Wonder what to write in your welcome series to create fans (and buyers) for life?
This is probably my #1 requested topic (other than copywriting or funnels) ... I'm talking about what to put in your welcome series - you know, those emails that magically get sent out when someone new subscribes to your list.

[Rebroadcast] What to do when your launch is a flop with Eden Fried

Happy Holidays. This week we're kicking off our best of Inbox Besties Series for the next 3 weeks, I'm re-airing some of the most popular and hidden gems Inbox Besties Episodes. 
This week was going to be our most popular interview of the year, but we literally just had it which #115: SEO: 3 Steps To Skyrocketing Your Ranking in Google with Mike Pearson  was I hand picked an interview that I thought was a great way to wrap up 2019 especially if 2019 didn't exactly go your way. Ep . 54 - What to do when your launch is a flop with Eden Fried originally aired back in Oct. 2018 but it's content is TIMELESS.
 
The only change? Eden's membership community is now called the Rebel Boss U instead of Bread & Butter Blogging U which honestly I think is a much better name.
 
----
Original shownotes:
This week I have the pleasure of interviewing the problogger, passive income super star, and leader of the Bread & Butter Blogging U Eden Fried of the Rebel Boss Ladies Podcast.
 
What makes this interview so special (besides the amazing value bombs Eden is dropping) is that today Eden is releasing an interview I did on her podcast The Rebel Boss Ladies Podcast all about how to get reader addicted to throwing money at you on repeat.  Click here to listen on iTunes or here for Android users.
 
After this episode, you’ll know…
 
How to tell if your launch was a big failure or not..spoiler alert it probably wasn’t
What do to if you tell your audience you have 10 seats to your group coaching program but only fill two spots #embarrassing
How Eden took a course that didn’t sell a single copy and turned it into a cash cow!
Exactly how many people you should have on your list before launching a product
And so much more

Official Bio:
 
Eden Fried ditched paint-suits and law libraries in early 2016 and traded them in for sweat pants and a laptop so she could build a business online. Ever since abandoning corporate America, Eden has successfully built a profitable online business by selling digital products. Today, she and her husband live off of passive income - the kind of income you earn while sleeping at night, out to dinner with friends, or wiping your baby’s butt cheeks. How does she do it? Well, she keeps no secrets. Eden shares her entire strategy on her website, EdenFried.com, where she teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to build that life of freedom and financial flexibility by creating and selling digital products online. Are you intrigued?? You can learn how Eden made her first $1,000 online by downloading her personal story: edenfried.com/case-study. When Eden’s not blogging or recording an episode of the Rebel Boss Ladies podcast, she’s either at the CrossFit gym throwing around moderately heavy weights for fun, spending time with her husband, or choking back tears from an episode of This Is Us.
