Persona Before the High Ticket: Online Courses That Make Money
Write the buyer persona and the free thing they already got before you sell a high-ticket seat. A pyramid without that persona is a price list.
The pyramid starts at the persona and the free piece. The expensive seat is a later step, after someone has received the free piece.

Order
- Persona: the role and the job they are trying to finish.
- Free piece: the file or the note they can get without paying.
- Next paid step: one sentence. High-ticket waits until that step has been delivered at least once.
Lists
An exportable list is required before you call this private domain. See the three paths.
FAQ
How many tiers are required?
Two are enough: free, then one paid step. More tiers without a delivery are a drawing.
Can the free piece be a webinar I have not dated?
No. Date it or make it a file.
Does this replace a marketplace?
It ignores the marketplace until the persona and the free piece exist.
