C 2005 Julie Jordan Scott Today, open to this image or metaphor for your non-fee based Teleclasses or Teleseminars. Consider this: when you have a "freebie" offering, what if you looked at it like a Dinner Party you host in your home? You are simply issuing an invitation to people for an engaging evening where you provide a satisfying "Meal" (Valuable "food for thought, action and expansive growth); drinks and refreshment (spark a-ha's) and collaborate to create some mutual delight. What if you held that as your primary intention? Moving beyond or outside "this is an introduction to something better you hafta pay for" which reminds me - what is one of the key things people are "buying" when they enroll in your Teleclass? Before you teach another freebie Teleclass or teleseminar, ask yourself this question: Do I have a solid intention beyond conversion of participants from this freebie session into my "fee" session? 1. Do you have a solid intention for your fr>e>e class outside of "signing people up" for your not-so-fr*e*e offering? Be sure to hold a "valuable to all" intention throughout the class - one that mixes "mutual delight" for both you and your participants into the recipe. You should receive something from the experience - whether or not any green energy is ever exchanged. 2. Does your fr>e>e class turn into a sales presentation, or does it add value to the lives of the participants and "issue an invitation" rather than come on as a "hard sale"? 3. Are you actually being blocked from making money on Teleclasses from following a FR>e>e teleclass model to F>e>e teleclass fee model? You may want to consider your "Freebie" classes as a "Tour" of "Your restaurant", and continue to offer "new menu items" and people will return again, and again, and again - and send their friends and bring their friends. You also may want to have some lower priced "menu items" as first time offerings rather than Fre*e*bies - if ever you have any indication that you are not feeling the "mutual delight" in holding a fr*e*ebie class, then by all means stop offering them - at least for a period of time and test some other methods of attraction to your fee programs. Focus on providing value, practical methods of action, expansive growth and a-ha's for all, and you will have success in all your programs.
