Pop Quiz: What should you do after your launch?
(mark all that apply)
☐ Head to the beach for 2 weeks?
☐ Do a post-launch review?
☐ Make another offer?
☐ Go off the grid until you recover from the launch?
☐ Send a survey to people who didn't buy?
☐ Sleep?
☐ _________________________
The one thing many people miss out on is making ANOTHER offer right after your launch. It sounds like adding more to an already exhausting process, but you can plan for this additional offer and make it PART of your launch.
Listen to this week's episode where I share 5 ways to boost your launch revenue and give you a cash injection...planning for this can turn around a launch that didn't go well and amplify a launch that does do well!

Getting organized and staying organized during a launch is one of the single most important and challenging things to do. A launch hub is a perfect way to make sure you have everything you need at every stage of your launch.
But here's why we need a launch hub in the first place. You've got...
So. Many. Things.
At first glance, it might not seem like a problem.
As your team grows, as your relaunch multiple times, as your student enrollments increase, you’ll start to look for stuff...
Keep listening to learn what we include in the hub. It's the single most important system for your launch--one that you need if you're working alone or with a team!

There’s tons of advice out there telling online entrepreneurs how to build successful products, having successful launches. But what about the habits and practices to start doing that will support your launches?
Most small business owners spend very little time actually in launch mode. So why does it feel like we’re always in some state of launching?
Maybe because we’re avoiding the practices of running an actual business.
You forget that you’re running an actual business - which means doing boring, but important administrative tasks.
Today, we’re going to look at 3 areas that often get avoided -- intentionally and unintentionally.
Let's go behind the scenes and inside Kristoffer "KC" Carter's book launch for Permission To Glow.
Permission to Glow creates awareness of the universal forces that hold us back and offers 4 Permissions we can activate “to transcend the crazy train of overwhelm and disruption by using everything life offers as fuel to glow.”
Here's what we talk about in today's episode:
KC also shares nuggets from the book and the 4 Permissions Framework.

What if people were waiting for you to launch your course or program? I mean, you get emails, asking you when you're going to launch, how to join your program, how to work with you.
That would feel pretty good, right?
Today is more of a reflection episode where I'll ask you some questions to prep for building your list...you can do that with me if you join my 2-day live workshop here: https://listleadlaunch.com
It's time to start building your list so people are getting ready to work with you before you even tell them anything about your offer!
So have a listen and then let me know...are people waiting for your offer? If they aren't, let's work together to make that a reality.
xoxo
Today's raw and quick episode reminds you to build your list YOUR WAY.
If you're an extrovert, you love competition, shouting it out to the world what you're up to...
If you're an introvert, you want your business to feel more natural, with less pushing...
No matter what your natural inclination is...you can build your list for your next launch!
Don't miss our live event on August 19th & 20th to help you set up your own launch list-building system...
Doors close soon, so sign up to get access to this special training--even if you can't be there live!
There's one big shift you'll need to make to build your list for your launch. Your old way of list-building is not going to work anymore either. Today's episode talks about the difference and what to do about it!

Today we’re talking about how to use virtual events. They are one of the best ways to kick off any type of course launch.
Why are they so great? Well, virtual events give your audience a set period of time with you (hopefully live) to get to know you, experience how you teach, and hopefully come out on the other side accomplishing something.
Since they’ve been used FOREVER…in so many different industries—they are perfect no matter what your business is, if you’ve got a course, a physical product, or a service.

Do you offer bonuses during your launches?
If so, how confident are you that these bonuses add to your main offer? Do you feel like you’re picking willy nilly and just offering random things to add to the stack, hopefully adding value to your main offer?
If you’re not sure or the bonuses don’t really seem to have any effect on whether people buy or not, today’s episode is for you.
Here's your show notes/blog post: https://annesamoilov.com/offer-bonuses-during-your-launch/
Do you know what's on your marketing plan for the next 6 months? Do you know when you're going to launch and what you're going to launch? Sometimes the most simple way to make progress in your business is to create a map.
I like 6-month maps because so much can change in that short period of time, so I usually sketch out all the things I want to offer, put out into the world, and focus on during that time.
Join me today to learn how you can create your own 6-month marketing calendar.
And then, if you get in the planning mode, make sure to check out my Launch Planning Bundle...it includes a 12-month map maker to help you get clarity on all your marketing moves.

Launching is a juggling act...
We kind of all know that, but it doesn't have to be one that leaves us tired, stressed, or overwhelmed. In fact, just the number of things
Cognitive load is the part of your working memory that is affected by all the new things, decisions, and long list of things you have to handle on any given day.
And when that load is too high, guess what happens? We get stressed, become less effective, make bad decisions...
So, if new things, lots of things, decisions are all part of launching, how can we lower the load and have better launches?

Searching for that one thing that'll make your business a success? Whether it's a new product or a new strategy...or changing your audience...If you're constantly changing things up, experimenting, starting fresh, are you improving your business or staying stuck?

Today's episode covers something that has helped me and my launches immensely as I've gone through my business, different types of launches, and stay on top of all the moving pieces of a launch...verbal processing.
What is verbal processing and how do I do it? Can you do it alone? Do you need someone else to give you feedback? How to get started?
Mentioned today:
Every launch is a system of pieces and moving parts that help you deliver an experience to your audience. Just like any other system you'd create, you should be able to revise, improve, and repeat this system so you're never starting from scratch.
Today's episode reveals 5 keys to a successful launch system. You can get started on these 5 keys today, no matter what your experience with launching a course or coaching program is!
Which keys do you need to create?
Resources:
Ever felt like you just don't know how to sell? You're launching your course, writing all the emails, getting people ready to enroll...and yet, the moment you have to ask for the sale...it just feels wrong.

The great side effect is that your audience and soon-to-be customers will also feel like it's more natural to work with you too!
Resources:
