Raw, Unfiltered Launch Insights That Most Course Creators Won't Share

Ready to see what a real course launch looks like – complete with the wins, the struggles, and all the messy bits in between? 🚀

Ever feel like everyone else's launches are picture perfect while yours feel like beautiful chaos? You're not alone! In this totally transparent episode, I'm lifting the curtain on our recent A-Lister launch to show you what really happens behind the scenes of a course launch. From expensive webinar registrations to surprisingly high conversion rates, I'm sharing every detail so you can learn from our experience.

No more comparing your behind-the-scenes to everyone else's highlight reel. This is the raw, unfiltered truth about what it takes to launch an online course in today's market – complete with real numbers, actual results, and the invaluable lessons we learned along the way.

“In marketing, everything is feedback from the market. And if a launch didn't go as you hoped it would, then that just means that you need to take that feedback on board.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the exact ad spend and results from each phase of our launch ($3,255 on list building alone!)
  • Learn why our “too cute too fast” marketing approach backfired with cold audiences
  • Understand the three crucial phases of any successful launch and how they work together
  • See how our warm audience significantly outperformed cold traffic (76% of sales came from warm leads!)
  • Get the real story behind our 17 total sales and $18,619 in revenue

Grab your favorite beverage and join me for this super honest deep-dive into what launching really looks like. Warning: Contains actual numbers, real struggles, and zero sugar-coating! ☕️

💚 💚 💚
