(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nPer Glossy, Saie debuted 'The Makeup Class' in 2024, an in-person masterclass program that toured New York, Toronto, and London, inviting creators and community members to participate.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): a masterclass removes the 'influencer' middleman and turns the customer into the teacher. Film a 90-minute class with 30-50 attendees, provide product, charge $0-50 per ticket, and ship the video and attendee testimonials as content for 12 months. The real value is not the ticket revenue — it's that attendees now have a reason to post about the brand (they learned something). Book a 1,500-sq-ft studio, set a cap at 40 people, lock in 3 makers' assistants to demo-ing live, and charge $25 per seat. Film the demo reel, release clips weekly on TikTok for 3 months.\nWhat that means for you: Most brands send free product to creators and hope for a post. Saie said: we'll teach the skill, and that teach creates advocates. That's a different engine. A person who attended the class is not a one-off customer — they're someone who internalized the brand's point of view. They'll come back, spend more, and bring a friend because they have permission to talk about it (they learned it). The masterclass doesn't scale on paid media — it scales on earned media from attendees.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — Glossy: https://www.glossy.co/beauty/saie-bets-on-education-with-the-makeup-class-to-create-new-brand-superfans/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
