Why building an online business is not a linear journey: Behind the scenes with Launch Magic students
"Prior to Launch Magic, I thought you just had a little cart button on your website and people would just press "buy". I had no idea that you had to take them through a journey before they would be ready to buy". Sound familiar? This is soooo common! In today's episode, I'm asking the big questions in a live Q&A panel that I ran with some former Launch Magic students who are all in different businesses and at different stages.
- How enrolling in Launch Magic helped students to clarify their programs and how to launch them.
- Why following a structured launch process helps to nurture your audience and provide them with the information that they need to make a decision to buy—even if you've already launched before.
- How launching can be successful, regardless of where you're starting from.
- The mental and strategic challenges that many business owners face when launching digital products (like confidence, audience building and messaging).
- How being a part of a supportive community can help you to stay accountable and committed to finally getting your online course, program or membership off the ground.

(Masterclass) How to tweak your launch strategy to make more sales in a tough economy
Even though the economy is tough, people are still spending money. They're just being a lot more discerning about *where* they spend it—meaning that your messaging and content needs to show them why they need to spend money on your offer, right now.
In today's episode, I'll help you uncover the key shifts to sell your online course, program or membership even when it feels like the economy (and the algorithms) are stacked against you.
- How uncovering common content and messaging mistakes can help you to sell more of your offers (instead of limiting your sales).
- The shifts you need to make to make more profit in your next launch—based on what's working right now, not what worked two years ago.
- How understanding what sells (and what doesn’t sell) in a tough economy means you can share content that delivers great value to your audience *and* sells your offer at the same time.
- The simple strategy for launch content that sells without feeling sales-y.

Inside Launch Magic: Real stories from my students
You can spend forever trying to piece together everything you need to launch your program from the free information that's out there. But you don't *really* get the actual information to help you launch until you buy. So, you are always just going to be getting told more and more things about the problem that you have.
In today's episode, I'm talking to previous Launch Magic students because sometimes the best way to know whether a program is going to be a good fit for your particular situation is to listen to the experiences of other people who have been in that situation:
- How launching your offer (whether you've just got an idea, or you've already launched before) is totally possible regardless of where you're at in your business.
- The common problems these students were having before they did Launch Magic.
- The experience each of these Launch Magic students had as they worked their way through the program.
- Find out how their launches unfolded and the results they had along the way.

Here's how Eliska launched her first offer with just 20 subscribers and 200 followers
Eliska is an e-commerce store owner who started coaching other e-commerce business owners, and soon found herself fully booked. She wanted to create a digital product offer, but thought her audience was too small. She decided to do Launch Magic anyway and her first launch was a success! In today's episode, I chat with Eliska about her journey through Launch Magic despite a tiny audience and not much time on her plate.
- How identifying a specific problem for a specific niche helped Eliska to create a successful offer to solve that problem.
- Why launching before you create an offer can help you to test a new offer first.
- Why launching isn't just for traditional online courses, group programs or memberships and what you can do instead.
- How staying focused on the problem your offer solves keeps the content helpful, relevant and streamlined.
- Why warming up your audience and addressing their hesitations in your free content can take your launch to the next level.

4 signs your launch audience is the wrong one for your offer—and what to do instead
4 signs your launch audience is the wrong one for your offer—and what to do instead
Not everyone who follows you, or subscribes to your email list, will be right for your offer. But launching is all about guiding your audience on a journey to be *ready* to buy from you. So, how do you figure out if they're just not ready yet, or if they're the wrong people in the first place? In today's episode, I'm sharing how you can identify the wrong people for your offer, and what you can do instead.
- The difference between a messaging problem and an audience problem.
- Why having subscribers unsubscribe from your email list is a blessing in disguise!
- How sometimes it's more about *them* and where they're at than it is about your offer.
- The challenge of selling a DIY offer to an audience who wants you to do it for them.
