BUILDING A 1-PERSON BUSINESS TO $35K / MO (WHILE STILL PROTECTING MY FREE TIME)
▸ $35k / mo breakdown:
▸ Selling digital products, training programs, and coaching programs of my own via Facebook ads
▸ Building Facebook and Instagram ad funnels for other experts / coaches / consultants to sell their high ticket digital products
… WITH NO WEBSITE, BLOG, PODCAST, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OR BIG SOCIAL ACCOUNTS (WHICH MADE IT EASY TO GET STARTED)
▸ What I hope you’ll get out of this:
▸ More context on becoming a freelance copywriter working with “high ticket” clients
▸ Tactics to sell your own high ticket products through Fb ad funnels
▸ First email the email sequence: “Can I ask you a quick question?”
▸ Based on responses, build the table of contents for the course
▸ Blog post -> CTA -> Super ghetto Mailchimp opt-in page -> 5 day email sequence -> sales page -> purchase
▸ Iteration 1: $49
▸ Iteration 2: $97
▸ Iteration 3: $197
▸ Iteration 4: $497
▸ Iteration 5: $997
▸ Problem: There’s a limit to the stuff I can teach… aka the funnels I could build
▸ So… I decided I’d try and replicate this for other experts…
▸ And sell “funnel building” as a service
FUNNEL ANATOMY
▸ 1. Ad copy
▸ 2. Landing page -> lead magnet
▸ 3. 10-15 day email sequence
▸ 4. Sales page
▸ 5. Purchase
EXAMPLE 1: “FUNNEL BUILDING AS A SERVICE” AD CAMPAIGN
AND THEN…
▸ 1. 15 main follow up emails, CTA on each email is to drive people to a consultation call
▸ 2. Sales call
▸ 3. Close
MAIN TIP FOR SELLING DIGITAL PRODUCTS: FOCUS ON MESSAGE OVER TACTICS
▸ Your message = your “unconventional truth”
▸ What does everyone else in your space do, that you disagree with?
▸ In other words… “Most people do X, but I believe you should do Y”
▸ And also, broad targeting & being real
EXAMPLE 2: COPYWRITING COURSE AD CAMPAIGN
3.8x return
AND THEN…
▸ 1. 14 main follow up emails. Free content for the first 6 emails, sales for the next 7 emails
▸ 2. Sales page
▸ 3. Purchase
EXAMPLE 3: “HOW TO BUILD A LEAD GEN AGENCY” COACHING PROGRAM
AND THEN…
▸ 1. Ad copy
▸ 2. Landing page / lead magnet: “How I built a $25k - $30k / mo cold email lead gen agency with no experience or testimonials starting out”
▸ 3. 10 day email sequence
▸ 4. Sales page
▸ 5. Purchase
Spend: $3.5k
Return: $23k+
6-7x consistent up front returns
“WHY DOES IT WORK SO CONSISTENTLY?”
▸ Disproportionate focus on the message
▸ Using the “unconventional truth” as the foundation for all the copy
▸ Targeting broad, “set and forget” niches when possible
▸ When I work with clients, focusing on charging a % revenue over charging them up front
“WHY SELL THIS A SERVICE?”
▸ 1) Instagram and Fb are producing unbelievable returns right now
▸ 2) Most people aren’t good at writing copy that sells
▸ 3) You don’t have to be a great writer to build funnels that work
▸ 4) Real lucrative
▸ 5) Not many other services scale as smoothly
▸ Assume you get 5 clients over the next year
▸ You deliver 1 funnel each that does $10k / month (5 sales at $2k each)
▸ You charge 20% commission on revenues
▸ Equals $10k / month net for you
THE LAUNCH PROCESS
▸ 1) Questionnaire to figure out the “point of view”
▸ 2) Positioning the product (i.e. “start an agency” vs “start a social media agency” vs “start a consulting business”)
▸ 3) Creating 2-3 free videos
▸ 4) Figure out Fb targeting
▸ 5) Write the ad copy
▸ 6) Start the email funnel with a “quick question”
▸ 7) Write a 10 email sequence based on those responses
