The Good, The Bad, and The Real-World Launch Numbers You Need to See

Ready to peek behind the scenes of a successful online course launch and discover what actually moves the needle? 🚀

In this no-holds-barred episode, I'm pulling back the curtain and sharing the complete launch debrief of my recent A-Lister course. As course creators, we often see the highlight reels of others' launches but rarely get to see the real numbers, strategies, and even the missteps that happen along the way.

I remember how transformative it was for my own business when I first saw Denise Duffield-Thomas share her actual launch data and results. That transparency changed my entire approach to launching online courses. Today, I'm paying it forward by sharing my own launch journey – from the strategies that doubled my webinar show-up rates to the embarrassing timing mistake that put me in direct competition with a presidential inauguration!

“There's no right or wrong way to launch. Just do what you can with what you have. Show up and serve your audience.” ✨

🔥 In This Episode:

  • Discover the three essential phases of a successful launch and how to maximize each one
  • Learn how I spent $18,000 on ads and turned it into a highly profitable course launch
  • Uncover the simple email trick that skyrocketed my open rates and webinar attendance
  • Find out how I transformed my course positioning from what students need to what they actually want
  • See the exact numbers behind my 7% webinar conversion rate (and why I'm aiming for 10% next time)
  • Understand how one unfortunate calendar oversight impacted my final launch day results

Grab your favorite drink and a notepad – you'll want to capture these practical launch strategies you can implement right away! ☕️
