Thinking of taking an editing class in college. Before I do, can anyone suggest a private course that might be better or more relevant?

Well hello. Does anybody know of a platform where you can sell a digital product where when someone buys, the download starts automatically? I know I could just set up an email automation to send them the product after they buy, but I don't want to be dependent on email deliverability. My goal is just for the download to start immediately when they purchase.

I've talked about my process a bit in the past but I'll give you a quick recap as to how my process works. I would describe it as fairly straight forward. 1. I post short form content 2. All videos have 1 CTA: Sign up to the 52 Week Guitar Player waiting list (my product) 3. I open the program at the end of every quarter for ~ 2 weeks and only accept 100 new students 4. Repeat next quarter Basically my entire quarter is spent promoting the next opening of the program. Also important to note: the people that sign up to the waiting list enter a nurture sequence where they are emailed testimonials I started using this selling model at the start of 2023. Previously I was using a sales call funnel and constantly had the problems of not having enough calls booked and hiring sales reps. I sell my product for $2400 and I found it very difficult finding a sales rep who wanted to sell a product at that price point (10-15% commission of $2400 is not much). Because Q3 is not done yet, I still have a week to make sales, although the majority of the sales have already been made at this point, 84 units sold. In Q1 when I tried this I only sold 23 units. This way of selling is very similar to a launch model. The downside is I have to create content every week consistently, but we are content creators haha. I'm trying to find a way to generate waiting list sign ups where I'm not so needed. I'm currently working on a lead magnet to solve this problem. And even though the $200k revenue was made in 11 days, there was still an entire quarter of promoting the product that came beforehand. I think that's worth noting. Anyway, just wanted to share my process and I hope others can find it useful! Cheers.

This is Teachable's version of the 2 Comma Club Award (by Clickfunnels). Nice.

The short answer is a "launch model" The long answer is - it's not really a launch model, but very similar. I open up my program 52 Week Guitar Player every quarter for 2ish weeks. Between each opening, I create a waiting list by posting short form content across all the main social media platforms. I put out 6-8 pieces of content per day. The only call to action is to sign up to the waiting list. Then toward the end of each quarter I open up to the program to everyone on the waiting list for 3 days (where my $100k came from). Then after the 3 days I open it to the rest of my following. I will close access on June 30 for another 2.5 months. I've sold 45 units so far at a $2400 price point. The last cohort I did was far less successful. I only sold 23 units in the entire 2 week period. I learned a lot from the first cohort though and was able to change my process a bit. It's been working. Takeaways: 1. Spending time hiring a really great editor to help me with my content and paying extra for him was a solid move 2. @Andrew Kirby told me long ago to stop using ads. I was skeptical, but I'm happy I did. (With the exception of an $8/day Google search ad). Don't sleep on Andrew, he's incredibly intelligent. 3. Hire a social media manager - it takes time to post on all these fucking platforms. They're also minefields for distraction. Lastly, while this money was all generated over 3 days, 2.5 months of posting content daily went into this. I feel good. (Below is a screenshot of my first day open)
