What we put out is what we're going to attract. This is so true when it comes to our list-building activities.Too often we see people trying to build their list the wrong way, they're trying to get as many people as possible to join their list and they neglect the quality of the list. They put out random things to get random individuals and those random individuals might not really be interested in our offers.I want you to think about that. Think about the quality list that you're going to build rather than focusing on that quantity.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt 

After working hard on your challenge launch, it's time to take it to the next level through scaling. In this episode, we discuss why looking at your numbers will help you to see what's working and not working. Review the data from your launch to determine what needs adjusting or eliminating for next time. This helps create an effective process you can repeat. Start by evaluating one element of your launch, like emails sent or livestreams. Make incremental improvements, one step at a time, and grow with each launch.

No doubt, a great onboarding process is the key to building a great relationship with your members.Because that moment, right after the purchase, is the most vulnerable moment for your clients.They just handed their credit card details to a stranger based on a promise and are wondering if you are going to deliver.In this episode of our Mastermind Series, we are discussing how you can create an engaging and informative onboarding process that will leave a good first impression with your new members.Resources: Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

I want you to just start. I want you to take action!You know, a lot of times we stop ourselves, because we don't have things set up exactly as we want. Maybe we don't have a platform ready, maybe we're not exactly sure of the deliverables that we're going to do, but I want you to just start, that's the first step is just to take that action.Here's the thing, when you take the action and you get that momentum going, it's going to motivate you and you're going to create more excitement, not just for yourself, but for the community around you, for the people that you're trying to attract to come into your membership.Pick a date, decide when you're going to get started and get it out there to start really making an impact with people.

Create a membership that isn’t going to weigh you down! When you build a membership, you have the opportunity to lean in and be purposeful on what the deliverables are for your offers, you’re in control of what you’re putting into the world.For us, when it comes to membership sites, we're very conscious about protecting our time, we're very conscious about protecting our energy resources.You need to set your own boundaries!What deliverables can you put into the market where you can create the membership site or the service that you desire, that you can sustain long term? Truly the most important thing we can do as entrepreneurs is to have boundaries. You're the asset, you need to protect yourself so that you can serve more people long term versus being totally burned out. So go ahead and get to work. Figure out your boundaries and what you can offer that is sustainable and then put it into action.

Community. It’s something we all crave, isn’t it? We crave to be around people that understand us. We love to be around people where we can have deep conversations and connect. We crave having that community of like-minded people that are going through the same thing so we can talk about our challenges and also share our wins! I’m fact, one of the reasons I love memberships so much is the community experience they can create! When you have a membership, you have that ability to become a conductor for community to bring like minded people together to share experiences, wins and challenges.It’s just so powerful.What communities are you a part of?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

So many people mess up when it comes to their messaging. They want to put a product or service out in the world and go from zero to 150 miles in 2.3 seconds. From welcoming new members to their email list to immediately trying to sell them something. And this is where they lose a lot of people.We want to slowly guide your audience into that conversation and adjust our messaging to match what phase of the buyer's journey your individual people are in..In this episode, we are discussing how to create successful messaging for each stage, from your pre-launch phase, to your actual launch, all the way to your onboarding, in a way that creates desire and naturally bridges into your offer.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/how-to-craft-the-right-message-throughout-your-buyers-journey/Resources:Launch Conversation Calendar - turn your participants in your launch into buyers!

You don't need thousands of people in your launch.  You just need the right people! So don’t get caught up in the numbers, comparing yourself to your peers when you're going through a launch process. Instead, focus on the quality of people that are coming into your launches! Really look at the people that are coming in and through your launch as individuals that have problems and needs. Show them how your offer can help them and paint a picture of the opportunities that your transformation provides for them.And with smaller groups, you’ll be able to have more quality conversations and connect at an even deeper level.So stop looking at the numbers and focus on the right people for your launch!ResourcesAdaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram:@realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

A lot of times people get stuck in their tracks trying to perfect their offer, wait for the perfect moment, or have their fears stand in the way of launching their membership.And then they freeze and lose momentum.In this episode, we are talking with Eric Walrabenstein, best-selling author and renowned educator.He is sharing his inspiring journey, how he overcame his perfectionism, his fears and self-doubt to transition from his real-life yoga studio to online membership, and what he learned about attracting the right audience for your offer.Eric Walrabenstein is a best-selling author, ordained Yoga Master, and nationally-renowned educator in the fields of yoga and meditation.His work focuses on empowering people to practically apply the lesser-known aspects of yoga, beyond the postures, to live lives of more purpose and meaning.He is the founder of Yoga Pura, one of Arizona’s largest yoga schools, the creator of the BOOTSTRAP Yoga Stress-management System developed for the U.S. military, and is the founding director of the BrightLife Yoga Collective.His podcast, This Perfect Moment, is available on Apple and Google Podcast networks.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/escaping-the-trap-of-perfectionism-interview-with-best-selling-author-and-renowned-educator-eric-walrabenstein/Resources:Make It a Membership -  a program showing you exactly what you need to do in order to turn your offer or your idea into a successful membership Freebie: Yoga's Secret to Calmby Eric Walrabenstein walking you step-by-step through how you can put the powerful pieces of the Secret to Calm to work in your life in just minutes a day.Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with Ericwww.ericwal.com/www.facebook.com/[email protected]/ericwConnect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

