What Launch Content Really Is
The content that sells your course isn’t the flashy stuff.
It’s not viral reels, big countdown clocks, or perfectly polished videos.
What actually works is clear, consistent content that does three things:
Reminds people what’s coming
Shows them why it matters
Points them to the next step
That’s it.
Go deeper: The 3 Types of Launch Content (and When to Use Each One) breaks down exactly which kinds of posts and messages you should use, and when, so you’re not guessing what to create.
The Mindset Shift
Think of launch content as a conversation, not a performance.
Instead of trying to impress everyone at once, focus on walking interested people through:
What you’re offering
Why it matters right now
How they can take the next step
That’s really all your audience needs.

Wrap-Up
You don’t need to be everywhere. You don’t need a massive campaign.
What you need is a clear message, shared in a few simple ways, in a few visible places.
Keep it warm. Keep it honest. Keep pointing people toward the next step.
