How The Sideways Sales Letter Powers The Launch Masterclass

With Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Masterclass starting today, I thought I’d give a quick insider’s look into one of the most powerful elements of a successful launch strategy: The Sideways Sales Letter.

Looking for a $2k to $5k cash pop as a Product Launch Formula Bonus? Visit this page to see how you can get it.

Since 2007 the concept of the Sideways Sales Letter has been a revolutionary approach to creating pre-launch content because of the way it builds anticipation and demand for your product or service. U

Unlike traditional sales letters that present all the information upfront, this strategy unfolds over time as a story, engaging your audience and nurturing their interest.

Here’s how it works:

Engagement Through Storytelling: The Sideways Sales Letter leverages the power of storytelling to captivate your audience. By sharing relatable stories and valuable insights, you create an emotional connection that resonates with your potential customers.
Delivering Value First: Instead of leading with a hard sell, this approach focuses on providing genuine value through educational and entertaining content. This builds trust and positions you as an authority in your field.
Creating Anticipation: By releasing content in a sequence, you build anticipation and curiosity. Each piece of content is designed to lead your audience to the next step, creating a natural progression towards your launch.
Addressing Objections: Throughout the pre-launch content, you have the opportunity to address common objections and concerns, smoothing the path for your audience to make a confident purchasing decision.
Building a Community: As your audience engages with your content, they become part of a community. This sense of belonging increases their investment in your success and makes them more likely to support your launch.

The Sideways Sales Letter has proven to be a game-changer because it transforms the way you communicate with your audience. It’s not just about selling a product; it’s about creating an experience that leads to a deeper connection and ultimately, a successful launch.

Join Jeff Walker’s Launch Masterclass to dive deeper into this strategy and learn how to apply it to your own business. This is your chance to master the art of launching and see firsthand why this method works so well.

Today’s 5 Most Profitable Product Launch Strategies

In this post we’re going to look at the 5 most profitable product launch strategies Jeff Walker teaches inside his Product Launch Formula program, and we’ll look at when you should use each one based on where you are in your business right now.

The 5 Primary Product Launch Types are:

The Seed Launch
The Internal Launch
The Joint Venture Launch
The Quick Launch
The Evergreen Launch

Depending on your goal and the products and services you sell, you could be considering one of these launch types to test the waters, or you could have several of them underway at the same time.

So let’s take a look at each of them in more detail, starting with:

The Seed Launch

The Seed Launch is great when you are just getting started with a new idea, and you want to create a product you KNOW your market wants to buy.

It’s also good option if you have no email list (or a small list), because it can help you build a list of prospects and buyers quickly. So basically it’s a way you can get your first list and your first product, and it’s also a great way to create a new product anytime.

You can learn more about the Seed Launch here.

Next up we have the bread and butter strategy of the Product Launch Ecosystem:

The Internal Product Launch

The Internal Launch is where we use the classic Sideways Sales Letter which consists of 3 pieces of Prelaunch Content spaced out over a few days or a week, leading into a sales video or sales letter where you open your shopping cart and start selling your product or service.

The Internal Launch (learn more about the Internal Product Launch here) gives you the opportunity to create and test your Prelaunch Content in a relatively save environment (because you are launching to your own prospects and customers), so you can prove your marketing in preparation for the next step, which is:

The Joint Venture (JV) Launch

Once you’ve completed your Internal launch, hardened your systems in preparation for an massive increase in website traffic, and proven your sales process converts, it’s time to bring in Joint Venture partners and affiliates to drive traffic to your Prelaunch Content and run your Joint Venture Launch.

The JV Launch is like pouring fuel on a fire because you can grow your email list super fast and generate a bunch of sales quickly. For many marketers, the list-build is the most valuable part of a JV Launch, because when you do it right you can generate thousands of new leads and paying customers who you can sell to over and over again in the future.

You can learn more about The JV Launch here.

