Dear Fastlaners,
PS: If you're extremely busy, just read the text in the bold.
I recently finished an online course teaching people how to set long-term, mid-term and short-term goals and achieve their dreams.
This is not some bullshit self-help scheme, but an actual breakdown of what I was experimenting with since 2016 - so I strongly believe in the value of the course.
The problem is, it got 0 sales yet, because I did not promote it.
During the two weeks I scheduled for the launch on January 1st, 2019, I personally mentored a friend to start her online-business so I had no other time, but the real reason was fear.
The truth is, I have no idea how to run a successful marketing.
I do not have an email list of relevant target group, I am not popular, people don't know me and I don't have any more money to spend.
By 10k goal I am not completely crazy however - in the summer I did 5.7k on the launch with my previous course, but I was already known on a popular website like this for over 6 years and the course was in-demand so the sales came in naturally.
Here's my current plan to execute:
#1 Record Facebook ad with a bait for a free video where people learn how to work best and avoid failure.
#2 Actually split the video into two parts, give one part for free on the landing page and the second after they sign-up with an email.
#3 The rest of the sales funnel is simply check-out page and then a course page - that is fully finished, working and ready to roll.
#4 I would get customers from paid FB and Google ads, and from my tiny little social media profiles.
My question for you is - how to build a steady flow of new customers without wasting so much money on paid advertising?
I already went through this many times and I do not want to build my social media profile nor YouTube channel. Anything basic is okay, but that's not my long-term vision nor my dream goal. The course is actually just a side-hustle, I am planning to raise money for a complete self-sustaining SaaS platform later this year.
