The 4-Week Business Mastermind to Get Off Social Media & Grow Through Actual Connection
Starts July 7th
Only $222 $111
50% Off. No Coupon Needed.
You’ve sat in classes and masterminds where your ideas were met with stares and strained smiles.
“Ooh that’s really out there” the coach said, while advising everyone to make their hooks tighter and put out hot takes like “people should judge you by your appearance.” (That’s real, btw.)
Good news: That advice was never meant for you.
You already have the creativity, uniqueness, nerve, and talent to stand out online. And you're doing it!
But managing every part of your business alone or with your tiny team is tiring.
And seeing a bunch of beige blondes blow up makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong.
You’re not. And you don’t have to do it alone anymore.
Weird Sisterhood Summer is a 4-week business mastermind for weird girls (of all genders) who want actual connection outside of social media.
You're not...
- Learning “my signature 10 step method for $100 million overnight.”
- Told to post more and yap to camera.
- Abandoned to a Facebook group where the only comments are “where is the Zoom link” and “I’ll keep it brief **writes an Infinite Jest length post about 30 years of trauma**
- Work with driven, brilliant creatives to find collabs, promo swaps, podcast spots, etc
- Connect with complimentary businesses to get new ideas and out of your industry bubble
- Use only Zoom and email, so no unnecessary apps or never-ending notifications
- A group where you belong.

How Does Weird Sisterhood Summer Work?
Running July 7th - 31st, you'll connect through the Weird Business Buddy System, 2 live calls, and an old school digest with a Personal section. Not the Craigslist kind.
- Weird Business Buddy System: I personally pair you up with another member of the group. You'll talk one on one (through phone, text, email, whatever's easiest), help each other with a tiny weird marketing task, and make a real connection with a human being.
- Live Zoom Call to Outsource Ideas: Get new ways to find your audience from this diverse group of geniuses. In past groups, this alone led to spots on podcasts, advertising swaps, speaking engagements, and super successful ideas you never would have come up with on your own.
- Live Zoom Call for Weird Marketing Coaching: Use my 5 years in business and 8 years in marketing to get through "but is it too expensive?" and other business blocks. Plus, you'll find ways to be more weird to get an even bigger audience.
- Support Through the Personals - Instead of chatting on a Telegram everyone forgot about, you'll ask for what you need and I'll put it in the weekly email digest. Whether you're looking for someone to meet up with for coffee, help deciding on a new piece of software, advice on agents, splitting a booth at a new marketplace, or tasks you want to pay or barter for - put it in the Personals. Everyone in the group will see it and anyone interested will reach out. Plus, you get to practice asking for things, something I guarantee you're terrible at. No judgement. Just facts.
Bonus: Creative Marketing Menu
When you aren't sure what to do for marketing, just select an item off the menu.
Even if you only have 5 minutes, no energy, or you can't face another reel - the Creative Marketing Menu makes sure your business keeps moving and your "let me give you money" clients can find you.
"Amber is so freaking relatable and has this uncanny ability to get to the bottom of issues where I feel stuck. She makes suggestions, shares stories that make it obvious she's been there, and the fact that I can still do this during weeks when I find it hard to get out of bed, gives me renewed hope in my business."
- Mycala Kembring, Writer/Artist/Creator of the Traversing Tuesday Podcast
Who Is This For?
If you're a little (or a lot) alternative, unusual, or feel out of place in the online business world - hooray!
You're weird!
Ideally, there'll be a fun range of industries.
Tarot readers, midlife coaches, goth jewelry makers, witchy journalers, stationary makers, romantasy authors, creatives selling yoga retreats, book influencers, geniuses with newsletters, memoirists, writing coaches, indie publishers, goddesses who make astrology journals, and more.
It's easy to get stuck in your industry bubble and do the same things over and over.
This group will pop the bubble and unleash more weird onto the internet.
What all Weird Sisters have in common...
You're driven to grow your business and help others grow too.
Not like a group project in high school where you roll your eyes and end up doing all the work.
Where you give and receive equally.
With real support and care from people who know exactly what it's like.
The characters starting from the Top Left:
Anne of Green Gables, Elphaba from Wicked, Lisa Simpson
Nancy from the Craft, Wednesday Addams, Daria from Daria
Endora from Bewitched, Lydia from Beetlejuice, Peggy Olsen from Mad Men
This mastermind is your jam, even if you...
- Don't have a lot of extra time - We don't either! Between talking to your Buddy, going to both calls (optional), and reading/responding to the Digest, this is less than 1 hour a week.
- Get shy in groups - I once panicked so hard at a party, I walked through the whole house, then out the door to my car without talking to anyone. Whether you're shy and quiet or feel like you talk too much - you'll get along great. The combo of group and one on one pairs gives all introverts, extraverts, and sort-of-both-averts time to shine.
- Not as "far along" as other business owners - Have you made sales? Are you actively working on your business? Congrats! You have something to add. Expertise comes from everywhere. So your summer working at a dive bar 20 years ago or patience with watching 6 episodes of Paw Patrol in a row can give someone an insight they never would have found on their own.
Who is this NOT for?
- Haven't made sales in your business: If you haven't started yet or haven't made a sale, you can join us next time. If you're re-starting a business or starting something new after a break - that's fine. This just isn't for people who have never made a sale.
- Hate responding to emails: If you get annoyed every time you get an email, skip this. You'll get an email once a week, plus reminders of live calls.
- Don't respond within 3-4 days: You don't need to be glued to your inbox, but your Weird Business Buddy shouldn't have to wait a week to hear from you. If a "got this, I'll take more time to read in a couple days" can't happen, don't sign up.
- Are a jerk who hates helping people - This never happens, but it's here just in case.
"Working with Amber always feel like you're getting the no bullshit version, and this was no different.
I loved it, even just when I was catching up on replays."
-Karlie Herndon, writer/curator/literary Phd

