# Conversion rates for info product creators

> Info products (eBooks, templates, swipe files) live on launch traffic and email economics. Healthy sales-page conversion 2 to 6% on launch week, dropping to 0.3 to 1.5% in steady state. Refund rate 3 to 8%. The launch is the peak; the email list is what compounds over months.

## Funnel-stage directional ranges

All ranges are directional. They depend on traffic source, price point, audience warmth, and cohort tightness.

### Cold sales page → purchase (launch)

**Directional range.** 2% to 6%

Launch traffic from your email list and engaged audience. Below 2% means hook or offer is broken. Above 6% means tight audience-product fit.

### Cold sales page → purchase (steady state)

**Directional range.** 0.3% to 1.5%

Post-launch organic traffic. Always lower than launch traffic. Below 0.3% means the page can't sell without warm context; above 1.5% means strong evergreen positioning.

### Email open rate (launch)

**Directional range.** 30% to 50%

Below 30% is a deliverability or sender-name issue. Above 50% usually means small, tightly-engaged list.

### Refund rate

**Directional range.** 3% to 8%

Healthy info product refund rate. Below 3% means barely-engaged buyers; above 8% means sales page over-promised relative to delivery.

## What good looks like

$2K to $20K per launch with 1K to 10K engaged subscribers. Refund rate under 6%. Email list growing 5%+ month-over-month from organic.

## What broken looks like

Sub-$1K launches, refund rate over 10%, email list flat. Either Wrong Person traffic or the offer doesn't compound across launches.

## Most common Brunson diagnosis

When info product creators hit the diagnostic with flat numbers, the most-common label that comes back is **Weak Offer**. That doesn't mean every flat-rate cohort lands there – it's a directional prior worth checking first.

## Questions founders ask

### Why are my launches not getting bigger over time?

Each launch should compound the previous one. If they're flat, the value ladder is broken: launches don't seed the next product's audience. Brunson Hard-Rule: every launch builds the next one's email list.

### Should I sell on Gumroad, Stan, or my own checkout?

Platform-agnostic for the offer's mechanics. The choice depends on tax handling and audience expectation. Gumroad and Stan handle EU VAT/tax automatically; own-checkout requires more setup but is the long-term play.

### How big does my email list need to be to launch?

1,000 engaged subscribers is enough for $1K to $5K launches. 10,000 engaged subscribers supports $10K to $100K launches. Engagement matters more than size – a 1,000-person engaged list outperforms a 10,000-person disengaged one.
