  3. Build rapport before launch
  4. When you open, they're pre-sold

The Podcast Guest Strategy

If you do podcast tours:

  1. Create links for each podcast
  2. Track which shows send the best leads
  3. Custom DM: "Thanks for finding me on [Podcast Name]! Here's an exclusive bonus..."

The Challenge Launch Strategy

For group challenges:

  1. Challenge sign-up link
  2. Auto-enroll in DM sequence
  3. Daily engagement via DMs
  4. Pitch your offer on day 5

Common Mistakes Coaches Make

Mistake 1: Too Many Links

Keep it under 6-7 links. More options = fewer decisions.

Mistake 2: Weak CTAs

"Click here" tells them nothing. "Book your breakthrough call" tells them what they'll get.

Mistake 3: No Follow-Up

A click without follow-up is a wasted opportunity. Use automation.

Mistake 4: Generic Design

Your page should look like YOU, not a template.

Mistake 5: Ignoring Analytics

Track what's working. Double down on winners.

Measuring Success

Track these metrics monthly:
