In This Video We’ll Talk About:

  • Closing the time gap between your customers’ first and second purchases
  • Increasing your efficiency by repurposing content
  • Creating joint ventures in the online course industry
  • Emails for warming up your audience before launch
  • Hiring people without hurting your budget

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’If you already have a suite of products, instead of creating a new product, if you get better at cross-selling, upselling, getting people to go through trials, that’s oftentimes a faster way to grow your revenue and increase your profits than trying a new marketing funnel or a new angle or a new product and so on.’’ – Thanh Pham

‘’Oftentimes you can use the exact same sales page and exact same email copy twice in a year. And people would oftentimes not even notice the difference. And so it creates a lot of efficiency, right? When you can repurpose a lot of stuff. And so it turns out you only have to make three to four different campaigns within a year and kind of recycle them and maybe update them a little bit or tweak the offer a little bit to see what works best.’’ – Thanh Pham

‘’How often have you seen the same commercial on TV? You’ll see it. And If it’s a good commercial, you’ll actually watch it again. Right? Without getting annoyed. If it’s a good commercial you often times are entertained. And that’s how I think about marketing materials. Well, if it’s really good and it is also entertaining, people will want to consume it again.’’ – Thanh Pham

‘’When the journey stops with your course, you start to realize actually the journey is just continuing from there. And so what can I do to offer them to help them continue on their journey? And that’s where oftentimes a lot of our product ideas come from is they finish one particular course and they go: ‘’I want more like, what’s next?’’, ‘’ Oh, we don’t have anything. Maybe we should create something.’’ And so this is where the repeat sales come in. Because if you have one regular course that does really well, you have an audience or a set of customers that are hungry for more.’’– Thanh Pham

‘’Nothing is evergreen anymore in this world. Even if you have a course on the topic that is evergreen, nothing is evergreen anymore. Because what happens is if you have a successful launch, oftentimes people will find out. And guess what, they will create something very similar or competing course as well. And so you allow competitors to come in to take up market share away from you. And this happens in all industries.’’ – Thanh Pham

‘’If anything works, do more of that. And don’t worry whether you understand it properly or not just go right. That’s working, I’m going to do more of it. And I eventually I’ll probably figure it out, but right now the crucial thing is to do it because it works.’’ – John Ainsworth

What You’ll Learn In Today’s Video:

  • What is killing your productivity and ways to overcome it
  • Why planning 6-8 weeks ahead is better than quarterly or yearly planning
  • How can breaking a task into smaller chunks help you
  • How to prioritize your work
  • Useful tools and software for productivity

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’It’s good to have a vision for your business or what direction you want to go, but there’s no way in the world that you can plan out a year’s worth of work.’’ – Rita Ainsworth

‘’It’s okay to set milestones, but don’t make a detailed plan for more than probably a week or two. There’s that quote that says: ‘’No plan for your life will survive the first contact with reality’’, and that’s pretty much true with anything life or business.’’ – Rita Ainsworth

‘’Even knowing that, people still have this hope strategy that they are gonna put as many things as they think have to be done. And hope that they’re somehow going to do it. And it never works. One, you kind of miss the most important tasks that had to be done in that chaos and noise. And other thing is that things will take slower. You know, you either work on one project or 10 projects that take a week.’’ – Rita Ainsworth

‘’Cutting tasks off the list at the start of the day I find one of the most emotionally uncomfortable things to do. If I’m tired, not just that I can’t think as clearly, but if I’m feeling a bit less positive and full of pep and I have to take stuff off the desk, I’m like: ‘’But they all need doing, I can’t possibly take anything off the list’’. And it’s like, yeah, but you also can’t possibly do them all. So you kind of have to make a choice here.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’I think it’s normal for everyone, but people feel like they failed. If you have a to-do list and you worked on things, but they weren’t the most important things on your list that are gonna move your business forward you feel like, okay, I failed. And every single day, if you feel like you failed, it becomes harder and harder and less motivating to run that business.’’ – Rita Ainsworth

‘’People are drawn to things that are easy, comfortable. You know, what can they just stick off? And you have to sit through that discomfort and see, okay, what does actually need doing today? – Rita Ainsworth

Learn How To Send More Promotional Emails Without Annoying Your Audience – With Josip Belina

On this episode of “The Art of Selling Online Courses: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks From Top Performers”, we are learning about email promotions – a powerful tool for scaling online course businesses.

