Your GRADUATION Story
I've had my membership community active since August 2022 but was stuck at 15 members and struggling with how to reach new writers. My churn was almost zero but so way my growth. I joined EPM and, in addition to learning how to build a high ticket item to add to my business suite, I kickstarted my marketing and through actions recommended by my coach, enrolled five new members in the community mid-way through the program.
Your FIRST SALE Story
I'd developed and delivered two multi-week, free challenges in the year before taking EPM but the effort and energy to deliver them did not result in as many new members to my community as I needed for it to make sense to deliver another challenge. Once I joined EPM, I learned that's it's smart to presell a program before creating it. I delivered a 60 minute mini-course and pitched my not-yet-created experience product. Three people paid to join, even though the program wasn't going to be available for two months.
Your PROVED MY IDEA Story
When I joined EPM, I thought that all I'd learn was how to create an engaging course that people actually finish. What I got was a deeper mindset shift about what my coaching business could become if I got out of my own way. During the 12 weeks of the program, Author Ever After moved from having had stable but stagnant income to enrolling five new members into my community, selling three people into my experience product, and landing two high paying coaching clients. What I'm delivering to every client or student is the same—they're gaining the skills to self-publish their first romance novel—but I'm meeting them where they are and supporting them in the way that works best for them. I not only reached my income target but now have systems in place to continue to grow my business.
