It is just that: the first launch. It will either be launched again and again and again or you'll make it an evergreen product, always having it for sale inside your email funnel. The point is that long-term, you want to make money off this product. And with that mindset, comes the realization that you don't have to make a ton of money...2022-07-1935 min
