How many OTO's are too many?

What were the price of the original product, price of OTO 1, price of OTO 2, andprice of Downsell.

I agree with Fergal - two is ok, three is a bit too much, unless it is something that really complements the product.
Anything over is just annoying!

I'm sure I could manage to.
In the cases where the price of product keeps reducing every time I try to leave the page, makes me wonder if they will start offering 'Me' money at some point, just to look at the offer. Never happens.

They annoy people,but they work for some of the visitors, and that some is enough to make Frank more $$.

President of the internet? Lol That made me laugh

He's good but let's not idolize people here.

I've seen funnels that interlaced 4 solid OTO's together; the first offer was coaching with the marketer (it was actually a team of guys), second was downsell on coaching, third was an upgrade on the product that was initially opt-in for, and fourth was a full done-for-you upgrade on the on the opt-in offer.

It didn't feel too bad, but I can see how some might say it can get a little much. This funnel converted on average of about 12 - 25 % by the way. So there is methodology to the madness and it's done for a reason.

I personally say it's all about presentation. You can have just one OTO and if it's not congruent to the presell...well that's just annoying lol

On average I can see a solid two step OTO funnel converting at a decent rate: initial OTO then downsell. Most often a good upsell/downsell funnel can convert at 3 - 5%, maybe more if the presentation is snazzy.

We're in world where presentation matters people. Provide value and make sure that value is super hyper evident from your sales copy (having hyped up sales copy can be effective but is controversial in some ways).

hello frnds

Hitting the space bar hard a few good times gets me to the bottom of the page after a purchase, without scrolling, so that I can skip the content on the page and click to the next page and do it all over again. Most times, you can simply skip these upsell pages or shut your browser tab, as your actual download will be emailed to you, rather than just included on the final page (after all the upsell/downsells). A lot of frustration could be saved if more people remembered that.

I prefer to look the product over before I think about purchasing the resale (or PLR) rights. Therefore, I don't like the "this is the only time you'll see this offer" type pitch. I'd like to be able to come back and purchase later. That's a good message/reminder to put in a follow-up email series.

I am, too. Which makes it hard to give a reasoned answer. They are not the same. OTO stands for One Time Offer, be it upsell, downsell or add-on. It means that a particular offer is only made once, and turning it down means it's gone forever.

Kind of like the observation that all Chinese are Asian, but not all Asians are Chinese.

If I turn down an offer, a single downsell makes sense, unless it's a straight discount. That kind of offer reeks of desperation, and gets my BS meter buzzing.

If I accept an offer, one attempt at either an upsell or add-on is fine. If I turn that down, hitting me with a final attempt using the opposite offer (add-on if I turn down the upsell and vice versa) is acceptable if it makes sense.

More than that, and I'm very likely to cancel the whole deal and go see if some joker wrote "Sucker" on my forehead...
