Episode notes
I'm often asked questions about Digital product creation and launching from my community, so in today's episode I delve into a series of questions around these topics that came out of my recent audience survey
In this episode, I answer the following questions:
1. What are the most profitable and most popular digital products? (@ 02:44)
2. How do you figure out what to start with? What’s the best way to start?(@ 04:40)
3. How to know your idea is a good one? (@ 07:22)
4. How to build an audience and warm them up effectively before you pitch your offer? (@ 08:12)
5. How good does the product need to be to launch? How will I know if the product needs improvement or if the marketing needs improvement? (@ 10:55)
6. Should it be video and if so what setup? In recording videos for a course, what camera and lighting is needed? (@ 12:53)
7. Should I launch a micro offer before I have a full suite of offers? (@ 15:59)
8. How much money is needed to launch? (@ 17:24)
9. Why do I wait til the last minute to organize my launch even though I know I need a runway that’s longer than 4 weeks? (@ 19:35)
10. How do you decide between whether to create a course that's completely hands-off, vs a coaching element where you provide support and weekly calls etc? (@ 21:46)
11. How often to speak about it? (@ 25:04)
12. How often do you create new products, and stop selling old ones? (@ 26:52)
13. How can I stand out in a crowded marketplace? (@ 29:25)
14. Are there any free but legit platforms instead of Kajabi? (I'm thinking of Trello!) (@ 32:01)
15. What do you do for social proof in the beginning if you've never sold the course before? (@ 33:04)
16. How do you know if people will actually pay for your program or if there's already a ton of the same stuff out there and you won't be able to get traction? (@ 34:59)
17. How do you decide whether to just target your own country (I'm in Aust as well) or go international? (@ 36:06)
18. Can you pre-sell the course and build it as you go, once people have actually bought it? (@ 37:49)
19. Does it need to be a live product? (ie. attend meetings with me) Can it be a passive product? (ie. purchase tutorials etc online with little involvement from me) (@ 39:29)
20. How long does it take to launch? (@ 40:20)
