In a Short, Ali draws price against number of customers for making an extra $100,000 a year, calls selling for $1 to $100 the danger zone for anyone without a massive audience, says he made that mistake for over ten years, and says his Lifestyle Business Academy almost never lets students sell for under $2,000.

00:00:00 — Price against people: the ways to make an extra $100,000 and the danger zone of cheap products

  • ★★ On a graph of price against people, Ali notes you could make $100,000 by selling something to one person for $100,000, which is generally called having a job, or by selling to ten people at $10,000, down to 100,000 people at $1. — 00:00:00
  • ★★★ Unless you already have a massive audience, Ali says, selling things for $1, $10 or even $100 is a danger zone if you want to make $100,000 in the next 12 months, because getting many customers is much harder than charging a few a lot. — 00:00:29 · the $2,000 offer rule
  • ★★ Ali says he did not realise that many customers are harder to get than high prices when he started his business, and made the mistake of selling cheap for more than ten years. — 00:00:29 · also in: Make $100K: Sell 10 for $10K, not 10,000 for $10
