The Offer Builder

Let's build your offer.

This isn't about discounting your work. It's about packaging it so well that saying no feels like a mistake. By the time you're done here, you'll have a complete offer β€” the right pieces, priced right, with a bundle that makes more profit than selling alone ever did.

Step 2 Β· The Anchor

What's the main thing you're selling?

Your anchor piece is the centerpiece everything else gets built around. We recommend a larger original or premium piece β€” that's where the bundle strategy works best. But pick whatever fits this release.

Step 3 Β· Supporting Pieces

What are you bundling with it?

These are the supporting pieces that get included with each anchor piece sale. Select everything you're including β€” or skip this if it's just the anchor by itself.

Step 4 Β· True Cost Β· Product 1 of 1

What does it cost to make and ship your [product]?

Most artists are undercharging because they've never done this math. Let's fix that right now.

Step 5 Β· Your Floors

Here's what your work actually costs.

These are your floors. You'll never price below these numbers. Everything above this is profit.

These numbers are saved for the rest of this session.

Step 6 Β· Pricing

Now let's price your work to sell.

We're suggesting each piece at cost + 20% β€” a fair margin on every item. On the next steps, when we bundle, we'll raise the anchor price enough to absorb the bundle costs while keeping that 20% margin intact. Items are listed highest to lowest.

Step 7 Β· Urgency

Why would someone buy this now instead of later?

Every offer needs urgency. Not as a trick β€” as a real reason to act. Pick one or combine.

Step 8 Β· Money Goal

How much do you want to make from this release?

You've got real prices now. This isn't a wish β€” it's a target we can build toward.

Step 9 Β· Your Audience

Let's talk about who you're selling to.

A healthy email list usually buys at 1–2% when you make an offer. We'll use that to figure out what's realistic.

Step 10 Β· Your Release Plan

Here's the package we recommend.

Based on your list size and your prices, here's what to feature, what to bundle with it, and what to charge for the bundle. Adjust anything that doesn't fit.

What we recommend

β€”
β€”
We suggest one for every 50 people on your list β€” that gives a 2% conversion room to land.
These ship together with the anchor β€” buyers see them as "free" with the main piece.
We suggest a price that covers your bundle costs and keeps your 20% margin on the anchor. Adjust freely.
