“I've had so many wins from this course! I've been able to achieve my first $10K month, have the confidence to show up better than before, and create an AMAZING client experience.”
“I've been able to achieve my first $10K month!"
- Nora Gray
“Honestly, enrolling in this course has been the best decision I've made all year."
"I'd only been full-time freelancing for about 6 months in Jan. 2021 (after side-hustling for years), and literally, that whole month I only made $269; it was SO quiet. 1 to 2 months after implementing 2 or 3 of the modules from BOD, I had my first $10k month. No joke. Since taking Booked Out Designer, I've stayed booked out 2-3 months in advance, I've raised my rates several times, and I'm working with clients I love!
In my first full year of working for myself, even though the first half was slower than the last half, I still made more than the salary I'd have gotten at my previous full-time job and so far this year is already growing faster than laster year. C.R.A.Z.Y. 🤩 So glad I took the leap of faith to join BOD!"
- Katelyn Dekle
"1 to 2 months after implementing 2 or 3 of the modules from BOD, I had my first $10K month. No joke."

"My biggest takeaway was booking consistently & making $26,000 since the course!"
- Sierra Janisse
“Before taking Booked Out Designer, I was super busy and always had clients but I was overworked and in danger of serious burnout. I was under-charging, working like crazy and I knew I needed systems and workflows to have a profitable business and serve my clients.
Strategies Elizabeth taught in the course were things I did not know before. Despite all the trainings and courses I’ve taken in the past from other online entrepreneurs, I needed these specific actionable pieces. I also enjoyed the mindset strategies and holistic business approach that Elizabeth has taught us in the course itself and the Facebook community.”

Get Access to the Members-Only Community!
An exclusive Facebook community for designers just like you
I get it… Starting a business can be lonely and trying to figure everything out on your own is exhausting (and doesn’t work, by the way). So, I created the community I wish I had when I started my business 6 years ago. You’ll never feel alone in your business again with these guys and gals by your side.
- Ida Winstead
“The Facebook community and coaching calls were my favorite thing for sure! I didn't realize how much I was craving community after 2020. While I love working from home by myself, it can get isolating sometimes and being able to get a group of incredible friends to share wins and struggles with has been invaluable.”
Some Things That Make Our Community Unique...
Lots of courses include Facebook groups. #notgroundbreaking However, with most courses, you'll find that the course creator isn't actually active in the group. It's just members chatting with members. In our group, you'll find that I frequently share tips/advice and things I'm learning + I'll actually reply to your questions when I'm able to help! (Although I will say ... this isn't an "Elizabeth's Advice Group”. The other members have SO MUCH amazing advice to give you too!)
As your teacher, I'm *actually* involved...
This isn't some free Facebook group where you'll feel scared to ask tough questions because you don't want potential clients seeing. This is just for us designers.
Your dream clients aren't in there.
You’ll find designers from all different niches and different stages in their business. There are no mean girls here. Just a bunch of fellow business owners who want you to succeed.
There's a real community over competition spirit.
(Yes, like in Vegas!!) This is a place you can share the tough stuff with a community who gets it and is there to help. Plus, you get lifetime access to this community!
What happens in the group, stays in the group.
- Katy Boykin
“There's just something about being in a group of people who are pushing each other towards greatness and achieving similar goals. Honestly, everything in the course was exactly what I needed to catapult my website design business forward.”
"The Facebook community gave me the confidence to book clients at higher rates."
- Sierra Janisse
“It is amazingly refreshing to be able to talk with other website designers, brand designers, wedding invitation designers and all these creative amazing people that lift each other up in an encouraging and supportive way.”
"I love this course and I love being able to connect with the other students in the course as well."

