What I Didn’t Want to Admit About My Course Sales

Let’s not sugarcoat it:

My first course launch tanked.

Zero sales.
Zero feedback.
Just silence.

I told myself it was the algorithm. Or my niche. Or “bad timing.”

But deep down, I knew the truth…

I spent too much time building content, and not enough time building demand.

It’s embarrassing to say now — but it’s the moment that made me pivot.

And it’s why I’m writing this post.

The Build-It-All Trap

I had spent 6 weeks:

Writing scripts
Recording videos
Editing for hours
Designing slides
Creating downloads

And when launch day came?

My list was cold.
My funnel was clunky.
And no one knew (or cared) what I had to offer.

The result?
Crickets.

The Unexpected Confession

After 48 hours and no sales, I did what every struggling marketer does…

I spiraled.

I binge-watched competitors.
I analyzed every headline.
I scrolled Facebook groups looking for answers.

That’s when I saw a thread about the Video Courses Collection.

One comment stood out:

“If you’re tired of starting from scratch, start here.”

So I clicked.

Why That Link Changed My Strategy Forever

I thought I’d see a few cheesy courses from 2007.

Instead, I found over 700+ professional video trainings, all with rebrandable rights.

This wasn’t just PLR fluff.

This was:

Voice-narrated video modules
Slides + scripts included
Niche categories like marketing, mindset, tech, and more
Clean, editable source files

I could literally download a full product, customize it, and launch that same week.

And I did.

The Pivot That Saved My Confidence

Instead of going dark, I:

✅ Picked 1 course that matched my niche
✅ Added my own intro and bonus content
✅ Gave it away as a high-value lead magnet
✅ Built a follow-up email sequence

Within 3 days, I had:

237 new subscribers
11 front-end sales
3 people who reached out asking for coaching

I couldn’t believe it.

All from the Video Courses Collection — content I didn’t even have to create from scratch.

What I Know Now (That I Wish I Knew Then)

✅ You don’t need to “prove” yourself by doing it all manually
✅ The speed of implementation matters more than perfection
✅ Launching momentum builds confidence—and cashflow
✅ Your time is better spent curating, connecting, and converting

What I Do Differently Now

🧠 Validate First: I ask my audience what they want before building
⚙️ Build with PLR: I use rebrandable video trainings to launch fast
📣 Promote Like Crazy: I spend 3x more time marketing than creating
🧱 Stack Products: I layer offers to increase value and average order size

All of this became possible once I stopped trying to “do it right” and started doing it strategically.

Final Thought: You Don’t Have to Struggle in Silence

If your last launch flopped… or never got off the ground…

That doesn’t mean you’re not good enough.

It might just mean you’re trying to do too much alone.

I know I was.

And once I started leveraging tools like the Video Courses Collection, everything shifted.

Faster launches.
More sales.
Less stress.
