THE WELL-PAID EXPERT IS FUELED BY A DESIRE TO HELP BUSINESS OWNERS AND FREELANCERS ESCAPE THE ‘GRIND’ AND step into their expertise in order to create sustainable wealth.
Welcome. I'm so glad you're here.
Our mission
We’ve been in the online business world long enough to see a common problem cycling again and again for freelancers, service providers, coaches and anyone working online. They are stuck in the time-for-money exchange with no soft place to land or possible way out. The pain of missing out on family time, truly taking vacations without an income loss, and the stress of clients who aren't aligned are major issues I see over and over again. These are the problems I am here to solve once and for all. Not with just one piece of the puzzle, either, like "how to build a course" or "easy evergreen funnels"... because those won’t fix the whole problem.
Our mission is to help you make more money than you dreamed of, while working a lot fewer hours than you'd expect to.

Meet your resident expert, behind experts like you
Kathleen Celmins, CEO, published author, and your personal monetization coach
I can boast two decades of work in leadership, sales, lead generation, and marketing (both digital and offline. I know how to sell things, and I know what will sell… guaranteed. But most importantly, as a whole person outside my identity as an entrepreneur, I’ve learned the importance of lifestyle design, intentional business building, and unsubscribing from the hustle while building a life I don’t want to retire from.
It is out of this passion and the core belief that experts, meaning you, deserve to be paid well for your own expertise that I built The Well-Paid Expert. I specialize in showing entrepreneurs, digital product creators, and anyone making a living selling their expertise as a service the key skills they need to shift the entire scope of their lives. This is a two-pronged approach: have better sales conversations with your prospects, and create an income stream that isn't directly tied to the number of hours your butt is in your chair.