Then we have:

The Quick Product Launch

The Quick Launch is a way to generate an influx of sales and cash quickly based around an event or a deadline. It’s quick, simple and very easy.

You just have to have an offer for a product or service, and an email list to promote to.

It’s very different to a Seed Launch or Internal Launch because it’s email only (no Prelaunch Content required), is story based, and you can make a lot of money quickly and easily, usually in just 3 to 5 days.

You can learn more about the Quick Launch here.

And finally, there’s:

The Evergreen Launch

Once you’ve proven your marketing funnel converts using an Internal Launch (or a JV Launch), you can take all of that content and set it up as a recurring sales system so when people join your email list, they go through their own personal version of your Product Launch

Having an Evergreen Launch makes your cashflow much more consistent because people are going through the process consistently based on when they join their list.

These work very well with paid traffic, so they are a great way to build your list and generate sales consistently over time.

You can learn more about the Evergreen Launch here.

So there you have the five PRIMARY types of launches taught in Product Launch Formula. Jeff has kept adding new versions of these, but these 5 are your bread and butter when using his PLF system.

Each type of launch will suit you at different times, and the one you use first will depend on where you are right now in your business.

Personally I’m considering creating my new course using a Seed Launch first, because it will give me a product I know people in the market want and are ready to buy.

If you can see the benefits of having a portfolio of launch strategies you can dig into at any time to generate more sales, then check out Jeff Walker’s free Product Launch Masterclass here.

The Core Strategy Behind Every Successful Product Launch

The first lesson of Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Masterclass drops TOMORROW, Monday, August 18th, at 7am ET (New York time).

Looking for a $2k to $5k cash pop as a Product Launch Formula Bonus? Visit this page to see how you can get it.

It’s called The Core Strategy Behind Every Successful Launch and it breaks down the Sideways Sales Letter® (SSL) and shows how it creates near-instant buzz and excitement around an offer by turning a standard-issue “marketing plan” on its side.

What Jeff shares in this lesson is more than proven… he’s taught this in Lesson 1 of every launch he’s ever done for Product Launch Formula, and it lays the foundation for everything else to come.

I can’t stress this enough. The correct use of your own PLC 1 is a critical piece of your product launch puzzle. It lays the groundwork and does most of the heavy lifting for the rest of your Prelaunch sequence.

The more people you get to check out PLC 1, the longer and more engaged they’ll be, and the more likely they are to convert into customers when you open your shopping cart.

Make sure you don’t miss watching how Jeff not only structures his PLC 1, but also the TYPE of structure he uses and how he rolls through the actual content. It will be something you’ll want to model for your own launch.

In Lesson 1, he’ll also cover:

The “P.S. Path” – what to do and say in each step of your launch
How to layer mental triggers into the Prelaunch Sequence to make offers practically irresistible
How to deliver just the right amount of content in your Prelaunch, so you provide high value but don’t give away the farm
A “look-over-his-shoulder” lesson where he puts the ideas from this lesson into action in real-time using AI tools (this is a fan favorite and really helps give that “I can do this!” feeling)

… and much, much more.

Remember, Lesson 1 is a critical one. The power of the Sideways Sales Letter us the secret sauce behind the world’s most successful launches, including Apple and the big movie studios, and it’s responsible for over a BILLION dollars of sales by Jeff and his clients.

And tomorrow, he’ll show you how easy it is to put to work in your business (only without needing a huge Hollywood budget).

Your Product Launch Formula Content MUST Do This

One of the nuances many Product Launch Formula users miss is something I learned from Travis Sago:

If you want your launch struggle, try to change people’s beliefs.

If you want to get rich, shine insight where they haven’t looked and change people’s focus.

Where light goes, focus goes.

When focus changes, thoughts change (on their own).

When thought changes behaviour changes.

Then they credit you – forever!

And all you did was give them a new place to look.

This is why your Product Launch content MUST give people insights rather than just information.

When you share insight, and then invite people to join your Program go deeper with you, many of them will accept the invitation.

