431: How to Sell Your Online Course with Webinars and Email Marketing

What actually makes someone decide to buy your online course?

It's not just the information you're teaching or how polished your webinar looks. More often, it's the trust you've built with the people you're trying to help.

In this episode of Selling the Couch, Mel takes you behind the scenes of a live coaching session inside Haven, our small, intentional community for therapists building sustainable online income beyond the therapy room.

This time, we're talking about how to market and sell an online course using webinars, email marketing, and storytelling, without relying on high-pressure sales tactics or complicated launch strategies.

You'll hear Mel work through real questions from therapists who are building their own courses, including how to write more compelling launch emails, whether to start with a live or prerecorded webinar, and why YouTube Live might be worth considering for your next launch.

In this episode:

- Why people don't just buy online courses, they buy trust

- How webinars and email marketing work together during a course launch

- The email strategy Mel recommends

- How to use storytelling to make your course marketing more memorable
