Episode Transcript

Hey there. Welcome to the Amy Porterfield Show. There were wins and losses in my launch. Not everything went perfect, but I've been talking so much about how hard the industry is. I wanted to just talk about something positive that absolutely worked on my end, and these are the things I see working with my students as well. At the time of this recording, I have just finished my Digital Course Academy yearly launch. So you might already know, but every September since 2019, I have been launching Digital Course Academy. And this year was extra special because we really wanted to get the offer right in terms of where everything is in the online landscape right now. I've been talking about it on this podcast for six months in terms of the shifts that we're seeing, the trust recession that we are in, the fact that people are struggling to get the right kind of traffic. I've seen it all for at least six months, so I knew that it would affect me just as much as it's affecting other people. And so we wanted to be ready for that. And one thing that really stuck out in this launch was how well webinars did. So if you've ever heard or if you've been hearing anything about like webinars are dead or webinars don't work anymore, that is such a lie and not just for me. Before I share with you what worked in this launch regarding webinars, I just want to say that many of my students are crushing it this year with their webinars and many of my peers. I mean, Jenna Kutcher just did, I think, four or five live webinars, crushed every single one of them, even better than last year and I really do believe webinars are working so well because they are live. They are in real time and with a trust recession, showing up live has a higher perceived value, which is why I think one of the reasons they're working so well. So don't give up on your webinars. If you've done them in the past, do them again. If you've never done them, consider adding them to your sales strategy because they are alive and well. Now, let me back up because before I tell you about what I did in my webinars that really changed the game for me this time, I want to share with you that I also did a few things leading up to the webinar that could be really valuable for you as well. So number one, I made sure that my brand voice and our ideal customer avatar was dialed in before we got started. So we get started about sixty days before the launch starts. That's our prelaunch, about sixty days and maybe sometimes even a little bit more. But even before that period, we made sure we are very clear who are we talking to and what is our message. So …