There are companies out there, and there have been for many, many years that have done what you're trying to do, maybe even in the niche that you have, and they're attracting clients. If they’re attracting clients that means there is a system, a process, a framework, something that they're already doing that's causing people to buy. There is something that is already proven and that works!Instead of going through the trial-and-error process on your end, wasting time, wasting money, wasting financial resources and energy that we cannot get back, why not ride on somebody else's wheel? Why not use a framework that is already working, that's already tested, that's already tweaked in, that's dialed in? That is the perfect starting point.You don't need to reinvent the wheel. It's probably already created out there!Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

To attract buyers in the lead-up to your launch,  you really want to think about what is your ideal client?What are they thinking, saying, feeling, and doing in their world right now?What are their struggles, challenges, and aspirations?What conversations are they already having?Make sure you do market research, especially in buyer communities.We need to come down off the “Guru Mountain”, take our expert hats off, meet them where they are on their journey, and join the conversations that they are already having.And when we speak into those conversations that are relevant to our buyers, we’ll connect with them on a deeper level and can guide them naturally to our launch.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Stop and think about somebody who has been a positive influence in your life. It could be a teacher, a coach or a family member or anyone else that has impacted you. Do you have someone in mind? It's important that we pay attention to these individuals who have influenced us in our lives and turn that back around for our own audience.We can be that positive influence, we can be that leader, we can shine light on things that they might have not even thought about and open up their mind to new possibilities!

A lot of us get caught up in perfectionism.We have to have our membership programs done perfectly. Then when we finally take our offer into the market, there are crickets because it's not based on what your audience actually wanted. In this episode, we are discussing with award-winning online marketer and book author Dr. Mary Barbera why you should not let perfectionism stop you from simply putting your membership out there, regardless of the number of followers you have and how you can use market feedback to make sure that what you offer is perfectly aligned with what people are looking for.Dr. Mary Barbera “fell” into the autism world in 1999 when her first-born son, Lucas was diagnosed with autism. Since then, Mary transformed from a confused and overwhelmed parent to a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst and best-selling author. After earning a PhD, Mary launched her first online course in early 2015 and later built additional courses and a membership program to help both parents and autism professionals. In her vlogs, podcasts, books, webinars, and online courses, Mary teaches her unique step-by-step system and method to help children with autism (or signs of autism) talk more while reducing tantrums and other problem behaviors. Mary’s latest book Turn Autism Around was published in 2021 by Hay House and is helping parents and professionals start turning things around for young children with early signs of autism and older children with an autism diagnosis who are still struggling with talking, tantrums, eating, sleeping and potty training.

Be your own best customer. Now, what do I mean by that?If you think about it when we bring people into our world, we want the transformation, we want to be able to solve somebody's problem and help them. We want a repeat customer. We want a satisfied customer. We don't want people to be cheap. We don't want people to race to the bottom. We don't want to give low, bad quality service.We want to exceed expectations.Now, at the same time that comes with an investment, right? We want people to invest in our product and service and we need to do the same thing.Are we our own best customer? Are we setting ourselves up with the right habits?And that's what I'm going to recommend that you do.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

As online business owners, it's easy to get caught up in sharing ALL the details and value with our audience. But when launching a challenge or promotion, less teaching is more.Because if you overteach during the challenge, they won't need your offer anymore. They'll feel satisfied and move on.In your launch, give your audience small wins to open their eyes to what's possible and why they need it. But don't share all the steps and details. Save that for your offer. This is where the full transformation will happen. Teach less, convert more. Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Have you ever met someone that has tried to explain their product or service to you, but it’s so complex and so complicated that you were just like, “what?”.Well, I don’t want that to happen to you!When you’re creating a high converting offer versus one that doesn’t convert at all or that gets very low conversions, it comes down to how complicated you’ve made it.As human beings, we are pretty simple, we just want to know if what we’re buying is going to do what we desire. But when we’re marketing, many of us think we have to act differently, we put on this imaginary marketing hat and we start spewing out all kinds of crazy information, and we think this is what we are supposed to say, because it’s marketing.We get caught up trying to explain all of that techno babble, and at the end of the day, we just need to give people clarity. What do they already desire? What is your offer? And then between where they are now and where they want to be, is the transformation. And it’s your offer that provides the transformation, it’s the vehicle to get them from where they are now to where they desire to be.Marketing can be simple. I really want that to resonate with you because a lot of us think that it has to be some advanced, crazy thing, but I’m telling you, the best copywriters in the world, they pay attention to their customer, they pay attention to the language that their audience is already using, and then they use that language in their marketing.Keep it simple, make it clear, give clarity, get out of the way, don’t create friction… give high converting offers!

