What you'll learn
How Colin went from no existing audience to $1M+ annually
Colin will share the steps from not teaching on Maven to earning over $1M per year
The major inflection points in growing his business
I'll ask Colin how he went from his first course on Data for PMs to growing into multiple courses and quitting his job
Advice for those starting out
This session will focus almost exclusively on advice for those who are just starting on Maven
Why this topic matters
Colin had real teaching experience on Pluralsight before he started on Maven, but did not have a significant social media presence. He methodically grew his email list and follower count to 20k+ and taught thousands of students. He eventually went full-time, and that makes him an insanely useful case study for someone trying to build their own expert business.
