Make Money with Creator Ops | Amanda Northcutt

Amanda Northcutt is a six-time executive with 22 years of experience in consulting, startups, and marketing strategy. After leaving a high-paying Silicon Valley role, Amanda saw a gap: creators and subject matter experts with massive potential, but lacking the CEO-level operational expertise needed to scale. As co-founder and CEO of Level Up Creators and Level Up Creator School, Amanda now helps coaches and consultants build boutique, high-impact businesses that generate recurring revenue and generational wealth.

On this episode we talk about:

• Amanda’s journey from Silicon Valley to creator consulting—and why she left the tech world on her own terms

• The mission of Level Up Creators: helping experts and executives turn decades of business experience into thriving consulting and coaching firms

• Why most creators and consultants struggle with operations, productization, and scaling—and how Amanda’s team bridges that gap

• The ideal client profile: business experts (typically 40–60 years old) seeking legacy, impact, and a business they love for the next decade

• How to productize services, escape the “time-for-money” trap, and build a business that fits your life goals

• The importance of targeting painful, pervasive, urgent, and expensive problems for a specific audience

• How to stand out in a saturated market by developing a proprietary methodology and building deep trust with your audience

• Why high-ticket, high-touch, low-volume offers are the fastest path to impact and income for most experts

• The power of partner marketing, niche podcast guesting, and relationship-based lead generation

• How to structure partnerships and collaborations for maximum leverage and mutual benefit

• The mindset shift required to start over in a new field and build credibility from scratch

Top 3 Takeaways

1. Productize and Specialize: Focus on solving urgent, expensive problems for a specific audience with a clear, proprietary methodology—don’t try to be everything to everyone.

2. Go High-Ticket First: Start with high-touch, high-value offers before expanding into lower-ticket products or communities; this maximizes your impact and income with fewer clients.

3. Leverage Partnerships and Niche Media: Build relationships with peers, pursue partner marketing, and guest on niche podcasts to reach your ideal clients—don’t chase only the biggest platforms.
