Learn with Ashley Kays.
Ashley combines product, UX, marketing and teaching experience from work including CodeTeachers, Thinkful and Flatiron School. The course brings those disciplines together around a practical goal: create work that solves a clear problem and learn how to put it in front of relevant buyers.
Can I use the materials for a product I sell?
Yes. Use and adapt the worksheets for your own business and original products. The course and template pack itself cannot be resold, sublicensed or repackaged as a competing training product.
Do I need an audience or a finished idea?
No. Start with experience you can use to help someone. The first lessons help you choose a buyer and research a task; the distribution lesson covers existing audiences, relevant communities, useful search content and creator partnerships.
What if I already made a product?
Use the evidence, positioning, pricing and buyer-route lessons to improve it. The exercises work with a new idea or an existing product.
How does access work?
The free workspace and first lesson are open now. For the full $97 course, request enrollment by email. Ashley confirms access, payment and the applicable terms before you pay. The materials are written lessons and editable files; live coaching is a separate service.
