January 10, 2022

In episode #1971, we talk about whether selling courses for $997 to $2,000 is still a viable business model. For a time, many course marketers were doing extremely well using this model.

For example, Neil took the traffic he generated through selling courses, used it to start his agency, and ended up making far more money. Tune in to hear more!
