The problem

Most creators sell a lot in launch week, then almost nothing until the next one.

You have an audience. You built a course, a template pack or a paid community. When you launch, people buy. Then the cart closes, sales stop, and the months until the next launch are quiet.

That gap is where most course businesses get stuck. The product is good. People who buy it like it. But every sale depends on you being loud for two weeks, and the setup behind the launch is rebuilt by hand each time.

It often looks like this:

  • The sales page was written for the first launch and never touched again.
  • The checkout has no order bump, no upsell and no follow-up when someone leaves.
  • Launch emails are written the night before they go out.
  • Followers see a post about the course once, then the algorithm moves on.
  • There is no way to buy between launches, or a page that nobody visits.
  • After launch week, nobody can say which email, post or ad made the sales.

A course launch is not just a busy week. It is a set of pages, emails and ads that can run again and again, with a way to keep selling in between. That is what we build and run for you, for one flat monthly fee, while you make the content and teach.

If you sell coaching or a high-ticket program on a call, see our page on coaching business marketing instead. This page is for people who sell from a page: courses, digital products, memberships and paid communities.

What you get

Everything a course launch needs, in one plan.

Example requests

What a course seller could ask us for.

Requested
Write a sales page for our new course.
Build a waitlist page and a thank-you page with a share link.
Build the sign-up page and reminder emails for our free class.
In progress
Set up the checkout with an order bump and one upsell.
Write the cart open and cart close emails.
In review
Set up Meta ads to the free class.
Write a welcome sequence for new buyers, so they start the course.
Done
Turn the launch into an evergreen funnel with the class replay.
Rewrite the about page for our paid Skool community.
Show us which emails and ads made sales in the last launch.

One request at a time, about 48 hours each. A launch arrives in pieces, page by page and email by email, so start well before cart open and we build it in the order you need it.

Guide

Course launch marketing guide.

The launch

What does a course launch take?

A course launch takes four things: a list of people who already trust you, a reason for them to pay attention now, a sales page with a checkout that works, and emails that open and close the cart. The course itself is often the smallest part of the work in launch week.

Most launches follow the same order, whatever the topic:

Waitlist

Before the launch, people join a list to hear first. This tells you who is interested, and gives you people to email on day one.

Warm-up

A free class, a short challenge or a few useful emails. It shows people what you teach and gets them ready to buy.

Cart open

The sales page goes live and the checkout opens. Emails, posts and ads all point to one page.

Cart close

A real deadline, with reminder emails on the last day. The cart closes when you said it would.

After

Buyers get a welcome and start the course. People who did not buy keep getting your regular emails until next time.

Every part has to work at the same moment. For Dirk DeBruin's $100K launch at Intelligent Crypto, we built the landing page, improved the checkout and built the Instagram DM system, end to end. Dennis Echelbarger of Holistic Humans says we helped them launch fast and hit $10K in the first month. If you want to see the build itself, we wrote up how to launch an online course with GoHighLevel and Skool.

Live or evergreen

Course launch strategy: live launch or evergreen?

Run a live launch when the course is new, or when your list needs a reason to buy now. Move to evergreen once the course has sold and you have steady traffic from ads or content.

A live launch opens and closes on set dates. An evergreen funnel sells every day: a person signs up for a free class or a guide, gets a short run of emails, and can buy whenever they are ready.

Live launchEvergreen
When people buyIn one short windowAny day of the year
Best forA new course, or a list that needs a pushA course that has sold before
What it needsA list, a deadline and a lot of your time that weekSteady traffic and a page that sells on its own
The riskLong quiet months between launchesSlow sales if nobody sees the free offer

Many creators do both. They launch once or twice a year with a live event, and run an evergreen funnel in between. The launch teaches you what makes people buy. The evergreen funnel uses those same words every day. Here is how to create an evergreen marketing funnel.

One rule for both: keep deadlines real. If the cart closes on Friday, it closes on Friday. A countdown timer that resets for every visitor is a fake deadline, and buyers notice.

Launch emails

Course launch emails: what to send and when

A course launch email sequence has five parts: warm-up emails before the cart opens, a cart open email, emails in the middle that answer doubts, last-day emails, and a welcome for buyers. Put the most care into the open and the close, because that is when people decide.

Before the cart opens

Teach something useful and invite people to the free class or challenge. Say plainly that a paid course is coming, and when. Nobody should feel tricked on cart open day.

Cart open

What the course is, who it is for, what is inside, the price, the deadline and the link. Short and clear beats clever.

The middle of the cart

Answer the real questions people send you. "Do I have time for this?" "Is it right for a beginner?" "What if it does not work for me?" Use student stories here, in their own words, with their okay.

Cart close

A reminder the day before, and one or two on the last day. Tell people exactly when the cart closes, then close it.

