What are you selling?I have tested many online methods while spending close to a thousand bucks altogether on Facebook Ads and Google Ads with no success. I'm looking for a good book/source that isn't a 20 chapter sales pitch in disguise in order to try and sell you into their backend funnel, expensive webinar or coaching program.
On the inside there’s threads by @Lex DeVille on selling courses on Udemy, and @MTF on selling books on Amazon.
@Fox has/is selling a course(s). I’ve got a course and paid email newsletter, and progress threads for both.
@AllenCrawley has a thread on the inside about email marketing.
There’s a short thread about “Kajabi vs Teachable”.
There’s quite a few threads about YouTube.
I’m sure there’s other progress threads in here, and many short courses on Udemy.
...
Were you getting email signups from your ads, or going straight to a salespage?
What’s the price point for your digital product?
...
To sell a course, maybe check out the Thinkific, Teachable, and Kajabi sites. Since they provide platforms for course creators, maybe they have free courses to help people sell courses?
...
GrahamCochrane.com has some reasonable podcasts on it, and if nothing else you can at least study how he goes about marketing his course.
What I like about him is that he’s built a business selling courses for audio production first, and is now branching out into teaching people how to sell courses.
You may find his funnel is exactly what you are trying to avoid, but his podcasts do have some insights.
