What if... we matched our bonuses to our products?
The main offer was a diet book. The bonus was a "make money" book.
Of course we all know what happened. Right before this marketer launched his product, he realized that people say you should toss in a bonus. But the marketer was tired. He'd been banging out this product for weeks. So he couldn't be bothered to create another product.
His solution? Tap into the gold mine of resell rights products he had sitting on his hard drive.
Except...
There weren't any diet books on his HD. No matter. He'll just use a "make money" product as a bonus, because everyone wants to make more money.
Well, it didn't quite work. IMO, it just cheapened the whole offer. And it caused a "speed bump" in the sales letter (which is never a good thing), because I'm sure I'm not the only reader who wondered what a MMO book was doing on a diet sales page.
So here's the point -- whether you're offering a bonus or an upsell, you'll have better results if:
1. The bonus or upsell is targeted -- that is, it appeals to same niche market.
2. The bonus or upsell compliments or enhances the original purchase.

Examples...
Example 1:
Diet book + MMO book = crap.
Diet book + recipe book = me likey.
Example 2:
Copywriting book + traffic generation book = eh. So so.
Copywriting book + writing great headlines book = much more targeted.
Example 3:
Burger + drink + upsell offer of a cat collar with a bell = huh?
Burger + drink + offer of "do you want fries with that?" = Yes, please!
***
Again, offer bonuses or upsells that enhance and compliment the main offer. That means your bonus/upsell shouldn't be an after thought -- you should be planning it at the same time you plan your main product.
Cheers,
Becky
P.S. This seems like a "common sense" item, but I've seen it so many times lately that I thought I'd throw out this common sense reminder.
