Today we’re diving into something so many online business owners struggle with: launching.
Let’s talk about what launching really means, how to do it without the stress, overwhelm, and second guessing, and most importantly, how to find a launch strategy that actually works for you.
Let me take you back to 2012, one of my first experiences with launching in the online business world. I was project managing (and doing all the other roles, too—content, copy, tech, you name it) for an entrepreneur launching his membership program. He had an amazing offer, we were excited, and we thought if we built it, people would come.
Spoiler alert: they didn’t.
We built massive spreadsheets mapping out launch dates, bonuses, emails, social posts—the works. But despite our hard work, only two or three people joined. We were constantly changing strategies mid-launch, doubting ourselves, and scrambling to figure out what would work. It was exhausting.
Looking back now, the issue wasn’t the offer—it was that the launch strategy wasn’t right for his business stage, his audience, or his style. And that’s the part so many entrepreneurs miss.
If you're an online business owner, you probably know that a launch is a focused period of time where you're actively promoting and selling an offer—like a course, program, or service.
A launch builds awareness, buzz, and demand. It’s not just throwing your offer out and hoping people find it. Big brands don’t drop new products quietly. They build anticipation with teasers, previews, and special promos. Your business should do the same.
Whether your offer is a course, service, or membership, a launch strategy helps you:
Engage your audience
Build momentum
Maximize your sales
But here’s where it gets tricky: there are at least 13 different launch strategies, and many of them can be mixed and matched. That’s where the overwhelm comes in.
There are several key factors to consider when deciding how to launch:
The size of your audience
The price point of your offer
Your preferences (Do you like live video? Prefer writing? Want to avoid being on camera?)
How much time and energy you want to put into real-time interaction
I actually identified 15 key criteria that go into choosing the right launch method. And guess what? I put them into a free quiz you can take today.
