A note on selling digital offers

Published about 1 year 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.

A little while back, my downspout from our roof terrace was blocked. I'd look out of the window and see the hoppers filling with water, which then spilled all over the side of the house. Obviously, not ideal, but I could easily fix this myself... or at least I thought it was. I grabbed a drain snake and got to work after an hour or so of rattling that snake around, I patted myself on the back for a job well done. Yet when the next rain came, it overflowed again. 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...
