In order to make more sales in a live launch or in an evergreen funnel you either need: More leads coming into your funnel OR You need to increase the conversion rates in your funnel. It’s as simple as that.  Today I'm going to share with you the 3 ways you can reduce your cost per lead from your FB & IG Ads, so that you can get more leads coming through your funnel, without having to increase your budget. Here's what you'll learn: What an average "CPL" is, and how to set your own benchmark. Why you need to be looking at your funnel (and not just your Ads) when trying to reduce your CPL How your campaign structure impacts your CPL, and the best way to set up your Ads to get more people signing up to your email list Why your media is now the most important past of your Ad; and what you should be split testing.  

You guys know I love Facebook Ads and Funnels. But having Ads running doesn’t mean you don’t need to do any other marketing in your business. Facebook Ads need to form part of your overall marketing strategy, they’re not a standalone thing. This is particularly important if you’re using Facebook Ads for Evergreen Funnels. When you're selling your courses evergreen style, there are less live touch points, which makes your day-to-day organic presence a little more important. In today's episode, I'll be sharing: How I show up in my business daily to improve my Facebook Ads performance The social media content that you should be posting to help convert lurkers into leads and sales Why you should be paying attention to your customer journey, and how this can impact how and where you show up How I use Instagram DMs (as an introvert) to network, build connections and convert clients.

When I talk to course creators who want to run Ads, usually there’s a bit of hesitation and fear around spending money to make money and there’s often a debate around organic v paid marketing. The way I see it is when you pay to run Ads, you’re choosing to be seen. You’re paying for the guarantee of your content reaching the right people every single day. But here’s the thing; Paid advertising only ever pays off, when you’re strategic around what you’re advertising and why. Boosting an Instagram post and hoping for a course sale, is not the vibe. Instead, I encourage you to use Ads to fill your funnel, so you can continue to market to your dream leads days, weeks, months & years after they stumble across your sponsored post on the gram. Today on the Ready, Set, Launch Podcast, I’m sharing with you How To Use Facebook Ads To Sell An Evergreen Course. In this episode, you’ll learn: The 3 different types of campaigns you can create to sell an evergreen course, and which one I recommend you start with. How you can get started with making evergreen sales for as little as $3 a day. What creative is working best for us for our lead generation & sales campaigns.

Whether you’re wanting to sell your course on autopilot or generate high quality leads for your 1:1 services, your business can benefit from having an evergreen webinar funnel.  It’s an upgrade from the traditional lead magnet PDF that you can use to grow our list, and the reason why it’s an upgrade is because it includes video content. Video is the easiest and fastest way to build up the know, like and trust factor in a funnel. When you get the topic, presentation & pitch right in the webinar, it’s a really easy way to attract clients & sell courses fast. In this day and age, where people have very short attention spans, and show up live rates are at an all time low, why wouldn’t you want to turn your best performing live webinar into something people can watch on demand at 2x speed. In today’s podcast episode, I’m going to give you a breakdown of my evergreen webinar funnel, and how you can create this in your business. Here’s what you’ll learn: The 2 different types of evergreen webinar funnels, and which one I prefer What you need to get crystal clear on before building out your funnel (and why this is often overlooked) My evergreen webinar structure  The tech requirements of an evergreen funnel

Do you know why your launches feel insanely stressful even if you’re one of those organised people who have every single email scheduled? Do you know why that “do or die” energy has you questioning your entire business model every day of the launch even though you know your course is highly valuable?  Do you know why so many course creators want to turn their back on launch even though you see the potential?
