How To Quickly Create Products And Bonuses For Your Product Launch

If you’re planning on doing a product launch, then you’re going to be creating at least one core product, along with a number of bonuses.

And ultimately your sales process could include:

One or more lead magnets so you can generate new prospects for your product launch
Potentially one ‘tripwire’ products you sell before your launch to reduce your lead cost
Your core offer including the training, checklists, cheatsheets and any personal attention you’ll be delivering
And up to 5 bonus products

NOTE: Jeff discusses all of the components you’ll need to create a great product for your launch in his Product Launch Blueprint which you can download here.

Once you move past your launch, or if you create an evergreen launch, you might include upsells, cross-sells, backend offers and more opportunities for people to buy from you.

Now here’s the problem…

All of this product creation can take a LOT of time.

You need to do market research to understand what people want to buy…

You need to go through the process of actually creating the products…

And you need to proof, edit and format them…

And that doesn’t even count the marketing for your launch.

The good news is that you have three really good options when it comes to creating products. These options include:

1. Doing it yourself

2. Outsourcing it to a competent freelancer (or a team of freelancers)

3. Getting other experts to create it for you for free.

Which one should you use?

Honestly, the best option is to use a combination of all 3.

Sometimes you’ll want to create a product yourself, sometimes you’ll want to outsource, and sometimes you’ll get others to create them for you for free.

Let’s take a look at each of these three methods…

Creating Your Products Yourself

Most people who are new to the information product business do all or most of the product creation themselves.

That’s okay. Just keep these 3 tips in mind:

Do your market research first. This should ALWAYS be the first step of creating a product, no matter which option you choose. Find out what people in your market is already buying by checking marketplaces like ClickBank.com and Amazon.com, and then create something similar yet better.
Create an outline. Don’t just wing it. Creating a solid outline will help you create a product that is truly useful for your customers.
Schedule specific blocks of time to work. In other words, take your work time as seriously as you schedule any other time, such as appointments. Then create a daily to-do list, and don’t stop working until you’ve accomplished what you’ve set out to do on that particular day.

Outsourcing Your Product Creation

A lot of people think they can’t afford to outsource. However, you may be surprised at just how affordable it is.

Take this example…

Let’s suppose your goal is to build a business generating $100,000 this year working 20 hours each week for 50 weeks. That works out to 1000 hours worth of work, which makes each hour you work worth $100 per hour.

Now consider how long it takes you to do a particular task. For example, how long would it take you to write, edit, format and put the finishing touches on a 5000 word report? It might take you 10 hours to do the research and the writing.

If it takes you 10 hours, and your time is worth $100 per hour, then it “costs” you $1000 to create this report yourself. Meanwhile, you can easily find a really good freelancer who’ll produce that same product for you for a fraction of that price. In turn, that frees up your time to focus on high-value tasks such as marketing.

Just keep these two tips in mind:

Cast a wide net when looking for an outsourcer or freelancer. You might go to freelancing sites such as upwork.com, ask for recommendations on business forums and in Facebook groups you are a member, and even post ads on employment sites such as indeed.com.
Do your due diligence. Carefully researching candidates upfront will save you a lot of time, money and frustration down the road. The LAST thing you should do is shop around based on price. Instead, be sure the freelancer has an established history of producing good work in a professional and timely manner.
Create a comprehensive, well thought out plan or roadmap for your freelancer to quote on and then follow when they are awarded the gig. The more information and direction you can give people, the better the end result will be.

Getting Others to Create Your Products – For Free

How is this possible?

Simple – you crowdsource your product.

What you do is gather experts together in your niche, and ask each expert to contribute a piece of content to the product. This might be an article, a tip, or even the answers to a set of interview questions.

For example, maybe you’re creating a product about how new mothers can lose weight quickly and safely. You could ask 10 to 20 experts the best way to lose 10 pounds and keep it off. To create some variety in their answers, you could ask a variety of experts, such as personal trainers, dieticians, bodybuilders, aerobics instructors, doctors and more.

In return for providing an answer, you’ll give your contributors benefits such as:

Free exposure to your customers in the form of a byline and link at the end of their article
Free exposure by including links to their products and services on your website
100% commissions on any products they sell through their affiliate links

The idea is to be sure your partners get a big reward for a small investment of their time.

So now that you know three ways to create a product, the next question is this: what kind of product will you create?

Here’s a good place to start if you want to build a six-figure business:

Only 36 Hours Left To Get Product Launch Formula

If you’ve been following along with Jeff Walker’s once-a-year Product Launch Formula launch, then it’s coming down to the wire now.

