311: 10 Lessons I've Learned as a Course Creator (part 2)
Today’s solo episode is the second in a two-part series about the lessons I’ve learned as a course creator. I launched The Healthcasters course back in 2015, and it recently passed the $300K revenue mark. Those results are far more than I could have ever imagined, and as I’ve reflected, I realize that I have learned a lot through this journey. I hope some of my lessons learned will be helpful for you! Join me for today’s session where I’ll cover #6-10 of my top ten lessons learned.
Lessons learned as a course creator (#6-10)
- Social media marketing can be intimidating. Focusing on webinars makes more sense in many ways.
- Webinars magnify your strengths as a teacher.
- Webinars make it easy for viewers to sign up for your course.
- Webinars can be evergreen, and you can sprinkle in live ones whenever you want. (EasyWebinar makes the process simple. Check it out at www.sellingthecouch.com/easywebinar.)
- In webinars, focus on sharing your story, your WHY, and your expertise.
- “Low prices attract tire-kickers.”
- A higher price will make you want to over-deliver to your students.
- A higher price limits impulse buyers and attracts more of the students you want.
- Charging a higher price allows you to reinvest more money into better quality gear for the future.
- Don’t compete on price.
- Offering discounts and lower prices will affect the quality of your students.
- Consider offering time-limited bonuses, like a group coaching call, video series, etc., rather than offering discounts.
- Have an easy way to gather testimonials. (Check out testimonial.to at www.sellingthecouch.com/testimonial.)
- Students can choose a video or text testimonial about their experience.
- Separate your course success from your self-worth.
- Your course isn’t who you are, but it’s just one thing you do.
- Don’t compare your course success to someone else’s. “Comparison is poison.”
