How much?

Published 11 months 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.

The big money is always made on the high-ticket offer. We all know this, and so we all push it. But if you're trying to get strategers to spend $5k of their hard-earned cash with you - a stranger - within a day or two of them finding you, you're going way too fast. I recorded a detailed video explaining how to get strangers to pay you $5k+ within 7-30 days. You can watch it here.

I love a deal. I'll research a new product I'm gonna buy like mad so I know I'm getting the best version at the best price. It's common in a lot of B2C purchases, right? Hell, even in some things like insurance there are dedicated comparison shopping sites. Here's the weird thing though. I'm seeing more and more comparison shoppers for B2B offers. I've spoken to a few coaches, agencies, and consultants recently who are seeing the same thing. They're getting people on the phone, but those...

Meta ads have been brutal over the last 8 weeks or so. They've been rolling out a new algo and it's made the platform way more volatile than usual. If you spend any time on the FB Ads subreddit, you'll see the panic and fear... "Worst month for ads ever in my 12+ years of advertising" "Meta advertising is dead" "I'm going back to Google ads" Then you've got all the copium that comes with it. People talking about how Meta platforms are dying (they're not), and how they don't want to pay Zuck....
