Today is another episode of Q&A Thursdays. We’re here to answer your questions. If you have one, leave a comment below, and we may answer it in next week’s episode. So Adam, what’s this week’s question?
This one is from Dipak. It says, hey Neil, thanks for making this awesome video. Would you like to make one video about product launches? Like pros and cons during the launch process?
The first thing you need to know when you’re doing a product launch is that you need to have a platform that allows you not only to sell the product but to deliver the product. A simple way to sell the product is using click funnels. A simple way to deliver the product is using Kajabi.
Kajabi allows you to deliver a course to people once they buy.
Click Funnels allows you to optimize the funnels so you can get more purchases and sales.
Technically, Kajabi can do all of that. But I prefer Click Funnels on the front end, and I love using Kajabi on the back end to deliver the course, drip people the content over time.
Now that you got the software solutions, what you want to do is create a web page with the offering for your product launch.
Use Click Funnels to create a video talking about your product, the price points, what they’re going to get for it, and you can just create a script.
Create a little quick intro video on Click Funnels. You can do this on your iPhone.
You say in this intro video, hey everyone, wanna learn how to grow your YouTube channel? Register for this webinar. I’m going to show you 11 secrets on how to grow your YouTube channel.
Once they register, you have a PowerPoint presentation. The PowerPoint presentation is going to be around 45 minutes to an hour.
The first 30 minutes you’re going to educate them on all these cool crazy YouTube tactics. Don’t charge for it. Just give away all the information for free.
After you do that, you said, hey, now that you’ve learned everything, do you want to hear a simpler way to grow your YouTube channel?
I showed you all the ways that you can do it on your own, but would you like to learn some of the hacks that I use that speed up the process so that way you don’t have to take seven, eight months to get results and you could get results in three months?
Usually, people say yes.
Then you hook them with a special offer. Normally, if I did one on one YouTube consulting and you went to people in person, you’re going to charge five figures.
You would end by saying, but, if you want to do this, I have a special offer for you, you can get it now for whatever price.
Once you have people are saying yes, yes, yes. Then what you want to do is send them to a page where they can check out. You can do this all on Click Funnels.
You can also do this live. You host a live webinar once a month, or you can make an evergreen webinar. If you want to make an evergreen webinar, webinar jam has software called everwebinar.
Once you’ve completed those steps, you can drive traffic to your product launch using YouTube ads or Facebook ads. Facebook ads tend to convert better than YouTube ads.
The other strategy for a product launch is to go to all the popular bloggers in your space, contact them and offer to give them 30, 40, 50% of every single sale you drive.
Do a joint webinar with them. They’ll push your product, and you can generate sales.
ConvertKit does a wonderful job of this. Their revenue figures are public. They’re doing over ten million a year in revenue. Most of their revenue is driven by affiliates and launches.
Another product launch tip is to contact all of the people who clicked on your check out page but didn’t buy.
You re-market to them with the YouTube and Facebook video that breaks in with what they would get if they purchase. Send them back to the check out page. You’ll notice it will be your highest converting ad campaign. That’s what we did. It has worked amazingly well. It still works.
If you have questions about how to create a product launch, leave a comment below.
We’ll help you with your product launches. I’ll be there, I’ll respond to every single one.
As always, if you have a question that you’d like to have answered in a Q&A Thursday video, leave a question below in the comments.
I look forward to seeing you guys next week.
