Fill the cohort, then keep it

GatherCycle runs the enrollment push and the first-weeks sequence that decides whether your students ever start.

Plan my next cohort

Describe your next cohort and see the campaign it drafts.

Sound familiar?

Does this sound like your last launch?

A scramble every launch

You rebuild the enrollment push from nothing and send the emails late.

They enroll, then evaporate

People who paid you never really start. You see it in week two.

So you rewrite lesson seven

But nobody who quit ever reached lesson seven.

What changes

Completion is a campaign problem

The students you lose never got as far as your teaching. That part is fixable.

The enrollment push, drafted

The cohort landing page and promotional emails, written for your subject.

Week one as a sequence

Enrollment confirmation, pre-course welcome, countdown and a mid-cohort check-in.

Where they left

Completion against your target, cohort by cohort.

52%

of people who register for an online course never enter the courseware at all.

"You do not save a cohort by rewriting lesson seven. You save it by getting them through week two."

If this is you, start here

Fill the next cohort. Then keep it.

Plan the next launch today, on your own, with the first two weeks written before anyone enrolls.

Plan the whole cycle, not just the curriculum.

Send ideas and feature requests through the contact form, and once you sign up there is an issue and feature request form inside GatherCycle. There is no newsletter yet, so the blog is the place to follow along. One of a handful of small tools I am building for organizations that bring people together.
