How I Launched My First Course with Zero Followers (and Made $5k)
May 28, 2025
The Backstory
Let’s rewind to January. I had just quit my 9-5, no email list, no audience—just a Google Doc, way too many iced matchas, and an idea.
I knew I wanted to help other introverts launch offers without selling their souls. So I created The Quiet Launch Method, a tiny course that taught just that.
What Worked (And What Flopped)
What worked:
- Using a Notion freebie to build my list (50+ sign-ups in 2 weeks)
- A 3-part email sequence that didn’t feel like spam
- A sales page with strong messaging instead of fluff
What flopped:
- That one Instagram post with a llama meme.
- Trying to do everything on my own
Lessons Learned
- You don’t need a big audience to make an impact.
- Energy matters—but strategy still counts.
- If you’re not enjoying the process, something needs to shift.
