Ep 29 - How to Launch Your First Course

The Growth Show with Whitney Bateson

Whitney breaks down the crucial steps to launching a successful online course in this solo episode. She stresses the importance of audience validation and pre-selling, explaining why understanding your audience’s needs should always come before creating your course. Whitney also highlights common mistakes wellness entrepreneurs often make—like spending too much time perfecting a course without validating the idea or neglecting effective marketing efforts.

Listeners will walk away with practical strategies for building and engaging an audience, pre-selling a course, setting up waitlists, and using beta customer feedback to fine-tune the course content and marketing approach. Whitney also covers the essential role of your website in supporting a course launch and shares ongoing marketing and funnel strategies to ensure long-term success.
