What makes me qualified to teach you?
My name is Phil. I started my own business in 2012. In 2013 it was a 6-figure business, and revenue has doubled each year since. Plus, I strive to make the best online courses and now have over 150,000 students and thousands of 5-star reviews like this:
Great information is presented and in a positive way. This course doesnt feel monotonous like some other courses i have taken. I love the upbeat conversational style presentations. - Anna Baillard
Great information and content. I highly recommend this course for anyone trying to start a business online. - Azeez Salu
Phil jumps right into the content, and I am really enjoying the course so far. Great for freelancers and looking forward to more of the business-related content. High quality video and audio. I've enjoyed many of Phil's classes, and this is another great one. - Vakesh Bijouri
My Promise to You
I'll be here for you every step of the way. If you have any questions about the course content or anything related to this topic, you can always post a question in the course or send me a direct message.
I want to make this the best course on how to launch your own successful business. So if there is any way I can improve this course, just tell me and I'll make it happen.
I've been where you are right now. I know how hard it is to wake up each morning to go to a job you hate. I know how it is to be drowning in debt, working a job that doesn't pay me what I'm worth. I know how it is to start a freelance business without a following or website.
But...
After many years of research, experimenting, failures, and success, I am now running my own 6-figure per year business doing what I love each and every day. And I want to show you exactly how I do it.
This course walks you through the entire process of creating your own business from scratch. We start by defining your craft and choosing a skill of yours that will be the best for your business. We'll follow it up with market research to find your target audience and competition. We'll then build a website (learning from scratch) and capture leads with a foolproof sales funnel system. We'll learn how to find your first clients (and your next ones). Then we'll take it to the next level and learn how to properly run a business and grow it to 6-figures per year.
Guides, samples, and templates included! This course includes downloadable resources that will help you with contracts, proposals invoicing and more.
Skills You'll Have After Taking This Course:
- Setting better goals
- Start freelancing by moonlighting
- Market research
- Define your value proposition
- Build a website
- Capture leads
- Build a portfolio with raving testimonials
- Turn customers into fans with social media
- Find targeted customers
- Close the deal to get more business
- Grow your business to 6-figures

- So much more!

After 7 weeks, will you know how to make $100,000 per year? Yes.
After 7 weeks, will you be on the path to making $100,000 per year? Yes, if you put in the work.
ARE YOU READY TO TAKE ACTION?

I’m Phil Ebiner, an educator, photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Video School and Photography & Friends. Through my online courses and creative community, I’ve helped millions of students around the world learn practical skills in photography, video production, design, and more. My goal is to make creative skills feel accessible, useful, and encouraging, whether you’re picking up a camera for the first time or looking to take your work to the next level.
My teaching style is clear, supportive, and hands-on. I break complex topics into simple steps, explain the “why” behind each technique, and share real-world examples you can immediately apply. As a photographer and filmmaker, I believe great creative work is not just about gear or settings, but about storytelling, intention, observation, and connection. My goal is to help you feel confident, inspired, and capable of bringing your own creative ideas to life.

Great succinct overview for someone who is thinking of starting their own business with no experience. It is not overwhelming and helpful with great tips and advice. The only issue for me is that I am UK based so some of the information like taxes was not helpful for me personally but I still learned so much. Thank you
By Terry Buchmann on 2/5/2025
I enjoyed this course. My business has nothing to do with video editing or online courses and I found so many things mentioned very valuable! It wasn't overwhelming with jargon or lots of legal stuff...it was down-to-eart and adaptable to my business scope. Thanks!
By Athena Arnold on 4/15/2024
Phil is a great teacher and does a great job at organizing each lesson. He explains everything in great detail and gives really good examples. I recommend taking this course as it has encouraged me to take action when building my business. Thank You!

A lot of good information that can be used, and easy enough to follow along with, but it is more heavily based on freelancing and providing a service and only touches lightly on business that deal in products. If you're looking for something that goes more into e-commerce and selling your products, this can definitely help give you a base point to start with, but you will need to look at other courses to round out your learning.

I learned many new things for starting my online business and how to work with clients. :)
