INTENSIVE: May 2025: Kink Class Incubator: From Concept to Launch

Since 2019, Wicked Grounds Annex has provided resources for our instructors and would-be instructors to develop stronger, more impactful, more engaging classes — along with strategies to find, engage, and build communities with the best students for their content.

We can help you change kink culture for the better by refining your course ideas and optimizing your marketing approach. This course will improve classes and marketing for experienced and new instructors alike.

In this class, you’ll learn what you need to get a basic start teaching in kink, polyamory, fetish, magick — or any other peer-taught subject. Of course, we’d be delighted if you plan to teach with Wicked Grounds, but our goal is to create great teachers who can teach anywhere.

Throughout May 2025, you will learn to:

• Refine and sharpen your core message
• Figure out what you really want to say — what only you can
• Differentiate your class based on your experience and knowledge
• Market your class in ways that really work
• Include your students, and learn as you teach
• Give a class that makes a difference
• Engage your audience and build your fans

How we’ll engage

Starting Monday, May 5, we’ll engage in four major sections of work as you refine your concept, discover your audience, and take your class from concept to outline.

You’ll use the same approach that Miriam Green — a retired marketing consultant — uses to develop, market, and continually improve their classes.

This course will include four full weeks of self-directed coursework (which you may complete at your schedule and repeat as many times as you need) along with four or five 75-minute live sessions each Monday evening starting at 6pm Pacific/ 9pm Eastern May 5 – June 2.

Students who join without a prior description and outline should plan to attend starting Monday, May 5. More advanced students are welcome to join May 5 but can opt to start May 12.

All live sessions will be recorded for those who cannot attend live or wish to review the session. You may also book additional consulting time with Mir as an add-on, which may be completed during or after the class period.

Miriam Green has been a BDSM and kink educator since 2014, when they acquired Wicked Grounds. Mir teaches 4-5 classes per month on average for Wicked Grounds and has also taught repeat engagements for Society of Janus, Dark Odyssey Events, Foundations, Arizona Power Exchange (APEX), Desert Dominion, and several other organizations and events.

Before joining the BDSM world, Mir was a marketing, brand and product development research consultant for several Fortune 500 companies under their day-to-day name, and they leverage their niche marketing & product development knowledge in their own marketing and this class.
