Episode 730 | The SaaS Launchpad: The Ultimate Course for Launching Your Product

Listen Later

In episode 730, Craig Hewitt turns the table and interviews Rob Walling about releasing The SaaS Launchpad course. Craig, founder of Castos, asks Rob about the course's purpose and structure, which founders that it’s designed for, and why he made a course as opposed to a new book, or a YouTube series. They also discuss the pricing strategy, hosting platforms, accountability, community, and more.

If you’re trying to take your SaaS from zero to one, purchase The SaaS Launchpad before September 30th to get access to a live Q&A with Rob.

Topics we cover: 
  • 2:00 – Why a course?
  • 4:35 – Who is it for?
  • 9:37 – Breaking down the pricing behind the course
  • 14:32 – Choosing a platform to host the course
  • 17:47 – Enabling action from those who enroll
  • 27:33 – Course topics that help founders get early traction
  • 30:26 – The biggest problems early-stage founders face
