How much?

Published about 13 hours ago • 1 min read

A couple of days back I caught some criticism for saying that free lead magnets just aren't good enough.

It was the usual spiel from me.

People who pay once will pay again. Low ticket offers build a more engaged list. Yada yada yada.

Well, someone took umbrage with and decided to message me about how wrong I was.

Which is cool. You have your opinions, I have mine. I'm not so precious that I can't hear and consider another viewpoint.

It doesn't bother me because I've seen how low-ticket offers build more engaged lists that are primed for buying higher-ticket, profit-driving offers.

And I'm not the only one who's seen it.

The day after I received Mr "Give it all away for free"s email, I received a message from someone in the GM Community.

They'd previously mentioned they get a much better response rate from people who had bought their $1 offer. So I asked, how much better...

They went away to check the stats, and then came back to me with this...

The % of people who bought their signature offer was 12X higher for people who had first bought a $1 product.

Once again, this is all proven with actual data.

People you attract with free stuff, want to take more free stuff.

People you attract with a low-cost offer will give you something back for your efforts.

So, if you're using free lead magnets and struggling to sell products to your list, consider switching those lead magnets to low-cost paid offers.

Even a single dollar can make the difference for you down the line.

And if you want help setting something like this up, check out the $1 Product Challenge here. ​

I've started doing this thing in the GM+ Community where I set aside a few hours every week and offer video feedback. You send few key pieces of info and a link to what you want reviewed or audited. Then, I record a personalised feedback video as a response so you've got some ideas on how I'd try to remove the problem and get growth back on track. I've just hit publish on this week's post. However, this week I'm opening it to everyone. So, if you're facing a problem you don't know how to...

A couple of days back I did an analysis of a cool FB ad funnel I found in the wild. It's published in the GM+ Community. A member chimed in with some more detail about the person who runs the ads and, to cut a long story short, the ad creator is incredible. She's absolutely printing money through FB. But that's a story for another day. I spent some more time deconstructing how she runs such insane ads and here's the basics. Creates an ad Generates social proof by getting her community to...
