"I am so happy that I joined Dishing up Digital school. I still would still be in my corporate job if I hadn't!

This program really is differentiated from other courses on the market because it is so comprehensive.

Ellen teaches us how to create contracts, invoices, maintain client relations, communicate with clients, and THEN all the social media strategy side of things.

My biggest wins are quitting my job, getting a huge confidence boost, booking my first client (then another 5 more!). I loved how everything was so clear and bite-sized, and made this big, scary concept of starting a business a little less big and scary.

The investment paid itself off and I'm really, really glad that I did it!"

"It took me a while to enroll in the course because I already had two years social media manager experience. But I regret not taking this sooner!

It helped me improve my systems, improve my portfolio and gave me ideas to "level-up" my service and what I deliver, which clients have loved so far.

I used one of Ellen’s strategies and got 10 discovery calls booked - I was amazed! Even though I wasn’t a beginner, I still learned a lot particularly when it comes to pitching myself, especially in Facebook groups, and how to send cold emails that sound more appealing.

My goals were to quit my full-time job and book high-end clients - I booked my first high-ticket overseas client two weeks after starting the course (a $6000 project!), AND quit my job two months later after landing another $2000 monthly package."

"The Dishing Up Digital School was exactly what I needed to give me the confidence to take my dreams and make them a reality.

After dabbling in social media management for a little while, the course delivered all the essential information in a package. Ellen teaches a wide range of relevant topics, while also delving deep into each one. It has set me up so well and I even booked my first paying client during the course.

If you want to be a social media manager, but doubt your abilities, this course will give you the confidence to launch your business and chase your dreams!

As a freelancer, you are often working alone and don't know if your work is 'good enough' as there is no one else to compare to. Learning from Ellen showed me that I do have a strong knowledge and skill set. It has enabled me from taking my social media management dream to getting my first paid client."

"Since becoming my own boss, I have freedom to do things, create my schedule of work around my life and give myself time to relax. 

A few months after enrolling, I booked my first client for a $1500 project - and now I’ve increased my prices. 

Dishing up Digital School has given me the confidence to set boundaries with my clients. I used to be available 24/7 and even gave out my personal number. Now I have more separation and a better work/life balance, including a dedicated work phone.

I thought that I needed a marketing degree to become a social media manager… but Dishing up Digital School has shown me what's possible even if you don’t have a degree. Plus it includes more information than anything else that I've done so far for social media and continuing my education."

"Each module is jam packed with valuable information that helps put my self-doubt at ease, knowing Ellen is going to cover ALL aspects of the job with the lived-experience to back it up!

Over and above all the of the practical instruction, one of the most valuable parts of this program, for me, was Ellen’s confidence coaching and BFF persona that really made me feel like I had a personal cheerleader on my side. It can be challenging to overcome limiting beliefs when starting your own business, but thankfully, a lot of the school lessons not only shape your skills- but also your mindset. I immediately connected with Ellen’s down to earth relatable personality, and introvert-friendly energy. She radiates authenticity and humility and she’s exactly the type of hype girl (but NOT grind culture girlie) that I needed to connect with to make me believe I could also be successful in this industry.
