How To Change People’s Lives Using A Kick-Arse Product Launch

It doesn’t really matter what your business is, there’s no doubt you have knowledge, skills and business systems that LOTS of other people would love to know too, and many of them would pay handsomely to learn.

That’s because it’s much easier to learn from and model what somebody has already successfully achieved, instead of trying to work it all out on your own.

It can save you a lot of time, frustration, anxiety, failure, humiliation… and of course money.

And thousands of people have successfully launched all kinds of products, services, books, movies, coaching and training programs, games, apps, seminars and events, training courses, and nearly everything else you can imagine using Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula.

If you can think of it, one of Jeff’s students has probably launched it!

I’ve seen case studies of students in markets including:

  • Music lessons and marching band accessories
  • Coaching golf, tennis and youth soccer
  • CPAs and Accountants (financial coaching, business strategy, tax preparation, financial planning, estate planning)
  • Handwriting analysis and calligraphy
  • Human and pet first aid, survival and prepping, self defence, martial arts, UFC
  • Stocks, options, currencies and futures trading
  • Horse ballet (or dressage)
  • How to write all kinds of books, courses, scripts and poetry
  • How to play piano, violin and all kinds of other musical instruments
  • All kinds of business related products and services
  • Even Cow embryos (yeah, I know!!)…

…plus all kinds of other stuff as well.

And it’ll work for you even if you don’t have a digital product yet.

In fact, Jeff says that’s often the best time to plan your launch. BEFORE you’ve created a product (you’ll see how and why in video 2 by using a Seed Launch).

If you create an awesome online training course, it can be life-changing for your students.

And it can be life-changing for you, too, by increasing your authority and recognition in your market…

…not to mention the satisfaction you get when you hear that your training has touched people’s lives for the better.

Oh, and then there’s the money you can make 🙂

Curious to learn more about creating and launching online courses, and how they could boost your business?

Then if you haven’t watched all of the Product Launch Formula video training yet, and you’ve ever thought you’d like to monetise the skills, knowledge or experience you have inside you with a product you can sell online to help people all over the world…

…you should watch them now because they will be going away tomorrow when Jeff opens the shopping cart for PLF.

Using Product Launch Formula To Put Your List Building On Steroids

One of the most powerful (and ultimately profitable) things about using Product Launch Formula is the giant list build you are able to do when you run a JV launch.

You could have 5, 10 or even 20 launch partners all mailing your awesome pre-launch content out to their people, and every one of those people joins YOUR email database when that happens so they can participate in the process.

That means you can grow your list exponentially, while only paying affiliate commissions to your JV partners AFTER their people buy your product or service.

You get to KEEP all of those prospects, and you can sell to them later on.

And while it’s a good idea to pay your JV partners for future sales you make of your products (but you don’t have to), you NEVER have to give those JV partners any of the profits you make from any affiliate sales you make for other people in the future.

All of those affiliate commissions are yours…

Just by way of example,  6 of the top 11 people on Jeff’s Joint Venture Partner’s Leaderboard in his most recent launch – people who have used the PLF process to launch their own products – are now using the big, responsive lists they built during those launches to participate in and dominate the top positions in JEFF’S launch.

How freaken cool is that?

Can you imagine doing this for yourself?

If you’d like to learn more about creating a kick-arse launch for your product or service that sells a bunch of stuff while building a big fat list of targeted prospects you can sell more stuff to later on, you can do that here.

Cheers,

How To Create A Crushing Offer For Your Product Launch Formula Launch

The easiest way to make sure your product launch is a hit with your customers is to go all out and create what Jeff Walker calls a Crushing Offer.

So what is a Crushing Offer?

Here’s what Jeff says about it in his Product Launch Formula Mind Map –

1 – Create an offer so strong it’s almost impossible to refuse. In other words, people would feel like an idiot for not taking you up on it.

2 – Give people what they want, because it makes everything a LOT easier for you

3 – Identify and answer objections during your launch content and forget about using any kind of “hard sell”

The idea is to make your launch offer so compelling that it’s easier for people to say yes than it is to say no.

The thing you’re launching should give your new customers everything they want to solve a problem they’ve told you they have, or achieve an outcome they told you they wanted to achieve.

And as you’ll recall, you learned how to find out exactly what they want by surveying them both BEFORE you started your Seed Launch, and then each week as you rolled out your Seed Launch to get feedback and gauge how your students were going.

That way you know your potential customers are going to be salivating over the prospect of getting their hands on your awesome new product as soon as you release it.

