$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. 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 |

This year? His numbers tanked and he intrduced a new "$47 webinar" to validate serious buyers. I know...
So I just did a breakdown analysis for the GM+ crowd (you can join us with a special BFCM deal here). It was a funnel teardown of a chap running LinkedIn ads, and to be blunt... the approach is awful. This guy has made pretty much all of the mistakes you can make... Ads that generate curiosity but zero serious intent No clarity on what he’s actually selling An application that doesn’t explain the next steps Running the whole thing at “50 percent off”, which only attracts bargain hunters He’s...
Saw an awesome post on FB from Alex Becker (founder of Hyros) and I wanted to riff on it a bit as it's something you need to be focusing on if you wanna scale. This is something I'm focusing more on for my own offers and also the people I help in places like GM+ (join here over BF to get some bonuses). In short, the secret of scale is economics. No surprise there. But a lot of people get this wrong - and it's worth taking time to remind you of what you should be focusing on to get better...
