10 Upsell ideas? I need suggestions Please...!

I guess you would have to research on what your target market is looking for and then accordingly fit an up sell item that provides value..

Google around and see if you can find the offer page for Paul Myers' "Thud Report", a severely under-priced report that is exactly what you are looking for.

ok there are many upsells. But if you have a ebook. Do you mind sharing your niche? If not, make some social network or something. Make the customer feel important. Then charge them 4.95 per month. Another upsell is using the decoy, to make as if it was a deal.

If you are selling an ebook, maybe you can come a bit closer to actually taking action for your customer in the upsell.

Edit: It would be easier if we knew what your ebook is about.

Not knowing what your ebook is about, it's hard to say if this would work for you, but an irresistible upsell is something that would make doing whatever you are describing in your book easier.

So, if you have an ebook on article marketing, you might try article submitter software as an upsell, or another book with 100 Best selling headlines

If it describes a technique, you could upsell them the videos that show them exactly what to do.

You could even try upselling a service, but only if it was something you could outsource or do yourself and make a profit from. Outsourcing, is ideal of course because trying to do that yourself could cause a bottle neck. OF course, running a service could be problematic, so maybe this isn't the best idea.

As you know what you present as an upsell needs to offer your prospect additional value to what they have already purchased. It should help them do what they bought better or more efficiently. You could offer software, a physical or downloadable product depending on your niche, or a monthly guide or newsletter with reoccuring billing.

I agree that you should research your market, and determine what they are wanting and are needing. It will certainly help you to come up with some ideas for a backend product, however, if you do not know what type of products you could offer... Then, you will just be saying, "Okay, I have already done a book -- digital and hard copy. What else can I offer?"

Here are a few types of products you could offer your customer base:
1. eBook
2. instructional videos
3. Hard copies of the above
4. Audio versions of the above

So far so good. That's pretty much what you expect, and already know about.

How about also offering:

5. Live Webinar
6. Live Teleseminar
7. Live Event at a physical place
8. Recordings of the above

Now we are getting somewhere! The above are some additional types of products you could offer which garner a higher perceived value (because they are). But, you can offer more!

How about access to you personally?

9. Access to priority support (your personal email and phone number)
10. Coaching program -- Mentorship program
11. Mastermind group

So far we have covered the most common type of products you could offer. You could also go "social" with your product.

12. Membership program (daily, weekly, monthly content)
13. Premium Forum Access

I heard some say a paid newsletter... This is another you could do. I have bought into several paid newsletters BECAUSE they offer extreme value. It could be a digital newsletter or a physical newsletter.

But, the newsletters I bought and signed up to were truly short reports in disguise. Highly valuable content!

You could offer software to overcome the technical difficulties of your non-technical customer base... Or, software that makes the task you are selling easier.

There are SO many things you could offer your customer base, but it all boils down to two factors:

1. Do they want or need it?
2. Is it relevant to your frontend product?

Answer those two questions, then, determine the type of product you want to deliver that need in. Take a gander at the types I mentioned, and see if you find one that meets your needs... But, I only skimmed the surface of the types of products you could offer on the backend.

There are literally hundreds of possibilities here and I realize you're probably just searching for ideas but I would like to add one thing to think about, a tangent if you will...

Be careful how many of these you add to this (or any) product. Based on my research (and I've been doing it a while now), customers are growing very tired of this approach. If it's employed too many times within a single product sale they begin to distrust the product owner and it may even push them away from making future purchases from that product owner.

Just food for thought...

I agree with John. Also, if you give too much you embark on the realm of information overload, and that, too, will scare some people off.

Give a little value with your first product... Capture them as a valued paying customer... Sell to them again in the future.

I would suggest building a list as well like john says dont try to do it all on the first rodeo