Watch how Jeff Walker does this as he takes you through his Product Launch Masterclass. You can register for free here for the next few days.

Here’s How To Make Your Product Launch Offer Irresistible

If the goal of our Product Launch is to help as many people a we possibly can while making money, it’s critical we create a truly irresistible offer that people would feel foolish to say no to.

We’ve been talking about some of the factors involved in doing that, including being able to target a Present Pain rather than offering a Future Gain, Pre-Selling your prospects using the 5Ps to remove potential objections, and most importantly making sure your prospects are Pre-Sold on your New Plan before you make an offer.

But once you’ve done that, it’s important we don’t drop the ball by making a weak offer that doesn’t convert potential prospects into buyers.

Take a look at the graphic below which is based on what I have learned about creating HELL YES offers from Travis Sago.

NOTE: Click on the image and a full sized version will open in a new window. I recommend you download the file, print it out and laminate it for future reference…The further you can move your offer from the left (Hell NO) to the right (HELL YES) the better.

As you can see, a HELL NO offer is:

NOT Specific
NOT Relevant to the prospect
Seems UN-attainable
Has results that are NOT measurable
And offers FUTURE GAIN instead of solves a PRESENT PAIN

And the T.I.M.E.R. Risk Factors are high:

It will take the prospect MORE TIME to make a change than continue doing what they are doing
Their IDENTITY and how they feel about themselves could take a big hit if they buy
Buying will cost them more money than if they decide to pass
It will take more energy to make the change you are asking them to make than staying the same
They have a high risk to their REPUTATION and how friends and others see them if they make the change you are offering them

When you rate your product launch offer against all of these factors, you can quickly see how desirable (or otherwise) it will seem to your prospects.

I hope you find this offer-rating tool helpful.

Warm regards,

Rocky

Product Launch Formula Basics: You MUST Presell The New Plan

One of the biggest reasons a Product Launch Formula launch fails to produce the kind of results we are expecting is that people don’t believe your product or service will help them.

And one of the main reasons for that is you haven’t Pre-Sold Your New Plan.

Your people would not be consuming your Product Launch Content if they didn’t think you could help them solve a problem or achieve a desired result.

In other words, they are using some type of existing PLAN that isn’t working for them. If their existing plan worked, they would not be looking for a solution.

The Sideways Sales Letter we use in a typical Product Launch is the perfect vehicle to explain why their current plan is not working, and how your NEW plan will give them the TRANSFORMATION they need to achieve their desired result.

Your new plan MUST BE SUPERIOR, DESIRABLE AND CLEARLY DIFFERENT to anything they have ever seen or heard before.

You must clearly show how is it different to the “competition” or others selling similar solutions in your marketplace.

If you can show people why their old Plan isn’t working, and why your NEW plan offers the solution they are looking for, it’s like adding a gob of Wallet Lube to your sales process.

You should NEVER ask the people going through your Product Launch to give you money until AFTER they are convinced your new plan will work for them.

And speaking of Launches, Jeff Walker is holding his 2024 Product Launch Formula Masterclass in a few days time.

More Money From Product Launch Formula Than You Can Spend?

Would you like to make more money from Product Launch Formula than you can ever spend? Here’s the secret it took me three decades in marketing to truly understand.

Before you start creating your product, find out exactly what Present Pain your audience is FED UP with, and give them an entirely new, exciting, and desirable way out.

Offering solutions to a nagging pain your audience wants relief from RIGHT NOW is far more effective than offering to help them achieve a future gain that is somewhere off in the future.

So how the hell do you do that I hear you asking.

The first step is to come up with a list of potential Present Pains you are confident your audience is suffering from. You’re looking for stuff you know they are ALREADY desperate to fix, or desires they want to achieve RIGHT NOW.

Then, you create a short email/post inviting people to make the change they ALREADY want to make to achieve that outcome. Ask people to respond back to you if they would like more details.

