Let’s take a second and get real. Launching online programs has always been pretty hard. You pour your heart and soul into creating an amazing course. You’re nervous, you’re excited - and the day finally comes to launch it. You wait… and you wait - perhaps even a couple of days before a sale comes through.
 
Unfortunately, right now in 2024, it’s tougher than it’s ever been. We could blame the economy, the changing online landscape, we could complain… or we could do something about it!

#199 - Circle vs Kajabi for online course creation

If you’ve been around here for a while, you’ll know that I’m a bit of nerd for tech. So today, we’re talking software - specifically, platforms for online course creation and why moved away from our previous platform set up.
 
When it comes to delivering our online courses, we had been using a few different platforms: Kajabi for our course curriculum, Slack for our community, Zoom for our coaching calls and AddEvent for managing our client's calendars. While these tools all worked well individually, the lack of cohesiveness and the limitations of Kajabi was really starting to bug me!
 
In this episode, I’m talking about why we at Hello Funnels made the move from Kajabi to Circle. I take you through the different platforms we explored first, such as Mighty Networks and Heartbeat, as well as their pros and cons. 
 
After a bit of a battle of the bots, Circle was the clear winner. I highlight the features that won us over, such as its user-friendly design, streamlined backend and overall simplicity. 
 
A quick word of warning: moving platforms can be a big procrastination technique and a massive waste of time if you don’t need to do it. However, if you know it’s time to improve your processes for online course delivery, tune in and find out why I highly recommend giving Circle a closer look!

#193 - This #1 marketing strategy you need for 2024

Do you want to scale your online course, or get more people on your list? Maybe you’re tired of having to make endless social media posts or appearances on podcasts. Well, look no further, because I’ve got just the thing for you: micro offers. Today I’m doing a rerun of this episode to help you hit the ground running and start 2024 right with this #1 marketing strategy. 
If you've been around this part of the internet for a while, you've probably heard me talk about what we call ‘mini but mighty’ offers. They're also known as self liquidating offers and typically at a price point of $27. Micro offers, however, are a little different. 
Usually around $9, micro offers aren’t so much about raking in huge profits. So what are they good for? The beauty in them is that they help cover your ad costs upfront. They provide a safety net for your business, allowing you to scale faster and reach higher levels of success. 
So, if you want to learn how to make your ads pay for themselves and achieve the scalability in your business you’re after, this episode is for you!
