Tech School
Stop freaking out over tech
Get out of your own way with tech support you can trust without the $$$$ price tag
If you...
Don't have hours
To spend googling outdated YouTube videos that are 47 minutes long with only 3 minutes of semi-helpful content…
If you...
Don't have $$$$
To spend on a developer who charges $300 for something that would take you 15 hours, but only takes him 1 hour…
You have another choice!
What if:
- You had someone who could answer your tech questions - someone you trusted?
- You always knew what the next step was in setting up your website or getting your email list started?
- You were able to finally launch "that thing" you've been prompted to create b/c the tech was no longer keeping you stuck?
- You were excited about your business again because you got to focus on the parts you loved instead of sludging through all the tech?
- The answers to your tech questions were only a quick search away in short, to-the-point videos?
- It all cost less than your cell phone bill or gym membership?
Introducing: Tech School
A stockpile of easy to search video tutorials and series that walk you through the tech side of a content marketing business in simple language.
(Content marketing = a business with a focus on a blog, podcast, YouTube channel, IG feed etc.)
Tech school is different:

"Misty's saved me so much time and money"
Misty has saved me so much time and money! Misty’s advice has been invaluable in helping me understand which hosting service, website plugins, course platforms, and email marketing platform options will fit my needs without breaking the bank. The options for these are endless when you’re building a website or course and I have saved literally hundreds of dollars by following Misty’s tech advice— she has saved me from a lot of unnecessary purchases as well as guiding me to make a few quality purchases that have been so beneficial to my business. I cannot recommend her highly enough!
With Tech School you Can Stop:
(These are the things you’ve told me you struggle with – exact quotes)
- Getting anxious over not understanding how your own website works
- Spending 100 hours to get 5 minutes of actual work done on your business
- Throwing adult tantrums (I've totally done this!) when things JUST. DON'T. WORK. HOW. THEY. SHOULD.
- Feeling tech challenged, and overwhelmed by, and at your wits end with all the tech
- Wanting to smash the heck out of your expensive computer because NOTHING every goes smoothly
- Thinking things like "I know my knowledge could help people, but maybe doing it online is just not a good fit for me"
So you can:
Finally grow your business and help the people you are meant to help. There are people out there who need YOU and what YOU have to offer. But tech holds you back. Let me help with the tech so you can focus on helping those I can’t. Tech is a skill I have. But you have knowledge, skills, and life experience that I don’t have and your people NEED you.
Ways to learn inside Tech School:
Individual Tutorials
Short, quick to-the-point videos for individual tasks
Need to know how to setup your WordPress menus? Simply search “menus” and pick the tutorial titled “Your WordPress Menu”
Want to better understand how pages work in WordPress? Search “WordPress pages” and you’ll find a tutorial to help you do just that.
Tutorials Series
Like a mini-course for a tech process
Want to make sure you are completing a process in the right order? Something like Setting up your WordPress website or maybe setting up Woocommerce on your WordPress website in order to sell a product?
That is what Tutorial Series are for – they walk you one step at a time through the whole process in the right order.
*Ask Me Anything is not included in the Solo Tech School membership, but can be purchased separately or as part of a Platinum Tech School membership. See pricing and/or FAQ below for more info.
Ask Me Anything
Ask me any question about your business (tech or marketing)
Each day, M-F, I spend 30 minutes answering Platinum Tech School members questions on a first come first serve basis.
I will even log into your site and show you how to do something and then send you the video!
All video answers (not just yours) are saved and searchable, making it easy to find answers to your questions.
Megan is spending more time on what she loves
Tech school has given me the help I needed to push past road-blocks that have been frustrating me for years!
TheManyLittleJoys.com
The tech side of blogging has always been incredibly daunting to me. I can write, photograph, and graphic design all day long, but trying to get my website to look and function the way I want to has been a long-standing frustration…until now.
Tech school has given me the help I needed to push past road-blocks that have been frustrating me for years! Misty’s tutorials are easy-to-follow, thorough, and cover so many topics. Misty truly cares about helping women succeed in spreading goodness to the world, and she is really good at breaking down the tech barriers that keep so many of us from moving forward.
I may never love the tech side of blogging, but Tech School has given me the knowledge and confidence I need to achieve my goals. Now I spend less time searching for answers and more time on the parts of my business that I love! I still have so much work to do, but now I know where to go for help as I continue to build my business. Thank you, Misty!

the "Ask Me Anything" Calls are Melanie's favorite
FYI – Melanie is actually the one who came up with the name “Ask Me Anything” Thank you Melanie!

