Ep. 1 - Shoshana Schwartz: The behind-the-scenes-scoop on how I launch my course
If you’ve ever thought, “I HATE selling…but I know my course genuinely helps people,” this conversation is your roadmap. Shoshana Schwartz, Mishpacha writer, author, therapist, shares how she hit the ceiling on private work and then built a scalable course and membership almost entirely through email. (Go check out her flagship food-relationship reset: https://thesatisfiedself.com/)
We unpack the market-research tweak that shifted her copy in one line, the sales sequence she can actually send without cringing, and why her first “record it once and it’s done forever” dream got derailed by real student questions.
We also go super-tactical: pitfalls with free mini-courses, platforms that actually engage (gamified progress, satisfying “dings,” and true community), how she tracks attribution without turning creepy, and the legal line her lawyer made her add.
And the part most creators don’t think about: student safety in transformational programs, including why she keeps a coach present on every live call.
I love how Shoshana just kept shifting, tweaking, staying right in step with her audience, and just quietly growing and growing. And the confidence! She’s not afraid to put her face front and center, in every email, like: here I am, here’s what I believe, come along if this is for you.
