Quick Start Planner for Independent Teachers for $7
ARE YOU…
…IN DESPERATE NEED OF A SIMPLE PLAN TO START YOUR INDEPENDENT TEACHING BUSINESS?
but worried that you’ll spend weeks spinning in circles without actually getting anywhere?
…NOT IN A POSITION TO HIRE A COACH OR JOIN AN EXPENSIVE COURSE RIGHT NOW?
but feel like you may not have a solid alternative to help you figure it all out?
…SO STRESSED AND OVERWHELMED BY “ALL THE MOVING PIECES” OF GOING INDEPENDENT?
that you’re seriously considering sticking with the platform even though you know you’re meant for more?
I HEAR YOU AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS: YOU ARE NOT ALONE IN THIS FEELING!
Many of the resources out there for starting your independent teaching business promise clarity—but end up leaving you more confused than when you started. Some are so generic they don’t apply to online teachers at all. Others throw around terms like “funnels” and “lead magnets” without explaining what you actually need to do first. And even when they do give you steps, they’re often buried in long videos, conflicting advice, or fluff that doesn’t move you forward. Instead of feeling supported, you end up second-guessing every decision… still unsure what to do, when to do it, or how to actually enroll a student.
The idea of going independent might feel exciting—and deep down, you know it’s the right move. But when it comes time to actually sit down and set everything up? It’s overwhelming. You’re staring at a blank screen trying to figure out what to do first… Do you pick a niche? Choose a curriculum? Set up a payment method? And how are you supposed to market yourself when you’re not even sure what you’re offering yet? Before long, you’re so frustrated you’re ready to give up—before you’ve even really started.
HI! I’M JILLIAN SHANAHAN, AND I CREATED THE QUICK START PLANNER FOR TEACHERS JUST LIKE YOU.
As an online teacher and business mentor, I’ve been building and growing digital teaching businesses for years—both my own and alongside hundreds of other teachers. I’m not a tech expert, a marketing guru, or a web designer—and I don’t believe you need to be either. What I’ve learned is this: for so many talented teachers, the hardest part isn’t the teaching—it’s figuring out how to actually get started on your own. The moment the platform disappears or bookings slow down, the pressure to “build a business” becomes overwhelming. What do you focus on first? How do you avoid wasting time on things that don’t matter? I’ve seen teachers spin their wheels for months simply because no one showed them what to do—and in what order.
That’s exactly why I created the Quick Start Planner.
My goal was simple: To create the easiest, most actionable, totally non-overwhelming starter plan for independent teachers— One that gives you step-by-step guidance, zero fluff, and the exact steps you need to get your business ready to enroll… even if you're not “business-minded.”
The Quick Start Planner is exactly that (and more!). And if any of this feels like what you’ve been missing—then I made it for you.

BUT DON’T TAKE MY WORD FOR IT…
I went from a handful of students to a thriving online teaching business with a full schedule of classes in just one month!
I am so glad I sought out Jillian’s coaching when I was in the early stages of going independent.
I have been working with Jillian for many years now. She has helped me to grow my business.
