How to sell your course (without a list)...
|
A big email list is the best way to make money online right? WRONG! Today you'll find out why waiting to have a big email list to make money will REVERSE your progress... I'll explain that in a minute... ...First let me tell you about an awful decision I made that costs me a year of my life (and destroyed my business before it even started): One of the worst decisions I made was waiting to have a big audience and list to sell my first course. I thought the more attention I had the more money I'd make... Yeah, I was that guy. The one who thought success was measured in follower counts rather than actual revenue. And as a douchebag with a neck tattoo always does, I learned the hard way. I spent all of my time creating content which meant zero business. So here are 2 truths that social media influencers don't want you to know: 1.) There are "influencers" out there with millions of followers who can barely afford their avocado toast. 2.) There are people without an audience or email list that are making millions. If I had to start my online biz from scratch today. I'd sell a course on my expertise. And I'd sell it without an email list. How? Using Russell Brunson's Dream 100 method. Here's how it works without the marketing BS: 1.) Make a list of 100 people in your industry who rock. 2.) Reach out to them about promoting your course 3.) Get rejected 99 times 4.) Have that one person say yes 5.) Use that yes to get more yeses Why this actually works (unlike most marketing advice): The beauty here is that it's based on actual human psychology rather than some B.S. metrics. When one respected person in your industry promotes your stuff... ...Others start seeing you as less of a potential scammer and more of a legit option. It's like dating. Nobody wants to be the first person to say yes. But once someone does, suddenly you're not such a bad option after all. My point? Stop obsessing over what you don't have (a massive email list) and start leveraging what you do have (your expertise and the ability to reach out to people who matter). Catch ya soon, -Parker |

It’s no secret that business owners are more stressed than ever before. Heck, my highest earning months used to be the most miserable. Until a mentor told me to use a Profit Satisfaction Matrix. That’s when I learned to use only one business model. And that business model gave me the highest profits with the most satisfaction. So if you’d like to remove the stress of growing a business (while increasing profit and freedom)... ...Then this may be the best email you read all day. Here’s the...
Today John Bejakovic is giving you his copywriting book: 10 Commandments Of A-List Copywriters For free. Now let me explain the problem with most copywriting books... Copywriting books today regurgitate the same boring information. They rip off Robert Cialdini's Influence tactics which were relevant in 1984. And teach you tactics that make you sound like a used car sales man. Fun fact: Great copy doesn't seem like copy. Great copy reads like a letter from a friend. Which is just one of the 10...
Everyone needs an email list. But how can you build one fast with people who are willing to buy? I made a list for you… 1. Social media Decide whether you prefer writing or video content. Pick a platform and start posting every day on that platform. Let the post sit for about an hour… Then plug the link to your email optin page as a comment under the post. Currently, I’m getting great traffic from LinkedIn with this strategy. This post got me 20 new subscribers yesterday. 2. List swaps Find...
