Hello and welcome to this week's episode of the You Can Podcast. Today we're going to be talking around why your course is not selling, okay? So you've put together some sort of course, so it's some sort of journey program that a customer will go through to take them from one point to another. And this may take all sorts of different formats.

It may be that they go off and they listen to resources and information on their own. It might be that they do that, but they also spend some time with you. It might be that you are working through with them and helping them to come up with an outcome, but based purely on bespoke and one-to-one working.

The point is, is that a course is a set program, a set approach that you are using that somebody on boards onto and goes through that process to get that outcome. That is the point of a course. It's a systematized process. But there are so many people out there with courses that are collecting digital dust. They're not doing what they hoped they would.

They're not getting them out there as they hoped they would, either because they're not being marketed or a number of reasons we're going to go into on this podcast. So where do I start? Well, I have sold thousands of copies of my course, literally thousands of copies of my course across the globe. Okay. I know what it takes to make a course successful.

okay and that does not happen without having my own um highs and lows let's say you know i've had a few total flops from time to time i've put things out and they just haven't gone i put things out and they've flown you can learn a lot from both but actually what gives you the time to learn are those which don't go so well because you have that time because you are not then implementing you're not then onboarding people you have the opportunity to reflect during the time where you hoped you would be doing those things

118.374 - 125.559 Sarah Jolly Jarvis

So here are nine reasons why your course isn't selling. First up, the market doesn't want what you are offering.

125.599 - 145.611 Sarah Jolly Jarvis

Now, this is always obviously a bit of a bitter pill to swallow, but as simple as it sounds, if your target audience doesn't want or they're not prioritising what it is that your course is offering, the outcome that your course is offering, for example, you know, it's very easy, you know, straight to mind comes weight loss. OK, if your audience doesn't want weight loss, which

146.551 - 165.736 Sarah Jolly Jarvis

it would be surprising, but you never know, then they are not going to want to buy it and therefore they are sat there, your resources are sat there, your course is sat there doing nothing. Next up, your course gives them what they need, but not what they want. And this is always a bit of an aha moment for some people.

166.936 - 190.787 Sarah Jolly Jarvis

It's similar to the fact the market doesn't want it, but with a slight twist that You're selling people what they need. But that's not always what they want. That's not always they are willing to pay for. OK, going back to the weight loss idea, you lose 36 pounds in six weeks by tracking your food and eating like a rabbit and not having any coffee or alcohol.
