2 Mistakes Stopping Your Course From Having Its Best Launch Ever
In this episode of Systems Saved Me®, I'm introducing you to launch strategist and copywriter Nicola Moors, who has worked with top names like Amy Porterfield, Ellen Yin, and even me :) Nicola pulls back the curtain on 2 major mistakes that tank online course launches, and surprisingly, it’s not just about copy. She shares why blaming your copywriter might be a knee-jerk reaction that overlooks the real issue—like not enough traffic or an offer that isn’t compelling enough.
Nicola also breaks down how to reverse-engineer your launch goals so they’re actually realistic, rather than being misled by flashy six-figure success stories on social media. If you’ve ever wondered why your sales page converts well but the sales still don’t roll in, this episode is a must-listen.
