A note on selling digital offers

Published 10 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.

I've been trying to get the $1 Product Challenge working through YouTube ads as a self-liquidating offer. When I'm working something like this out, I keep a long-form document where I drop my... ... thoughts...... observations...... experiments and results... ... writing it all out helps me format my thoughts and understand what I'm actually doing. I've then got a cool doc that forms the base of a course or workshop once I've cracked the code. Anyway, I'm consdering adding these documents...

"How much content do I need to launch a new offer?" I recently had this convo with a member of GM+ who's launching something new. They were asking whether they needed... A full website with multiple pages, content, proof etc A simple funnel ... to land new clients. For years, I was setting up the former. I had this long-arse list of pages, content etc that was "needed" to launch a new offer. Home page, about page, offer page, contact page, testimonial page, 4 pieces of launch blog content,...

I've worked with so many people stuck in a self-defeating loop. They think they need an audience to sell their offer… But they can’t grow an audience because they have nothing focused to sell. So they just post random crap, hoping someone, somewhere, bites. And when no one engages or buys... They blame it on “not having an audience.” It’s backwards. Look, I collect cash from people who have never seen my beautiful face every single day. This morning, I spent $24 on a course from someone I've...
