Launching a product or service is both exciting and nerve-wracking. While some launches generate $5K or less, others soar to six-figure successes. So, what makes six-figure launches different?
After being part of many launches - from massive successes to those that didn’t meet expectations - I’ve noticed key factors that set the smaller launches apart from the six-figure ones.
Let’s dive into these differences and uncover how you can start paving the way toward your big breakthrough.

Consistency in building an online presence
One critical element of a successful launch is having a strong online presence.
This doesn’t mean you need to dominate every platform. Whether you’re on Instagram, TikTok, email lists, Facebook groups, or another space, the key is that your audience knows who you are and engages with you regularly.
Even if you’re an expert in your field, visibility matters. Without it, reaching six-figure launch success is unlikely. People need to trust and recognize you before they buy.
The good news? You don’t need to be a celebrity or have thousands of followers. It’s about building meaningful connections with the audience you already have.
The common visibility mistake
A mistake many entrepreneurs make is only showing up consistently during the month or two before their launch. They pour energy into posting, going live, and sharing content, yet the results often fall short. Why? Because their audience isn’t primed to buy.
In six-figure launches, the people behind them have been visible consistently.
They’ve built trust over time, so when it’s time to launch, their audience is ready and excited to buy. Consistency creates momentum - and that momentum translates into sales.

The “Like, Know, Trust” factor
The foundation of any successful launch lies in the “Like, Know, Trust” factor.
People buy from you when they:
Like you.
Know what you stand for.
Trust you.
This trust isn’t built overnight. It’s developed through consistent, authentic engagement. But it doesn’t have to be perfect or polished. Showing up, even when things aren’t flawless, is more valuable than waiting for everything to be just right.
I’ve seen firsthand how consistency impacts launches.
When I made it a habit to engage authentically on Instagram and connect with my audience, my sales doubled - even with a small following.
It wasn’t about having massive numbers; it was about creating genuine trust and connection.
Using smaller launches as stepping stones
If you’re just starting out or your first launch isn’t a massive success, don’t be discouraged. Treat it as a learning experience.
Refine your strategy, analyze what worked, and keep showing up for your audience.
The lessons you learn from smaller launches will build the foundation for bigger successes.
Remember, you don’t need to launch constantly. Success comes from consistently engaging with your audience, understanding what resonates, and staying visible between launches.
Consider your own behavior. Are you more likely to buy from someone who consistently shares valuable insights and engages with you, or from someone who appears out of nowhere with a product to sell? The answer is clear. Trust and connection drive sales.