"Tech school will be the best money you have spent on your business."
You really can ask Misty anything. She will even log onto your website and help you with your specific problem. That has been an incredible, incredible tool to be able to use.
She is worth every penny times 10. It’s insane how much money she saves me by teaching me how to do it so that I don’t have to hire it out.
30 day no questions asked guarantee
I am certain Tech School will change your business for the better. In fact, I am so sure that I offer a 30 day money back guarantee. Just email me and tell me why/how it was not helpful (so I can improve it in the future). I won’t hold you to any silly rules or give you any hoops to jump through.
I'm Misty Marsh
I built tech school for you
I’ve been involved in online content marketing since 2008. I built 3 businesses in that time – one that was successful enough to sell for 6 figures.
But I’ve been where you are at:
- Hours away from my family trying to figure out things I now know are fairly simple – like how to make it so someone could pay me for a product I’d created
- 3:00 am tears – or sobs actually – over tech issues that cost me thousands of dollars
- Paying a developer hundreds of dollars to do something I now know only took him 20 minutes
In fact, I used to pray that God would let me quit. I didn’t want to learn all the tech that went on behind an online business. It was just too hard. But God’s answer was always no. I needed to push through it.
And now I know why.
I had to push through it and REALLY learn the tech so I could:
- Understand where you are at and how you feel
- Help you rise above it and grow your business faster than I did mine
If you feel like I used to, I sincerely hope you will join me inside of Tech School.
Is Tech School Right for you?
Tech School is not the right fit for anyone and everyone, and I’d rather you figure that out now then waste your time.
Tech School IS right for you if:
- You have, or want to have a WordPress website
- You want to to understand how your website and other tech work on at least a basic level
- You want to automate your email marketing
- You want to be able to make changes to your website without hiring a developer/designer
- You want to create a high quality digital product
- You want to create an ecourse
- You want to have a membership site
- You are excited about using a drag and drop theme builder to customize your theme
- You are or want to use MailerLite, Drip or ConvertKit for your email service provider
- You are willing to watch tutorials and try what you see
Tech School is NOT right for you if:
- You have or want to have a Wix or Kajabi or Click Funnels or Shopify or Squarespace website - basically anything other than WordPress*
- You want to learn how to custom code your theme
- You want to use Ontraport or Keap (aka Infusionsoft) for your email service provider*
- You want 100% of your tech done for you
* See FAQ below for more about this
Tech School Focuses on the Following Tools:
The info (tutorials and Ask Me Anything topics) inside of tech school teach (or will teach) about the following tools because these are the tools I know inside and out. I will do my best to help you with any tech tool, but I can only guarantee full support of the following:
- Accessally (my very favorite tool for creating a membership site or professional ecourse)
- Buzzsprout (a tool that stores and delivers your podcast audio files)
- Canva (a tool for designing digital product (ebooks, workbooks etc.), social media graphics and more)
- ConvertKit & MailerLite (tools for email marketing)
- Descript (the tool I use to record my podcast)
- Elementor (a tool for designing every piece of your WordPress website (including your theme popups and forms) using a drag and drop interface)
- Fusebox (a tool for putting a podcast player on your website)
- G Suite (a tool for using gmail to host a professional email address - like yourname@yourwebsite.com)
- Infinity (a Trello like tool for project management)
- Namecheap (where I recommend your purchase your domains from)
- Searchie (the tool I use to record and host videos that are searchable)
- Siteground, Flywheel, and WPMUDev (the 3 website hosts I recommend)
- Social Warfare (the tool I use to control how my website content is shared on social media)
- Streamyard (the tool I use to steam live videos to Facebook or Youtube
- Tailwind (a tool that helps you preschedule Pinterest and Instagram content)
- Teachable (a tool that helps you create a simple website that is NOT hosted on your WordPress website)
- Woocommerce (a tool for selling digital or physical products on your WordPress website)
- WordPress (questions that aren't specific to any one theme)
- Yoast SEO (a tool that helps you optimize the searchability of your WordPress blog posts)

