Who is The Warm Waitlist Week for?

Calling all Creative Entrepreneurs + Creators...

  • The Hidden Genius

    You’re sitting on a brilliant offer that deserves more than a last-minute launch post — it just needs the right audience to meet it with open arms.

  • The Spark-Seeker

    You’re craving clarity, structure, and a creative hit of momentum — not another rinse-and-repeat launch that leaves you feeling flat.

  • The Quiet Presence

    You’ve been showing up (kind of), but engagement is low and DMs are dry... your people need a reason to tune in and stick around.

  • The Almost-There Launcher

    You've got most of the pieces — the offer, the ideas, the to-do list — but what you really need is attention, anticipation, and energy before you open doors.

  • The Slow-Burner Ready to Ignite

    You’re done with soft launches that fizzle out. You want eyes on your work before you go live — and a waitlist full of warm leads, not maybes.

Hey! I'm Kels...

Hey! I'm Kelsey, founder of Coming Up Roses and self-proclaimed Squiggly Creative

I help creative entrepreneurs turn their skills into consistent sales (without the cookie-cutter marketing that makes us all cringe). Think strategic marketing campaigns that actually work for YOU, not some template you found on Pinterest.

After growing my creative studio to multiple six figures, I did the squiggly thing – I shut it down and pivoted to education. Why? Because I realized my real superpower is teaching other creatives how to sell their services in a way that feels gooood.

When I'm not helping creatives superbloom their sales, you'll find me at the beach with my son (still getting used to Christmas in summer here in Australia!), supporting creatives like you, or hosting creative events around the world.

I believe the only "right" way is your own way 🌱

Get in, it's warm 🔥

In The Warm Waitlist Week, you’ll have the strategy, structure, and spark you’ve been craving.

It’s the equivalent of having a launch-savvy hype squad in your DMs, handing you your iced oat latte and helping you map out a waitlist strategy that actually gets people excited to buy. It’s like your favorite co-working session meets a creative reset — with just enough structure to keep you moving and just enough support to remind you you’re not doing this alone.
