A free collaborative guide for course creators and educators who are growing their lists with AI-powered tools, quizzes, and interactive resources — not static downloads.
Apply to Contribute →Beyond the PDF is a limited-time collaborative guide featuring course creators and educators who are done with static lead magnets. Each contributor shares what's actually working — and together, you reach audiences you'd never find alone.
Available free for a limited window and promoted by all 20 contributors to their combined audiences. Maximum visibility, zero ad spend.
Every contributor is featured for a specific interactive or AI-powered lead magnet that's growing their list right now. No PDFs. No fluff.
Readers who opt in see a bundle of paid resources from every contributor at a special bundle price. You earn 50% commission on every sale your link drives.
With 20 contributors each sending to their lists, this guide reaches thousands of course creators. You show up in front of audiences you'd never reach solo.

This guide is curated, not open to everyone. I'm looking for contributors who have something real to share — and who will actually show up for the launch.
You've used it, it's grown your list, and you have a specific result to share. Quizzes, Claude artifacts, interactive HTML tools, GPTs, templates — anything but a static PDF.
Your people are building or growing digital businesses. They care about list growth, lead generation, and working smarter. That's who this guide is for.
You have a paid resource that's a natural next step from your free contribution. It goes in the bundle — and earns you 50% on every sale you refer.
When the guide goes live on July 13, you send a dedicated email to your list. That's the deal. It's how this works for everyone — including you.
This is a collaborative project. It works because everyone shows up. Here's what I need from you.
Applications close June 19, 2026. I review every application personally and follow up within 5 business days.
I'm a digital product strategist, MBA professor, and the founder of Creator's MBA — a brand built around helping digital entrepreneurs build predictable, recurring revenue without chasing algorithms or grinding through launches. I put together collaborative projects like this one because the best business advice comes from people who are actually doing the work.