Misty's saved me hours
When you come into this new and you have no idea what you’re doing, like me, having someone to point you in the right direction, to know that there’s this one place I can go to, someone who I trust and I don’t have to go look on Google for an hour trying to find someone that I think might be legitimate, it makes a big difference. Misty’s saved me hours.
For me, doing Tech School was the best thing for my website out of everything. Being able to say, “Hey, what about this?” And Misty saying, “well, let me research that and then I’ll find out for you,” that’s huge.
FAQ
What tools do you teach about in Tech School?
For Website Stuff:
I focus on WordPress and plugin (like addons) I know how to use exceptionally well for WordPress. I currently have tutorials for:- How to setup hosting for a WordPress website using Siteground or Flywheel
- How to setup your WordPress website the right way (so you actually understand it)
- How to design your WordPress website using Elementor Pro (including customizing your theme, popups and forms)
- How to setup a store on your WordPress website using Woocommerce and a few more advanced Woocommerce tricks (like order bumps)

- How to setup a membership on your WordPress website using Memberpress (I will not be updating this in the future)
- How to setup a course on your WordPress website using LearnDash (I will not be updating this in the future)
Email tools:
Currently, there is only 1 tutorial in Tech School (How to setup MailerLite and start collecting email addresses for free) for email tools, but I plan to add tutorials for ConvertKit and Drip.Other tools:
I will be adding tutorials for all the tools I use in my business eventually, but right now you will find:- How to use Canva for beginners
- Basic and advanced Canva hacks
- Canva free vs Pro
- Elementor free vs Pro

