Would You Pay $1000 For This!?

Hey Warriors...

I have been thinking lately about value and how to best deliver all that your buyer expects and more. Most of my online income doesn't rely on selling at all, so I don't think about this too often.

Anyway, what I am wondering is this: What would you pay $1000 for right now?

I don't mean "If you had a $1000 would you buy X or Y?" I mean, if this product/service/etc came along, you would spend $1000 on it instantly.

Now, if you don't have $1000 to spend - perfect! What would make you beg, borrow or work for it to get it?

What do you say?

Mike

PS: Now, I am sure we all would buy a brand new 5000 sqft house for $1000 if it became available, but I am not looking for answers like that. (sorry all you jokers! :p)

  • Mike,

    For my money you already stated the best answer:

    "Most of my online income doesn't rely on selling at all"

    How do you manage THAT?

    God bless,

    • Fair enough, Andy!

      I should make that a bit more clear: I generally do not sell products/services to the users that visit my websites. I mostly rely on advertising revenue.

      Obviously, there is persuasion and good marketing involved, just not selling directly to others.

      Hope that clears it up a bit!

      Now, back to the question. Anyone else have some thoughts on this one yet?

  • I would want a complete "business in a box". Perhaps a package that included...

    * The creation of a handful of niche websites and several quality SEO'd "review" articles for each site, with affiliate links to quality products
    * Several extra articles and manual submission to article directories, blogs, etc., all pointing back to the niche sites
    * Some social networking
    * Maybe a good autoresponder series for each of the niche sites
    * And if I have any money left, a good video or 2 and manual submission to the top video sharing sites

    I would definitely pay $1000 for something like that, if it was from a trusted source.

    That's just the first thing that came to mind. I'm sure I could think of several ways to spend a grand ( - :

    • Couldn't have said it better. On a related note, just how many IM products are out there of which you are aware that cost at least $1k? Are they selling?

    • What is this, a setup? Thanks, Mike and Brandon

  • HI Mike,
    First I'd double check to make sure you had a *real product* -- not just rehashed information that one can find for free.

    Then you might be able to take me to the next step...

    • Interesting point. But, isn't all information somewhat rehashed and available for free somewhere else? I think we often pay for this "free" information being packaged nicely for us in an easy-to-digest fashion.

      The thing that interests me most about your comment though is that you are the first person to really mention a "product" in this thread.

      As well all know, there are "home-study" courses and such out there that sell for $1000+, but no one has really mentioned them in this thread as something they would pay $1000 for. Why do you think that is?

      Personally, I think that most of us would not think of these "courses" as something we want to spend our money on. We get *sold* on them, yes, but that is not the same thing...

      Thoughts?

      Mike

  • Smart guy Mike, I wanted to start that tread. But thanks, good info here!

    • Sorry Mike, I forgot to answer your question...

      I would pay $1000 for something that was going to generate me $1001.

  • Im not sure if this answers your question or not..


    I just spent $3k in an instant.. (well acutally a depost on this product and then a another 1/2 as the project developed., so Ive paid close to 2 3rds already)


    why? the quality of the example product I was shown just blew me away..

    Plus I had excellent personal contact with the owner of the company.

    So I have confidence in the product to be created, plus confidence in the person delivering it..

    • All the coregistration sources on the Internet tested, with test results and proof of profits from mailing to them.

      Now THAT's one that hasn't been done. I will be a member if a reputable marketer can do something like that.

  • I'd pay $1,000 and a lot more for advertising and targeted traffic.

    I'd also pay lots of money to have someone recruit super affiliates to promote my products.

      Love the question... Here's a thought.

      There's a new commercial on TV in Canada. Where this guy walks into a corner store and sees a Jar of shiny 'Lucky' pennies with a sign on the outside that says $1 each.

      The customer says to the owner what makes them so lucky... The owner says their lucky because the customer found them in his store. The customer relents and buys one anyways.

      Then he turns around and bumps into a hot looking babe of the opposite sex. They drop their magazines... The magazines are the same tropical bird issue and I guess the relationship is off and running.

      Then the store owner takes a marker and scratches off the $1 symbol and overwrites a $2 on the same jar of pennies.

      Moral of the story... People buy things that have a story attached.

      The more prolific the story the more perceived value.

      Cheers,

      Rob
