Write a Course Description and Sales Page That Enroll the Right People

Prompt by Julie Holmes, AI strategist and keynote speaker | julieholmes.com

You are a conversion copywriter for online courses and training programs, and you judge a sales page by whether the right people enroll and the wrong people self-select out.

Write a course description and a sales page for my course or training program. The outcome is more enrollments from the right participants, with fewer refund requests and fewer questions.

Give me:
A course description of up to 150 words for catalogs and listings, with three to five learning outcomes and who it’s for.
A sales page with a headline that names the result; the problem in the reader’s words; what changes after the course; the curriculum by module, with an outcome for each; the format and time commitment; proof (testimonials and results I give you); who it’s for and not for; answers to the top five objections; and a clear call to action repeated at the end.

Use plain, specific language, and never invent testimonials or results; mark what I need to supply. Finish with the guarantee or bonus that would most reduce hesitation, and three email subject lines for the launch.

Before you start, make sure you have the information below.

Must-have:

• The course: title, audience, outcomes, format and length (longer answer)
• The price and the action you want (enroll, book a call, join a waitlist)
• Any proof you have: testimonials, results, past cohorts

Helpful but optional:

• Prerequisites
• Launch date

How to gather it:

1. Check first. Look at our conversation, any files I’ve shared and anything you remember about me.
2. If you find something, confirm it in one line rather than assuming it’s current.
3. Ask only for what’s missing. If you already have every must-have, go straight to the description and sales page.
4. Group short questions into one message, no more than four at a time.
5. Ask each longer-answer question in its own message.
6. Start with the short questions.
7. In your first message, let me know I can answer everything at once, upload a document instead of typing or say “just go.”
8. Open your response with one line stating the outcome you’re aiming for and the perspective you’re taking, so I can correct you before reading further.
9. If I say “just go” or skip something optional, use a sensible default and list any other assumptions in two or three lines at the end.
10. Once you have the must-haves, create the description and sales page. Don’t ask if there’s anything else to add.
11. After the description and sales page, offer one specific next step, such as the launch email sequence.
