10 Ideas for Launching a New Product—Without Some Scummy Countdown Timer to Create Urgency
I'm sure you noticed, but this is the first of a BRAND NEW episode format! One of the most valuable habits I've picked up in the past few months has been writing down 10 ideas about absolutely anything every single morning. And I thought, why am I keeping these (sometimes) golden nuggets from my audience?
So, keep an eye out for these kinds of episodes moving forward!
Traditional launches (looking at you, Jeff Walker-ites) are RUINING the world of digital marketing.
They're all running the same formula of a few videos, a workshop/webinar series, and a shit-ton of sales emails in a VERY short period of time. All for a cart that's open for a few weeks a year, at most...
Believe it or not, you can actually have some success without doing the same damn thing that everybody's been doing for the past 10 years because it's "proven".
So today we're going to be talking about 10 ideas for launching a new product without some scummy countdown timer, to create urgency.
And, as always, the goal of this show is to help people just like you find the freedom that I know you deserve. So, if you loved today’s episode or you learned ANYTHING at all, my only ask is that you share this show with likeminded people.