Jeff just let his affiliates and JV partners know (I’m one of them) that he is are closing down PLF registrations on FRIDAY. It means this launch is officially into RESULTS time. And that’s because he knows the majority of sales are going to come in these last two days.

The lesson here is that your launch is going to be no different, as long as you follow his ‘Close Cart’ process, and include the correct mental triggers he shared in his pre-launch training to build your prospect’s desire for your product.

4 of the mental triggers coming into play now are:

Authority – Jeff has built plenty of authority with his pre-launch content
Liking – he’s just an all round nice guy, and through his content has proven he wants to help others
Scarcity – this is a very powerful factor because you can only get into PLF once each year, miss it and you have to wait
Urgency – there’s nothing more powerful than a time-certain deadline to prompt action

As Jeff told affiliates today, for his launch there’s going to be AT LEAST a million dollars in sales made during these last 2 days.

For your launch, the last couple of days also means it’s time to start messaging the closing scarcity to your people. When Jeff promotes a launch, he says he always doubles or triples his sales in the last 36 hours…

And as part of that final push into the close, he’s just released the “All Access Page” here – where you can get all the replays from 12+ hours of live masterclass lessons…

…and you’ll get the FULL replays. That’s all the entire 3+ hour lessons, including Q&A, the Case Studies, and even the “Super Secret Segment”.

By re-sharing YOUR pre-launch content with your prospects like this, you can significantly increase your sales during the close cart period, because it lets people go through your lessons again…

…and reinforces the all the reasons people should buy your course, and helps to answer any lingering questions they may have had that were stopping them from joining your program.

It’s very powerful…

You can get everything Jeff taught during his pre-launch on one page with no opt-in. You can access them here so you can see how he’s doing this and model it for your launch as well.

Hope these insights into how Jeff is using the ‘cart close’ sequence for his own launch of his flagship Product Launch Formula program help you to kick it out of the park when it’s your turn. You can get PLF 2019 here.

P.S. If you think the training from this launch was awesome, you’ll really love what Jeff has inside PLF. In addition to a completely new-for-2019 version of Product Launch Formula, Jeff has also added some really cool extra bonuses to the mix.

They include:

1. A full-blown course on how to build and profit from a list – this is his “Launching Your List” course.

2. A complete course on Product Creation that will take you from start to finish and get you your own products.

3. A full-out 3-day LIVE WORKSHOP with Jeff… this is a high-end in-person workshop led personally by Jeff. This is one of the most powerful events in the industry… you walk in with an idea, and you walk out with a launch plan.

Watch Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula Masterclass Again

OK so over the last 10 days, Jeff Walker has been releasing the pre-launch content for this year’s release of his flagship Product Launch Formula class.

If you’ve watched the 4 live sessions he’s shared so far, you’ll know they have included over 12 hours of some of the best content he’s ever released.

But if you missed one or more of those sessions, he’s just opened up an ‘all-access’ page where you can watch all of those replays for the next few days. You can watch the entire Launch Masterclass for free, with no opt-in required.

You can check out the all access page here.

Here’s The Lesson Jeff Walker Is Sharing Here

Giving people access to all of the pre-launch content again like this, without requiring them to opt in, is a powerful way to help people who may be on the fence to decide to join his Product Launch Formula program.

That’s because the more of his content people consume (and the more case studies they see within that content), the more likely they are to believe that his product launch strategies will work for them as well.

This is one of the secrets of PLF that’s hidden in plain sight… do everything you can to get people to engage with your pre-launch content as much as possible.

So on this page you’ll find more than 12 hours of content, including downloads, Q&A, the “super secret” sessions… and even the infamous “Squirrel Cam” that had viewers raving (you’ve gotta watch to get it).

Make sure you watch the Product Launch Masterclass here before it’s taken down in a couple of days time

“Will Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula Work For Me?”

Apparently throughout the Product Launch Masterclass, Jeff Walker has had quite a few questions from people asking about Product Launch Formula, and most of them are pretty much wondering whether it really works or not.

And the long and short of it is… yes it works.

But rather than talk about all the ways PLF could help you launch and grow your own business, how about I share a few success stories?

Jeff Noble:
Jeff teaches people about Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which are the leading cause of developmental disabilities. Even though he’s not a doctor or therapist, he’s used launches to turn his passion into a global mission, and now travels the world to teach people how to cope with this misunderstood health condition.

Thembi Bheka:
Thembi arrived in Canada with just $5 in her pocket, after leaving an abusive relationship in her native Zimbabwe. She knew nothing about online marketing when she discovered PLF, and launched her first course in just six months. Now she’s empowering women in Africa and teaching people about real estate investing. And she just celebrated her first six-figure launch!

