Launch Your Damn Course Accelerator by Natalie Sisson

Enrollment is closed

If you want to make a real impact and profit with your own online course then it's time to launch it!

Launching your online course is one of the most challenging yet rewarding endeavours you can do.

The good news is, with our current global crisis shaking up people's futures and careers, there's been a huge surge in online learning. People are hungry to learn new skills and not only survive, but thrive in the future of work.

They want to learn from YOU. They want to know what you already know and are ready to teach, and they're more than happy to pay you for your skills and experience.

And it’s only going to become more relevant as Research and Markets forecasts show online learning will grow to $325 Billion by 2025. That is triple the growth since 2015!

What's more the online course market, according to Podia, is worth $46 Billion and growing my friend.

And you deserve a piece of that!

Introducing the Launch Your Damn Course 60 Day Accelerator

Join today for $47

This Accelerator is all about helping you to take action, so that at the end of the 60 days you will have researched, validated, designed and pre-sold your damn course!

Yes you heard me right! Rather than spend time and money creating an entire course before you know if people are even willing to buy it, you will work the smart way by reverse engineering this process and getting paid upfront to create and deliver your course.

There's no point in you wasting precious hours creating all that content if you haven't validated who will buy your course. That's why I teach you a method that puts profit in your pocket first!

And I TRULY believe that EVERYONE has something of value to teach others, and that a course is one of the best ways to reach more people than you ever thought possible and make an impact - plus a healthy dose of revenue!

Why haven't you launched your damn course yet?

Let me tell you the reasons, because I've heard them all, starting with your inner voice talking to you right now saying:

But who am I to launch a course, I'm no expert?
I don't know enough about anything in particular to even create a course
Why would someone pay me to teach them what I know?
My experience isn't unique and besides there are heaps of others doing this, right?

Or you're telling yourself stories that don't serve you (and by the way, everyone thinks these things, including me when I started out):

I just can't handle the tech stuff, it's so overwhelming to me
I am no good at selling and it freaks me out
I don't even know what platform to use or how to handle payments
How could I market this when I don't even have a big list?
I have no idea on what to charge - I mean how do I put a value on this?
I have so many ideas for courses, I don't know which one to choose!
I don't like being on camera, or putting myself out there
I don't know where to start and how to create online content
I'm not sure of the correct format.... is it a course or a 10 point video, or a once off masterclass?

And don't even start with the:

I'd love to do this but I really don't have the time. Launches take forever, right?
I know that I'll need to spend money and I really can't afford much
I feel unqualified to teach people what I know

This isn't a course. It's an accelerator!

I know where you are, I know how you're feeling and I know all the reasons you think you can't launch a profitable online course. I've been there my friend and I can tell you it's damn scary, and it's real, and you will need to get out of your comfort zone.

But on the other side of fear is joy, elation, delighted students, incredible feedback, excitement, energy and financial freedom!

Launching your damn course will be the best personal growth experience of your life, let alone for your bottom line!

This Accelerator gets results because

I designed it that way.

From my 9 years experience in launching courses to the tune of over half a million dollars, as well as extensive research around learning design and behaviour, you need:

Constraints (on your time and with deadlines)
Commitment from both sides - for example blocking in calendar time to do the work
Accountability - someone checking in on you and your progress to hold you to your word
Accountability buddies or groups - like-minded people who get and know where you’re at
Strategic and personalized guidance from a leading learner (ahead of you) or an expert
A learning environment that encourages curiosity and a safe space to ask your questions.

Most courses simply let you self direct your own learning and expect you to schedule in time to implement and learn on your own. Mine contains all those elements above to make sure you learn and implement and get results!

Hear from my wonderful students!

Made 10 X her investment in course sales, grew her email list by 350 subscribers.

After 6 years of wanting to launch, Emma Back made it a reality. In her first launch she made over $1,300. Then went on to sell out her next round and double her launch income making $4,000 and having a waitlist!

$4,500 in course sales with a tiny list and engaged real estate clients.

Roxanne Reid from Hestia Marketing

2.5 years of wanting to launch to 7 sales in a week and $1500 in revenue!

Jenny Lachs from Digital Nomad Girls

"Honestly this really is an amazing course, I totally loved it"

Siobhain added almost 150 subscribers to list organically, made affiliate sales and is set to launch her course this month!

