#98: Turning a $27 Offer Into a $300 Sale (Average Order Value Explained)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I took a $27 offer and turned it into an average sale of nearly $300, without changing the offer, the price or the traffic. In this episode I'm walking you through exactly how, because it comes down to a key sales number that most people aren’t paying enough attention to.
If you've ever felt like low-ticket offers require endless traffic or huge audiences to generate meaningful income, this episode is for you. I'm breaking down the concept of average order value and sharing the simple funnel tweaks that can dramatically increase what each sale is worth, without changing the offer itself.
I'll walk you through the different pieces of a higher-converting customer journey, including order bumps, upsells, and how I use them in my own business. Plus, I share real examples from recent launches and sales campaigns to show how small changes can create a much bigger impact on your revenue.
🎧 Tune in to hear:
- What average order value really means
- Simple order bump strategies
- When and how to use upsells
- Increasing revenue without more traffic
- Lessons from my own funnel experiments

💭 [09:43] "Don't just look at the front end sales, but divide the total money made in your launch by the total number of sales and then you will get the average order value."
💭 [10:21] "I made over a thousand dollars thanks to the order bumps and upsells on my offers. So an extra thousand dollars in my Black Friday sale because of thinking about my average order value."
