Noelle: [:

Like there's so many moving parts that it's. I'm thinking about really launching that in September because there's so much networking that I feel like is part of it, that I wanna just launch something right now. And so I wanted to launch a course I had been thinking about maybe for a month, and really just helping, you know, online mom entrepreneurs, just set themselves up for success and like create this community and kind of test out all the platforms that I'm creating for the Health Hui with this almost focus group of health and wellness business women.

So that I kind of wanna see if they're like good candidates to kind of bring in and partner with as well. So it's kinda like a test slash let's make money slash I wanna pour into and see like what I can provide

Melissa: . I love that. And by the way, like that's how the Academy started. It was a really small group, it was a short little program, it was a low price point, and then we evolved it as we went and learned the platforms.

Noelle: I need to basically [:

Melissa: are you, are you running a masterclass or you're just selling it?

Noelle: if I can pull it together, I was thinking of breaking up, kind of like, yeah, like if I'm gonna do four like courses, kind of, you know mm-hmm. For classes within the month, kind of doing like a four day, five day, I could do it next week.

A masterclass, right? Mm-hmm.

% conversion [:

So just know that if you invite, if a hundred people register, about seven to eight will purchase now with your next launch. If a hundred people register about one to three are gonna purchase your warm market, it's just like network marketing. You guys, when you're launching your first in network marketing, you tap outta your warm market first.

It's the same thing with launching your first launch. It's all your warm market and that the conversion rates are higher. And then the next time you launch, you're working harder for those sales, right? You've gotta build a bigger network. You've gotta continue networking. You've gotta get more warm bodies in front.

You've gotta constantly grow your pipeline for launching just like you do in in any, like anything. so the question is gonna be, I would be going to, again, I, this is the advice I've given to you guys already is are there power partnerships? Are there people you can get in front of that have networks that would be willing to share this information?

omen in, in direct sales who [:

Hey, this could really help your team grow this summer. if they joined this program, and I'll give you a affiliate kickback, X, Y, z. Like this first launch might not be about making a ton, ton of money, but more about, building the network, getting the results, you know, fine tuning the process. but I would be thinking about power, partnerships and kickbacks for people who enroll and really selling it to the power partnerships as helping their businesses grow through their teams being engaged.

And like I would be selling the shit out of it right now. Cause you've got a couple days, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday basically. So, yeah, on social, right? Yeah.

Noelle: So, okay. Is it to crunch to do like a masterclass? Cause I feel like I'll be selling my masterclass and I'm selling this.

reach out to people and have [:

Melissa: You're highly networked and you're credible cuz you've been really successful.

My first cohort at the academy, it was just a bunch of women in link. Like I didn't know how to do launches. You guys, I did, I did 20,000 in sales before I ever learned how to launch. It was just inviting people in the network. I didn't know what a masterclass was. I just tapped into my network and said, here's this thing I'm gonna be doing.

Here's when the. Class starts, would you be interested? Like it was, I mean, it was boots on the ground networking and finding warm bodies that were interested. So I think that you may be putting too much on yourself to promote and sell a masterclass next week that you haven't built yet, then run it and then sell into something else.

le miniature LinkedIn course.[:

In turnover Rocks, you know, where most of those women came from, for me was that mommy millionaire group that I was in with Kayla.

Right. So what are these groups you're in with other women, where you can kind of leverage your celebrity status without, you know, violating people's Facebook policies with their groups?

Noelle: just my last sub question is, I was gonna go all in on just the health hooi.com and then I'm like, I kind of just wanna launch this as myself, like my personal brand. So now I'm like, do I need my own website? Can I be under the health hui.com? I'd rather keep things simple. I also don't want it to be confusing for anyone else.

Melissa: If I had to do it all over again myself, I totally would've bought my name for my website. and I launched my network marketing business. when I really leveraged, when I went over to LinkedIn and I was recruiting for the business, I needed a page, a webpage that directed people to me and not my company.

e the business owner. And so [:

So if you type in burnout to All out.co it takes you there.

So if you go to my website, like if I had to do it all over again, it would be Melissa Alt and then there'd be different sub offers. Right? could have to help. We as like, within the website to click on. Just like for me you have the LinkedIn Method Academy, business Basics, the Mastermind, they're all different names.

t it gives you more latitude [:

You Lord knows where you'll be in three years and what you'll be investing in and what you'll be selling. and you probably would rather have like all the branding and the work that's been done, were for health. We, it's not a loss. You're still gonna use it on your website. It's just gonna be what they click on to learn more about health.
