What if you had to start from absolute zero?


You ever see those people who've been in the game for a decade plus saying stuff like...

  • You've just gotta do this simple thing...
  • It's easy when you do this...
  • Do this to make money...

... and you think, well yeah, that's easy for you cause you've got...

... an established audience...
... major reputation...
... loadsa cash...

A lot of the time, when someone starts to see success, they start to forget what it was like to grow something from scratch.

How to get something from 0-1 with limited budget and without a reputation to leverage.

What would doing that look like in 2025?

Well, I'm planning on finding out.

I've set myself a fun little challenge to create a new offer in an industry where I have...

  • Zero reputation
  • Zero established audience
  • Zero pre-created products/offers
  • Only $500 to spend as the initial launch budget

... and I'm seeing how long it will take me to turn a profit with this.

I've put all the details of the challenge together here for you to look into.

In short, I'll be sharing what I'm doing and how it's working with you here, through email.

And I'll be sharing all of the tools, templates, systems, and frameworks with all the folk in GM+.

Check out the page above and, if you've got Qs, hit reply an d let me know.

Let's see if I can grow a brand new offer with only $500 to spend.

Speak soon,

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....

Email subscriber JP emailed me with the below question in response to an email I sent about the old method of turning cold leads into high-ticket clients being broken. Dear Peter,Sam Ovens later admitted his old way was broken.But what do you think of the model of Russ Ruffino?Is that still working today?How does it differ from your model?Thanks and God bless. I responded with this (I try to respond to all emails I receive). I’m not super familiar with Russ’s model. From a quick search it...