We talk about the common misconception that email promotions should be sent only a couple of times per year. Josip gives some amazing pieces of advice on how you can email your audience more often without annoying them. He explains the difference between launches and email promotions and breaks down the anatomy of a well-structured email promotion that anyone can implement.

What You’ll Learn In Today’s Video:

  • How to send more emails without annoying your audience
  • Tips for writing 6 promotional emails in only 2-4 hours
  • Differences between launches and email promotions
  • How to do more email promotions if you only have 2-3 courses
  • How to structure an effective email promotion

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’People are afraid to annoy people, to annoy their email list, and to sound scammy, salesy and pushy. No one wants that. But with email promotions, you don’t have to do that. You don’t have to sound like that.’’ – Josip Belina

‘’We saw with one of our clients that actually her unsubscribed rate went down when she started doing email promotions using this style because there was such useful, valuable content in the promotion. The marketing was helping all these people, even if they weren’t buying, and the ones who were ready to buy were buying. They were delighted because they got to find out about the course, and they got a discount. So you can avoid the problem of it being annoying and actually make the emails useful and friendly and helpful and people like them and you make sales. It’s just a beautiful thing.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’An email promotion is six emails in a week, focusing on the scarcity and the end. And that’s it. Promote one product, pick one, priced from 60 to $99. There is a reason why it’s 60 to 99 and not less. That’s it, you need to have upsells and order bumps in place behind it to maximize the revenue, but just repeat that every couple of weeks and you will have amazing results.’’– Josip Belina

‘’When it comes to doing email promotions, the most important thing is to do them. And by doing them, you can expect to get like 40% of the additional revenue. That’s what we’ve seen for a few of our clients.’’ – Josip Belina

‘’If you only have a few courses, you don’t need to create more courses. You can splinter content. And that’s what we suggest. And that’s what works really, really great. So if you have a course, that’s a few hundred dollars, let’s say it’s a $300 course, and it has seven modules. You can probably splinter one or two modules and sell those for $99. And then offered the rest of the course as an upsell.’’ – Josip Belina

  • Traffic sources that worked the best for Jacques
  • What is a Product launch formula and how you can implement it
  • How Jacques makes his only lead magnet convert constantly
  • Whether you need fancy software for an impactful webinar

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’You know, for years I’ve always said one of the most important things with YouTube is consistency, right? Whether that is daily, weekly, monthly, pick something that works for you and be consistent about it.’’ – Jacques Hopkins

‘’Keep it more generic, but still have a call to action. That’s a way to keep the lead magnet more future-proof but I would imagine that your click-through rate and success goes up the more specific you are on the lead magnet too. So you kind of have to walk that line.’’ – Jacques Hopkins

‘’You know, people will say, you know, you send too many emails. Well, you’re still on the list, and you have an unsubscribed, but you haven’t bought either. Maybe I didn’t send enough emails.’’ – Jacques Hopkins

‘’The basic concept of what Russell Brunson’s teaching is you’re able in a whole webinar, if it’s an hour or two hours, to get across one big idea to people. One central concept about changing their worldview. If you can figure out what idea should that be and then you can convince them of it, at the end of it, if they believe it, they should feel like the natural, next thing is to buy your course.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’My webinar is over two hours long and some people will say: ‘’Jacques, that was the greatest thing ever. I learned so much. Thanks for teaching so much. You’ve completely changed the way I think about piano.’’ and then other people will be like: ‘’Dude, you think way too much of yourself, you talk too much’’. And both people watched the exact same video and came away on completely opposite sides of the spectrum. So you can’t appeal to everybody.’’ – Jacques Hopkins

About the speaker:

Jacques Hopkins worked as an engineer for eight years before quitting his job and turning his biggest hobby into a highly successful online piano course. PianoIn21Days.com has brought in over $2.5 Million in revenue to date, with over 7,000 students all over the world. Today, Jacques supports his family with the passive income from his course, while teaching others to do the same on The Online Course Show podcast.

