The “Double Reverse” Launch: How One Month made $15,000 in 24 hours
9th grade.
That was when I took my first programming class.
14 year old Bryan was bored out of his mind and retained exactly ZERO knowledge from that class.
Then 2 years ago when I decided to make my first web app I immediately regretted not paying attention. I had to hire a developer that could build it for me.
That cost $2,000. Ugh.
Over the last 2 weeks, you’ve been learning about launch sequences. If you’re like me and haven’t been paying close attention, consider this your $2,000 moment.
STOP WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND PAY ATTENTION.
Today we’re taking a look at a launch sequence put together by One Month.
One Month is a small startup that trains programmers with 30-day focused courses. Their flagship program is One Month Rails. Naturally they charge for these courses and they do extremely well with the model.
A few weeks ago I noticed they were launch a new program called One Month Stripe. So, I started paying attention to HOW they were launching it.
Check out their email sequence.
I jumped on the horn with their head of marketing the morning after the launch and we broke down the entire process.
Today you are getting two things:
- Full breakdown of the One Month Strip Launch. Including emails and analysis.
- Behind the scenes interview with the One Month head of marketing.
Ready to go?
Oh!
One thing I forgot to tell you. Remember how Nathan Barry made $16,000 in 72 hours?
One Month did $15,000 in 24 hours with this launch.
Lets jump in.
Nathan Barry’s Launch Sequence that Generated $16,000 in 72 hours
What’s the point of building an email list?
I like y’all and all that, but at the end of the day, a boy’s gotta eat. Know what I mean?
Money.
It’s taboo to talk about for some reason. But the only way to know if your content and product are worth a crap is if people will pay you for it.
That’s where launch sequences come in.
One Made $43,380 and the Other Lost $1,385.
Two years ago I built my first piece of software: an iOS app called Ad-Quiz. My partner and I spent $2,000 on it and one other app.
We built them, tested them, spent a bunch of money and time. Then…
Crickets.
Nothing.
We made $615 of our $2,000 back. We had no plan on how to get people to buy.
Fast forward two years.
I decided this past March to launch a coaching program. I’d learned my lesson, though., and knew that I had to have a plan in place. So I wrote a series of emails that led up to the launch of the program.
The program sold out in 2 hours.
Then I doubled the price and restarted the sequence to a new segment of the list.
It sold out again. It sells out in minutes every time I have new spots available.
Is that because I’m awesome? No.
It’s because I use an effective launch sequence.
Today, I want to share with you a tested and proven launch sequence that you can use to launch your next product.
