A foolproof way to validate your digital course idea BEFORE launching
Did you know that I only made $267 in my first digital course launch?
I spent so much time, money, and energy into it, for just a couple hundred dollars.
One of the biggest mistakes leading to this low revenue launch was that I didn’t check if my course was something my audience would actually purchase.
It was a lesson learned the hard way, sweet friend, but a valuable one. And since then, I’ve come up with a framework to ensure that my course idea is something people will happily enroll in before I even create the first lesson.
I don’t want you to make the same mistake that I did all those years ago, so that’s why I’m sharing my “First Ten” strategy with you in this episode.
It’s something I teach in Module Two of Digital Course Academy, and I’ve found that it really sets my students up for success.
As a bonus, you’ll also hear directly from some of my star students who used this strategy when they created and launched their digital courses.
So if you have an incredible course idea but are unsure if it'll resonate with your Ideal Customer Avatar, then pop in your earpods and get ready to take some notes!
