    318. $1.1 Million Dollar Launch Debrief (Uncommon Tactics That Outperformed Industry Averages)

    In the spring of 2025 — with a small but mighty email list of 3,000 — Callan Faulkner pulled off a $1.1 million launch for her 10-week AI course, Automate to Accelerate. She enrolled 197 clients at an average cart value of $5,000, with conversion rates far above industry norms. So what made it work? Callan’s willingness to out-teach and out-deliver her competitors. Across 18 hours of live training, 19 high-value emails in 5 days, and a Bootcamp structure designed to deepen intent, she turned traditional launch tactics into a marketing marathon that paid off big. In this case study style launch debrief, you’ll hear how she blends paid bootcamps, no-slide-deck masterclasses, alumni-driven sales calls, and relentless audience education to create record-breaking results.

    317. Building a 30K+ Community in 2 Years Through Sold Out Events

    In just two years, Miss EmpowHer grew into a 30,000+ member community — without spending a cent on ads. Using offline experiences to drive digital momentum, founder Caitlyn Kumi scaled Miss EmpowHer from a personal side project into a national women’s empowerment community. By curating FOMO-worthy events that doubled as content engines, Caitlyn turned real-life connections into explosive online growth. This resulted in five sold-out NYC events, $10K+ in sponsorships from brands like Covergirl, and a private membership club that grew a 1,000-person waitlist in just three months. In this case study, Caitlyn reveals the event strategies that powered this exponential community growth.

    315. The $50K “Sold Out Party” Strategy With a 90% Close Rate

    In this data-rich case study, we examine how marketing coach Michelle Vroom sold out a brand new program in 30 days with a 90% close rate. Michelle’s tested strategy that powered this $50K launch? Hosting a private “Sold Out Party” for her warmest leads (existing clients in her program), where repeat clients claimed half the seats before the offer even went public. By testing her messaging with this inner circle, Michelle uncovered she was targeting the wrong buyers, and a single shift helped her attract premium clients from this existing group who paid in full and closed fast. Once opened to the public, the rest of the seats were filled through another simple content strategy — no formal launch, sales page, or funnel required.

    314. $17.5K in 72 Hours: Launching Exclusively Through Close Friends on Instagram Stories

    Today’s case study is one of the most creative launch strategies we’ve covered this year. Brittany Roberts sold out a new VIP group program and generated $17,500 in revenue in 72 hours through Instagram’s Close Friends feature. Here’s how it worked: over 250 people opted into a three-day private training series by requesting to be added to Brittany’s Close Friends on Instagram, and then tuned in daily to her Instagram stories. At the end of the 3 day mini-series, she pitched her offer only to that Close Friends list. No public posts or email sequences. With buying cycles getting longer and traditional launch strategies like webinars and 7-10 days of follow-up sales emails leaving entrepreneurs burnt out, Brittany’s results show what’s possible when you simplify your sales process, create proximity and exclusivity with your audience, and strategically position free content to lead to your paid solution.
