Gearing up for BF


We're in the run-up to the Black Friday / Cyber Monday weekend.

A huge opportunity for your biz as this is a month where people are gearing up and looking to buy.

Your job is to craft an offer that's a no brainer.

Something that provides enough value with a low enough threat for your customers to grab it without even thinking.

Here's the thing.

Don't wait until the BF/CM weekend to start your promos.

START NOW.

Here's what you need to do well over the BFCM weekend.

  1. A low cost offer (you can get help with this in the $1 Product Challenge)

Build something low-cost that's fully aligned with your primary money-making offer.

Launch to your existing audience and get it in front of your ICP who aren't yet in your audience.

Promo this over the next few weeks to build a list of hot buyers.

2. Your primary money-making offer

This is the high-ticket thing that covers your income needs.

Craft a new promo for this that highlights what a steal it is and why people want and need it.

Build it around the needs, desires, and problems the buyers you're attracting are facing.

Then, launch that a week or so before BF/CM all the way through to the end with the usual FOMO, close, etc elements.

By appealing to the buyers, you're not wasting time on the freebie seekers.

By launching low-cost to high-cost systems, you're creating good momentum with the offer stack.

By having a low-cost offer, you can cover costs for spend.

By having high-cost upsells, you're covering your money-making needs.

Not unreasonable to think you could easily add another $10k+ in this month alone.

So get to it.

Want help on the front-end stuff, grab the $1 Product Challenge here to build better acquisition systems.

Get it here.

Good luck!

A big name marketer shared the results of a study he did last week on how brands are marketing in 2026. Long story short, most of them are... Cutting ad spend Cutting content/online PR Removing agencies ... all because the lead quality is trash. It went on to explain how people are moving back to in-person marketing and the established methods are dying off. Which ain't exactly true. Look, brands are cutting spend. And yeah, I agree that in-person stuff - or at least non AI stuff - is gonna...

Busy, but not productive, has sadly become one of my most commonly used phrases. I'm seeing this more and more in the business I help. Action being taken, campaigns being spun up, and tactics being OK's simply because it's easier than ever to get them going. I mean, with AI, all it takes is a few clicks to...