Oonagh Duncan:
Oonagh runs a business called Fit Feels Good. She’d been making offers every month for more than a year to a dwindling list. She was starting to get worried about business sustainability when she came across PLF. Her most recent launch is on track to generate $94,000, and her clients are not only losing weight… they’re going out into the world and transforming their lives.

Mary Gilkerson:
Mary is a painter who decided to take her experience teaching college-level art and use it to create an online course. Before PLF, she brought in a pretty respectable $12,000… but after PLF, her launch brought in $54,000. Now Mary’s online art courses are consistently full, and she’s selling more of her own work than ever before. AND she’s using PLF to sell her paintings for up to $12,000 each!

Luis Carlos Flores:
Luis and his wife are psychotherapists who help Latin American parents become great parents. They put together their first launch in just 3 weeks, netting 130 new students in 10 days. Six-figure launches are now the norm, even though their Latin American market doesn’t usually buy online. But the best part is the daily thank you notes from happy clients…

Dylan Frost:
Dylan and his partners built a successful business selling physical products on Amazon. They developed a system for wholesaling products, and started teaching their method to other sellers. Using PLF, their first launch brought in $147,000 and each of the last four launches brought in more than $1 million. Dylan anticipates crossing the $10 million mark this year… all before his 30th birthday.

Susan Garrett:
Susan was already a successful business owner, traveling the world teaching people how to train their dogs. But her schedule was exhausting and unsustainable. When she bought PLF, she was hoping to make enough to pay it off before the credit card statement came in and her husband found out. Her first launch made $27,000… but she didn’t stop there. Susan now does million dollar launches (in her dog training niche, without JV partners).

Dr. Julie Helmrich:
Julie practiced psychology in a traditional setting. She wondered if she could take her mental health training online. Her first launch brought in $17,000 – and her second launch, three times that. An unexpected bonus? Her brick-and-mortar practice is stronger than ever.

Erik Solbakken:
Erik was not sure what he wanted to sell at first… but he knew he was ready for something different after 26 years as an accountant. He found a surprisingly hungry audience and did his first launch, bringing in $10,000 before even creating his product. In just 10 months after starting his online business, Erik made $220,000 in revenue (and is already planning his second launch).

Kara Andretta:
Kara helps cake decorators run successful home businesses. She had a blog that got lots of readers, but very little revenue. In her first launch, Kara more than doubled her list and made $91,000.

Kami McBride:
Kami started from scratch (two years ago she didn’t even have a cell phone), and she’s now done four PLF launches in the last year – and three of them have done more than $10,000 in sales…

Jason Miles:
Jason and his wife Cinnamon had a very small business selling doll clothes – then they used Product Launch Formula to multiply their results by 10x…

Bill O’Hanlon:
Bill had a very nice business – but it was unleveraged. He was traveling three or four times per month, and his lifestyle suffered from his grueling travel schedule. So he created an online course to give himself time freedom. That course made $5,000. Then he got PLF and did a $68,000 launch with the very same course… and he was just getting started.

Ross Grant:
Ross teaches actors about high performance… he had a blog, but he wasn’t making any money. In fact, he was losing money with his blog every month. Then he did a PLF launch and made $15,000 from a list of 180 people…

Stacey Murphy:
An urban farmer, Stacy was passionate about bringing healthy foods to the world. To expand her reach, she created an online course but couldn’t get much traction with her audience until she found PLF. Her first PLF launch brought in 3x the revenue of her solo launch. She doubled that with her second PLF launch, and her opt-ins have increased by an incredible 8,900%.

Barry Friedman:
Barry was a very successful entertainer. Then he had a mountain biking accident that left him unable to perform… and his business (and income) were dead in the water. Then he found PLF, and it changed everything in his business…

Tanya Charlotte Targett:
Tanya had a great income, but her business was unleveraged. She had to travel constantly – her health suffered and she was away from her daughter far too much. Then PLF transformed her business…

Troy Dean:
Troy had a successful membership site, but was frustrated because his business was stuck – and he couldn’t figure out how to grow it. Then he got PLF and put it to work – and four launches later he’s built his business to the seven-figure level…

Shelley Brander:
Shelley had a successful brick-and-mortar yarn store… but it suffered every year with the seasonal swings of the market. Then she went online with PLF, and it changed everything in her business (and her life)…

Debbie Arambula:
Debbie is the “Heart Artist” – she paints hearts, and she’s very successful at it. This is how she uses Product Launch Formula to sell her paintings and prints…

Nicholas Wilton:
Nicholas is a fine artist who has led offline workshops to teach people how to paint. Then he used PLF to bring his workshop online – he started from scratch and his first launch did over $400,000 in sales. And he followed that up with another launch that made around the same.

