    Stop Selling Features: Why Transformation Is the Key to Selling Your Online Offer

    In this episode, I explore a powerful shift that can completely change the way you market your offer: prioritising the transformation you deliver rather than the details of the offer itself. In a crowded online space where people are constantly bombarded with features and promises, what truly stands out is a clear, compelling result. It’s not about what’s included - it’s about what changes. I explain this using my “two mountains” analogy, showing how your audience starts on one mountain (their current struggles and frustrations) and wants to reach another (their desired outcome). Your offer is simply the bridge between the two, but too often we focus on selling the bridge instead of the view from the top. I also share practical examples - like how airlines market the destination, not the flight and highlight how testimonials and case studies help prove that the transformation you promise is genuinely possible. If your marketing hasn’t been converting the way you’d hoped, this episode will help you refocus on the real driver of sales: the meaningful change you help people achieve.   3 Key Takeaways: Market the transformation, not the product People don’t buy modules, calls, or features, they buy the result those things help them achieve. Meet your audience on their first mountain Your messaging should clearly speak to where they are now, what’s not working, and what they truly want instead. Use proof to make the transformation tangible Testimonials and case studies bridge belief gaps and show your audience that the journey from pain to possibility is absolutely achievable.   LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list,  Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube   Transcript In a world where we have got more content than we know what to do with, and AI can produce us a course five seconds flat.

    My Honest Take on the Changes Happening in Online Business

    In this episode, I’m sharing my honest perspective on the recent shifts happening in the online business space and why so many people are feeling anxious about them. With well-known industry leaders making big changes and new conversations popping up everywhere, it can feel tempting to question your own strategy or wonder if you’re doing something wrong. I talk about why it’s so important to stop making business decisions based on what others are doing and instead look at your own data, your own enjoyment, and what’s actually working for you. I also unpack how major events like COVID and the rapid rise of AI have permanently changed the online landscape and why change itself isn’t a sign that something is broken. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to evaluate your business through the lens of your current stage, not someone else’s. What works for a creator who’s years ahead of you may not make sense for where you are right now. This episode is a grounding reminder that your business gets to be built on intention, clarity, and informed choice, not fear or industry noise.   3 Key Takeaways: Your business decisions should be data-driven and personal Just because a well-known name changes direction doesn’t mean you should. Your numbers, your goals, and your enjoyment matter most. The online space is evolving—and that’s normal From COVID to AI, the industry has shifted in big ways. Change doesn’t mean failure; it means adaptation. Context matters more than comparison Always evaluate advice and trends through the stage of business you’re in, not the stage someone else is at.   LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list,  Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube   Transcript There has been a lot of talk in the online space recently because a couple of the very big players in the online space have made decisions to change things in their business. I am not jumping on the bandwagon of talking about this because I know it might get me clicks or might get me views. In fact, I'm not even gonna name the people who have made the changes, but I am going to address it because I think when something like this happens, there is a lot of people who have a lot of opinions and I have been asked my opinion, and there's a lot of fear that's spread in the online space about it's not working anymore or. This means something. So I want to do a really short, quick episode about my thoughts when things like this happen in the online space and what do I...

    How to Validate Your Offer Before You Sell It

    In this episode, I’m walking you through four essential questions I use to validate an offer before bringing it to market. If you’ve ever launched something that didn’t convert the way you hoped—or you’re in the process of refining an idea - this episode will help you pressure-test your offer before you invest more time, energy, or money.   I break down how to make sure your ideal customer actually recognizes the problem your offer solves, why using their language (not yours) is critical for conversion, and how to tell if this is a problem they’ve already tried—and failed—to fix on their own. These insights help you move beyond assumptions and into real market alignment.   I also talk about the importance of desire and delivery—making sure your audience truly wants the outcome you’re offering and that the format of your offer supports fast, meaningful transformation. Whether you’re a course creator, membership owner, or coach, these questions will help you create offers that feel clear, compelling, and easy to say yes to.   3 Key Takeaways:   Problem awareness drives sales If your audience doesn’t clearly recognize the problem, they won’t buy—no matter how good your solution is.   Language creates connection Using the exact words your audience uses builds trust and makes your offer instantly feel relevant and understood.   Desire + delivery matter An offer must solve a problem people want solved and be delivered in a way that feels simple, focused, and transformation-driven.   LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list,  Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube   Transcript If you've been watching these videos for a while, you'll know that I will often talk about a failed launch. Doesn't mean that you have a terrible product or you need to change the offer. However, in today's video I want to talk to you about how do you know that you actually have an offer that will sell, and I'm gonna give you four questions that you can ask yourself to validate your offer and be confident that it's the right one for you and your audience. If we've not met, my name is Theresa Heath Waring and I help course creators, membership owners, and coaches grow their online business. And honestly, I geek out on this stuff. I love it. I joke that I watch launches like other people watch Netflix series. And this is what I eat, sleep, and breathe. So it brings me so much joy to bring the podcast and the YouTube videos and give you real strategic, tactical advice on how...

