$1 products are NOT the end goal


Hey Reader,

You might be sick to death of hearing me harp on about $1 products and how they're the best way to filter freebie seekers vs buyers.

That’s great—but let’s get real for a second.

If you think crafting a $1 product system is a complete business, you’re leaving a lot of money on the table.

Most people completely misunderstand the real purpose of $1 Products. self-liquidating offers.

They think the goal is to make $100, $200, or even $1,000 per day from their $1 product.
But that’s not how successful businesses scale.

The true purpose of an SLO? To find buyers at cost, so you can turn them into high-ticket clients and repeat customers.

I recorded a video breaking this down—showing you exactly why a $1 product alone won’t get you where you want to be, and what you need to do instead.

This is the shift that separates those who scale from those who stay stuck.

Go watch it now,

Pete "$1 products are just the start" Boyle

Turns out there were more...

Yo! So I'm flirting with the idea of low-ticket done-for-you services. I've seen a couple of people shift this way and I want to test it. I mean, I've got the templates, systems, and proof to make this work. I just need a handful of people (I'm thinking 3-5) to help me work out the kinks. If you're up for it, hit reply and let me know. If you want more info, here's the detail. I'm of the opinion low-ticket offers will move on from the common... Info-based courses Fill-in-the-blank templates...

Yo! Was chatting to a GM+ member on Friday and we landed on the concepts of revenue growth. Specifically what the biggest brands out there do to hit ever greater profit. I wanted to share what we discussed here with you. Mainly because there's a lack of focus on this in the real world. Most people are still focusing on things like... New client acquisition Vanity metrics of likes, shares, comments etc Revenue instead of profit All of the above can be useful, but they're not the focus - or at...
