Even If You Have NO list And NO Product, Creating A Profitable Launch Is NO Problem

If you’ve been worried about starting a business but you have no product or no email list to launch it to, then there is hope by creating a profitable launch using the PLF process.

Jeff Walker (the guy who invented the online product launch) has released the latest version of his video training on how to create a “Seed launch”… and how you can use a Seed Launch to create an new business from scratch – starting with no list and no product.

You can check the video out here.

He also shows you how he used “Launch Stacking” to go from a sty-at-home-dad (with $400 per year in disposable income) to his first million dollars in sales. It’s a really inspiring story.

And the amazing thing is this strategy will work with almost ANY type of business.

This video is all pure content… the only “catch” is you need to opt-in to get it, but make sure you do – it’s totally worth it.)

Warm regards,

Rocky

P.S. This is actually part of a full-out “Launch Workshop” that Jeff is putting on for free right now. You can get the entire Workshop for free at this link.

The Fastest Way To Build A List Of Targeted Prospects Without Paying For Traffic Up Front

As Frank Kern says on his website’s home page (screen shot below), “The Most Dependable And Consistent Way To Generate Wealth Is To Turn Advertising Into Profit.”

Frank Kern Home Page

This is so true, and if you can develop an offer that allows you to generate a large number of leads while breaking even or make a small profit on the front-end, you have the opportunity to create an extremely profitable business by monetising the back-end.

For many small businesses, the problem is coming up with an advertising campaign that can do that after factoring in all of your customer acquisition costs.

One proven way (although obviously it’s not suited to every business) is to do a product launch.

Here’s why…

1. When you launch a new product or service using techniques such as email sequences and video, you create an enormous amount of buzz, authority, and social proof for you and your business.

And by turning the release of your product or service into an Event like this, you are also benefiting from a range of powerful mental triggers including:

  • Reciprocity
  • Anticipation
  • Proof
  • Community
  • Interaction and conversation
  • Scarcity

2. By recruiting JV partners and affiliates to send you traffic, you only pay a commission for sales after your affiliates have made them. You usually don’t pay for all the leads you generate (more on this below).

Of course you’ll have to do some preliminary testing to make sure your launch is going to convert for your affiliates. This is where a Seed Launch and an Internal Launch will set the scene for a profitable JV or partner launch.

A Seed Launch only requires a very small email database to succeed, and allows you to get paid to create an information product that contains the exact training and insights the people in your market want to buy (because they helped you to create it).

And an Internal Launch lets you create your pre-launch content, develop a killer offer, and test your systems in a low risk environment (your prospects and customers will be more forgiving of minor mistakes you might make).

Once you’ve developed your product and tested your systems using your existing email database of prospects and customers,, you can confidently roll out your JV launch with selected partners.

3. A product launch allows you to do a massive list-build of targeted prospects who can buy from you again in the future.

Your JV partners all mail their email lists and send their subscribers to your optin page so you can send your pre-launch content to their people.

You get to keep this list of prospects after the launch is over, and that means you can go from a few hundred or a few thousand people on your personal list, to potentially tens or hundreds of thousands of people in a very short period of time.

Here’s an example from a recent launch of how Peter Diamandis generated over $430,000 in sales, 46,000 new leads, and 18,350 books sold (here’s a link to the article).

Product Launch Sales Funnel

Want some proof that this list building technique works?

In Jeff’s recent PLF launch, the JV leaderboard for the lead generation contest was dominated by people who had ALL recently completed launches of their own…

In fact SIX of the top 11 people on Jeff’s JV Leaderboard had recently launched their own products, and are now using the lists they built during those launches to participate in and dominate a completely different launch for somebody else’s product.

How cool is that?

Can you imagine doing this for yourself?

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.

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
