Instructor Details

Maggie Stara

Hey I’m Maggie - your creative instructor!

I was first introduced to the world of social media marketing in 2016. I was SO excited about the possibility of working online but I was really struggling with the lack of honest, authentic, and high-quality information out there for beginners. So before I even began working in this world, I knew one day I'd want to create the kind of high-quality resources for aspiring marketers that I felt were missing in this space.


Why my courses

My online skills have led to working with an exciting range of talented people, from sole traders to multi-million dollar businesses. And in addition to working as a freelancer, I've also worked in a digital marketing agency and an in-house corporate role. With this wide range of hands-on experiences, I am now able to teach impactful marketing courses designed with other creative overachievers in mind. So you can feel confident that my courses are made by someone who knows exactly how intimidating it can be to be trying to master 20 tools at once and stay on top of constant updates with each of them. And I hope to take away some of the overwhelm and make you feel like you're not alone in this.


Why I love what I do:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very well organized and easy-to-follow course. Maggie explains the process clearly and provides lots of practical examples and useful resources. Not everything applied to my particular social media strategy, but I came away with several great ideas and techniques that I will definitely be using. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to create Reels with Canva.

By Joanna Brodzik on 5/3/2026

Taking Maggie's courses is a pure pleasure. The knowledge is delivered in an extremely accessible, understandable, fun, and pressure-free way. Everything you need to get started and ... to be brave and get going. Thank you so much, and see you in the next course!

can not all videos, only the first one.

By Wilfredo Olmos on 12/9/2025

As with all of Maggie’s courses, the resources are excellent—well developed in both design and content. The course in question offers teachings that are immediately applicable, presented in a practical and didactic way. In short, it is a course designed not only to become familiar with Instagram Reels, but also to apply them effectively and get the most out of them on your account.

By Sandhan Australia on 8/8/2025

As a complete newbie to Instagram and especially how to create reels which I'm going to need for marketing, this course has so far explained things I never knew but need to.. especially how to navigate all the little buttons on the app and what they all do! Plus she explains clearly and incrementally so it's super easy to follow along

By Karen Dowideit on 1/21/2025

I decided to do this course for the exact reason mentioned - I'm not confident being on camera... I only have a small family account, although I'm hoping to do more so this course gave me loads of ideas for different posts rather than just posting pictures of my boys. Thank you to Maggie for another brilliant course (I've already done the social media marketing one)! And now for the next one - Canva, here I come!

By Ronald Daniel Sampson on 12/3/2024

Very useful course on the basics of how to create Instagram reels. Maggie, you have explained everything one needs to get started on how to make reels. Thank you so much for this short yet beautiful course. It has helped me immensely. I highly recommend this course.

By Bronwyn Higgins on 7/4/2024

This is the most amazing intro to instagram course to get your feet wet. The Canva tips are also *chefs kiss. I’ve bought all Maggie’s other courses as well. They are also amazing. I can’t give higher than 5 stars but I would give 10000 if the wee available. GO. GET. THIS. COURSE.

By Turmizi Ali on 6/9/2024

I absolutely loved this course! It was perfect for someone like me who, until now, still finds it difficult to be in front of the camera. The step-by-step guidance made it super easy to create cool, engaging Reels without any hassle. I highly recommend this course to anyone who has only a short time for learning but still wants to be productive in making Canva Reels.

By Massimiliano Bellini on 1/31/2023

This course is full of practical hints and good ideas to make nice Instagram Reels. Everything is explained simply and it's easy to understand. I am going to rewatch some parts of the course at the moment of actually creating my Reels, so I am sure I am following all the instructions in the right way. I definitely recommend this course!! :)