Des and Micheal O’Neill:
Des and Micheal have a business consulting practice with accountants in Ireland. Their first launch using Product Launch Formula did 180,000 Euros and completely transformed their business… and that’s just the start of their story.

As you can see, there’s a tone of proof that Product Launch Formula works in all sorts of markets.

Here’s The REAL Power Behind A Product Launch Formula Style ‘JV Launch’

There are a LOT of benefits in following the Product Launch Formula to run a big JV Launch.

First up, as long as you’ve tested your pre-launch content, your offer and the rest of your sales process (usually best done using a Seed Launch or an Internal Launch), you can make a hell of a LOT of money because you are leveraging the lists of a lot of other people who are all sending you their prospects and customers.

Then there are the great relationships you’ll build with other people in your market who supported you during the launch. Any way you look at it, helping people to make more money and grow their influence is always going to have a positive effect on your business too.

But there’s a third big benefit that most people don’t realise is the most powerful one of all.

It’s the big list you get to build during your JV Launch that creates much more value than the actual sales you make at the time.

Here’s why:

Let’s say your business is in the golf market, and your Launch is for a coaching program that helps amateur golfers take strokes off their game while improving their mental toughness.

If you play your cards right, you’ll have a bunch of JV partners driving traffic to your website, and all of those people will be added to YOUR email list.

When your launch is over, YOU get use that new, bigger list as a distribution channel to sell all kinds of other products and services and you get to keep ALL OF THE PROFIT on those sales.

That’s because once somebody has shown their interest by making a golf related purchase, they are far more likely to buy other products and services in that category than somebody who has never purchased a golf product.

And you use joint ventures with other vendors to get access to all of these other products.

Not sure if a Joint Venture 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.

Just think of the possibilities when combined with a Product Launch Formula inspired launch…

You could offer:

Additional training programs that add to and complement your own.
A set of new golf clubs and all kinds of accessories to help improve their game.
New golf shirts just like the pros wear on the PGA tour.
New covers for your woods and maybe even their irons.
Private or group lessons from a club or touring professional to improve their game even more.
You could team up with a travel agent and offer golfing tours and holidays so they can play at the best courses around the country or the world.
And of course there are all kinds of other products and services you could offer as well…

And you can earn a great commission or referral fee on every one of these additional sales you make, for as long as people stay subscribed to your email list.

That’s why the list you build during a JV launch is such a valuable asset, in addition to the immediate income you generate.

Here’s proof that this list building technique works

You’ll see a screen shot of the JV leaderboard in the lead generation contest for Jeff Walker’s Product Launch Formula launch. The people with red arrows next to their name have ALL recently completed launches of their own…

How To Do A Product Launch With No Product And No Email List

I started out online promoting a few different products as an affiliate, with one of them generating around 80% of my income (yeah, risky I know).

Anyhow, when that affiliate merchant made the gut wrenching (for me) decision to change the way they paid affiliates, they effectively destroyed my entire business model. That was when I decided I needed a little more control over my income, because I didn’t want to ever feel that way again.

After that experience, I started creating products of my own, and as you know, launching a product is much better than just opening up for business and hoping for the best.

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

During that Seed Launch I created a 4 week coaching program I could sell myself, and also offer to people who purchased a related affiliate product so they could get better results.

From a tiny list, I ended up with 39 students paying $37 each go through the launch with me.

So I made the princely sum of $1443 (a little less after Paypal fees) for 4 weeks of ‘work’ which worked out to be a total of around 12 hours writing email messages and relentlessly checking my sales figures 🙂

Not really a big deal (but man was I excited at the time).

But here’s the thing…

– The Seed Launch allowed me to get paid up front to create the product (so I knew there was demand before I spent any time or money on it)

– It was fun and I learned a lot about what customers really wanted and needed (doing what you enjoy while actually helping people is nice)

– It helped me to bond with people in my audience at a much deeper level (some of the people who went through the Seed Launch became raving fans and bought all kinds of other stuff from for years)

Plus…

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

And that (along with a small amount of personal email coaching) helped me to make thousands of dollars in affiliate commissions from that product every single month for more than 4 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.

Here’s just 3 ideas:

– If you sell any kind of physical product, you could do a Seed Launch to create a digital product or training course that helps your customers get more out of the things they buy from you, and give it away as a bonus to increase your product’s value and stand out from your competitors

– If you sell a professional service, you could create a coaching series that helps your clients get much more out of your services and sell it or give it away

– If you sell any kind of coaching, training or education, you could take your clients and students through a Seed Launch to get a deeper understanding of their needs, goals and desires, and come out with an entire new suite of programs you could offer to people in the future (or use as bonuses for your existing stuff)
