Launch Series #2
One of the worst feelings in the online space is hitting publish on a new sales page and hearing crickets.
No mad rush of enrollments. No payment notifications. No one buying. Nada.
Unfortunately, it happens all the time.
Yes, zero-sale launches are a rite of passage and a “fail-forward” moment for entrepreneurs to get better with their offers and messaging. But we’d like to skip to the good part where launches actually get people buzzing with excitement, grow an email list, and generate a surge of sales.
So here’s how digital marketing assistants can help their clients avoid launch cricketville: Plan.
No surprise to you, if you’ve listened to the first episode of this Launching Podcast Series, planning is crucial. (Check out #140 I talk about being a Launch Manager. The rest of the series is coming next!)
Today’s guest, copywriter and pre-launch strategist, Brenna McGowan is here to help us make a solid, high-converting pre-launch plan.
Listen for Brenna’s gems on:
- How long to plan your launch runway so it works
- The 3 biggest mistakes online business owners make when launching
- Why it’s crucial to attract the right, fit & ready buyer
- Her 4A framework to why prelaunches work so well
- How virtual digital marketing assistants can help in a client’s prelaunch
You’ll walk away convinced of the power of prelaunch and knowing where to start with your pre-launch content. It’s not easy, but the work will pay off.