Stop treating everybody like a number; go back to having conversations.This starts when you're a list building. This starts when you're attracting your followers. This starts just like it does in the real world. You greet them. You have a conversation. You ask questions. You get a feedback loop. You actually get to know one another.If you want to have a smaller list, that's more impactful, a list that’s full of people that will actually buy your offers, you need to rewind back and stop treating people like a one and a zero. Stop looking at the vanity metrics.Lean in and actually have real conversations again. When we're engaged in real conversations what naturally happens is we start to know our people, we know how to message them and how to guide them into our offer and you’re going to make a bigger impact in those people's lives.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that. Give yourself some grace. You're not racing anyone else. You're on your own race. You're on your own journey. Give yourself permission to just steadily make progress.

When it comes to list building, you only need to solve one problem for your audience. You don’t need to solve all their problems at once! I know it's super tempting and you want to help and solve a lot of their problems all in one sitting but when you do that, it can be very overwhelming for them. If we're overwhelming them with too much information, they're not going to watch a video, they're not going to read a PDF, and that really important resource you created is going to collect digital dust! Instead, make an impact with one problem they’re having, give them a solution, give them a quick win and it's going to naturally bridge into your offer. Remember, one problem at a time.

At the beginning, when we're first starting off with anything, we get busy trying new things and that's really a wonderful thing, especially as entrepreneurs, because it allows us to put ourselves out there, test and see what works.But when we’re trying a lot of random things, we're attracting a lot of random people into our world, and we'll end up getting a lot of random results.As you grow as an entrepreneur, you want to shift that randomness to intention. We need to be more intentional with the efforts that we make, be more intentional with our marketing, be more intentional with our messaging, and be more intentional with how we're going to connect with our audience.When we can become more intentional, we can really lead the right people in.Are you leading the right people into your world?Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

In this episode, we discuss why overdelivering and overteaching in your challenge launch can actually hurt your conversions. While it may seem that providing an incredible amount of value and training for free would make people eager to buy from you, the opposite is true. When you teach too much and give people everything they need to achieve results, they feel satisfied and don't need to purchase your offer.Instead, in your challenge, focus on showing people what's possible and helping them achieve small wins to build their belief. Explain the "what" they need to know and "why" it's important, but save the step-by-step "how" for your paid offer. Think of your challenge as a launch vehicle to set people up for the real transformation in your offer.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/how-to-get-more-clients-from-every-launch/Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

When it comes to marketing and attracting clients, stop reinventing the wheel! There are companies out there, and there have been for many, many years that have done what you're trying to do, maybe even in the niche that you have, and they're attracting clients. If they’re attracting clients that means there is a system, a process, a framework, something that they're already doing that's causing people to buy. There is something that is already proven and that works! Instead of going through the trial-and-error process on your end, wasting time, wasting money, wasting financial resources and energy that we cannot get back, why not ride on somebody else's wheel? Why not use a framework that is already working, that's already tested, that's already tweaked in, that's dialed in? That is the perfect starting point. You don't need to reinvent the wheel. It's probably already created out there!Resources: Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Resources: Adaptive Inner Circle - The Adaptive Inner Circle is an epic 12-month experience for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners who aspire to create financial freedom and a lifestyle they want for themselves and their family and also create a positive impact in their community and the world.Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Stop hiding your offers! Selling isn't "dirty" or selfish. Selling is serving. You're guiding people toward the solution they need. So instead of surprising people with your offer at the last second, be transparent from the beginning. And seed your offer throughout your launch.Let people know you have an amazing offer coming so they can get excited about the possibilities. This helps them make an informed buying decision and feel good about saying YES when the offer is finally revealed.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Memberships do not have to be complicated. Seriously!They can be very streamlined, very simple. It all comes down to the promise that you're making.Now, if you have a coaching program, what better thing to put on the back because you know, there's only so many people that are going to keep renewing for another thing, coaching element.But if you had a maintenance program, if you had a back-end membership that gave the opportunity for people to stay connected with you even after that experience, same thing with the course, the natural tension that people have.it's all about the long game.It's having a lifetime value of a client having something where you truly can help people make the transformation that you want for them.Nobody loses, it's a win-win-win all the way around.And the interesting thing is because we're intentional, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

When it's time to promote your business or launch a new offer, so many entrepreneurs throttle themselves. They let self-doubt and limiting beliefs stop them from putting themselves out there. They assume people already know what they do or should just find them.But we live in a noisy, oversaturated world. If you're not actively and consistently sharing who you are, what you do, and how you can help, your competitors will.So take one small step outside your comfort zone each day—send another email, do one more social post, follow up with someone you've been hesitating to reach out to.Doing those little things will separate you from 99% of the competition. And that makes all the difference.Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

If you want to be productive, you need to stop multitasking!Did you know that switching tasks and multitasking takes a lot of energy? Each time you switch tasks your brain has to play catch up.Instead of trying to do everything at once or trying to jump from thing to thing, sit down and really designate time to accomplish each thing. Allow yourself to get into a flow state. When you do that, it's going to allow your creativity to shine, it's going to allow you to really impact your audience with a clear message and it's going to save time, energy and sanity for you as well. It's going to be a better overall experience for everyone.So, get into that flow state rather than that haphazard multitasking state.

Now a lot of people look at Melissa and I's successes, they see the multiple offers that we do, they see all the things and it's very common that people come up to us. And they're like, oh, we want to do you have multiple memberships, you have a bunch of offers and things and what they don't realize it's taken us many years to get here.We actually only put one offer at a time in the marketplace. We tweaked it, we tested it, we got it down to the point that allowed us to freedom in the time and energy and space to then create the next logical step for the next offer.If you just compare and look over at our entire frontal system, you would in a blink go, ”oh, I need to do all of that”.And it's like, no, we didn't just do all of that.

Embrace your mistakes! Celebrate them and learn from them.This is important. I really want you to celebrate your mistakes because you're one of the few that took action that got out of your head that made a decision and moved forward.You took that step.And, when you take that step, you have a new point of view, you have a new lens from where you were before, you'll never go back to where you were before. Because now, even if it was a mistake, even if it was something that didn't work quite perfectly and that's the great thing when it comes to marketing your business when it comes to putting yourself out there into the world like that, that perspective will allow you to pivot adjust change because again, we talk about all the time, marketing is testing, and the only way that you're going to test is you have to be vulnerable enough to put out imperfection is put out things that are not perfect because it's the market feedback that we don't have until we put our thing out into the world.So go ahead and make mistakes.

Once you've filled your challenge, the real work begins in delivering it. In this episode, we’re sharing some of our top tips to ensure you have a successful launch.Keeping your challenge short can be more effective since longer challenges often see higher drop-off rates as people lose interest or get overwhelmed.Making the trainings in your launch digestible and giving your audience quick wins will keep your audience engaged and more open to your offers.Lastly, we cover one of the most common mistakes marketers make during their launches: overteaching.While giving value is important, too much information leads to less conversions. You want people excited for your offer, not feeling like they got everything they need for free.Give them a taste of what life can be like for them and guide them toward your offers, where you’ll deliver the full transformation.Find the full show notes here: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/how-to-deliver-a-challenge-launch-that-worksResources:Challenge Launch Challenge -We’ll pull back the curtain and show you exactly what we've been doing the past couple of years with Challenges & Launches and led us to make a million dollars this year!Adaptive Marketing Program - Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!For a list of our resources & recommendations visit: https://onlinemarketingpodcast.com/learn-with-paul-melissa/Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruittFacebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com

Paul and I always talk about taking action and implementing, and that is super important, you definitely need to do that in your business to get things done, but there is a point where you are going to be learning new things, learning new terms, learning new marketing strategies, learning stuff that you’ve never been exposed to before, and you need to take the time to learn those things.So, if you’re in that learning phase right now, that is totally okay, you’re totally where you need to be.

Traditional sales funnels are dead!Oh my goodness, pretty controversial right? Yes, but stick with me. I want you to really think about this, when it comes to marketing and sales, it’s a process right?Over the years, through the centuries of doing marketing and sales, there have been different tactics, methods and processes to get people through to that point of purchase.In the past we had posters, television, magazines, and newspapers. These were the things that guided our buying decisions.What happens these days? We have blogs and podcasts and YouTube and Facebook lives. So, while the strategy is the same, the tactics are always going to shift and change.When it comes to funnels, it's not really a new concept either.What is new is that the people coming into the space, they've gotten spoiled with how easy things have been over the last several years: all the targeting and retargeting, the extra information that we're able to gather about people, and what happened was we as marketers, we got used to how easy it was.With the IOS changes and privacy issues shifting all over the place, we need to be adaptable and lean in to the new and different opportunities that are being provided to us, because different doesn’t mean bad!Resources:Adaptive Marketing Program - The Adaptive Marketing Program is an exclusive opportunity for online business owners, coaches, course creators, and membership site owners to play bigger and bolder in their business and explode their bank account with more clients!Connect with us on social!Instagram: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Facebook: @realpaulpruitt & @realmelissapruitt Mentioned in this episode:Funnels CakeFunnels Cake - www.FunnelsCake.com