    How AI Is Really Changing the Online Business Industry

    In this episode, I’m exploring the role of AI in online business growth—and how to use it without losing what makes you unique. I talk about how AI can support faster content creation, simpler systems, and more personalized marketing when used intentionally. I also unpack the challenges AI brings, including over-commoditized content, increased competition, and the risk of expertise feeling diluted. We look at why more content isn’t the answer—and what actually helps you stand out. Finally, I share practical strategies to navigate this shift with confidence, focusing on delivering real transformation, grounding your work in lived experience, and strengthening your personal brand so your expertise remains clear and trusted.   3 Key Takeaways: AI can accelerate growth—but it can’t replace expertise AI is powerful for execution and efficiency, but your lived experience, insight, and judgment are what create real value. Tools don’t build trust—people do. Over-commoditized content makes transformation the differentiator When content is everywhere, results matter more than information. Focusing on clear, fast wins helps your audience experience your expertise—not just consume it. Personal branding builds trust in an AI-heavy world Your voice, stories, and perspective are what set you apart. The stronger your personal brand, the easier it is for people to choose you—even in a crowded market.   LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list,  Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook, Subscribe to my Youtube   Transcript AI has changed the online space as we know it, but is it all good or are there some things that we need to look out for?

    Not Sure What to Charge? Start With These 5 Pricing Considerations

    In this episIn this episode, I’m tackling one of the questions I get asked all the time by course creators, membership owners, and coaches: How do I know if my offer is priced correctly? Pricing isn’t just about picking a number that feels good—it’s about making sure your price supports your entire business, your audience, and the way you want people to move through your offers. I walk you through five key considerations to help you evaluate whether your pricing actually makes sense, not just for one offer, but for your full ecosystem. We talk about why pricing decisions should never be made in isolation, how to think about different customer levels, and why an Ascension model can create more ease, clarity, and sustainability in your business. I also share how intentional pricing can help your customers confidently move from one offer to the next—without confusion or resistance. This episode is strategic, grounded, and designed to help you feel more confident setting prices that serve both you and your audience.ode, I’m tackling one of the questions I get asked all the time by course creators, membership owners, and coaches: How do I know if my offer is priced correctly?

My pricing needs to make sense in relation to everything else I sell. Different levels of customers need different pricing Not everyone is ready for the same level of support or investment. When I price with awareness of beginner, intermediate, and advanced buyers, I serve my audience better—and sell more effectively. An Ascension model creates clarity and momentum When my pricing helps people naturally move from one offer to the next, I’m not just making sales—I’m guiding transformation. Clear pathways build trust and long-term growth. LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY’S EPISODE Connect with Teresa on a href="https://teresaheathwareing.com/" target="_blank"...

    How Carrie Green Got 44,000 Sign-Ups (Launch Breakdown + What Worked)

    In this episode, I sit down with Carrie Green, founder of the Female Entrepreneur Association, to unpack what really goes into a successful launch in today’s online business landscape. We take an honest look at her recent launches, including what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons she’s learned by launching again and again in a fast-moving space. We talk about the role of ads in boosting visibility and growth, why introducing paid elements earlier can strengthen a launch, and how maintaining your energy across multi-session experiences is just as important as your strategy behind the scenes. Carrie also shares how she uses urgency and scarcity without pressure, while building systems that make each launch feel more effortless over time. We also explore why testing and adapting is essential for traction, and how Carrie leans into systems and AI to simplify content creation and delivery—especially when balancing live sessions, community engagement, and personal well-being. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Launch strategies are living, breathing things — not one-and-done blueprints Carrie reminded me that no two launches are the same, and what worked last time might need tweaking next time. Staying curious, testing ideas, and adapting your approach is where real evolution happens. 2. Paid elements and strategic urgency matter early When I introduce paid elements earlier in a launch — instead of waiting until the very end — it can validate demand and build momentum. Combining that with thoughtful urgency and clear deadlines helps people make decisions without feeling pressured. 3. Systems and energy management are launch superpowers Getting clear on repeatable systems — from content planning to AI-assisted drafting — doesn’t just make launches easier, it protects your energy. And in launch land, saving your energy = staying present with your audience.

    The 3 Sales Emails You Can’t Skip During a Launch

    In this episode, I’m diving into one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of a successful launch: the emails you send while your cart is open. If you want more sales, more engagement, and fewer crickets during your launch, these emails matter more than you think. I break down the three essential sales emails I believe every launch needs—and exactly why they work. We talk about how to handle objections before they stop someone from buying, how to connect emotionally with your audience so they feel seen and understood, and how to clearly communicate the benefits of your offer (not just the features). I also share why every email needs a clear call-to-action and how to make sure you’re guiding your subscribers instead of leaving them confused or overwhelmed. This episode is practical, strategic, and designed to help you feel more confident hitting “send” during your next launch. 3 Key Takeaways: Objections don’t disappear unless I address them If I don’t proactively answer my audience’s concerns, doubts, and fears, they’ll default to not buying. Objection-handling emails remove friction and make decisions easier. Emotion drives action more than logic People don’t buy because of information alone—they buy because they feel understood. When I lead with emotion and connection, my audience is far more likely to take action. Benefits sell, features support Features explain what my offer includes, but benefits explain why it matters. When I focus on the transformation instead of the content, my sales emails land much more powerfully.
