What should you price your course? That's the million-dollar question! In this episode, let's talk about some of the factors you should consider as you pick (and test!) your prices. Get the full links and show notes at https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/203.RELATED EPISODESE049: The Price Is Right: How to Use the 3rd P of Course MarketingE106: High Ticket vs. Low Ticket Online CoursesE117: Is Your Market Different with Neil Thompson of TeachTheGeek KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR ONLINE COURSE CREATORS   Things to consider: First, your students have to do the work to get the results (no matter what price you choose). And if they do at least 80%, you should get them results. Second thing that can happen - your course or program is not the right fit for the message or the audience. Third, your methods may not work for some students. So fourth... make sure you know who your methods work and do not work for. Fifth, pay attention to your students' experience-level and expectations from your marketing. Value vs. PriceHere are some of the things that are in-between today and the transformation of your course (the value to them):It's just a dream or imagination right now. The student may not believe they can get there.They may not yet believe YOU can get them there.They may not believe THEY can get themselves there. Will they do the work? Have they done things in the past that didn't work? Do they have the discipline?They may not believe in your program… yet.There may be other things they want (or need!) to spend their money on more. Especially right now, I see people being more careful about what they are buying.Practical pricing advice:You must be totally confident in your price!Work on your messaging to reinforce how do-able your program is. Help your potential students see themselves making the journey with you at their side.Use testimonials around all kinds of things – the way you work with them, the results people get, the confidence they built, even one step of your program. All those things build evidence and belief.How can potential students test-drive working with you?This one sounds a bit harsh… but especially if you are selling high ticket, are there ways to help people self-select what program is best for them. There'e more on this in episode 106, when I talked about how you want to sell.Include FAQs to help people decide if you are the right fit and whether it will be the right audience. Make sure you say who the program is NOT for.Stop focusing on what YOU would pay.Set expectations – balance them with sales messaging.Test, test, test! COME VISIT JULIE!  Get on the email list AND get the FREE Ultimate Course Creators Planner -  https://coursecreatorshq.com/2024PlannerPodcast  Get this free course -  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here -https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/ideaGoodPods Let's talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comYouTube  https://coursecreatorshq.com/YouTubePodcast   Facebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@coursecreatorshq  Disclaimers  https://coursecreatorshq.com/disclaimers/

You may have more than one group, but start with just one.  Do you have any idea how to reach them? Are you building an audience yet?  Consider your customer's journey… by this I want you to think about some of obstacles that are popping up for them. What are the questions, frustrations and painful thoughts bouncing around in their head?  Determine exactly what you put into this course – and what will be saved for the next course. What are the minimum steps needed to get from point A to your result or outcome? This should NOT be everything you could teach! What are the minimum steps need to get the result? Now put each one of those steps as the major points in your outline. Fill in sub-steps for each one. When you record your course, each sub-step could potentially be a lesson. Decide what kind of course you want to have – will it be video? Voice over? Audio only? Written only? Base this decision on the best way for your students to learn the material AND what you like to create.  Determine the interactive component – group coaching? 1:1 coaching? Interactive group or message board?  If you decide to presell it, make sure you have a very detailed outline put together and you have plenty of time to create each week's lessons. Otherwise I would build a waitlist.COME VISIT JULIE!  Get on the email list AND get the FREE Ultimate Course Creators Planner -  https://coursecreatorshq.com/2024PlannerPodcast  Get this free course -  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here -https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/ideaGoodPods Let's talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@coursecreatorshq  Disclaimers  https://coursecreatorshq.com/disclaimers/

Pinterest is more organic and has a snowball effect of long-term results. Facebook ads (that have been optimized and tested already) and tend to be quicker, but you have to first optimize them and pay for them.   Is Pinterest good for repurposing your content? Yes!  Should I use my regular VA or social media manager for Pinterest? Since Pinterest is not really a social media site, regular VAs may not understand exactly how Pinterest works.      COME VISIT JULIE!  Get on the email list AND get the FREE Ultimate Course Creators Planner -  https://coursecreatorshq.com/2024PlannerPodcast  Get this free course -  Is My Course Idea Any Good? here -https://www.coursecreatorshq.com/ideaGoodPods Let's talk about this episode on GoodPods – https://CourseCreatorsHQ.com/goodpods (mobile only, download the app first) Website https://www.CourseCreatorsHQ.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/CourseCreatorsHQInstagram  https://www.instagram.com/CourseCreatorsHQTwitter https://www.Twitter.com/CourseHQThreadshttps://www.threads.net/@coursecreatorshq  Disclaimers  https://coursecreatorshq.com/disclaimers/
