But, building an audience is a long-term goal. It takes years to build audiences from scratch and one needs to be talented and disciplined enough to keep the rhythm.

Testing Your Course’s Potential

This early promotion not only helps you refine your course materials but also generates interest and excitement among potential students, who will be eager to signup during your course launch.

Identify Your Target Audience

Before you begin building a target market for your online course, you need to first understand who your target market is, and to do that, you need to ask yourself these questions:

Who are the people who would benefit most from taking my course, what are their needs, what are the challenges they are facing that requires a solution, and what are they looking for in an online course?

By taking the time to get to know your audience, you can create content that resonates with them and speaks to their pain points. Or, let’s say you’re creating a course about how to start a blog. Your target audience might be people who want to start a blog but are not sure how to choose a topic, set up a website, or write blog posts.

To create content material that resonates with this target market, you can write blog posts about topics like:

1. How to choose a site name that is best for your website

2. High-quality website hosting companies for novices

When you do this, you build a target audience that is engaged and loyal. It’s the most crucial component when trying to launch an online course.

Promote Your Course Early

When you’re in the process of creating your online course, it’s a smart move to start promoting it before it’s fully ready. This early promotion can work wonders for your course’s success, why, you may ask? Here’s why:

Building a waitlist: Initiating early promotion allows you to begin assembling a waitlist of individuals who are eager to take your course once you launch it. Pre-launching your course can help you gauge interest and ensure there’s a demand for it before you officially launch.

Testing your marketing strategies: Early promotion will provide you with an opportunity to test various marketing tactics. This ensures that when the course is ready to launch, you’re armed with insights into what works best.

Generating momentum: The momentum you build through early promotion can be a game-changer for your course launch. When you create anticipation and excitement, you can attract more attention and guarantee a successful online course launch.

Now, let’s talk about some effective ways to promote your course ahead of time:

Paid ads can be a great way to get your course in front of the right people because when you target your ads to people who are interested in your topic, you can increase the chances of them seeing your ad and signing up for your course.

It’s important to strike a balance between value and affordability when pricing your course. You want to make sure that your students are getting a good deal, but you also want to make sure that you’re making a profit.

In order to do this, follow these steps:

Research Market Competitors’ Pricing

You can research your competition’s pricing using the Facebook Ads Library. This tool gives you insights into the pricing strategies of other course creators in your niche.

It allows you to survey the market and ensure your course is competitively priced and offers value within the context of your industry, and when you discover what others are charging, you gain a clearer perspective on the price range for courses like yours.

This knowledge is a valuable asset that empowers you to position your course strategically and ensure you’re not overpricing or underpricing your valuable content.

Determine Your Course Value Proposition

Your course value proposition is what makes your course unique and valuable. It’s what sets your course apart from the competition and makes it worth the price.

When determining your course value proposition, you need to consider the following factors:

• What are the pain points of your target audience?

• What are they struggling with?

• What do they want to achieve?

• How can your course help them solve their problems and achieve their goals?

• What specific skills and knowledge will they learn in your course?

• What makes your course unique?

• What sets it apart from other courses on the same topic?

• What is the value of your course?

• How much are your students willing to pay for the solutions that your course offers?

Once you’ve considered these factors, you can start to develop your course value proposition. Your value proposition should be clear, concise, and persuasive.

Your value proposition should be based on the real benefits that your course can offer. It is one of the most important aspects of your online course launch checklist, and If you can develop a strong course value proposition, you’ll be well on your way to creating a successful online course.

Choose Between a One-time Payment or a Subscription

Before launching an online course, you need to decide whether to charge a one-time fee or a subscription fee. But, before that, know that there are pros and cons to both pricing models, so you need to choose the one that’s right for your course and your target audience.

One-time payment: This is typically lower than subscription fees, which can make your course more affordable for students. It is less risky for students because no commitment to a long-term subscription is required.

It can also generate a larger upfront revenue stream, which can be helpful for new course creators.

But, it can lead to lower lifetime value for your students, as they may not come back for your other courses or products. It can also make it difficult to retain students over time, as they may not feel the need to renew their subscription after they finish your course.

Subscription: This type of payment plan can generate a more consistent revenue stream, as students are committed to paying you on a monthly or annual basis. It can also help you retain students over time, as they will have access to your course content as long as they remain subscribed.

Another good thing is that it can allow you to offer more value to your students, as you can add new content and features on a regular basis.

But, subscriptions are typically more expensive than one-time payments, which can make your course less affordable for students. This may be risky for students, as they have to commit to a long-term subscription.

The best pricing model for your course will depend on your target audience and the type of content you will be creating. If you’re targeting a budget-conscious audience, a one-time payment may be the best option. If you’re targeting an audience that is looking for ongoing support and value, a subscription may be a better choice.

Ultimately, the best way to decide which pricing model is right for you is to test both options and see what works best for your students. As aforementioned, make sure this is decided before you decide to lunch a course.

Consider Tiered Pricing Options

With tiered pricing, you offer different price points for your course based on the features and benefits that each tier includes, which can be a great way to attract a wider range of students and make your course more affordable for everyone.

For example, you could offer a basic tier that includes the core content of your course, and then offer a premium tier that includes additional features such as bonus content, live Q&A sessions, and one-on-one coaching.

When considering tiered pricing, it’s important to think about the following factors:

The features and benefits of each tier: What features and benefits will be included in each tier? Make sure that the benefits of each tier are worth the price difference.

The target audience for each tier: Who is the target audience for each tier? Make sure that the price point of each tier is appropriate for the target audience.

Your budget: How much are you willing to spend on marketing and promotion for each tier?

By considering these factors, you can create a tiered pricing strategy that is effective and profitable for your online course launch.

Implement Special Course Launch Pricing

This is when you offer a discount or promotion on your course during the launch period. This can be a great way to attract early adopters and build momentum for your course.

Now, let’s talk about how you can actually put this strategy into action:

Offer a flat percentage discount on your course during the launch period. For example, you could offer 20% off for the first week of the course launch.

You could offer a free trial of your course during the launch period. This is a great way to let students try your course before they commit to buying it.

You could offer a bundle discount if students buy your course and another product or service from you. For example, you could offer a 10% discount if students buy your course and your ebook.

Special launch pricing can be a great way to attract early adopters and build momentum, which can lead to more sales and can help you reach your target audience. Make sure to make it part of your online course launch checklist.
