Who this checklist is for
Your eBook or template pack is done, the launch traffic bumped, sales now trickle. This checklist is the next 14 days.
The 10 ordered moves
Rewrite the sales page hero as the transformation
Foundation1 hr'The complete guide to email marketing' is description. 'Send your first revenue-generating email in 90 minutes, with no list' is transformation. The reader has to picture the after-state in 4 seconds. Info products fail at the headline more often than at the content.
Name one specific cohort in the H1
Foundation30 min'For marketers' is everyone. 'For freelance copywriters with 0–1K subscribers' is a position. Pick the smallest cohort with real demand and write the page to them. Wrong Person traffic is the #1 reason info products plateau post-launch.
Build the Stack Slide on the sales page
Offer2 hrsList every component of the product: main asset, templates, swipe files, bonus videos, community access, lifetime updates. Dollar-anchor each. Total at 5x list price. Without a Stack, the $27 price looks expensive; with a Stack, it looks like a discount.
Add the conditional money-back guarantee
Offer30 min'If you haven't shipped your first revenue-generating email in 30 days, full refund plus you keep the swipe file.' Specific, dated, falsifiable. The conditional version lifts conversion 15–30% over unconditional.
Collect five dated specific testimonials
Proof4 hrsEmail 20 past buyers. Ask for a 100-word dated testimonial with one specific outcome. 'I shipped my first $1,200 newsletter sponsorship on 2026-03-12 after using your template pack' beats 'great resource!'. Five dated specifics beats fifty vague.
Design the three-rung value ladder
Offer3 hrs$27 tripwire (the eBook). $97–$297 core (a template + community + workshop bundle). $497–$1,997 back-end (a course, cohort, or 1:1 implementation). Ladder structure is what turns a one-off launch into compounding revenue.
Wire the post-purchase OTO at 2–4x tripwire price
Follow-up2 hrsImmediately after the $27 purchase, present the $97–$297 core as a one-time offer at a discount. 20–40% take rate. The OTO is where info-product unit economics start working; the $27 standalone usually loses to ad spend.
Build the Soap Opera Sequence for opt-ins
Follow-up3 hrs5-email sequence: Attractive Character intro, failed-then-won story, the moment-of-truth, the tripwire offer, the urgency. Same emails for every opt-in. Converts cold opt-ins to tripwire buyers at 2–5%. The asset compounds forever.
Add the Seinfeld pattern for the list
Follow-up1 hr (template only)After the Soap Opera ends, subscribers enter a 'something interesting + soft pitch' cadence at 3x/week. Same Brunson Seinfeld pattern. The list that gets daily-ish mail outperforms the list that gets weekly broadcast 2–3x on launch revenue.
Run the diagnostic on the rewritten sales page
Foundation10 minOnce items 1–9 ship, run the free 90-second diagnostic on your sales page URL. Triage labels whether the rewrite now reads as Wrong Person / Weak Offer / Weak Belief from a cold reader's perspective.
How the buckets work
- Foundation · 3 steps · The hero, the headline, the cohort definition. Where the page either earns the next four seconds or loses the reader.
- Offer · 3 steps · The Stack, the guarantee, the pricing structure. What turns the reader from interested into ready-to-pay.
- Proof · 1 step · Dated, named, specific evidence. What turns ready-to-pay into actually-paid.
- Follow-up · 3 steps · Soap Opera, Seinfeld, OTOs, post-purchase sequences. What turns one customer into compounding revenue.
Questions info product creators ask before starting
I sell on Gumroad / LemonSqueezy / Stan / Podia. Does the checklist work?
Yes, platform-agnostic. The marketing surface (sales page, email follow-up, ladder structure) is what matters, not the checkout tool.
Should I just keep launching new $27 products?
Each launch should compound the last – feeding a shared email list and ladder. Step 6 covers the ladder design. Standalone $27 launches with no ladder plateau at $1K–$3K per launch, regardless of audience size.
How big does my audience need to be?
1,000 engaged subscribers is enough for $1K–$10K launches with the right offer-stack. Engagement matters more than size – a 1,000-person engaged list outperforms 10,000 disengaged.
Read the cohort breakdown first