  • Why you should do more than 2-3 email promotions per year
  • Beliefs that helped Dennis overcome the fear of sending more promotional emails
  • How to overcome a growth plateau 
  • How Instant Course Sales program can help you to scale your business

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’So I really didn’t have a good idea of where to start to improve this whole system. And I was kind of mainly focused on driving the traffic. So, if you talked with me a couple of months ago, and I was thinking about scaling my business and hiring help – what would that look like? Well, it would probably be trying to hire more writers or more people that could create content. Today that’s probably not one of my top three priorities. So it kind of shifted quite a bit.’’ – Dennis Moons

‘’Going through the course and starting to email people more, I’ve kind of shifted my perspective on having people on an email list. You’re not running an email list to run an email list. The email list is a part of your business.’’ – Dennis Moons

‘’I always try to pack a little bit of value into every email. So that, it’s not just: ‘’Hey, discount and discount buy now, buy now, the course is closing’’. You need to kind of balance it to a level wherever you find it more comfortable.’’– Dennis Moons

‘’People don’t think about the fact that it’s actually possible to do something, where you can take an existing course and break it out into smaller sections and sell those bits individually, which then gives you the opportunity to have more offers that you make to people without having created more training.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’I think going through the course has really helped me to get the foundation in place. Also, knowing what is the first thing that I need to put there just to do have something in the foundation, and then start going through it again, start optimizing different bits.’’- Dennis Moons

  • How to structure one that makes people take action
  • Great examples of effective emails that you can use
  • Software that Monica uses to build email sequences
  • Where to find inspiration for your email sequences

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’Their whole purpose is to remind people that they are about to miss out on something. So exploring that fear of missing out. Makes a lot of people take action. And it’s not you being aggressive. It’s not you being pushy. It’s just you reminding them that if they want to achieve a specific objective if they want to take action, they can do so in this like limited time window.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’If you’ve done a really good job about answering objections, such as time, money what’s in it for them, then these specific three emails can be very short, very sweet. They can be only a couple of lines if you want them. And they are very, very sure, very, very easy to write.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’You’re just reminding people, similarly to setting an alarm on your clock and that alarm is reminding you: ‘’Hey, you have 24 hours left until you have to go to the airport and fly away to some destination.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’It’s creating scarcity and urgency, but it’s doing it because there is scarcity and urgency. This discount is not available all the time, or this course is going to be starting and you can’t join it late or whatever the reason is. And so you’ve got to let people know so that they remember to get round to it and take action.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’People get the lot of emails. People have a lot of things in their life. Even listening to this podcast episode, I’m sure you have clicked pause a couple of times because your kid wants something, your phone rings, you’re hungry. You remember that you need to do something. So it’s normal to use these emails actually to get your people to do something. And it’s not something in your favor, it’s in their benefit.’’ – Monica Badiu

This simple thing made an additional $15, 000 in a week for our client

Josip is using some great examples to explain what they are and how you can earn thousands of dollars just by implementing them. We share some amazing stories of our Instant Course Sales program clients who saw their first results in just a week, hoping to inspire you to create your first upsell and order bump now!

What You’ll Learn In Today’s Video:

  • What order bumps and upsells are
  • Examples of upsells that you can use for your course business
  • How to set up your own upsells and order bumps
  • Difference between one-click and two-click order bumps
  • What are the biggest mistakes in their implementation and how to avoid them

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’The most important thing when creating the upsell offer, and when thinking about positioning is: does it make sense? I know Monica likes to tell that in our course, but don’t do weird stuff. Really. That’s the most important thing in a funnel.’’ – Josip Belina

‘’If you are good at what you do, and if you can help people, put it in front of them, because it helps them. So having upsells in order bumps actually helps them and it benefits you because your revenues are going to go up. But the thing is with courses, basically every course will solve a problem, but will create another one. So if you can help them solve that other problem, they’re going to be grateful, they’re going to be willing to pay money for that. So having upsells in order is helping you help the client. And if you can get more sales, you can help more people. Basically, it makes sense. It’s not annoying. It’s helpful.’’ – Josip Belina

‘‘Yeah, and I think one of the other crucial things is with the copy that you’ve gotten of those pages. Again, don’t be weird. Don’t do weird stuff, right? You don’t have to do this strange psychological pressure: if you don’t get this you’re going to be a failure in life and it’s going to be disastrous.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’So just make sure that it’s visible through the copies for the funnel, that what you are doing can bring people results, people are not buying your product, because they like how it looks. They’re buying the product because of what it can help them with. So just focus on that.’’ – Josip Belina

‘’It’s important that the upsell is not just the upsell. It’s a one-click upsell so that you do not have to go through the checkout experience once again. So that means that you’ve added your credit card details on step one, the checkout step. But now just click one button. And that’s it. Your card gets charged immediately. And it is a lot easier for your customers is the most important thing for the funnel. It makes it to be easy.’’ – Josip Belina

What You’ll Learn In Today’s Video:

