I've been running a big experiment with my online course on whether the SCARCITY in my funnel should be the AVAILABILITY of the course (it goes away completely!) or a DISCOUNT (and you can buy the course at full price any time). THE RESULTS ARE IN! Which do you think is the winner?

180: SCARCITY When Selling Your Online Course - Availability vs. Discount (MASSIVE Experiment by Jacques with UNBELIEVABLE Results!)

The Online Course Show is all about exchanging knowledge and helping course creators succeed. I LOVE going straight to the source and hearing people’s firsthand knowledge about what has worked for their business.

There is something for everyone on the show. Funnel hacking, high level strategy, nitty gritty processes, book reviews, productivity tips… the list goes on.

My guests and our discussions run the gamut: we leave no niche uncovered and no online course topic unexplored!

No matter where you are in your journey, The Online Course Show is the best way to stay current on online course trends and learn from successful course creators.
