A note on selling digital offers

Published 7 months ago • 1 min read

I remember once spending months creating a course I thought was gonna be a knockout success.

Before launching I was already picturing my first 7-figure year and how I'd spend all the money I'd be making.

After months of crafting the perfect course that solved literally every problem the ICP had...

... weeks slaving over the sales page, promo emails, and social posts...

... I was ready to set it live.

I hit publish, sent the promos, and waited.

And waited. And waited.

At the end of the whole thing, I managed to make 4 sales from an email list of around 2000 people.

My dreams fo 7-figure dominance were dead, my morale was the lowest it had ever been.

I'd spent months on this thing and had barely anything to show for it.

Still, it was a good lesson on how to actually launch new products.

Now, I take a completely different approach which...

  • Cashflows quickly
  • Has actual validation
  • Takes as little as a morning to set up

I've put a video together on it below if you want to improve your digital product processes.

Yo, Let’s talk about one of the worst pieces of growth advice still floating around: “Just build a free lead magnet, run some ads, and nurture the list.” You know what that attracts? ... People who want free stuff.... People who were never going to buy in the first place.... People who drain your list, ghost your offers, and cost you money just by existing in your system. But hey — at least it feels productive, right? You slap together a checklist, throw up a landing page, and pretend it’s...

Yo, Quick heads up. I only keep 4 private 1:1 client slots open at any one time. 2 are already filled. And I’ve got calls booked with people looking to take the other two. If you’ve been on the fence, now’s the time to move. Not with urgency or hype — just a heads-up that I don’t keep this open constantly, and once these are filled, that’s it for a while. The main page (which you'll see below) will go back to an "apply to be on the waitlist" approach for this. And... I dunno when I'll open up...

Yo, If you’ve already got a solid offer — the one that drives most of your revenue or profit — the real question becomes: How do you sell more of it? The answer: You build around it. Or more accurately, you build a direct line TO the primary offer. Here’s what I mean. Most people are switching focus and launching something new every few months. ... New angle...... New funnel...... New lead magnet... Then they wonder why the free guide they built for Problem A isn’t helping them sell their...