I know where you are, I know how you're feeling and I know all the reasons you think you can't launch a profitable online course.

I've been there my friend and I can tell you it's damn scary, and it's real, and you will need to get out of your comfort zone.

But on the other side of fear is joy, elation, delighted students, incredible feedback, excitement, energy and financial freedom!

Launching your damn course will be the best personal growth experience of your life, let alone for your bottom line!

Here's what you can expect

This is a LIVE 60 Day Accelerator starting September 7th 2020, designed to get you to take massive action so that by day 60 you will have already pre-sold at least one spot on your course before you've even created it - and no doubt have paid back what you invested in this course!

You will be doing this alongside your fellow friends who are part of this Accelerator and just as committed as you are to making this happen.

#1. Online Micro Learning

We work best with short, sharp bite-sized learning where we can take immediate action. The course modules in this are designed to be engaging, effective and quick to implement. You'll be able to login at anytime and learn at your own pace as the modules are released. These will be available as video, audio and transcripts and come with templates or resources where needed.

#2. Online Group Coaching

Every two weeks we will come together for an intimate live group coaching session on Zoom, where we will check in with each other and you will share your wins and challenges, before deep diving into having me coach you on whatever you need to move forward and launch!

#3. Cool Course Community

Learning needs action to be effective, so that's why you'll get access to our private Facebook group, where you can share wins and challenges, ask questions, post updates and receive awesome support, answers, motivation and help 24/7.

#4. Accountability and Support

You will be cheered, supported and held accountable on this 60 day journey by me with a weekly email that keeps you on track, focused and where I will personally reply to any challenges you have and coach you through it.

What’s in the Launch Your Damn Course Accelerator?

There are four foundational learning modules, complemented by the twice monthly coaching calls and the accountability group available 24/7.

Module 1: Validate your course idea and ideal customer.

Week 1 + 2
Before you go dreaming up a course you need to understand how to leverage your sweetspot! The intersection between your skills, knowledge and experience that people will actually pay you for. Then we can go about understanding who needs what you have to offer, who your ideal customer is and get inside their heads to understand exactly how you can help them and what value they will place on your course. This is the key stage that so many course creators miss. Not you though!

Module 2: Build your email list and early buzz.

Week 3+ 4
Now that you know what you're going to offer and to who, it's time to get in front of them so they get to know, like, and trust you. It's important to do this early on, even before you know exactly what your course will entail and when you will launch it.

Without an audience and a group of people who are already interested in what you have to offer, your launch will be a flop and you'll only hear crickets when you open up to presell. This module will show you all the ways in which you can reach and enroll your ideal customer. Then it's up to you do to the work and make it happen!

Module 3: Launch, market and pre-sell your course!

Week 5 + 6
This is it. The moment you've been working towards. This is the stage where you put the pedal to the metal and make sh#t happen. By following the course checklist lessons and using your bonus checklist, you will make sure you feel ready and confident to market and presell your course, not frazzled and overwhelmed (although you can be sure there will definitely be moments when you feel that way - it's natural).

Module 4: Create and deliver your course LIVE

Week 7 + 8.

Once you start seeing course sales coming in and students enrolling you will no doubt freak out that you haven't actually created your course yet! But don't worry it's all part of the plan. Presell your course first THEN deliver and knock their socks off. This is the part you will do live and I will make sure you that you have a plan of attack of exactly how to deliver your course easily and effectively on your pilot run.

About Your Teacher Natalie Sisson

Hi. I'm Natalie Sisson, an Online Business Strategist, Author, Speaker, Podcaster, Teacher and lover of handstands.

For the last 10 years I've been designing, creating and selling over 30 online courses to the tune of $600,000 in revenue with 80% profit margins!

From mini launches through to the full shebang, I've done it all and along the way learned all the things you really need to do to rock a launch as well as some awesome screwups and failures that have provided me with the best education around how to launch right!

My courses are designed to get you results while empowering you to apply what you learn in the best way.

My superpower is bringing fantastic people together to support each other in this learning, while I crack the whip (in a loving and supportive way) to get you past your own roadblocks so you take massive action.

I've designed this accelerator to give you the confidence to believe in yourself, and take mini steps towards designing, validating and preselling your course, by sharing only the most important things you need to know and do to be successful.

