The Boss Mom Podcast Planning a Launch That Puts Your Course on the Map w/Bevin Farrand
We're guaranteed to hit a ceiling at some point if we're just trading hours for dollars. We have to stop limiting ourselves to just one income stream, especially if that stream depends on our constant attention.
Online courses are a key way for entrepreneurs to make money with relatively little input, because once they're created we can continue to sell them for years to come. That being said, for the best results we have to think about our marketing strategies.
How can we promote our courses effectively, so we can make money from the same content over and over again? Is there a way to make our launches more seamless?
In this episode, CEO of Collaborate.Work, Bevin Farrand shares the secrets to a successful course launch.
Have an overarching plan. It's easier to shift things around when you know what you're going to do. -Bevin Farrand
3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode
The importance of knowing what we're working towards:
When creating a product, it's vital to have an overarching goal in mind. Be conscious of what's being created and what we can expect to see as a result.
How to stop leaving money on the table:
Every piece of communication we share about our products brings in revenue, so by forgetting to send even one email, we're losing money. To combat this, plan communication strategies in advance. Planning doesn't mean we'll never miss anything, but it does make it less likely.
How to build a buzz around our courses:
To generate attention for our launches, the content we share in the build-up needs to tell a story. Seeding the product hooks our audience so by the time we launch, we've already got willing customers.
