If you’ve been thinking of creating an online program and wondered, “Do I need a huge audience or email list?”, the answer is no.

Even though you’ll focus on growing your audience as you grow your business long-term, to have a successful first launch, you can use other strategies to get in front of the right audience.

That’s what my clients do to successfully launch their first program.

Today we have my wonderful guest and client, Marilou Morin, Registered Dietitian, soon to be Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor, and founder of Manger en Harmonie sharing her incredible story of getting started in her business and online program. She talks about how she launched her first program and surpassed her goal!

Here’s what we talked about:

  • Marilou’s first launch of her online program (she had to close the doors early!) 
  • How she launched with a small list (and what she did to spread the word about her program!)
  • The rollercoaster of emotions that Marilou had as she created and launched her program (and how she’s now adjusted her offering and is focusing on launching it again!)
  • Whether you should run your first program for free (the answer is - I’m 100% against it, since the commitment level will be lower and you won’t get the appropriate feedback!)
  • What she learned from her first program members (they were grateful to provide feedback and see it incorporated into the program!)

Even though self-doubt creeps in when doing something new, like creating an online program, I’m sure many of you will connect with and feel motivated by Marilou’s story. She continued to work through the steps, created her online program and launched it successfully - and you can too!
