Deep dives
Diagnosing the Issue
If your online course isn't selling, the first step is to diagnose the issue. There are three potential root causes to consider: lack of traffic, lack of leads, or lack of sales. If you have no traffic, it means no one is discovering your course. You can check website analytics and social media views to determine if you have traffic. If you're getting traffic but no leads, it means people are not converting into leads or signing up for your email list. This can be resolved by improving the value proposition on your opt-in offer and effectively communicating the benefits to potential leads. Finally, if you have leads but no sales, your sales system may not be working. Focus on refining your marketing messages and clearly communicating the value of your course to potential buyers.
Solving the Visibility Issue
If lack of visibility is the issue, it is important to take a strategic approach rather than trying to be everywhere or making a big splash. In the early stages of validating your course idea, focus on direct connect promotion. Personally connect with leads in your immediate circle and engage in sales conversations. If you need larger batches of leads, leverage visibility strategies by partnering with brands or individuals who already have established audiences. This allows you to tap into their existing audience and promote your course effectively. For those with an established webinar or funnel, evergreen lead generation strategies become crucial. Utilize content marketing and optimize it for search engines to attract a steady flow of targeted traffic.
Connecting and Engaging for Effortless Sales
If your course is not selling despite having traffic and leads, the focus should shift to connecting and engaging with the right people. Building genuine connections and engaging in meaningful conversations is key in transforming leads into sales. Rather than pushing hard on sales tactics, take a step back and prioritize building relationships. Connect with the right people, engage with them, and make sure you are clearly communicating the value of your course. By understanding your target audience's desires, motivations, and perceived obstacles, you can tailor your messaging and effectively position your product as a solution. Connecting and engaging with your audience will lead to effortless sales.
