My favourite courses, tools and memberships

I love to learn new things, and these are some of the tools I use and courses I've taken to learn stuff to expand my business in new directions. Some things I've already implemented, while other things I'm currently working on (like personalizing pre-made bought templates, to sell my first digital journals/planners!). I also link to my own products!

Please note that this page contains affiliate links. This means that if you purchase something, I may make a commission, without any extra expenses to you! I've personally bought and enjoyed all these courses and memberships and would never recommend something I wasn't happy about!

Best, Amada

Tools and making money from home
This hub is hosted on the course platform Teachery. So are my digital products! Teachery offers a lifetime subscription for $550 dollars, and you can make unlimited courses and basically use it to sell any type of digital download in theory. You can also make hubs with multiple links like this one! If you've ever dreamt of selling online courses of any kind, grab this deal while it's still available!

Teachery also allows you to have unlimited amounts of students and you can even offer them lifetime access to your courses/products!

Anyone who buys the lifetime subscription of Teachery through my link, gets two hours of my help for free! I can help you with design, technical stuff or brainstorming! (contact me in the contact form on my website after your purchase)
Ideogram is my tool of choice for realistic clipart, blog post pictures, any type of graphics and Pinterest pins! I previously used Midjourney, but found it too pricey. Ideogram is also much better at text, so this tool is super helpful for any creative or small business owner! It can also make the most beautiful fashion photography and so many other things! 
Are you bilingual like me? Translation has been my bread and butter since 2020, allowing me to work from home while building my creative business.

You probably didn't know that you can get translation jobs from professional translation agencies without a translation degree? Or that you translate from your first to your second language, not vice versa! As a native Norwegian, I translate from English into Norwegian :) I've learned everything I know about translation from Inger Lise, and right now, she offers this amazing training free webinar on how to build multiple income streams as a freelancer in the age of AI (translation being one of them!)

Holo AI is a total game-changer for Pin designs, Instagram posts, professional-looking ads and so on. After just one day of using it, I was hooked! It just makes content creation so much fun with its Tinder-like content swipe function, and the amazingly professional graphics it makes. It uses AI to analyse your style and brand to make perfect content for you. Check out my review below to see examples!

Leonie Dawson is a creative multi-millionaire with ADHD and Autism, and here she shares her best tips on business and productivity success for people with neurodivergent brains!

Leonie has courses on topics like being a sales star, launching your e-course in 40 days, marketing without social media, and a monthly coaching group.

She also has a ton of freebies on her site, so I really recommend that you check her out, especially if you are a spiritual, quirky (in the best way possible!) or a neurodivergent person (she's on the spectrum)
Are you curious about earning passive income by making textures/backgrounds, clipart or other digital products? With or without AI?

In this $9 earnings breakdown, I take you behind the scenes and show you what I earned and learned in my first year as a seller on Creative Fabrica + the rest of 2024!

I started my shop with barely any design experience, and I had no following on social media, so these are realistic results for anyone starting from scratch. Today, in 2025, I'm close to making my first $1000 dollars on CF!

This is my own product, The Digital Paper Library, where you get commercial use rights to 100 colorful textures to use for your digital products, social media or design projects. This is a perfect way to start for everyone who’s looking to start making digital products, be it clipart, digital planners or something else.

Unlike resources you’ll find on for example Creative Market, your license is a "pay once – use for a lifetime" sort of deal, and there are no limits to the amount of end products you can make with it.
