The No-BS Guide to Launching Again After a Flop

When your launch ads crash and burn, your sales flatline, or everything you tried just didn't work, it's not time to pack up and become a barista in Bali (yet). 🚀

If you've ever stared at disappointing launch results wondering what went wrong, you're not alone. Even the most seasoned course creators have launches that tank. In this episode, I open up about my own $30,000 faceplant – spending months building my list for a launch that ultimately just broke even. But here's the truth: there's no such thing as a failed launch when you know how to analyze what happened and create your comeback plan.

Online course creators often focus on the wrong things when troubleshooting launches – obsessing over ad costs instead of examining the entire marketing ecosystem. I'll walk you through the three critical pillars that determine your launch success: audience temperature, offer irresistibility, and launch mechanism alignment. Plus, you'll get my honest, field-tested rescue plan to bounce back stronger than before.

“Launches are like reps at the gym. You're not going to get biceps from one push-up… There is such a thing as launch fitness.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why your audience, offer, and launch mechanism must work together as an ecosystem (and which one might be your weak link)
  • Learn my 5-step rescue plan for bouncing back after disappointing launch results
  • Find out why surveys and customer conversations are gold mines for your next launch
  • Understand the true metrics that determine if your ads actually “bombed” (it might not be what you think!)
  • Master the mindset shift that turns launch disappointments into valuable stepping stones

Grab your favorite cup of tea and join me for some tough love, real-world strategies, and the reminder that your setback is actually setting you up for your biggest comeback yet. ☕️