Then when people reply, spend time asking questions and listening to their answers.

Once they have told you exactly what they are looking for, make an offer based on what they just told you.

What questions should you ask?

Ask them:

What’s important to them about making the change? Keep asking until you get to the truth.
Is this a change you want to make now? Or later? Why?
What happens if they don’t make a change? Who else is affected? What would that mean for you and them?
What’s stopping them from making the change on their own?
What have they tried so far? What happened? Why did that not work?
Would they like help getting over the obstacle they just told you about?

If you ask a dozen people…

You WILL have your offer dialled in better than 99% of other marketers, and you WILL make sales.

Incorporate what you’ve learned into your sales page (or a Google Doc), and then send them to the offer and make sale after sale after sale.

So…

What this really boils down to is:

Make invitations
Ask Questions
Put it in an offer
Keep listening, write down what they say and adjusting the offer
Make millions in sales

I truly hope this helps you to perfectly dial in your Product Launch Formula offer to make more money than you can ever spend.

Now having said that…

Launchy.ai Makes Product Launch Formula The Killer App

I think it was only last year that Launchy.ai was first included with Product Launch Formula as a way to help Content and Course Creators develop quality content for their launches quickly and easily.

And Launchy has been a fantastic tool for helping PLF owners to significantly cut down the Time it takes to go from idea to Content Creation to Launch.

But something that many have missed is that since many of us have got a library of video, audio and/or written content going back for years, Launchy.ai is perfect for repurposing all of that stuff and bringing it up to date for new audiences.

One of the things we’re excitedly focused on is using Launch.ai to repurpose our content into books, courses, membership programs and so much MORE!

I am blown away by what the program and some of the other AI tools can create that we can monetise in various ways.

There are endless money machines we can build using A.I.

In fact we believe MARRYING AI and repurposing our existing content gives birth to the most stress-free income streams ever created!

If you don’t have content of your own?

There are thousands of experts, coaches, consultants, content creators, and business owners with a fortune in IP just “sitting under their mattresses.”

…without the know-how or time to monetize it.

How cool would it be to be able to use Launchy.ai and Product Launch Formula to start earning royalty payments for content you didn’t even own?

If that is something that excites you too, I’ll be sharing how to do that with people who purchase Product Launch Formula through my affiliate link during Jeff Walker’s upcoming Product Launch Masterclass.

How Product Launch Formula Gives You Life Choices

Launching (or re-launching) a product, service or business using the Product Launch Formula gives you leverage gained from over two-decades of experience from thousands of PLF users.

Without leverage life seems cruel.

With leverage life gets easier, we have more options, more fun, and more life choice.

One reason is when the PLF process us used even half-arsed correctly we’ll make more money with each launch.

But money is only ONE form of leverage that Jeff Walker’s PLF process gives us.

Product Launch Formula Gives Us AT LEAST 5 Types Of Leverage

In addition to MONEY leverage, we also get:

TIME leverage (we can cut the time it takes to grow our business by months or years)
ENERGY leverage (we can afford to PAY people to take over some of the to-do list tasks for us)
IDENTITY leverage (having profitable launches makes us feel much better about ourselves and our ability to provide for our families)
REPUTATION leverage (we are seen as an industry leader by our peers and often attract some of them to become JV Partners and affiliates)

The leverage of PLF is available to almost everyone.

Yes there is a price tag of Time and Energy attached in order to gain access to this leverage.

And sadly only a few actively learn and use the leverage PLF gives us as a tool.

I think this is one reason why the Wealth Gap gets wider…

And why 90% of businesses eventually fail.

The fact is 1n 2024 it’s never been more doable to run a 7 figure high profit business with one person and a couple of helpers.

With leverage life gets easier, we have more options, more fun, and more life choice.

Without leverage life seems cruel.

Everyone gets a choice where to invest their time and energy…daily.

Leverage or Languish?

Learn to drive?

Or walk?
