Does launching sound scary to you? You might lack launching experience, are worried about signups or don’t know how to get a good conversion rate, but remember: Everyone starts from zero and the more you launch (and are willing to learn from mistakes), the better your launches will get. In this episode of The Sigrun Show, I welcome a guest that has enjoyed 10-18% conversion rates with her recent online courses.
When Hildur Jonsdottir joined SOMBA, she had no idea how to launch. As a health counsellor who works with people who have autoimmune diseases or chronic illnesses, she already had a lot of experience with one-on-one clients and was preparing to sell her services through online courses.
Two years later, she has launched nearly every 2-3 months with conversion rates ranging from 10-18%. In her latest launch, she was able to double the number of signups and made $35K.
In this episode of The Sigrun Show, she shares the launch method she discovered works for her business, how she manages her webinars, what she does in her Facebook group to keep her audience’s attention, and what she plans on doing to increase her conversion rates even more.
If you're in launch mode yourself or are looking for some inspiration around launching, this episode is a must-listen!

Activities to Keep Your Audience’s Attention Up During Your Launch
Sending out regular emails and reminders is essential to keeping the attention of your audience during your launch. However, being active in your Facebook group is another good way to make sure your message reaches people who are already interested in what you’re offering.
Here is a list with activities you can post in your Facebook group during your launch:
- Testimonials from previous clients (these can either be quotes or screenshots from comments you have received)
- Interviews with (former) clients speaking about their achievements and experiences they had working with you
- Snippets of individual success stories
- A Q&A where you answer all burning questions about your offer
- Encourage people to join your Facebook group and share their stories
- Allow members to share their own stories through a Facebook live directly into the group
