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.

Yo, What's the first thing you do in the morning when you wake up? If you're anything like me it's... ... Snooze the alarm... Quickly check for Stripe notifications The number of (or lack of) Stripe notifications dictate my morning mood. Which probably isn't healthy, but... Anyway, it's an issue I think a lot of us have. Refreshing the tab/app like the internet might suddenly change its mind about the number of sales you've made. And then you get to your desk and open your emails only to see...

Yo, Years back, my laptop screen suddenly stopped working. The machine itself worked fine, but the screen just gave up one day. Not an issue as I'm a double-screen kinda guy. I just dropped down to one screen for a few days. Anyway, fortunately for me, I'd just had a big invoice paid. So I trotted off to the Apple store to buy a replacement. And for the next three weeks, I lived in this weird state of fear. I'd just dropped thousands on a new laptop… at a time when my revenue was super lumpy....
