Today’s strategy session is with one of my students, Rachel Lindtiegan, who use to be employed with an ad agency in New York City. Rachel left the corporate world to start her own coaching, consulting and online training business, and in this episode, she’ll be sharing her experiences launching her first online course.

Rachel says that her recent launch “fell flat” and that she didn’t get any sales from it, so we break down the possible reasons for this, from her Facebook ad performance all the way through her webinar funnel.

As you’ll hear, in Rachel’s case there’s nothing jumping out to me that she necessarily did wrong, but it’s a matter of just getting more people in the funnel and then her focusing on improving a few specific things. By doing this, I feel she’ll see massive improvements in the results she achieves in 2019.

Before we start the show, I’ve got something to ask. How do you listen to this podcast? Is it in the iTunes app, Stitcher, Spotify or maybe iHeart Radio? Do you listen to it at regular speed, or maybe like me you listen to your podcasts at 1.5X speed? I want to know! Take a screenshot of you tuning in to The Art of Paid Traffic, and include it on your Instagram Story, while tagging me, @RickMulready!
