There's all kinds of marketing rules out there in the online world that tell you what you should or shouldn't be doing when it comes to getting your offers out there. But the thing is—those one-size-fits-all rules don't take into consideration where you're at and where you want to go. In today's episode, I'm sharing 4 of these rules you can break in your next launch to make more profit.- Why chasing your goals every moment of every day may not be the best choice for you and your business (and what you can do instead).- The importance of doing what's right for you—consistently.- Why outdated marketing fads like building hype and excitement just don't work anymore (did they ever really work in the first place?).- Why launching is about helping people make a decision—not flooding them with value to convince them to buy.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

4 rules to break in your next launch for more profit

Yes. Launches *do* still work, but you do need to adjust your expectations. Things are different in today's online world because the "fads" no longer work. Instead, you need to learn *how* to sell in this economy—otherwise you won't make sales. In today's episode, I'm sharing what you need to know—like the things that *do* sell your offers.- Why launching is a sales process that you can repeat over and over again.- How jumping on board with the latest fads doesn't work—especially in today's economy.- Why focusing on the things that *do* sell, like bridging the Magician's Gap and refining your messaging, will also help your audience to have what they want.- Why people are more discerning with where they spend their money and when.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

Do launches still work in this economy? Here's what you need to know

People often ask me what they should share in their launch content—it's one of the most common questions I hear: "What content should I share in my launch so I'm not giving it all away for free?" or "what's the difference between free and paid content?". In today's episode, I'm sharing how to navigate the content minefield to bust the myths and identify the best types of content to post.- Why launching actually starts 60-90 days *before* your cart opens (and what you can post during this time).- Why teaching your audience what they need to know to be ready to buy your digital product will make conversion so much easier.- The importance of growing your email list with the *right* people for your digital product.- How understanding your audience's hesitations and objections can offer valuable content ideas to share.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “KIT” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to grab my free ebook, The Digital Product Kickstart Kit—3 simple steps to start creating an online course, membership, or other digital product or visit https://stephtaylor.co/digital-product-kickstart-kit- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

The 4 best types of content to post in the lead up to your digital product launch

You don't need to have affiliates, 5 versions of your sales page, 10 bonuses, a challenge AND a webinar, 10 IG lives and an upsell for your next launch. All of these things pile up and create overwhelm in your mind, because you have this huge mental to-do list. In today's episode, I'm sharing 6 ways to avoid overwhelm in your next launch.- Why launching the first time won't bring you a million-dollar launch and why your second launch probably won't be either.- Why plucking launch goals out of thin air such as "I want to enrol 20 students" or "I want to have a $50,000 launch" will cause you unnecessary stress unless it's based on some logical number crunching first.- How focusing too much on your audience size and growth can limit your launching success.- Why "failing" at something new is never a waste of time—everything "new" has a degree of risk and uncertainty.- How too much thinking and planning will only lead to more overwhelm and what you can do instead.SHOW LINKS:- To join the Launch Magic waitlist: DM me "magic" on Instagram (stephtaylor.co) or visit stephtaylor.co/magic- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?

6 ways to avoid overwhelm in your next launch

Launching often looks like a celebration based on the Instagram hype, the "doors open!" countdown timer, and the various posts promoting audience buy-in. But a launch is not about opening doors—it's about the strategy *and* the lead-up. In this episode, I'm explaining the big shift that will set you up for launch success.- The importance of a reliable, rinse-and-repeat sales process for successful launching.- Why launching is an educational journey for your audience, packed full of value, regardless of whether they buy or not.- The benefit of launching before you create it and pivoting to the needs of your audience as needed.- Why capitalising on invaluable non-buyer feedback will help you to make your launch even better next time.SHOW LINKS:- DM me “magic” on Instagram (@stephtaylor.co) to join the Launch Magic waitlist or visit https://learn.stephtaylor.co/launch-magic-waitlist- Get my Daily Biz Booster emails: https://stephtaylor.co/DBB- 5 Simple Tweaks to Boost Your Launch Profits: https://stephtaylor.co/tweaks- Want me to spend a day working on your next launch?
