How I Used Low-Cost Paid Workshops to Launch and Convert at 25%

In this episode, I reveal a powerful and refreshingly different approach to launching: paid workshops that deliver massive value and real results. I shared how this strategy helped me to achieve a 25% conversion rate, outperforming many traditional launch methods. Rather than running standard webinars or free masterclasses, I focused on creating a high-impact, paid experience that dives deep into a specific piece of a larger offer. This not only attracts more committed attendees but also lays the groundwork for better engagement and sales. If you're a course creator, membership site owner, or coach, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you create a more authentic, profitable, and connection-driven launch strategy. KEY TAKEAWAYS COVERED IN THE PODCAST Paid Workshops Attract More Committed Leads Charging for your workshop (even a small amount) helps filter for serious, engaged participants—resulting in higher-quality leads and better conversion rates than free webinars or masterclasses. Depth Creates Trust and Sales By focusing your workshop on one specific, valuable topic, you can go deep and deliver real results. This builds trust and positions your offer as the natural next step, making selling feel seamless and aligned. A Launch is an Experience, Not Just an Event Theresa emphasizes that a successful launch should feel like a guided journey for your audience. Strong community support, intentional content, and a structured experience all work together to increase connection—and conversions.

Now, if you followed me for a while, if you know me, if you've seen my content, you know that on average a conversion from your launch list. So let's just go back.

So let me kind of take you back and talk about what we are doing in terms of this launch method. When I talk about launching, we talk about launch experiences, and it's really important as a online business owner, so someone who has a course, a membership, or a group program that you create some kind of experience around the launch that you're doing. So ordinarily these are webinars or masterclasses, same thing, just [00:03:00] different names. These are things like boot camps and challenges.
