SHORT THREAD ↓↓↓
#1 BUILDING IN PUBLIC GENERATES MASSIVE ATTENTION

→He built his 1st course at home behind closed doors
→Launched it & made $11,780 ($380/day) after 1 month (not bad!)
→Built 2nd course in completely IN PUBLIC & made $40,594 ($1,269/day)—even better!
#2 ACCESSIBILITY BREEDS WORD-OF-MOUTH

Justin's strategy is to build high-value/low-ticket courses.
→"Masterclass" courses for $1,000+ require a LOT of trust+nurturing
→Lower priced courses w/ no hidden upsells are much more accessible
→More people buy = massive W.O.M. machine
#3 URGENCY+DISCOUNTS+PROOF DRIVE PROMO SUCCESS

2 promotions that worked best for Justin:
→30% off—1 day only—on ALL products = $5,817 in organic revenue (URGENCY+DISCOUNT)
→20% off weekend deal w/ screenshot proof of sales = $3,236 in organic revenue (URGENCY+DISCOUNT+PROOF)
#4 80/20 GIVE/ASK IS KEY 🔑

Justin's Golden Rule of promotion:

"Make sure you're giving value at LEAST 80% of the time—and promoting at MOST 20% of the time."

→He posts ~22 posts/month on LinkedIn
→Only 2-3 of those posts are promotional posts
→The rest = VALUE
#5 BREVITY IS YOUR FRIEND

Keep it short:
→Course #1 = 60% completion rate (only ~75 mins)
→Course #2 = 40% completion rate (~3.5 hrs)

Teach people what they want to learn in 90 minutes or less, and increase your completion & adoption rate.
