This is the way

Published about 1 year ago • 2 min read

My goal for the last few months has been to become a better operator when it comes to ads.

After all, if you understand the systems and processes to put $1 into advertising and get $1+ back, you can scale any offer.

The fundamentals remain true across different ad platforms and so, when you've got the fundamentals down, you're good to go with any offer.

You've just gotta learn the tactical approach for a new platform.

One of the people I've been learning from is a lady called Evelyn Weiss.

And, that lead me to a recent YT interview with her about ads (you can watch it here).

The ad stuff itself is super interesting and I'd recommend it to anyone who runs ads.

But the thing that stuck with me is Evelyn's answer to a specific question.

You see, Evelyn has a community of around 2600 people paying $49 / month for her community.

A rough calculation puts her at $120,000 per month in revenue.

She's pulling over $1M /year as a community owner.

Wanna know the weirdest bit of this though?

She hasn't yet added any high-ticket offers.

The normal stuff we all add as it's where a lot of profit is made. Stuff like...

  • 1:1 Coaching
  • Done for you services
  • Agency services

The stuff you charge big bucks.

She's hit $1M a year without them.

When asked why she hasn't done high-ticket offers or built a business that's scalable without her, she responded...

"Ultimately every business ends in the same place.
You're an owner, you have a great team that runs the business for you and you're not very involved in what you're selling anymore.
I think that I am not ready for this yet because who I want to be right now is more of a expert than a business owner.
Right now my main goal is to keep growing as a marketing expert, to keep learning, being better at my craft"

It might sound obvious.

But I speak to a lot of people trying to sell something and quickly ascend to the "I'm an expert" phase without putting in the reps.

They want to be the person who is paid super high fees for hand off advisory without first having been in the arena and learning through their own fails and wins.

I rarely speak to people who are saying "I want to become the best at this", they just want to see something as if they are the best at it.

One follows the other, and a lot of folk have it backwards.

This attitude Evelyn has is the reason she's winning.

And if you want to win, I recommend doing the same.

Put the hours in and become the best at what you do, then the high ticket sales will follow because you'll have the knowledge to be a genuine expert.

That's my primary goal in 2025.

What's yours?

Yo, One thing I haven’t really said yet is this. High Value Offers isn’t something you use once and hope you picked the right idea. It’s more like a way of looking at your business that keeps paying you back. Most people assume this kind of system is only useful when you’re starting from scratch. Like, “I don’t know what to sell, so this helps me find an idea.” And yeah, it does that. If you’re staring at a blank page wondering what to build next, this gives you a way to find ideas that...

Yo, One thing that messes people up with offers is they assume this has to be difficult. Like there’s some tax you have to pay in confusion before you’re allowed to make money. ... Weeks of thinking.... Months of building.... Endless second-guessing. I get it, money is the primary tool for survival in our world, so we kinda all want to think it's hard to acquire. But the reality is, the only reason this feels hard is because most people start in the wrong place. They start with the product....

Yo, Let me tell you what changes when the offer is right. And I don’t mean perfect.I mean right - or good enough if you prefer. The biggest shift isn’t more sales. It’s how calm everything feels. When demand is there, you stop guessing. You don’t sit there rewriting emails at midnight wondering if this is the angle.You don’t stare at Stripe refreshing like it owes you money.You don’t finish calls feeling like you somehow messed it up. Things just... move. People reply to emails with things...
