How Small Email Lists Can Drive Big Launch Results

Ready to make serious money with your online course, even with a tiny email list? 🚀

If you've been holding back on launching because you don't have thousands of subscribers, today's episode is your permission slip to take action now. The truth is, a small but engaged audience can actually convert BETTER than massive cold lists. Many course creators make the mistake of waiting for that magical 1K, 5K, or 10K subscriber milestone before launching, missing out on profits they could be making today.

In this episode, I break down my three-part framework for successful course launches that works regardless of list size. You'll discover why audience temperature matters more than audience size, how to craft offers that convert even without fancy marketing skills, and which funnel structures work best depending on your price point.

“The size of your audience matters far less than the quality of your relationships with them and how precisely your offer solves problems they're willing to pay for.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover why a warm audience under 1K can outperform a cold audience of 10K+ subscribers
  • Learn the three essential elements every profitable online course business needs
  • Transform your course features into compelling benefits that make prospects say “I need this!”
  • Match your funnel structure to your price point for maximum conversions
  • Start implementing weekly email strategies that prime your list for sales

Grab your favorite chai latte, put your feet up, and let's turn that small-but-mighty email list into a profit generator! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
