What if you could boost your course sales every month—without ads, new launches, or more work? In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on Relaunch Magic, the system I use to re-engage non-buyers and turn them into customers automatically.

If you’ve got an evergreen funnel and leads who didn’t convert, this strategy can help you bring them back in a way that feels natural—not pushy. I’m sharing how it works, why it’s better than live launching, and how you can set it up to run on autopilot.
