127: To Succeed with Courses, You Need the Right MINDSET (Part 2)

Listen Later
We’re back, and we’re still talking about mindset! It was great to debunk common mindset myths for online course creators last week, and I really felt we needed to continue our conversation

"If you’re afraid to ask for reviews, you need to reevaluate your course and the quality you are providing."

- Jacques Hopkins

It’s always a good time to refocus, challenge limiting beliefs, and adjust your mindset. I really enjoyed my conversation with David, and I think you will too!

In This Episode, We Talked About: 

  • (2:03) Why we’re revisiting this topic and what’s new for me since last week
  • (9:00) How to think about affiliate programs and resources
  • (11:08) Thoughts on the Patreon model
  • (15:24) The fear of asking for testimonials and reviews
  • (17:00) A misconception about choice and a way I could be leveraging this more with my own course
  • (20:30) An interesting suggestion from David (warning: this involves math) ;)
  • (22:22) Scarcity strategies: are they smart, or manipulative? Plus a recent example of why I’m a fan
  • (26:40) How my webinar funnel and signup incentives work
  • (28:28) Payment options and how personal preferences can be misleading
  • (31:08) Making things as clear as possible for the student
  • (33:08) Giving up on a strategy vs. productive troubleshooting
  • (37:17) Getting over the fear of outsourcing
  • (40:43) How David implements strategies from a book that has inspired us both
  • (45:57) Email frequency, unsubscribe options, and not being annoying
  • (50:29) A common myth about running out of students
  • (52:31) Got feedback?
  • (54:26) Getting the right people “on the bus”

    • Whew! That about does it for today - don’t forget to join us for the next episode! We’ll be back to our regular interview format and I’m really looking forward to this one. Have a safe and healthy week!
