If you need to make sales promotions to make money online, you’re f*cked!

I know many marketers will tell you that’s a must.

And they’re right!

But it can’t be the ONLY thing you have to grow your online business.

Why?

#1 A promotion is not an offer

You can’t depend only on sales promos.

Because this means your offer is not valuable enough.

Sales promotions are meant for sales growth, not sales birth.

So, before you run a sales promo, you need to have a killer offer.

One that sells by itself.

#2 A promotion is not the solution to grow sales

Sales promos are only accelerator.

If you have a bad offer, promos will only amplify the effect, meaning you’ll be wasting time and energy to sell something that sucks.
