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!

If we were to sit down and go through all the things I've done right in my career, and then all the things I've done wrong... ... the time split would be like a 10/90 split. I've failed so much more than succeeded over the years. They're good teaching moments. But, one of the more dangerous things in business isn’t choosing the wrong tactic. It’s committing to it. Once you’ve got buy-in from yourself or your team, you want it to work. So you keep pushing it longer than you should. Case in...

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... Post more content Launch more ads Send more emails Spin up more offers And that’s kinda the problem. Most businesses I see aren’t short on activity. You could argue they're drowning in...