  • How to create closer connections with your audience
  • Difference between sales, landing and product pages
  • Elements of a high-converting sales page
  • Tips for writing an eye-catching headline
  • How to differentiate yourself from your competitors using social proof

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’There are two things for every person. They either want to move away from pain or they want to move towards pleasure or an objective, something positive. Now you can use both of those to get them to take an action based on an emotional trigger. It’s up to you to decide which one you’re going to choose but you don’t have to make your audience feel bad about what they are doing or not doing to get them to buy something. It’s actually the opposite.’’- Monica Badiu

‘’If you like the whole idea of copywriting and testing it, just have some fun, try to write 25 headlines and then decide on your best one.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’When people try to write a good headline, they’re like: ‘’Okay, I’m gonna write a really good one’’. And I found this to be way easier, you just write 50. And you just let go, none of them have to be any good. You just start writing, you just start going and somewhere in there you’ll find a good idea. And then you can go down that rabbit hole and write another 10 that are kind of like that. And eventually you get to something. I found that so much easier than sitting down and thinking how can I craft the perfect one straight away.’’- John Ainsworth

‘’Yeah, actually, throughout your entire page, you need to make your reader say yes, as many times as possible. And people who have objections, they will need many instances when they’re saying yes, to actually get to the next step. So the actual (Call to action) button, if it contains a yes, then that’s the first iteration of them seeing an actual yes to your offer.’’ – Monica Badiu

‘’You’ve got to make it really simple and straightforward for people. Confused customer never buys, you’ve got to say this is next. If you like this, do that. Just make it really simple. They’ve got busy lives, they’ve got other stuff going on. There are so many pictures of kittens, they could go and look, don’t make them have to think too hard about what the next step is, just let them know.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’If you’ve done your research, and you know your customer avatar inside-out and you know how you can help a specific type of person, then you’re not going to see that many refunds. Because you’ve done your positioning right, you know the language, you know exactly how you can help a specific type of person. Now, obviously, we can’t be perfect. Some people will wiggle in, but that’s totally normal. It’s part of life. It’s part of running an online business’’ – Monica Badiu

From plumbing to building an online business empire with Jaryd Krause

Jaryd is a leading Australian business coach, mentor, and online business professional. He is the Founder & CEO of Buying Online Businesses. Since Jaryd went from a plumber to building an online business empire, he now dedicates his time to teaching individuals all around the world how to exit the rat race, replace their income and live a life they always desired.

In this episode of “The Art of Selling Online Courses: Winning Strategies & Secret Hacks From Top Performers”, Jaryd explains the overall concept of buying online businesses as a part of a business growth strategy. We compare different processes of acquiring an audience done in a ‘traditional’ way compared to acquiring an audience from a bought business.

We go deeper into what kinds of business you should consider if you are planning to buy one and the numbers behind that. You’ll hear how much money you should invest and what are the steps in the process of buying a business. Jaryd explains the process of removing a person from the face of the business to ensure a smooth transition, when such a thing is needed after a business is purchased.

Ideas Worth Sharing:

‘’If you’re doing any form of marketing, you’re paying for it, right. You’re paying for it in time and you’re paying for it in money. And so what you’re doing basically is you’re buying an audience. You’re buying attention. When you buy an online business, you’re buying an audience, you’re buying the attention of people that are already consuming the content on that content site.’’ – Jaryd Krause

‘’When you buy something, the rule that I like to say is you generally get what you pay for. That’s a very general statement. And so, what Warren Buffett says, who’s one of the best business investors in the world is, it’s better to buy a good business at a fair price than a fair business at a good price. So I think it’s really worth buying something decent, to save you a lot of trouble.’’ – Jaryd Krause

‘’And so there’s sometimes really big opportunities. When you can look at another industry and take something they’re doing that nobody in your industry is doing and just copy it across.’’ – John Ainsworth

‘’Where it can get difficult is that, and it’s not just the course business itself but any business that has a personal brand attached to it and the audience is heavily involved and has a lot of trust in that person who runs it. Then, before you look at selling it you’d want to work out a way that you can remove yourself from being the face of the business and having too much personal brand attached to it. And you can transform personal brand into business brand as well.’’ – Jaryd Krause

‘’When somebody is thinking about changing or removing themselves from the face of the business, the emphasis really needs to be on the quality, the quality of content, the quality of the email marketing and the quality of all the marketing and the quality of the site. The quality of all the touch points is you really need to be thinking about the audience first.’’ – Jaryd Krause