My mission is to prove to you that your skills, knowledge and experience are what people need and will pay for.

No hype. Just value, knowledge and results.

This Accelerator is designed to ensure you presell your minimum viable course and make the price of this live course back and even double or triple your investment.

I'm here to get you results and show you what a lucrative revenue stream online courses can be. Imagine receiving an extra income of $1,000 or $5,000 or $10,000 per month once you've tested, validated and pre-sold your course?!

What's more you can continue to grow and scale that without you personally having to work longer or harder. That's the beauty of being able to scale a course beyond yourself.

If you agree to turn up and commit for the full 60 days, I agree to provide personalised coaching and teaching to make sure you get:

Clarity on what you’re creating
Answers to questions when you need them
Direct coaching, feedback and reviews from me as you progress
Dedicated time to learn and implement
Strategic short-cuts to help you leap ahead
Support and cheerleading for the natural dips and highs

Who is this Accelerator ideal for?

It is ideal for anyone wanting to teach others what they know, like, are naturally good at, or are learning and applying themselves.

Yes it is that simple. You are unique and you have unique gifts to share with the world.

You’d like to turn your hard-earned knowledge into an income stream
You’ve ever wondered if you have the skills to teach an online course
You’re taking your offline business online
You’re looking to earn more income from your “side hustle”
You want to extend your reach and influence by sharing what you know
You’re a coach, trainer, consultant, freelancer, or influencer seeking new revenue opportunities.

It is NOT for people who:

Aren't prepared to commit, show up and do the work
Won't block out their calendar in advance to make time to go on this journey
Can't get out of their own way and want to stick to their excuses
Are not prepared to invest in themselves fully or spend money where needed.

Launching and selling your own damn course is the BEST way to impact others and transform your own!

Natalie’s Launch your Damn Course has been inspiring. The content is excellently organized, clear, and engaging. Her videos and workbooks are concise and helpful – and it’s great to be able to review them over and over again! I have been able to narrow down my own focus, make practical strides based on her guidance and stay motivated thanks to her quick, on-point, and meaningful feedback.

You will not only get an online course teaching you how to launch your own damn course, but also the 60 minute group coaching calls with me, as well as 24/7 access to accountability and support, plus the bonus of lifelong friends doing this with you. That's a lot of access to me, helping you BIG time, when you need it most.

Jennifer Campbell, Founder of actionimpactmovement.com

What type of courses can I create?

I have the most amazing variety of students and courses who have gone through my Accelerator from a wide range of industries and backgrounds.

Here's a sample of course areas they created in:

Getting paid gigs for your band
Making healthy flower cream butter cupcakes
Project management for Real Estate Marketing Agents
Overcoming Anxiety and gaining confidence
Becoming a digital nomad
Change Management in a VUCA world
How to get a better sleep
How to create exceptional guest experiences on AirBnB
Flower Farmer's Business Know-How
Leadership and development
How to charge the right fees and earn more as a copywriter
How to create and design active wear
And even more!

I intentionally limited the students in each cohort initially, as I wanted to fully pilot and test this Accelerator to be the best experience I've delivered.

80% of students started with a tiny email list and often no idea of what their course would be, so I knew that results would vary.

What happened next, amazed even me.

To date, my students in this Accelerator have grown their lists collectively by 4,000 subscribers and their course sales to over US$28,000 in just two months (those are just from people who've shared their results)!

Websites were built, sales pages written, ideal avatars found, courses created, curriculums designed, optins created, lists grown and sales made!

More importantly mindsets were shifted to one of belief and confidence that making money online and launching their damn course was entirely up to them and completely achievable.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee for 60-Days

I stand firmly and proudly behind this 60 Day Accelerator designed to get you results. Your success is my number one focus. If, at the end of the 60 Day period you have not made one sale, even after going through the four online modules and implementing what you've learned, and attending all the live group coaching and co-working calls, I will gladly refund you in full. You can even keep access to the course materials and bonuses. I've got your back remember!

Here's what more students have to say

What I liked most was the accountability, and having Natalie on hand to answer my questions because in the past I have got stuck on even the most simple decisions and wasted time on the wrong things.