After the launch

A welcome sequence helps buyers start the course and finish the first lesson. People who did not buy go back to your regular email. Do not drop them.

Email matters more for creators than for most businesses. Followers see what the platform chooses to show them. People on your list get the email. Our email marketing covers launch emails, welcome sequences and the regular email that keeps your list warm.

Checklist

The course launch checklist

Use this course launch checklist to plan the work in the right order. Each step needs the one before it, and it is the order we build in for a new client.

  1. Pick the launch dates: warm-up, cart open and cart close.
  2. Build the waitlist page and start sending people to it.
  3. Build the free class or challenge sign-up page, with reminder emails and texts.
  4. Write the sales page: who it is for, what is inside, the price and the deadline.
  5. Set up the checkout, with an order bump or upsell if it fits.
  6. Make a test purchase from start to finish, including the receipt and course access.
  7. Write every launch email before the warm-up starts.
  8. Set up tags, so you know which class, email or ad each buyer came from.
  9. Start the ads to the free class, and check them every day of the launch.
  10. After the cart closes, send the welcome sequence and look at what sold.

Steps 1, 2 and 9 most creators can start on their own. Steps 4 to 8 are where launches slip, because they take writing, building and testing in the same few weeks you are also making content.

Between launches

How to market an online course between launches

To market an online course between launches, use one free offer that grows your list, a sales page that sells on any day, and ads or content that point to the free offer. The goal is a bigger, warmer list when the next cart opens.

One free offer

A free class, a short email course, a quiz or a checklist. Pick one and make it the next step under every post and ad. One clear offer gets more sign-ups than five scattered ones.

A sales page that works without a launch

Your sales page should sell when you are not posting. Max Perzon of Kourse.com added $15K in new monthly recurring revenue in one day, and $40K in 27 days, after we redesigned the sales page and the messaging. Kai Dez's course sales had flatlined, and Kai says enrolments spiked almost straight away after we rebuilt the funnel.

Ads to the free offer

People who have never heard of you rarely buy a course from one ad. Send them to the free class first, then let the emails do the selling. Course ads have one extra rule to watch: Meta's rules on prohibited commercial practices ban misleading ads, including promises of guaranteed returns. So we write ads about what the course teaches, not about what students will earn, and you sign off before anything goes live. More on how we run them on our ads page.

Content with one next step

You make the content. We build what catches the people it brings in. Jack Denmo, a content creator, made the changes we flagged on a landing page and says it improved sales and conversions. Andrew Elkhouly, a health and fitness creator, says we improved conversions and sales almost straight away, with a turnaround of only a few days.

Who to hire

Who should run your course launch?

Get help with a course launch when people already buy from you, and building and running the launch is what holds you back. If you have not made a single sale yet, test the offer by hand first.

You have four real options:

Do it yourself

Cheap in money, heavy on time. Fine for a first launch to a small list.

A launch manager

Plans and runs the launch for you. Pay is often a flat fee, a share of sales, or both, so ask early. Many still need a copywriter, a page builder and an ads person.

Freelancers

Good for single jobs, like one sales page. You still join the pieces up and manage the dates.

FAQ

Questions. Answered.

How much does course launch marketing cost with Havstock?

$4,995 USD a month, flat. That covers sales pages, checkout, launch emails, ads, your CRM and AI chat. There is no setup fee. Ad spend is paid to Meta, Google or LinkedIn directly. Usage fees for texts, emails and AI chat are also on you. They are small, and they go on a card you keep on file. See full pricing.

Is there a contract?

No. It is month to month, and you can cancel anytime in the billing portal. Try it for a week, and if you are not happy, get 75% back.

Do I own the pages, the email list and the ad accounts?

Yes. Your site, your pages, your list, your ads and your data are yours. If you leave, they stay with you.

Does the fee change with my launch sales?

No. Havstock Unlimited is one flat monthly fee. It is the same in a launch month and a quiet month.

How early should we start before a launch?

A few weeks before the warm-up, if you can. Each page, email set and ad is its own request, done one at a time in about 48 hours. Starting early means every piece is built and tested before cart open.

Where does the course itself live?

We can build your course area inside GoHighLevel, which comes with your CRM. If your course already lives on another platform, we build the pages, checkout links and emails around it.

I sell coaching on calls, not a course. Is this the right page?

Probably not. If people book a call before they buy, our page on marketing for coaches fits you better. It covers call funnels, application forms and webinars.

Can you promise how much our launch will make?

No. Nobody honest can. We will build every piece of the launch, and show you which page, email and ad made each sale.

What don't you do?

Filming, photo shoots, video editing, print and organic social posting. So we will not make your course videos or post your content. Custom software is quoted separately.

You run the business.
We’ll grow it.

Fifteen minutes. Your quickest wins. No pressure.
