7 Steps to Increase Your Course and Membership Sales

Not generating the online profits you want? 

 

Struggling to create landing pages that convert? 

 

Frustrated by underperforming sales funnels?  

 

Don’t panic here are 7 simple steps to increasing your course and membership sales. 

 

Without effective landing pages and sales funnels, your online business will struggle. In this thread, I’ll show you how to create high-converting pages and funnels that will attract and convert leads. Ready? Here we go!

 

Step 1: Clearly define your target audience and their needs. Think about who they are, their goals, motivations, and pain points. Use this information to create a customer avatar that guides your copy and design choices. 

 

Step 2: Craft a compelling offer that speaks directly to your customer avatar. Your offer should solve their #1 problem or fulfill their ultimate desire. Make it easy to understand, highlight its value, and use persuasive language to encourage action. 

 

Step 3: Design a visually appealing and user-friendly landing page that matches your offer. Use a clear and concise headline, subheading, and call-to-action. Make sure your page loads fast and looks great on all devices. 

 

Step 4: Use a proven sales funnel structure that guides your leads towards the desired action. Start with a free or low-cost offer that leads to a higher-priced offer. Use upsells, downsells, and cross-sells to increase revenue per customer. 

 

Step 5: Use social proof to increase credibility and trust. Include testimonials, reviews, case studies, and social media mentions on your landing page and throughout your sales funnel. 

 

Step 6: Optimize your landing pages and sales funnels for conversions. Use A/B testing, heat maps, and analytics to track and improve your conversion rates. Test different headlines, offers, calls-to-action, and layouts. 

 

Step 7: Keep testing, learning, and improving. Landing pages and sales funnels are not set-and-forget assets. Regularly review and analyze your metrics to identify areas for improvement. Experiment with new offers, designs, and copy. 

 

Creating high-converting landing pages and sales funnels for your online business is crucial to attract and convert leads. It all starts with knowing your audience and crafting an offer they would feel stupid to turn down. So what’s the first thing your going to implement?

  • The assessment grades your business across 7 key metrics and helps you “Unmask hidden profit killers in only two minutes” to give you clarity on the health and scalability of your business. The promise is clear and unambiguous. After just 2 minutes, you will get your results and, with it, have identified what is holding you back from scaling.
blank
  • On your assessment results page, you are asked to schedule a results call. Book-a-call funnels and assessments are made to go with each other. The biggest problem I have seen with the book-a-call funnel is the purpose of the call doesn’t align with the next steps of the person opting in. With an assessment, you can offer a deep dive into the results, plus from a sales perspective, you have all the data you need to close the person into a coaching program.

Attention-Grabbing Open Loops in Facebook Ads for Coaches

Attention-Grabbing Open Loops in Facebook Ads for Coaches

Michael Hyatt is one of the few “gurus” who has successfully transitioned from a personality-based business to an independent brand.

 

Over the past few years, he has transistioned from Michael Hyatt & Co. to Full Focus.

 

But this doesn’t mean he can’t use personality in his ads

blank

What an opening to an ad.

 

  • An open loop is established with the first line and a direct call out to the avatar. Everyone wants to know what their “Achilles Heel” is. Especially as most people’s Achilles Heel’s high in plain sight. In our AIDA framework, with just 8 words, we can tick off the “A” for attention.
  • Then boom….. I had a heart attack. But this is amplified by the specificity – August 2022. From an AIDA perspective, this builds massive Interest and lures us down the slippery slope. To build our interest, Michael then draws us in with his story leading to his hear attack.

 

The ad then continues…..

blank
  • Micheal tells you that he thought he was doing everything right. Working out and eating properly, but there was a hidden sub-particle that caused his heart attack. He then transitions, asking you if there is a hidden sub-particle in your business that could lead to it blowing up. The solution….. Take my assessment to discover the hidden traps that could kill your business.

 

This is such a smart ad copy. 

 

Word of warning:

No matter how attention-grabbing the intro is, I don’t recommend causing yourself a heart attack to give you copy ammunition.

 

But you can certainly apply this to lesser-impact outcomes.

Deep Dive into Facebook Ad Copy Testing Strategy

Deep Dive into Facebook Ad Copy Testing Strategy

Let’s talk about hooks.

Hooks are one of the most important elements of your ad. 

A strong hook gets buy-in and commitment. 

If your hook captures someone’s attention for even 2 seconds, they’re on the slippery slope.

Most people don’t test enough hooks.

Let’s look at Ryan Levesque’s approach to testing hooks:

What we learn from Ryan’s hook testing strategy:

  1. Test more. These are just 9 of Ryan’s hook tests for his workshop
  2. All the hooks are focused on the prospect
  3. All the hooks call out the prospect (without saying, Attention coaches and consultants!) 
  4. All the hooks are pain or frustration focused
  5. The hooks are short and to the point. Only one is over two lines of text
  6. 8/9 hooks are questions
  7. Many ads use different hooks but the same body copy

 

I’m not saying this is the only way to write a hook, but this is a very good framework to apply when you are writing hooks for your next campaign.
