Easy, Easy Way to Make Extra Money

"Do you want fries with that?"

It's a simple thing that is often overlooked.

Yes, it's an upsell, but it's not a big upsell.

Often, it's a no-brainer, if done right.

Here's what I do on some of my sites where I employ this method.

I have a simple question, "Do you want fries with that?" and a simple button they click for "Yes." That's it. No obnoxious pop-up. No extra sales page. Nothing. It's just an easy and smooth part of the checkout process. If they don't want to pay for anything beyond the product they are buying, they do nothing. If they want the extra product, they click a button.

Simple.

And it doesn't annoy people.

The important thing is that it is something that goes hand-in-hand with your main product. Something they don't necessarily have to buy right then and there, but something that they might as well get while they're getting the main product.

So, say you charge $7 for an eBook on fishing. Would they like to add an eBook on tying flies for $2? If they do, that's an extra two bucks you get without any additional work. (Not counting any work you put into creating the extra eBook, that is. But it could be a special report or outsourced or whatnot.)

And, you can still catch them later for your backend products and whatnot but, for now, you turned a $7 sale into a $9 sale. If only 20% of people go for it, out of 100 sales, that's an extra $40 for very little effort.

Or, if you have a $17 product and a $5 extra, that's an extra $100 for very little effort.

If you have a good match, though, you'll possibly find that a lot more than 20% of people really would like fries with that.
