Why Your Online Program Isn’t Selling (And How to Fix It Fast)

So… you launched your online program.

You crafted the sales page. You sent the emails. You even hit publish while whispering “this better work” under your breath.

And then… crickets.

Maybe your friend signed up. Maybe your mum said she’s proud. But internally? It felt like failure.

If that’s you—pause right here. Because this episode is your loving intervention and your practical roadmap to get things back on track.

We’re breaking down the 5 real reasons your online program isn’t selling (no fluff, no shame) and giving you a rebuild plan that’s strategic, grounded, and therapist-friendly.

This is not about hustling harder.
This is about learning how to market with clarity, connection, and integrity.

What You’ll Learn In This Episode:

1️⃣ The top 5 mistakes therapists make when launching their first (or third) online program
 (Yes, even the most heart-centered, overqualified, spreadsheet-loving ones.)

2️⃣ Why having no audience is more dangerous than having the wrong niche
 (And how to start building trust before your next launch.)

3️⃣ How to create a program people actually want to buy
 (Hint: It’s not about your modules—it’s about their midnight Google searches.)

4️⃣ What a proper sales path looks like for high-trust buyers
 (So you can stop dropping links and start guiding decisions.)

5️⃣ The “launch detox” steps that don’t just fix your funnel—but your nervous system, too
 (Let’s be real: this is tender work. Your body deserves support!)

 → You’ve launched a program that didn’t sell and want to understand why
 → You’re about to build something and want to avoid painful missteps
 → You’re a therapist trying to be more visible without burning out
