Don’t Wait Until You’re Selling
The biggest launch mistake? Waiting until you’re ready to sell before you start talking.
Real anticipation doesn’t come from a big countdown clock. It starts quietly, through hints, helpfulness, and showing up before you ask for anything.
You don’t need hype. You need warmth, trust, and momentum.

Start Small and Subtle
Anticipation is built in layers. Share little things:
Behind-the-scenes progress
A problem you’re solving
A hint of what’s coming next
It’s not about making a scene, it’s about inviting people in early.

Use Your Existing Audience

Answer questions. Share quick wins. Drop value before you ask for anything back.

Share With Clarity, Not Manipulation
The point of anticipation isn’t to trick people into buying. It’s to prepare them.