As Jeff says, rather than overwhelming people with a bunch of stuff in an effort to give your product a ‘Thud Factor’, when you find out exactly what people want to buy, and you make them an irresistible offer for it, you don’t have to ‘sell’ them on buying.

They naturally want to give you money to get the solution you KNOW they are after because they told you what it was.

How cool is that?

Understanding The Strategy Behind Product Launch Formula

The beautiful thing about using a product launch, instead of doing what most businesses do which is try to grow one customer at a time, is you stop using what Jeff Walker calls ‘Hope Marketing’…

… and start using a proven system for generating a bunch of new leads (people who you can market to later on if they don’t buy straight away) and sales (which give you money to spend and use to grow your business now).

The way you’ll be doing that is to create a structured sequence of pre-launch content (which ideally should be in the form of videos with accompanying PDF documents, but it doesn’t have to be) that teaches people a number of valuable techniques or insights that:

  • Give them actionable strategies they can use and benefit from immediately (you’re giving people results in advance)
  • Position you as an expert who can help them to solve their problems or achieve their goals (so they see you as the only person who can help them)
  • Build anticipation for the product or service you have coming so people are standing in line waiting to buy from you when you open the shopping cart
  • Allow you to sell in a non-slimey, non-hyped way, that is extremely effective (so you are authentic, and don’t come off as a typical online marketing get-rich-quick ‘huckster’ or used car salesman)

When you combine this process with a Crushing Offer that makes it easier for people to say yes to buying from you instead of no, you could literally make more sales in a week than you usually make all month (or even all year if you run a JV launch).

The Product Launch Formula Videos

How To Get Paid To Create Your Product – The Seed Launch

In this video, creator of the Product Launch Formula, Jeff Walker, walks you through the first launch most people who don’t have a product of their own do, which is the Seed Launch.

This type of launch allows you to test whether the market actually wants what you are thinking of creating, and then get paid BEFORE you even create the product.

Plus because your students help you to create the perfect product that they want to buy, you get a lot more ‘buy-in’.

You can find the step-by-step details of how to create a Seed Launch for your product or service by reading this post.

And If you’d like to learn even more about using the PLF process to get paid to create your own product and sell it using a Product Launch, you can register to do that here.

The Internal Launch – How To Create A Big Payday For Your Business

If you’ve followed Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula process and created your product by doing a Seed Launch, OR if you already have products or services and you’d like to increase sales, one of the fastest ways to do that is by using an Internal Launch.

An Internal Launch is a great way to not only generate a burst of sales for your business, but to grow the bond you have with your audience by giving them awesome, valuable content that helps them by actually helping them.

You can find the step-by-step details of how to create an Internal Launch for your product or service by reading this post.

The JV Launch – Leverage Your Work With The Biggest Product Launch Of All

The Joint Venture (or JV) Launch is the pinnacle of applying Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula because it allows you to leverage all of the work you’ve done on your Seed Launch and your Internal Launch, and multiply your results using partners who are paid for results.

The JV Launch lets you tap into the audiences of your partners to generate a huge windfall of sales, and grow your list exponentially in the process. That’s because you could be putting your launch content in front of thousands or tens of thousands potential customers.

Yes you pay an affiliate commissions to your partners, but the great thing is you only pay them AFTER they’ve made sales for you, AND you get to keep every subscriber, even those who didn’t purchase this time.

Then you can promote other products and services to your new subscribers, so you can make a fortune on the backend.

You can find the step-by-step details of how to create a big JV Launch for your product or service, and see all the benefits including the massive list building opportunity a JV launch presents, by reading this post.

How To Use An Internal Product Launch Step By Step

An Internal Product Launch is great if you have an existing business and you would like a quick injection of cash while growing your relationship with your prospects ad customers.

It’s the logical next step after you’ve finished your Seed Launch and your product is ready to be promoted to a wider audience.

Or you can learn more about creating a Seed Launch here.

You can use an Internal Product Launch to:

  • Launch a new product or service to your existing database
  • Re-launch an existing product or business to generate a windfall of new sales
  • Launch a new business or line extension quickly instead of taking the slow, painful and expensive path of trying to grow

The Internal Product Launch Quick Steps

Step 1: Create and publish your Sideways Sales Letter

Create a series of Prelaunch Content (PLC) that provides value:

PLC1 – Shows the Opportunity

PLC2 – Paints the Transformation

PLC3 – Gives the Ownership Experience

Most PLC is created with video, but you don’t have to do video. You could use email or blog posts or other types of content.

