Caitlin Bacher | From Side Hustle to Million-Dollar Course Expert
Episode Summary:
In this episode of Women Choosing Growth, host Tina Moser sits down with Caitlin Bacher, CEO of Scale With Success. Caitlin shares her journey from social media manager to a seven-figure course creator and reveals why launching is an outdated model. She explains how an evergreen system can create consistent revenue, reduce stress, and allow course creators to grow their business without relying on exhausting launch cycles. Whether you're a service-based entrepreneur, a coach, or simply someone with knowledge to share, this episode is packed with actionable advice to help you turn your expertise into a scalable, profitable course.
Key Topics Covered:
- Caitlin’s transition from social media consultant to course creator
- The power of evergreen courses vs. high-pressure launches
- How to identify the right course topic (even if you think you don’t have one!)
- Why perfectionism holds people back from launching their course
- Pricing strategies for courses and when to introduce higher-ticket offers
- How to sell courses without a big audience or sales calls
- Why testimonials and early feedback are crucial for success
Actionable Takeaways:
✅ Start Before You’re Ready: You don’t need a fully built-out course to start selling. Create and refine as you go.
✅ Speak to the Symptoms, Not the Root Problem: Your audience may not realize the deeper issue—market to what they think their problem is.
✅ Evergreen Over Launching: Instead of exhausting launch cycles, focus on steady, consistent course sales.
✅ Don’t Underprice Your Expertise: A well-priced signature course ($500-$2,000) is more effective than a low-ticket offer when starting out.
✅ Feedback is Gold: Talk to potential buyers to refine your offer and marketing messaging.
