Episode 988
THEMES & TAKEAWAYS: We’ve just finished week 37 of Season III! This week featured a dance teacher who launches a toe-tapping online course, as well as personalized hand-drawn greeting cards that tell your story through the mail. I’m excited for tomorrow’s story, it’s a big case study all about two guys who hit a massive Kickstarter success raising funds for a simple camera accessory they designed. It’s one of my favorite stories in a while, so I look forward to bringing it to you. But for now, let’s follow-up on the story of that tap dancer (Ep. 982), as well as the most popular story from the past two weeks, Ep.961 featuring Paula Pant. I’ve talked a bit about that one already, especially two weeks ago in the Weekly Recap entitled: “Why Do a Product Launch Only Twice a Year?” But between that mega-successful course, and the tap dance one, I realized that a lot of our listeners are trying to pursue the course model. So that’s what I’d like to focus on today: what can you do from the outset to design a profitable online course—and what mistakes can you avoid altogether? Listen to the Weekly Recap to learn more!WHERE ARE THEY NOW: Today, we have an update from Marin Gerov from Amsterdam who was featured on the show in Ep. 383 — Two Bulgarian Guys Launch Apparel Company With No Experience. Listen to the Weekly Recap to hear from Marin! Learn more about Marin's company DULO at their website, wearDULO.com.
