3 Types Of Courses, Products and Programs That Are Profitable Right Now…and how to make some small tweaks to turn the offers you have into the offers your audience actually wants in this market. I’m breaking down what types of digital products, courses and program structures are working right now with real examples you can model.  Everyone wants to know what is actually selling *now* when it comes to courses. “Are courses still selling as well as they used to?” “Are people still investing in higher ticket programs?” “What types of digital products are the most profitable?” Yes, there are certain delivery formats and structures that people are looking to buy right now. I’ve got you covered! ➡️ Read the full blog post here In this episode: Private insights from the “x-ray vision” of being behind the scenes of my clients businesses  The breakdown of 3 categories of profitable products that are selling now Why you probably already have a profitable digital product hiding in your files or inside your bigger program and how to pull it out as a low ticket offer The power of having an “all access pass” style program or subscription that combines your body of work in one place Why confusion and overwhelm kills sales and what to do instead The little known high ticket offer type that brought in an extra $60k for us the last few weeks behind the scenes How to make simple tweaks to turn the products, content, and curriculum you already have into the types of offers your audience wants to buy right now The all new Monetize x Profit Architecture bundle is opening for enrollment very soon!

Don’t downplay the good stuff! I realized something this past week. I’ve been doing you a disservice. In my attempt to not fall into the “guru” pile of being another one of those annoying people online yapping about how great having an online course business is - I often completely downplay how freaking great having an online course business is compared to other options 😁 I never want to minimize the fact that building any type of business takes time and hard work - and that includes creating + selling online courses and digital products.  But I realize I sometimes go so far the other way - that I forget to share that, yes, although 10% of it is hard and challenging, the other 90% of it is WOW, AMAZING, “I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS MY LIFE” GOOD. Selling your own products to your own audience is honestly SO much more empowering than selling other people’s stuff (whether that be through affiliates, brand deals, ads, or some other options I discuss in the episode) It can be easy to take something you’ve been doing a long time for granted and look at other people/models and think they have it all figured out…or that the grass is greener… but I’ve learned a powerful lesson about how awesome selling your own offers to your own audience is.  ➡️ Read the full blog post here In this episode: My a-ha moment about why I tend to downplay all the good stuff about running a course business Some of the highlights from the last year I didn’t share because I didn’t want to brag or be annoying Reflecting on where you might be downplaying your success or forgetting how amazing your work is From thinking the grass might be greener monetizing with sponsors, ads, brand deals or affiliates to realizing that nothing really compares to creating, selling and owning your own products and your own audience Why the message I’ve been sharing since 2015 is even *more* relevant in 2024 with all the wild stuff going on on social media Developing the core skills that will serve you for life, no matter what you sell online or what niche you are in The all new Monetize x Profit Architecture bundle is opening for enrollment very soon!

Sprint With Us! Launch Before Black Friday and Let Mariah Promote You (Thank you to our sponsor and partner, Skool!) 🤩 Want to launch something before Black Friday/Cyber Monday (the biggest sales weekend of the year?) 😍 Want to get out of your own way and take imperfect action with us? 😄 Want Mariah to promote your new free group or paid offer link to our audience, meaning more visibility for your biz before the end of the year?   A couple weeks ago, I had an idea (love it when that happens) What if instead of motivating people to take action with run of the mill bonuses or “rah rah” cheerleading, we did something REALLY valuable for our Monetize members that would actually boost their business? What if we really inspired people to take imperfect action NOW, together, and be rewarded for that? The idea for our upcoming Skool Sprint was born (and ALL Monetize members are welcome to participate!) 💭 I thought, “what if we all worked together on launching either a free group, paid subscription or paid digital product before Black Friday - and then *I* can actually promote and share all those awesome groups and offers with *my* audience??” So that’s what we’re doing! So, do you want me to promote your free group or paid offer to my audience?   Here’s how it’s going to work: ✅ You join Monetize, where you will create + prepare to launch either a free group or paid offer (subscription or one-time purchase digital product) in about 3 weeks, using our step-by-step tools, templates, checklists, and trainings that make it as simple as humanly possible ✅ You will submit a link to your offer/group to be included in a blog post that will be promoted to our audience (there’s a deadline to submit your link by). We welcome both B2C and B2B products! ✅ I will promote that post to my email list, on social media, and in the Creator Party community (tens of thousands of people combined, to an audience with a huge variety of interests!) All of this is happening before Black Friday, so you’ll have something super high value to offer for the biggest business weekend of the year! The 3-week sprint *officially* kicks off October 23rd in the Monetize community. However, the sooner you join, the more time you will have to get your free or paid offer put together and prepped - so I recommend you start right now.   Get a head start and join us today to start your Sprint!   Important details: You need to be an active member of Monetize to be eligible for the Sprint Your offer does need to be hosted on Skool to be eligible to be promoted by us (free group, paid subscription, or one-time purchase product hosted on Skool) - a free Skool software account is included in your Monetize membership We will not promote any offer or groups that do not align with our company values or follow our Inclusive Language Guidelines, this is at our sole discretion. You need to submit your link before this Sprint deadline, late submissions cannot be accepted or published as we need time to prepare the posts on our end   Join our FREE community, Creator Party, today: request access here.
