Happy Saturday!
It’s the first day of a long weekend here in Central Ontario and so far the weather seems to be cooperating. I went downstairs this morning as soon as the diner opened and grabbed a coffee, just so I could have the excuse to sit outside and soak up the morning sun for a few minutes!
My Birthday Sale will start tomorrow (Sunday, July 31) and run through Friday, August 5 (my actual birthday). I’m missing my big bundle sale which would have started yesterday, but I hope you like what I’ve come up with for you instead…
Here’s what I have for you this morning…
Saturday Soapbox: The One About Meaningless Bonuses
I have made the decision that as of August 1, the “choose your own bonus” system will be going away. Quite frankly I am very tired of participating in crazy bonus wars that are going on in our space right now. I would prefer to give away meaningful bonuses for products that I really want to showcase, rather than to keep making more and more bonus products and attaching them to almost everything in my newsletters.
Yes, I know that bonuses work. But, I think there is a component of this niche that take the bonus-giving to such a level that it almost becomes meaningless. I honestly don’t know how else to say it… Last night when I was putting together my birthday sale and looking at all the products in my cart, the bonus products really caught my eye because a) there are so many of them and b) the fact that there are so many of them makes them feel meaningless to me. And I created them!
Am I angry about it?
No, not at all.
Am I sad about it?
Yes, very sad. Partly because of the way our niche is going (which I’ve talked about before), and partly because I had something to do with it. Because as I was making my tea last night, the thought hit me that all of these choose your own bonus pages are really disrespectful to our customers. And for that I deeply and humbly apologize.
Here’s my thinking on this. Yes, it’s nice to have a selection of ready made bonuses for when you don’t have time to put something specific together. But when you do it day in and day out, and you have 10 promotions in your newsletter and offer a bonus choice for every single one of them what you’re really saying to your customers is that you don’t really care enough to take the time to create a bonus that they might find useful and that will compliment the product you want them to purchase!
So, going forward I am going to clean up my little corner of the low-content PLR niche by getting rid of the mass bonus system and going back to the way I think bonuses were intended to work.
It’s really all I can do. Other people are going to do what they’re going to do, but this past two weeks has shown me that I have to do what’s right for me, not what everyone else in the zoo is doing. If that makes me an outlier, that’s fine. At least I can sleep at night.
Stepping off the soapbox…
And now, here are your deals for the day…
Top Picks So Far This Week
Pick #1 – The First Ever Resell Rights Bundle from White Label Perks (Plus Custom Bonus Training)
When I was running my personal development blog a few years ago, one of my favorite content providers was White Label Perks. So when I found out that Kelly, Sam, and Avery were bringing back 42 previously retired products and offering them up with Resell PLR rights, I was on their virtual doorstep to grab my copies!
This content is perfect for creating blog content, content upgrades, printables to sell, podcast episodes and more. And since you can sell it as PLR too, that gives you even more options for using it. My Amp Up Your List Building workshop coming next week that is focused on content upgrades, and I’ll be sharing a couple of examples of how to use this content for that purpose on the call.
And I decided that for a bonus if you buy through my link below, I will do a repurposing training to share how I rework some of these products into something unique that can be sold both to end users and as PLR. I’ve been going through all of the content and organizing it as to how I want to use it, and have come up with some really good ideas… at least I think they’re good.