- Buzzsprout (a tool that stores and delivers your podcast audio files)
- ConvertKit & Drip (tools for email marketing)
- Descript (the tool I use to record my podcast)
- Fusebox (a tool for putting a podcast player on your website)
- G Suite (a tool for using gmail to host a professional email address - like yourname@yourwebsite.com)
- Infinity (a Trello like tool for project management)
- Namecheap (where I recommend your purchase your domains from)
- Searchie (the tool I use to record and host videos that are searchable)
- WPMUDev (the 3rd website host I recommend)
- Social Warfare (the tool I use to control how my website content is shared on social media)
- Streamyard (the tool I use to steam live videos to Facebook or Youtube
- Tailwind (a tool that helps you preschedule Pinterest and Instagram content)
- Yoast SEO (a tool that helps you optimize the searchability of your WordPress blog posts)
Ask Me Anything:
In addition to the "official" tutorials, I also answer all sorts of tech questions about all sorts of tool in Ask Me Anything such as:- How to create and deliver a freemium
- How to create a popup
- Embedding video
- How to protect your site from spam
- Podcast tech questions
- Canned responses in gmail
- Sales funnels
- Sales pages
But really, it's up to you!
Tech School members will vote on the tutorials they want next. I want this school to benefit you and answer your questions - so you will have a big part in deciding what gets added and in what order.Do I have to use Elementor Pro to take advantage of Tech School?
Elementor Pro is an incredibly robust page/theme builder available and I am very adept at using it. I can answer any question about it that you can throw at me, so if you do use it, I can help you design the website of your dreams.
To be 100% truthful, if you do not have Elementor Pro (affiliate), there will be some tutorials that will not be helpful to you.
But there will be many that still are. The basic WordPress tutorials or how to setup a store on your site, how to create a membership site etc. will all still apply. In addition, much of what I teach can be done with the free Elementor Page builder.
But without at least the free page builder, even though you'll know how to create a store or a membership etc., you will have to figure out how to design the pages inside of your store or membership on your own using your theme. There is no possible way I can provide support for any and all themes, and I don't offer custom coding.
So while Elementor Pro (affiliate) isn't required for Tech School, it is highly recommended.
But I truly believe Elementor Pro to be an investment that is WELL worth it for your business. It means you can change anything and everything about the design of your site without ever having to hire a designer. It's only $49 per year! Just do it! (affiliate)
Are all of the tutorials available immediately or do they get released to me over time ?
You get access to everything right away! No waiting. And I add more tutorials regularly so the tutorials you have access to will keep growing.
How often will new tutorials be added to Tech School?
My plan is to add at least one tutorial series (which can be anywhere from 5-30 individual tutorials) monthly.
I've already got a website. I'm fairly experienced. Will Tech School be helpful for me?
I believe so. There are tutorials that will teach you how to set up a store one your website where you can sell digital (or physical) products. There are tutorials for how to create an eCourse and/or membership if you are interested in doing either of those things.
But more, it will be the members that determine which tutorials I create each month. You can vote for what should come next.
And if you need something done on your website and I don't yet have a tutorial inside of tech school for it, you can apply to have me use your website to create one and do the work for you!
*You will also want to read the answer to the "Do I have to use Elementor Pro" question above.
I'm brand new - I haven't even started a website yet. Will Tech School be helpful for me?
Yay! Then I will walk you through how to do it right the first time!
But in answer to your question, yes, Tech School will be perfect for you. The tutorial series will walk you right through getting your site online and getting your pictures and text to look just like you want them to.
What if I use Click funnels/Kajabi/Podia/Squarespace etc. for my website?
I do not currently have any tutorials inside of Tech School for these tools. There are a few reasons for this:
- I don't (yet) have experience with these tools, so I can create WordPress tutorials much faster
- I personally prefer (and typically recommend) to have 100% control of my website and content. Most of these "all in one" platforms have restrictions that frustrate me. By trying to meet everyone's needs and do ALL THE THINGS, they often sacrifice in quality OR flexibility.
- Quality over Quantity. I want to keep my tutorials current and I don't want to have tutorials for so many different tools that I can't keep up and provide the quality I want to inside of Tech School
For now, the website tutorials I create will focus on WordPress and the plugins that make it such a flexible, powerful platform.
But, I also want to meet your needs. Right now, there are enough of you who want/need WordPress help that I feel I can focus there for the time being, but if that changes and I get a high demand for a different tool, I am open to adjusting.
What if I use Ontraport/Active Campaign/Keap/Mailchimp for my email service provider?
I have experience with MailerLite, Drip, and ConvertKit and those will be the 3 main email service providers I will cover inside of Tech School - at least at first.
I am just now starting to create these. I love these 3 systems for their ease of use, price point, and automation capabilities.
If there ends up being a strong demand for another email service provider I may be willing to branch out, but not initially. I will focus on just those 3 for a while.
Tell me more about Ask Me Anything
Ask Me Anything was something I originally just called "group coaching, but one of the early members though "Ask Me Anything" was a better name and I agreed.
The idea is that when you are new online (or even if you've not), it can be hard to get answer to your questions from someone that you trust without paying hundreds of dollars an hour for coaching.
I want you to be able to ask me any question at all about your business and get an honest, helpful answer.
We can do a deep dive into your messaging. I can log onto your website and fix a tech issue for you. I can do an audit/assessment of your website design. Truly, anything!
You can submit questions anytime at all. I spend 30 minutes answering questions every day (Monday - Friday) except holidays and an occasional vacation.
All answers (video and written) are posted publicly in the Ask Me Anything community. You can also search the actual video transcripts for any word and be taken to the exact spot I say that word in any/all of the videos.
What if I want a refund?
I plan to exceed your expectations with Tech School. I want you to feel like you are getting a bargain.
But if you decide Tech School isn't for you, just send me an email letting me know why it didn't work for you (so I can improve it) in the first 30 days and I will refund your money no questions asked.
What if I have a question?
If you have questions about accessing content or billing etc, my assistant, you will be able to contact my assistant Audra or I and we will take care of you.
If you are a Bronze Tech School member and have questions about your website tech, you can ask inside The Goodness Squad community where I, or other members can respond.
If you are a Platinum Tech School member, you can submit questions to me anytime you want. I will answer these questions twice a week during a live "Ask Me Anything" session. These sessions are recorded if you cannot attend live.
What if I need to cancel my membership?
You can easily cancel with just a click of your mouse - I'm not going to hold you hostage!
I have a question not answered here

Tech School Is A Godsend
Tech School is literally a Godsend for me! I’ve literally spent two weeks trying to get it set up so people could join my email list. Google eventually showed me the right way but it was after a lot of trial and error, stress and so much time wasted! Compare that to this last week when I was able to put together a beautiful freemium (Thank you Misty for the templates!), set up the landing page, create a whole automation and email series, and connect it all to my website. More than double the amount of work, half the time, no stress at all, and it looks professional and beautiful. I really can’t say this loud enough: I LOVE MISTY AND TECH SCHOOL!
