Key Takeaways:

• People want accountability and support. They want to have access to the creator and the person they’re learning from, live on calls.~ Devin Butler [19:05]

• “I believe the best way to scale any kind of info product offer is by giving away a portion of it for free."~ Devin Butler [22:34]

• Look at what’s working, what people are making money from online, and figure out how you can do it better by adding your unique twist.~ Devin Butler [29:26]

• Sometimes, especially in the info space, creating something that’s never been done before can be great, but it can also be risky because the market might not want it.~ Devin Butler [29:42]

• When it comes to launching a product or service, I’m a big advocate of just putting it out there and seeing what kind of feedback you get, rather than spending 35 hours developing a course no one has validated yet.~ Devin Butler [31:09]

• "If you presell something, it lights a fire under you, you figure it out and build the thing."~
