You've got an amazing product idea — but are you keeping it a secret until launch day? In this episode, Liz Wilcox — the Fresh Princess of Email Marketing — reveals the biggest mistake creators make when developing new products: not sharing the creative process with their audience. Liz walks through why sharing the behind-the-scenes journey builds excitement, trust, and sales — and how you can start doing it right now. Episode Highlights The most common mistake: working "quietly behind the scenes" instead of involving your audience. Why sharing your creative process leads to stronger connections and more sales. The Disney approach: how showing behind-the-scenes content builds anticipation (just like Princess and the Frog). Real-life example: Liz's first digital course, Fix It Yourself: RV Maintenance for Beginners. How she used her email list to co-create the course step-by-step: Asking if subscribers were interested. Getting feedback on the module list. Asking for camera recommendations. Involving her audience in launch timing. The result: 141 people said "yes" — and 141 people bought. How to build your own pre-launch sequence using these same principles. Key Takeaways Don't create in silence: Bring your audience into your creative process early and often. Ask for feedback: Use email to crowdsource ideas and make your product even better. Show your work: Sharing updates builds excitement, accountability, and community. Engagement leads to sales: Involvement turns interest into investment. Think like Disney: Behind-the-scenes storytelling creates anticipation and connection.