It helped me get a sense of momentum, moving past those blocks, and I loved the group support. I loved the personal feedback from Natalie and the way she simplified the process. It really feels doable now, and I can't believe I let such small things stop me in the past.

But they seemed like big things back then. I'm feeling so much more positive that I can do this!

Chris Callananan, Founder of chrisicallanan.com

Natalies Accelerator allowed me to learn so many golden nuggets of information to get my course in good shape, not just from the direct coaching I received but from observing the rest of the teams journeys in the group calls.

The coaching sessions were brilliant to give me the kick up the bum and energy I needed to know I wasn’t alone in this journey. I loved seeing how differently we were all approaching things and learning from each other as well as Natalie.

FAQs

When does this start and how much time will I need?

We officially kick off week beginning September 7th when you will get access to the first foundational module. We will finish on November 5th, 2020.

In terms of time, the more you can set aside and lock in to work on the course modules and implementation, the more likely you are to have a successful presell and launch!

I'd suggest that a minimum of 2-3 hours per week is needed and that will be a solid amount of time to really make progress.

Plus each week an hour for the coaching or coworking call (and these are inbuilt working sessions - bonus!).

What dates are the live coaching calls?

There are 4 x 60 minute coaching calls in total, where you get to apply to be on a hotseat and have laser-focused coaching on you, or learn from others doing the same.

Live Call times: Wednesday September 9, 23, October 7 and 21 at 8pm GMT time. This is 1pm PST | 4pm EST | Thursday at 8am NZ time.

There's also a Bonus Wrap-up and Celebration Call on November 5th at 8pm GMT time. This is 1pm PST | 4pm EST | Thursday at 8am NZ time.

Use this handy tool to see the time it will be for you http://www.thetimezoneconverter.com/

What can I expect in our private Facebook Group

This is a supportive space where you can ask questions you have about the course lessons as they're released and you're working through them. It's perfect for support and coaching in between our live coaching calls and for getting advice from your peers and previous cohort students who've been where you are and launched.

Plus I'll personally be going live in there once a week to set your focus and hold you accountable.

Will I get access to all the lessons at once?

You'll get immediate access to Module 1 and the lessons, which are all designed to be short, sweet and actionable.

This is the most fundamental and foundational module so it's worth taking the time to go through it, and use the workbook to work through your actions.

Module 2 will go live two weeks later, module 3 two weeks after that and module 4, yep you guessed it, two weeks after that.

This is so you don't get overwhelmed and focus on what's most important at the time I'm delivering it to you, so you launch your damn course!

Will I actually create and launch and entire course?

Nope. While this is called Launch Your Damn Course, and that's exactly what I want for you to do, it's not about creating all the content and structure (you will work on that though to an extent).

It's actually about understanding what you offer, validating your audience and launching your course sales page to pre-sell your course before doing all that work!

Then once you have actual sales and students enrolled you can run your course live at a date that feels doable to you and lets you prepare and deliver as you go, based on what you've designed.

Will I need to invest in anything else aside from this?

Great question and most likely yes, especially if you want a professional looking course and eventually a thriving online business.

During the Accelerator I will be sharing a few key tools that will make your life easier such as an email provider if you don't have one, a course platform provider (easy to use and affordable) and other free and paid for tools to make sure you have a great launch.

It's up to you what you wish to invest in and you may even end up saving money when I share what you really need versus what you may already have. I'd budget around $100-200 tops.

I believe you can do this.

I truly believe that there is no better time than now to launch your damn course.

If you've been holding back for years because you don't think you have what it takes, or you're overwhelmed by the technical set up, or you think you can't afford to invest in yourself, or worse - you simply think it won't work for you...I hear you.

I had all the same doubts when I created my first course. But when I struggled through with no help and made my very first sale of $297 I was THRILLED. I couldn't believe it!

That's why I designed this Accelerator - to alleviate all those worries, because I'm right here with you, guiding, teaching, coaching and showing you step by step how to do this for yourself and sharing only what you need to know and do so you can avoid the long nights, tears and money wasted that I did over the years.

Remember, this an experience where you're supported and held accountable to get over any roadblock and make launching your course a reality.

Imagine how amazing you will feel when you've made your first sale and are on your way to create a real revenue stream by getting paid to be uniquely you and making an impact in other peoples' lives by helping them?

Damn amazing that's how. Let's do this!
