Here’s a glance at this episode...

• [05:11] Before you launch, do a 30-60 day pre launch runway to build momentum and attract a bigger audience. 
• [08:38] Be mindful about what you're putting out there. Find your ideal customer avatar, and create content for them that aligns with your future course. 
• [11:16] Ask yourself: Where is my audience now and where do they need to be? What do they need to learn? What mindset shifts do they need to make?
• [12:17] Strategy 1: Tell stories about how you or other people have gotten results through your process.
• [12:57] Strategy 2: Take them behind the scenes. People love it when you share little tidbits about your life and business.
• [14:55] Strategy 3: Hint to your audience that you have a program coming their way. Have conversations that help them move forward towards your course.
• [18:21] Strategy 4: Create a waitlist landing page and segment the emails that come in through that page. Ask your audience to sign up to get the latest news.
• [20:12] During your pre-launch runway, create weekly content that's aligned with your upcoming course. Email your subscribers and share a lead magnet weekly.