Not sure if an Internal Launch is the right strategy for you? Take this short quiz to help you decide where your best Product Launch opportunity is right now, and get a Free personalised Report explaining your biggest opportunity and how to take advantage of it right away – Take The Quiz here.

Step 2: Email your list sending them to your Prelaunch Content

Use a sequence of email messages to share your valuable Pre Launch Content with your subscribers (as discussed in the Product Launch Blueprint).

Also post about your PLC to your social media channels so you get the maximum exposure.

Step 3: Release your Sales Video and start taking orders

This is the fun part. Create a sales video that shares the details of your program and makes what Jeff Walker calls a ‘Crushing Offer’.

A Crushing Offer is one where it’s easier for people to say YES to what you are selling than no.

Some components of a Crushing Offer might include:

  • Immediate access to the entire training program which includes video, audio and PDF transcripts
  • Checklists, Cheat Sheets, Calculators, Mind Maps and other tools to help students get the most value from the training
  • One on one calls with you or somebody on your team (this might be in the platinum package only)
  • A Private Mastermind group (on LinkedIn, Facebook or inside a community such as New Kajabi)
  • Regular live calls with you or a team member to have additional training and student’s questions answered
  • A rock-solid guarantee that removes the risk from the student and puts it all on you to deliver the results you’ve promised

There are plenty of other options for making your offer irresistible. If you’d like my advice on coming up with a Crushing, irresistible offer for your product or service, feel free to get in touch.

How To Do A Seed Launch Step By Step

As Jeff Walker teaches in his Product Launch Formula training, the first launch you should do if you don’t have a list or a product is a Seed Launch.

The Seed Launch is AWESOME if:

  • You’re just starting out and you don’t have a list or product.
  • You’ve got an existing business and you want to test out a new idea.
  • You want to get paid before you actually create the product.
  • You’re a “perfectionist” and you’re having a hard time ever finishing your products.

Here are the quick steps you’ll be taking in your Seed Launch

Step 1: Gather your initial Seed list

Start to gather a small Seed List with a simple squeeze page to collect email addresses in exchange for a Lead Magnet or some premium content

Send a personal email to everybody you know telling them you are starting a newsletter on ______ topic,and asking them if they’d like to receive it.

Publish or post ideas related to your topic on social media channels including groups related to your niche market.

Once you’ve gathered 100 email addresses, continue to Step 2.

Step 2: Put together a simplified Sideways Sales Letter

See video 1 in this series if you need a refresher on the Sideways Sales Letter.

Your simplified Sideways Sales Letter doesn’t have to be fancy, and it doesn’t have to be video… it can be a series of emails or social media posts.

Make an offer for a series of 3-7 group coaching calls where you deliver your content on a one-to-many format.

Step 3: Deliver your content over a series of webinars or teleseminars

Split your topic area into a series of sub-topics, and teach one for each call.

Before the first call, send out a super-short survey to find out the top questions on that sub-topic so you know what your students want to know the most.

Use the survey responses to plan what you need to cover on the first call.

Repeat the surveys after each call asking what additional questions they have on the upcoming sub-topic. Use the questions to plan the call.

Record everything, get it transcribed, and package your recordings and transcripts into a product.

Then you’re ready to do an Internal Launch to the people on your email database who didn’t participate in your Seed Launch training.

How To Start With A Seed Launch & Grow Your Business From There

The very first product launch I did in 2008 was a ‘Seed Launch’, which as you’ll recall is Step 2 in our 5 Steps To A 6 Figure Product Launch process:

Product Launch Formula - Seed Launch

At the time, I had been selling all different products as an affiliate, with one in particular bringing in around 80% of my income.

The Seed Launch was to create a multi-week coaching program to help people who purchased that affiliate product get better results, and I had around 40 students who paid $37 each go through the launch with me.

So I made the princely sum of $1480 (less payment processing fees) for 4 weeks of ‘work’ which worked out to be a total of around 10 hours.

Not really a big deal.

But here’s the thing…

Having that completed product enabled me to give it away as a bonus to EVERY person who purchased the affiliate product through my link.

And that (along with a small amount of personal email coaching) helped me to make thousands of dollars in commissions every single month for more than 5 years…

…until the merchant changed their affiliate program rules and killed the thing dead (there’s a long, sad story of ineptitude and stupidity on their part; I’ll tell you about that another day…).

So that’s one way to use a Seed Launch, but there are lots of others.

Talk soon,

Rocky
