.
Whatever is keeping you stuck, we’re ready to help you blast through those roadblocks, put the essential marketing strategies in place, and finally feel confident showing up and selling.
Businesses with effective marketing have 4 things in common...
#1
They're focused on one person + one problem
Most business owners try marketing to multiple people and solve multiple problems, which ends up diluting their message. In The Essentials you'll learn how to find a singular focus and a singular solution so YOUR people can spot you in any crowd.
#2
They show up consistently
Rain or shine, businesses with an effective marketing strategy are able to email their list, show up on Instagram, and sell consistently because they have a plan for creating content and a system that caters to their schedule and strengths.
#3
They've set up systems + automation
You don't have to do all the things. Whether it's simplifying the process or completely automating pieces of the puzzle, successful businesses create a marketing plan that is easy to implement and scale so they can use those hours on the stuff that moves the needle.
#4
They have support + accountability
Don't go it alone! Businesses with an effective marketing strategy also have a support system that helps them stick to their plan, reach their goals, and blast through those late night stress sessions. We've all been there and we've got your back!
Everything you need to set up your marketing + grow to $5k months and beyond in one membership
Trainings that are easy to follow + implement, templates so you don’t have to start from scratch, tried + true strategies so you don’t have to test 50 things to figure out what works, and a truth-telling coach to keep you on track + taking action
The benefits
- All your marketing essentials: In one place at once price (a fraction of what it would cost to purchase each course separately or hire a coach) and set up so you always know what step comes next.
- Mindset and productivity: We know the path of a new business owner is loaded with roadblocks and speed bumps (and occasionally a flying garbage can full of bs), so systems and mindset support are built into the course lessons.
- Personalized feedback: I’m not just dropping these trainings and leaving you to figure it all out. I'll be live 2x every month to answer YOUR questions and provide personal feedback to help you apply every lesson to YOUR business.
- Community: Your business BFF, your next client or customer, your middle of the night support squad, here to keep you accountable and on track.
- No long-term commitment: Want to hang out for 3 months, 6 months, a year? You can cancel + restart your membership at any time - no need to email us or ask.
- No Risk: Try it for a month and if it’s not a good fit hop into your student profile and hit that cancel button - easy peasy!

Meet your mentor
I'm Sarah Morgan and it’s my job to help you simplify your marketing strategies, show up with confidence, and dare to grow!
After years in a loud, chaotic newsroom, my introverted self was SO over it that I used my blog to start a web design business and finally QUIT to freelance full-time in 2012.
Since then I’ve been happily working from my couch to create courses + coaching programs to help you market + grow your business like a BOSS!
I know you've got more than just a business to focus on so The Essentials is full of strategies that have worked for me and my students to grow a successful business WITHOUT working nights and weekends or stressing over every single detail.
We believe in done over perfect, skipping spammy-feeling strategies, and focusing on showing up to serve your people. Sound like a plan??
Ready for results like this??
"It's been a big push to actually start posting. I loved listing out the problems of my customers to get ideas on things to talk about, the different types of posts to do, and the reminder that it's okay to pitch more often!"
- Kory, web designer
"I just finished my first story post selling one of my products using your lesson in your Grow Your 'Gram course. I'm so proud, it's already getting engagement! "
- Julicia, artist
"Dare to Email helped me to better understand how to collect more subscribers. It was easy to understand, and I can use the tips over and over again."

- Sophia, event marketer
"Wow, I thought I was going to get some boring tips on this one [automating your email list], but you just blew my mind in the second half. HA! Thanks, Sarah."
- Ashley, speaker
Any questions??
What if I'm just starting?
Then you're in the right spot! The Essentials are for business owners earning zero - $5k/month from their marketing. So if you've just launched your business, this membership is exactly what you need to get your marketing strategy up and running.
I've been at this for a while, will this be too beginner for me?
Possibly! If you have a growing email list, a social media platform where your audience is super engaged, and running your marketing feels good, then you're probably ready for our digital product program. But if you're not sure, feel free to hop in for a month and check it out.
Which course do I begin with?
Jump into The Essentials intro lessons and you'll see the course roadmap, which lays out exactly what order to do things in. No guesswork needed. Feeing stressed, overwhelmed, unsure, just follow the path. There’s literally a master check list to help you stay on track.
What if my audience isn't on Instagram?
If your people prefer to connect with you on Facebook, LinkedIn, or another social platform, you can still join! You can use our content strategy to attract and warm up an audience anywhere and we'll be adding trainings from experts in other areas to make sure you get all the best practices you need.
What if I don't love it?
No prob! Just hop into your profile in the membership site and cancel your subscription. We don't offer refunds, so if you aren't sure which option to choose, try out monthly membership first and then you can always cancel and switch to yearly.
How much do I have to participate?
It's totally up to you. We think you'll have more fun if you join the monthly calls and participate in the community. But if that's too much people-ing you'll still get so much out of the courses and watching the coaching call replays.
I want to join your digital product program too - which should I do first?
If you already have your email list and Instagram up and running you can dive into the digital product program when it opens (more info here). If you don't have your email list or Instagram running yet, then start with this membership to get those set up.
What if I already purchased one of the courses?
If you already have one of the courses, you'll retain lifetime access to that course, but you can still join the membership to get access to the other courses, community, and coaching calls!
