Have all the backend setup for your Launch prepped. Launching is like preparing for success.

Keep reading because I have a great tool for you!2. You need an audience to invite to your LaunchThis is where everyone gets tripped up. Because as a first time online course creator you have spent months if not years putting everything together. The task is monumental and you feel like you should be over the hump by now. But actually, you are still climbing the mountain. You need to have as many sets of eyes as possible on your offer. But not just anyone's eyes. You need the RIGHT people seeing it. Your Ideal Client. After all, you aren't Wal-Mart offering something general for everyone. Yes, having a good social media presence helps. But the best way to have the right, captive audience is through email marketing3. Start Growing that Email ListIf you Google the #1 way online businesses make sales here are the results:Direct, Email and SEODirect means that someone went directly to your website; Email means they are on your email list and SEO is search engine optimization.So why Email? When you get your ideal clients to join your email list, you then have a captive audience to have real conversations with. They start to know, like and trust you. When you take them through this process they are much more likely to feel confident about buying from you. This is exactly why I love talking Email Marketing. Your email list becomes the most valuable asset for your business. Even as your business and offers grow and change. These people grow and change with you. They see your journey and want to be a part of it."Who’s the entrepreneur behind all these business tips?"
