BTB Episode 163 : How to Launch a Course in 2024

Expand Your Reach

filed in

with Till Founders Davey Jones, Ryan Akins and Jesse Morquecho

"If you want better conversion rates during your launch, you can't only focus on lead gen. You also have to qualify those leads. And that's why getting new leads to take an additional action like joining a Facebook group or watching a free video is so important before you ever put an offer in front of them."

In today’s episode, Till Agency cofounders Jesse Morquecho and Ryan Akins join Davey to discuss how they would launch a course in 2024. Using their favorite game (Settlers of Catan, anyone?) as an example, they tell you how they would generate leads, launch the product, and what they would do post-launch to get their product into as many hands as possible.

14:09 – Best ways to engage your audience
16:20 – Using Mighty Networks to qualify leads + sell
17:17 – Step 3: Beta Launch + gather testimonials
20:35 – How to avoid cannibalizing your sales
21:45 – Pre-sell to our list (at a discount)
23:10 – Are live webinars still worth it?
26:50 – Are webinar replays worth it? What are the alternate options?
29:15 – Should you run ads to your webinar?
30:25 – Should you do an open/close cart? How long should it stay open?
33:25 – What kinds of emails should you send?
37:50 – Should you run retargeting ads?
39:40 – What happens after the cart closes? How do you decide to do a downsell?
