Making up to $2500/month - should I sell my method?

Hi warriors,

I have a "problem". I make between $1000 and $2500 per month on autopilot with video marketing.

I haven 't build a list yet from my prospects and customers and that's what I would like to do in the near future.

At the moment I am creating a video marketing product, showing all the techniques I ranked my videos in the past and keep them up on google and build a list of prospects and buyers.

I am ok with this and I do not fear any competition.

But I would like to design a high ticket upsale,showing my customers the exact resources I am using atm.

I outranked a lot of my competitors already, so it might be a bad idea to show some prospects my secrets? What should the price tag be?

Would like to get some input from you guys.

Regards

Rene

    I show my exact method, step by step. Click by click. I'm not worried about competetion either.

    Here's why - I am promosing them that I will show them exactly what I do. So I make good on my promise. Yes. I am creating competetion for myself. But if someone can beat me at my own game...good for them. It means I've taught them well.

      Hi Drew!

      Thanks for your answer.

      Not afraid of any competition?

      In my case it's not about the techniques, but I guess I have a problem reveiling my niche and the Ressources...hmm

      I am just thinking about increasing my reputation (cause I am a noname in the biz) and probably decreasing my income.

        Like Alex, I'm a bit confused as well.

        You mentioned...

        I would like to design a high ticket upsale,showing my customers the exact resources I am using atm.
        But then later...

        In my case it's not about the techniques, but I guess I have a problem reveiling my niche and the Ressources...hmm
        I'm not trying to nitpick your words, but was is your bottom line question?

        A recommended price on your OTO? I'm afraid anyone who offers a suggestion would only be offering a blind, arbitrary, stab in the dark answer. $47 is a common OTO price point though, but in large part it depends on your offer. If you're looking for a "high ticket" up-sell, perhaps you're thinking more along the lines of coaching, which is a viable option if you can convert.

        Here's one glaring issue though... If you want that up-sell to showcase to your customers the "exact resources" you're using at the moment, yet you "have a problem revealing your niche and resources", then you don't really have an OTO at all.

        In that case perhaps you're better served focusing on a FE product first. After all, step 6 doesn't do you much good if you haven't completed steps 3 or 4 or 5, you know?

        The last thing I'd say is this... I'm glad your method is working so well for you. Without even knowing it though, I doubt though your method is as "secret" as you might think.

        Best of luck though,
        Derek

    In one hand, you are saying that you haven't yet started to build a list - then, in the very next sentence you start talking about your list of prospects and buyers from Google...

    THEN, you say that you don't fear any competition from revealing your methods, but you seem to be concerned about revealing your 'secrets' right in the very next sentence...

    You seem to be contradicting yourself multiple times within the span of a few paragraphs...

    Anyway, there is one Warrior, Joshua Zamora, who ranks Youtube videos and has a course about it, which is very good by the way.

    He not only shows HOW he does it, but also shows his exact niches and Keywords and Videos. He has no fear because he knows that if someone overtakes him or gets his videos pulled, he can just do the very same thing again.

      Hi Alex,

      Thanks for your opinion.

      I know Josh, he is great in everything he does.

      Due to my business I have customers but I haven't build list. They make ne money once..thats it.

      That depends on my niche...its not the mmo niche.

      And yes, I fear competition because it is not well known to this scene.

    I give away my niche in my sales letter. Then I give away my offer, keywords, targeting, and show step by step how to set everything up in the guide. The only thing I dont do is create their website and write their ads...though I tell them how.

    Sure, you will make a lot of money with a WSO if your method actually does this, and you actually write it step by step.

    However, you must realize and be certain you are fine with competition. People will copy EXACTLY what yo say int he guide and it can take away from your earnings, even if you think it did not.

    Just remember that, or show an example in a niche you do not use.

    video vantage just came out. you can check out what they did.

    Offer = Video Marketing Software
    Upsell = Video Marketing Course
    Upsell #2 = Mastermind group

    Maybe you can upsell one of your youtube channels.

    If you have a method that works and it will not impact on you by getting saturated then I would say go ahead and release a WSO on the subject.
    Having diverse income streams is always advisable in my opinion.
    You could always offer a coaching program to you list as a higher end product as Derek mentioned.

      It's not about ranking. I purchased video vantange and every WSO Josh is lauching. It' s about the resources... I know almost everything about ranking every freaking video

      ..bur I missed building a list.

      My question was...

      ...is it better to give away my "secret for almost free and step out of the "dark"
      as a marketer....


      ....or just make some money in the short run...

        This may sound cheesy, but it's true... the thing about the short run, is it runs out soon. Think long term. What would be best for you in the long haul?

        Best,

    1). Think much more about the longer term sustainability of your income.

    2). Don't worry about competition. 99% of people that buy your course won't do anything anyway. The ones that do, good for them.

      I totally agree on the competition angle. Even the few people who try and work your system will probably quit after they don't make money in the first 10 minutes.

      Anyway releasing a WSO is definitely a good way to start building a list of buyers

      Yep, l did a video ranking course a while ago!


      It turned out to be a total scam!


      I know that some videos do rank well, so l am not rubbishing everything, but l am reluctant to try another one!


      Like l know that contacting TY videos, that don't have any affiliate links, and asking if you can put yours there for a percentage of the profits works, just don't like the idea of contacting a stranger, or kid and asking permission!

      Most IM'ers like to live in caves, so you might get relatively high refund rates if it is along the "out of your confort zone type offer!

      That is the reason, offline is so profitable, because a lot of IM'ers, would rather stay online only!

    Number 1 rule of the game...NEVER reveal your sources to your customers, or any body else for that matter.

    What you are proposing has no longevity whatsoever.

    Why would a customer pay some middleman(that's you) when they can just go directly to the same resource you were gonna use.

    What youve conjured up is called business suicide.

    Furthermore...not being afraid of some competition ...is not an advantageous or productive frame of mind to be in.....you must always fear it to be motivated to stay one step ahead of it.

    You have greater opportunity for higher paychecks and sustainability over a much longer period if YOU control as much of the process as possible, for every single entity has any connection to your system whether they are white labeling it from you or are the retail end recipient. Make every body downstream have to go through you.

    Good luck
