Website vs Funnel...


"How much content do I need to launch a new offer?"

I recently had this convo with a member of GM+ who's launching something new.

They were asking whether they needed...

  1. A full website with multiple pages, content, proof etc
  2. A simple funnel

... to land new clients.

For years, I was setting up the former.

I had this long-arse list of pages, content etc that was "needed" to launch a new offer.

Home page, about page, offer page, contact page, testimonial page, 4 pieces of launch blog content, etc. etc. etc.

When I think about how much time I wasted on all that now, it makes me cringe.

In an ideal world, you'd have all of that.

And you can still spend days or weeks crafting it all if you want.

But if you want to launch something new, quickly. Here's a full list of everything you need.

  1. A sales page for your low-ticket product to identify buyers
  2. A funnel that increases the AoV

That's it.

If the product is less than $100, you can answer every question the user will have on a single sales page and turn cold traffic into buyers.

And then the funnel is there to bump that AoV and make scale possible.

As soon as I realised this, I went from taking days to set up new offers to hours.

Of course, if you want to sell high ticket, you're gonna need more.

But that comes later. You can build the trust needed for a high-ticket sale through email and simple GDocs once you've got them into your system.

All of which can be done fast, cheap, and efficiently.

So, if the thought of having to do a tonne of stuff has kept you standing still, know it doesn't have to be this way.

You can get things moving with the bare minium.

All the templates and system to help you do this are in the $1 Product Challenge which you can grab here.

Any Qs, hit reply and let me know.

I've been trying to get the $1 Product Challenge working through YouTube ads as a self-liquidating offer. When I'm working something like this out, I keep a long-form document where I drop my... ... thoughts...... observations...... experiments and results... ... writing it all out helps me format my thoughts and understand what I'm actually doing. I've then got a cool doc that forms the base of a course or workshop once I've cracked the code. Anyway, I'm consdering adding these documents...

I've worked with so many people stuck in a self-defeating loop. They think they need an audience to sell their offer… But they can’t grow an audience because they have nothing focused to sell. So they just post random crap, hoping someone, somewhere, bites. And when no one engages or buys... They blame it on “not having an audience.” It’s backwards. Look, I collect cash from people who have never seen my beautiful face every single day. This morning, I spent $24 on a course from someone I've...

Couple of days back I was on a consult with a GM+ member. They've just finished building some new offers, but wanted help in structuring the acquisition side of the equation. In 20 minutes, I mapped out a full $1 product funnel that: Had a potential order value of over $300 Reused 80% of assets they already had Needed maybe 1 hour of work to finish Will pre-sell these same users on their primary offer They're off working to et the thing live right now. And once they've got it up and running,...
