How to Start Making Money With Your Course Before You Build It

Welcome Freedom Seeker! You're staring at this massive course project thinking, "How do I find time to build ALL of this before I can make money?"

Here's the secret: You don't.

Sell your course first. Then build it module by module while your students go through it.

Sounds backwards? It's actually genius.

Why drip delivery makes pre-selling work:

You're not scrambling. You build Module 1, deliver it, then create Module 2 while students implement Module 1. It's rhythmic, manageable, way less pressure.

Your students actually get BETTER results. They're not overwhelmed by 40 videos at once. They absorb content, do the homework, stay accountable because the next module drops next Tuesday.

The tool that makes this magical:

Drip courses that automatically unlock content at intervals. Plus ringless voicemail – imagine your student finishes Module 3 and gets a personal voice message from you saying, "I just saw you completed Module 3! How's it going?"

That's not just a course. That's mentorship.

The truth: Most people never launch because they think they need everything perfect first. That's paralyzing.

Pre-selling removes that barrier. You make money NOW while building in manageable pieces.

Join me Wednesday at 8:30 AM Pacific for my free Clarity on Your Course workshop. I'll show you how to structure, pre-sell, and use drip delivery to make launching actually easy.