Booked Out Designer might not be “cheap”, but it will show you how to get the results you’re after.
This isn’t some $297 course that only shares just enough, but still keeps the big wins a secret.
And, it’s not a course where the creator just teaches a bunch of random “frameworks” instead of what they *actually* did to succeed themselves.
This course is exactly what I did to build a 6-figure design business working with clients. And, it’s what I’m STILL doing to continue to grow my business. It’s a more fun, very practical version of an MBA, but created for designers. (Seriously, they don’t teach you this stuff in design school!)
PLUS… this course is FOR DESIGNERS. The advice isn’t generalized to “all service businesses”, but is specific to the unique needs of brand designers, web designers, illustrators, and stationery designers.
So, how much is my investment?
You can make back your investment in this course when you use the skills and techniques I'm teaching to book just ONE new, high-ticket client.
But seriously, most designers start making so much more money they swear they should have paid me way more for this course!
“I’m literally binging all the modules so far as I type this - so amazing. I would have paid double for the first module ALONE! This is the most amazing value, Elizabeth!”
- Sierra Janisse

Frequently Asked Questions
your biggest qs... answered.
Yep! You’ll save so much time by learning how to build your design business on a solid, streamlined foundation from the very beginning. Even if you’ve never had a client, you can put every single thing I teach into practice. If you’re in the beginning stages of building your design business and you want to become a booked out designer – this is the course for you!
Yep! This course is designed for designers who aren’t currently booking their dream clients, booking consistent clients, or making the money they want to be making in their business. Whether you’ve been in business for 6 months or 6 years, if that sounds like you, this is a good investment! Oh, and if you’re currently booked out but not hitting your income goals, you’ll also benefit from this program! Many of my students have been in business 5+ years and will tell you that this isn’t just “beginner content”.
Once you complete checkout, you’ll get a few (very excited) emails from me including your Kajabi login for the course, a new member survey, and a link to join our Facebook community.
From there, you can dive into the course content (start with ANY module you want!), introduce yourself to your new design friends, and tell me about how I can help you in the member survey.
You'll get access to the group coaching call schedule too as soon as you're in!
As you might know, I design websites on Showit. However, nothing in this course is about “how to use Showit '' specifically. Inside our community, you’ll find brand designers, website designers, stationery designers, and even professional illustrators. Plus, plenty of students who do other types of services like copywriting or photography. And, among our website designers, you’ll find people who work with everything from Showit to WordPress, Squarespace, Shopify, Wix, Webflow, and Kajabi!
If you’re a designer of any sort who works with clients, then you’ll find this program extremely helpful.
Absolutely — we’re a big fan of VIP Days over here (also called Design Intensives).
Everything in the course from the marketing strategies to networking, pricing and discovery calls all still applies to a VIP Day business model. (In fact, we have a lot of students who do VIP days.)
The client process I teach is structured for “bigger projects” that would typically last more than a month. However, you can apply all the principles to VIP Days too!
This is not a course about creating and selling website templates. (It’s also not a course about how to use Showit!) It’s about marketing your design business and booking out your calendar with high-paying, 1:1 clients. However, many of my students sell website templates too! The principles I teach can certainly be applied to a template business model, that’s just not what we focus on in the lessons.
If digital products are your long term goal, but you haven’t nailed down booking 1:1 clients at high prices, then THAT is your first step. What you learn in Booked Out Designer will put you on an excellent trajectory towards a scalable product business by teaching you how to book out and charge top-dollar for your one-on-one services first.
By becoming an in-demand, high-priced, booked out designer, you’ll create an audience to sell templates to BECAUSE you’re booked out and “expensive” to work with. (This is exactly how I built my template business to thousands of customers!)
The coaching call magic happens face-to-face on Zoom! You'll have the opportunity to ask Elizabeth questions about your business live. You’ll explain your question/need, then you and Elizabeth will chat about it. You can absolutely join the calls just to watch and learn without participating in the coaching if you prefer. All coaching calls will be uploaded to the portal 24 hours after the call.
I offer a 30-day money-back guarantee! I know that investing in your business can be a big decision. I’m also fully confident that the VALUE you’ll get from Booked Out Designer far outweighs the cost. To get the full scoop on this policy, click here.
As someone who started their design business almost right out of college, I can attest that you don't learn "business owning" skills in design school. This course will help you catapult your career post-grad whether you're freelancing on the side of another job or starting your business. So, YES. We do offer a discount to current college students and recent college graduates. Email us (hello@elizabethmccravy.com) to get discount info! You will have to provide proof of college enrollment or recent graduation to qualify.
