Let’s be honest: just joining a program doesn’t guarantee a win. This article is about what to do when things aren’t going to plan — and how to stay in control of your outcome.
🧩 Common reasons people struggle
From the user conversations we reviewed, the main causes are:
Not posting or engaging consistently
Weak or unclear niche/offer (audience doesn’t care)
Funnel or checkout not fully configured or tested
Traffic mismatch (wrong channel, weak engagement)
Giving up too early (expectation vs reality mismatch)
🔧 What you can do to pivot
Assess your niche and offer
Does your topic solve a clear, urgent problem?
Are you speaking to a defined audience, not “everyone”?
Check your funnel & payment setup
Can visitors buy easily?
Did you test checkout yourself?
Is your landing page strong and aligned?
Increase content + traffic
Post at least 4–5 pieces content per week for 3 weeks.
Engage DM’s, comments, replies.
Try a new platform or format (e.g., reels if you are doing feed posts only).
Use the community & support
Share your metrics and get feedback.
Other users likely had the same issue.
Use the resources and scripts inside DropCourse.
Iterate and keep moving
Not working → change one thing (headline, price, platform) and test again.
Keep metrics: e.g., views → opt-ins → buyers. What’s your drop-off point?
🕒 What to think after 90 days
If after ~90 days you have no students and are posting less than 2 times/week, you may need to rethink your approach. Some considerations:
Switch to a different product or niche
Increase your time commitment
Focus on building an audience first before selling
🎯 Final takeaway
Even if you don’t get immediate results, you’re not “wasted time” — you’re learning.
Use the tools, ask for help, iterate fast.
The difference between those who succeed and those who don’t is continual action + refinement.
Your results are within your control more than you might think.