What happens after Weird Sisterhood Summer?
- Loads of new subscribers from your connections in the group
- New sales with techniques you never tried before
- Bevy of new podcast appearances, speaking, and workshop spots lined up
- Creatives you can turn to when your business needs a hand
Wait, who's doing this?
It's me, Amber Petty.
I went from failed actress to failed business owner to 13,000 subscribers and 5 years of making $10K a month at least - all by being more weird.
From speaking in an Irish accent all day on St. Patrick's Day in 2nd grade to liking Phantom of the Opera over the Spice Girls, I've always been the weird one.
As my business grew, I looked for groups that really fit. Though I studied with wonderful people (and still do), it felt like the creative oddballs had no real home.
So I'm making one.
Weird girls in business can truly change the world.
Give people options to buy outside of billion dollar corporations. Create jobs that run on humanity, not "how much can I squeeze out of each worker."
Your business making good money will help you, your family, your community, and who knows how many other people.
And if we do it together? Hot damn.
That's some real change, despite our messed up times.
Also, everybody in the group will be fascinating, so it'll be worth it for the Zoom chat alone.
I know it's summer. It's July. But if you have 1 hour a week (max) to work on your business, this is the place to be.
"Amber's messages of showing up as your weird authentic self and making it fun are so refreshing and it's a reminder that there is no right way and that who frickin' cares if you break some made up rule because who in the heck even made up the rule in the first place?!"

Questions? Answers!
When are the live calls?
The Live calls will be:
- Tuesday July 7th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 6pm UK (this is an optional kickoff call)
- Tuesday July 14th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 6pm UK (Outsource Ideas Call)
-Tuesday July 28th at 10am PT/ 1pm ET/ 6pm UK (Weird Marketing & What Next Call)
All on Zoom.
The calls will all be recorded if you can't be there live.
Is it worth it if I can't make every call?
Maybe? The first call is totally optional, I just like having calls on the first day.
If you can make one of the other calls, you'll still get tons from the mastermind.
Plus, you can ask questions via email and ask for whatever you need in our weekly email.
How much is this?
Normally $222 but for this first round it's 50% Off - $111
Is this only good for Americans?
Nope! We already have members signed up from Ireland, the UK, and Croatia, so there'll be people from everywhere.
On a similar call, 2 US Expats living in Berlin met on the call. They didn't know each other till Zoom and now they're in person business friends.
Do I need to have a business?
Yes. A business that's making sales. If you want to make more sales - great! But your business needs to be established.
How will I get to know the other people?
In a few different ways. Including:
-Getting paired with your Weird Business Buddy
-Talking to everyone in the chat (or on mic) in the live calls
-Through asks/responses to the Personals
-Being listed in the Weird Sisterhood Directory. Your site plus social media and contact of choice will be available to everyone.
How much money will I make from this group?
I don't know. Possibly nothing. Or, a bunch of people in the course itself could buy your stuff. Or you could meet someone, do an event together and make $10k a piece. Or you could meet someone, they become your business best friend and you keep each other going when things suck. Though it doesn't pay off at first, the fact you never quit pays off in dividends. Or you could quit your business the day after signing up.
If you need to make money fast - this is not the group for you.
Yes, we all want to make money fast, but if you're thinking "I need this to work to make rent this month!" - it's not a fit.
I have another question. What should I do?
Email me at Amber@Amberpetty.com and I'm happy to answer anything.
