The Currency Dilemma That's Secretly Sabotaging Your Sales (And How to Fix It)
Ready to solve the pricing puzzle that keeps global course creators up at night? 🚀
If you've ever stared at your sales page wondering whether to price in USD, your local currency, or hide under a blanket because currency decisions feel impossible, you're not alone. I see this question blow up Facebook groups weekly, and the “it depends” answer everyone gives isn't helping you make money.
The truth is, your currency choice isn't just about conversions – it's about positioning, presence, and long-term sustainability. While USD might seem like the obvious choice for global reach, local currency pricing can boost conversions by 45% with your home market. But here's what most course creators miss: you don't have to choose sides in this currency war.
In this episode, I'm breaking down the real data behind currency psychology, sharing strategies that let you serve both global and local markets without confusing buyers, and revealing why your pricing choice is actually your positioning statement to the world.
“US customers are not used to seeing prices in other currencies, and it doesn't convert well when you put a different currency in front of a US customer. But pricing in your local currency can build belonging, loyalty, and a solid foundation that secures your business.” ✨
🔥 In This Episode:
- Discover why USD is the “default setting of the internet” and when it makes sense for your course
- Learn the 45% conversion lift secret that local currency pricing delivers (and when to use it)
- Master the visual flag strategy that eliminates buyer confusion with multi-currency pricing
- Understand how your pricing choice positions your brand as either global or local-focused
- Get the exact tools and strategies for seamless international payment processing
Grab your coffee and settle in – this strategy session will transform how you think about pricing forever! ☕️
