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.

What to do in the 90 days before your launch—without annoying your followers and subscribers
When I tell people a launch needs to be 90 days, they're usually shocked — surely you can't talk about your product for 90 days without really annoying your subscribers and followers?! But, there's so much more to a launch, well beyond what your product is actually about. In today's episode, I'm sharing more about what to do in the 90 days before opening doors to a launch.
- The importance of crafting and validating your messaging and your offer rather than *guessing* what problem you solve and who you solve it for.
- Why focusing on growing your audience—especially your email list—will help to build your audience with the *right* people for your offer.
- Why educating and nurturing your audience makes up the bulk of your launch content.
- The different types of "things" you need to get ready for your launch, such as your sales page, cart open emails, webinar etc.

4 rules to break in your next launch for more profit
There's all kinds of marketing rules out there in the online world that tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing when it comes to getting your offers out there. But the thing is—those one-size-fits-all rules don't take into consideration where you're at and where you want to go. In today's episode, I'm sharing 4 of these rules you can break in your next launch to make more profit.
- Why chasing your goals every moment of every day may not be the best choice for you and your business (and what you can do instead).
- The importance of doing what's right for you—consistently.
- Why outdated marketing fads like building hype and excitement just don't work anymore (did they ever really work in the first place?).
- Why launching is about helping people make a decision—not flooding them with value to convince them to buy.

Do launches still work in this economy? Here's what you need to know
Yes. Launches *do* still work, but you do need to adjust your expectations. Things are different in today's online world because the "fads" no longer work. Instead, you need to learn *how* to sell in this economy—otherwise you won't make sales. In today's episode, I'm sharing what you need to know—like the things that *do* sell your offers.
- Why launching is a sales process that you can repeat over and over again.
- How jumping on board with the latest fads doesn't work—especially in today's economy.
- Why focusing on the things that *do* sell, like bridging the Magician's Gap and refining your messaging, will also help your audience to have what they want.
- Why people are more discerning with where they spend their money and when.
