The narrator introduces the "VSL Flow Bible," a document analyzing 18 of the biggest video sales letter (VSL) campaigns. Its purpose is to teach how to create 8 and 9 figure brands with powerful VSLs.
The narrator gives an example analysis of a VSL from Beverly Hills MD. It starts by getting the viewer's interest in why some women stay young looking. Then Dr. Lakey explains his experience with sisters, one who looked much younger. Research found the younger one took supplements that addressed the root cause of aging skin by lowering DHT and increasing collagen. So they made a product with those ingredients that made the older sister's skin look amazing too.
The narrator summarizes how this VSL flows logically to compel viewers to buy. First it raises an fascinating question, the doctor shares his relevant experience solving the problem, explains the root cause and solution found, then offers the product to viewers so they can achieve the same benefits.
The narrator says many top VSLs follow this type of logical flow from hooking the viewer's interest to offering the product solution. The key is to identify the root cause of the customer's problem and show how your product uniquely solves it. The narrator encourages studying these top performing VSL formulas in depth, especially the meta-analysis, to create high converting VSLs.
.The narrator did not initially understand the importance of average order value (AOV). Higher AOV allows much greater advertising spending and income potential. As an affiliate marketer, the narrator focused on getting people to buy, not maximizing AOV. When working with a skincare brand, the narrator asked if the affiliate payout could be increased to boost AOV, but was told the AOV was too low. Upon launching their own brand, the narrator realized the AOV truly was low. They initially tried using upsells to increase AOV, as is commonly recommended, and saw some success. However, converting the upsell pages to video sales letters boosted AOV even more.
The narrator later learned the importance of the "money close" at the end of a video sales letter to inspire customers to purchase higher quantities. After implementing a long, researched money close, the narrator saw their AOV increase greatly. For subscriptions, closes aimed at getting more yearly subscriptions work best. Always displaying the maximum number of bottles a customer can purchase also subconsciously suggests they should buy more. The right video sales letter close scripts can dramatically increase AOV.
.The Research Close is the best AOV closing script the narrator has tested. It inspires people to buy as much as they can. Key elements include: ask how much the offer is worth, emphasize it's not about money, offer a discounted price, recommend buying 3-6 months' supply, limited-time offer, money-back guarantee, warning about pain from missing out.
The subscription close used by Mindvalley is similar. It focuses on the program contents, community, and guarantees. It pushes the yearly membership.
Upsell videos after purchase are highly effective for increasing AOV. Thank buyers, offer expanded version of product, recommend buying more to maximize results.
Can model closes from competitors' funnels. Beverly Hills MD example recommends buying 6 months' supply to maximize results.
.The narrator felt overwhelmed trying to build his own brand while also needing to learn many new skills. He realized he excelled at creating video sales letters (VSLs) but struggled with other aspects like customer support. When he partnered with someone who covered the other pieces, it allowed the narrator to focus on his core strength of optimizing VSLs while his partner handled the rest of the business operations.
The narrator suggests readers identify the one skill at which they are exceptionally strong, such as VSL creation, and find a business operator to handle everything else so they can fully focus on mastering that one ability. This approach enabled the narrator to improve his VSLs rapidly. He advises against splitting a business 50/50 with a partner and instead hiring a business operator so you maintain full ownership.
The key is becoming obsessed with and dedicating all your effort toward excelling at the single most critical skill for your business, the 80/20 that drives your success. This allows rapid optimization. By pairing with someone handling the less important aspects, you avoid getting bogged down trying to master too many new abilities.
.The narrator provides a step-by-step guide for creating high-converting video sales letter (VSL) scripts. The goal is to create VSLs that can generate over $500,000 per day in sales.
The first step is to set strong intentions to create the biggest ad campaign you've ever made. Next, research your target audience's problems and the emotional pain caused. Identify the root cause of problems and how your product solves them. List the physical and emotional benefits your customer will experience. Outline the specific techniques and modules in your course that solve their problems. Finally, establish your authority and qualifications for teaching this material.
Following this framework helps ensure your VSL appeals to a mass market audience by clearly showing how you solve their pressing problems. The narrator provides examples for an ecommerce course throughout. He emphasizes focusing on emotional triggers and benefits over logic to drive sales.
