Should you have an online course that’s available at all times, or should you have a launch with an open and closed cart? While there are many reasons for either option, in today’s podcast, we’ll be talking about 5 reasons an online course should launch with an open and closed cart.
Here are a few things you’ll learn in the video masterclass:
- How to use “The 30 Second Rule” in your screen capture videos
- My #1 tool organize & plan your course

5 reasons an online course should launch with an open and closed cart
One of the mistakes I see with most online courses is that they are available for purchase year-round. And the owner usually feels sad that they’re not selling very many courses, so they get discouraged and quit.
1. A dedicated launch period allows your students to go through the course at the same time
By having students move through the material at the same time, they may all have similar questions, ideas and can share in the excitement together. This can motivate you as the course creators and it can serve as momentum to the students.
2. It allows you to improve the course, content, marketing, and support for the next time you launch the course
By having a dedicated launch period, you will be able to refine the course, not be in hyper-sales mode at all times and plan other ways to serve your audience.
3. You can have a dedicated Virtual Assistant working with you during the launch period
Instead of paying someone on a weekly basis, or doing the work yourself, you can hire someone to help you with the website development, customer support and other areas of the pre-launch, launch and post-launch process. This can save you a lot of money and hassle.
4. It creates more buzz and excitement with your students, affiliates and yourself!
Would you rather have a few sales here and there throughout the year or a BUNCH all at once? By doing a product launch, it makes you feel good to have a lot of sales come in within a short timeframe.
5. It’s easier to get affiliates to help promote your course
It will be easier to get affiliates to work with you if you have a specific window when your course is open. One trick is to do joint ventures throughout the year with different affiliates. This allows you to sell your online course throughout the year, but you’re not bugging the same audience every month.
