Gina Kammer: Book Coaching Business Built with Zenler

I had a hard time keeping it current on my own. Web coding was also more of a hobby-obsession than something I could employ for all the complex ideas in my head. So I started searching for platform options on which to build my little empire as a book coach and editor for science fiction and fantasy writers.

Quick answer: Gina Kammer uses Zenler to run a book coaching business for science fiction and fantasy writers, combining a coaching website, funnels, landing pages, email marketing, courses, assignments, live calls, community, blog content, free writer resources, the Zenler App and Stripe payments in one platform.

One requirement was that I had to be able to provide instructional content for my authors, which naturally led me to looking at course platforms such as Thinkific and Teachable. I tested them out in some free trials, but neither were as all-encompassing as I had hoped. I didn’t want to have to cobble together a bunch of different tools and get them all to talk nicely to one another.

Why Gina Needed an All-in-One Course and Coaching Platform

So I explored more robust business platforms and considered Kajabi for the kind of online coaching home I wanted to build. But I had one major problem: I am a book coach, not a business coach. I help people with their passions, and my margins made it hard to justify a higher-cost stack of separate tools.

Why Gina Chose Zenler

Gina found Zenler during an earlier stage of the platform and saw that it could support the business she was trying to build. The appeal was not just course hosting; it was the ability to connect courses, email marketing, funnels, live coaching, community and payments in one place. She now uses Zenler for many parts of her book coaching business.

What I Use Zenler Features For

• My primary coaching website to direct potential clients to
• Funnels to help writers find the resources they need
• Landing pages for my offers and services
• Email marketing to stay in touch with my writers
• Courses inside my book coaching program
• Lesson discussion for further support in my courses
• Assignment submissions for students to get my personal feedback
• Live coaching calls with Zenler Zoom to help authors with their manuscripts
• Introductory calls with potential clients so we both know if my program is a good fit
• Community forum for sharing wins, getting help, and knowing we’re not alone in this
  often solitary writing endeavour
• Blog to share my research, craft tips, and industry insights with more authors
• Free resources for writers who sign up on my site and log in
• The Google Calendar sync of my program’s calls for my students to keep them in their
  schedules
• Zenler App access for students who want to listen to lessons on the go
• Secure payments through Stripe and linked with Zenler so students can take control of
  their memberships

These features have all been crucial in helping me launch my book coaching program, Enchant Your Readers. I used the Zenler website builder to design and create the online “castle” I always wanted with help from all the free tutorials from the Zenler team. Through their resources, I also learned how to bundle my writing/editing course components and bonuses for a program that feels and looks robust.

Marketing Using Zenler

Zenler’s funnel templates and default email automation sequences provided me with starting points to customize to my vision. Having these things built in put me in a position to see the creation of my program through with some marketing avenues in place. So much easier than starting completely from scratch even when I completely tailored everything to my needs!

In other words, these tools and features got my program up and running so I could simply get such a large project started—and running. I wouldn’t have been able to offer so much to authors without a platform as comprehensive as Zenler to house it all. So far, it’s been an intuitive, seamless experience for my students, and I love that I can keep everything in one place for them.
