Made to Sell by Simple Creator Co – Honest Review (I Bought It)
This post contains no affiliate links. I just share products I have genuinely reviewed.
What It Promises
Made to Sell is a $17 mini-course (I grabbed it for $8.50 with a discount code) by Rebecca Rice of Simple Creator Co. The promise is straightforward: create and launch your first digital product in one week, even if you have no audience, no tech skills, and no idea what to sell.
What You Actually Get
The course is hosted on a clean, easy-to-navigate platform and contains five lessons plus a welcome video:
- Welcome video: Rebecca’s backstory, how a digital product made by Rebecca changed her life and let her retire her husband. Inspiring, but not instructional.
- Lesson 1 – Choose Your Product Type (7 mins): What digital products are, how to find your idea, and basic pricing guidance ($9–$49 range).
- Lesson 2 – Build Your Product (11 mins): How to create your product in Canva. Genuinely practical, with a useful screen share. I personally learned things I didn’t know about Canva. This was followed with a 3 minute video demonstration of the Fast-Track AI Creation Companion AI Bot Bundle (available for purchase).
- Lesson 3 – Upload Your Product To Flodesk (26 mins): How to set up your sales page, checkout, and product delivery using Flodesk. The most actionable lesson in the course.
- Lesson 4 – Creating Your Welcome Sequence (10 mins): How to set up a post-purchase welcome email sequence in Flodesk.
- Lesson 5 – Simple Ways To Launch (6 mins): How to launch, which was essentially, post it on Instagram and talk about it often.
Total watch time is roughly 60 minutes.
The Good
Rebecca is warm, relatable, and easy to follow. The Canva walkthrough in Lesson 2 is genuinely useful for beginners, and the Flodesk setup in Lesson 3 is the most practical step-by-step content in the course. Before this course I had never heard of Flodesk and after Lesson 3 I’d happily recommend it myself.
The course does what it says on the tin for a complete beginner: it walks you from idea to live product in a logical sequence.
What You Need to Know Before You Buy
This is where I want to be really straight with you.
The advertised price is $17 (or $8.50 with a discount code). But from the moment you hit purchase, you’ll be presented with a series of upsells:
- Fast-Track Creation Companion (AI tools bundle) – $37
- 30-Day Social Media Marketing Plan – $26
- Sell on Repeat course (full) – $67
- SCC Coaching Community – $47
If you said yes to everything, you’d spend around $185 total. These upsells are also promoted repeatedly inside the course itself – in the dashboard, within lessons, and in additional promotional content throughout the course.
The course also recommends Flodesk for Lessons 3 and 4, which costs around $29/month after a 30-day free trial. So “no website needed” is technically true, but you will need a paid email platform to follow the tech setup as taught.
There is also no refund policy – all sales are final.
Who It’s Good For
- Complete beginners who feel overwhelmed and need someone to walk them through the basics step by step
- People who learn well from warm, conversational teaching styles
- Anyone who genuinely has no idea where to start with digital products
Who It’s Not For
- Anyone who’s already done basic research on digital products, you’ll find most of Lesson 1 familiar
- Anyone expecting a full marketing strategy, the launch lesson is surface level, and the real marketing content lives in the $67 upsell
- Anyone on a tight budget who can’t absorb additional costs for Flodesk or add-ons
Is It Worth It?
At $8.50, absolutely, for a complete beginner. The Canva and Flodesk walkthroughs alone are worth that price, and Rebecca is a genuinely good teacher.
At $17, probably, with the same caveat.
Just go in with eyes open: the core course is the entry point to a broader ecosystem of paid products. The complete system – course, marketing strategy, and email platform – will cost significantly more than the headline price suggests.
While I didn’t add on extra purchases, I would probably consider the Sell On Repeat course advertised at $67, given how informative this course was for a much lower price.
