$214K Launch Revenue With an End-to-End Course Sales Funnel
LaunchPad Academy had an incredible course but no funnel to sell it. We built a complete sales system — from lead magnet to upsell — that generated $214K in launch revenue and enrolled 1,847 students.

Client Overview
About LaunchPad Academy
LaunchPad Academy teaches aspiring entrepreneurs how to validate, build, and launch online businesses. The founder had built a loyal social media following but had never run a structured digital product launch.
What They Sell
$297 flagship course + $97/month community membership
Who They Serve
Aspiring entrepreneurs and side-hustlers ready to build their first online business
Funnel Needed
A complete launch funnel from lead magnet to sales page to upsell sequence
The Challenge
What Wasn't Working
No existing sales funnel — the course was sold through DMs and one-off social media posts
Email list was small (2,400 subscribers) with low engagement rates
No lead magnet or free content strategy to warm up cold traffic
Sales page was a basic Notion doc with a Stripe link — no conversion optimization
No upsell, downsell, or order bump strategy to maximize revenue per student
Our Approach
The Funnel Strategy
Created a high-value free workshop as a lead magnet to grow the email list before launch
Built a 5-day email launch sequence with storytelling, social proof, and urgency triggers
Designed a long-form sales page optimized for scrolling with multiple CTA insertion points
Added an order bump (templates pack) and a post-purchase upsell (community membership)
Implemented a cart abandonment sequence to recover lost sales within 24 hours

CRO Decisions That Moved the Needle
Free Workshop Lead Magnet
3-part video workshop grew the email list from 2,400 to 8,100 subscribers before launch day.
Multi-CTA Sales Page
Placed buy buttons at 5 strategic points on the long-form page. Increased conversion by catching ready buyers early.
Order Bump Strategy
Added a $47 templates pack as an order bump — 52% of buyers added it, boosting average order value.
Cart Abandonment Recovery
3-email sequence recovered 19% of abandoned carts within 24 hours of checkout initiation.

Outcomes
Final Results
"I went from selling my course through Instagram DMs to a $214K launch in 10 days. SkyByte didn't just design pages — they built an entire revenue system. The upsell and order bump strategy alone was worth the investment 10x over."
