Better Sheets Members and Non-Members,

Just added a brand new section to the course: Selling Spreadsheets

Available free for Better Sheets members

And the course is sold separately via Udemy too!

Spreadsheet Sales Mastery (Section 4 of Selling Spreadsheets)
​Turning Google Sheets into Revenue Streams with a simple sales page. Tell the story your users want to buy into.

1. Write The Sales Page
   ​How to write a great sales page, that solves problems, and happens to mention it’s a Google Sheet.
2. The Strangest Secret to Selling a Spreadsheet
   ​Don’t sell a spreadsheet. Feature the problem and solution, not the sheet itself. It just so happens to be a spreadsheet.
3. The F Word​
   Why “Free” sucks and how to make something people will buy. Sure I’m going to make a whole other course about freebies and lead magnets but for us, right now, right here, free sucks.
4. Reciprocity Rules
   ​But in some instances you will need to make a Free version for people to see, smell, tire-kick. Give’em a little taste. It summons the influential power of “Reciprocity”.
5. Pricing Strategies for Spreadsheets
   ​Pricing is an art. Learn to balance affordability with profitability, understand market expectations, and apply different pricing models to maximize revenue.
6. Upselling and Cross-Selling Techniques​
   Know what to add, what to take away, and ultimately how to create a spreadsheet anyone can buy at any price. For example you can create a free template, add in custom formulas and automations into a Pro version.
   You can also create an ideal version first at a higher price and release simpler versions for a lower price later.
7. Avoid A Multi-Tier Approach​
   Reasons you may want to avoid the tiered approach, if you’re looking to sell your first spreadsheet. A tiered version can cause more confusion than you can ever imagine. You’re so familiar with your sheet, you know the ins and outs. Buyers and potential customers do not. You can almost always change just about everything at nearly any time.

Why would you want to sell spreadsheets?

Entrepreneurs can leverage these techniques to sell spreadsheets designed for business analytics, budgeting, and project management, making their tools indispensable for other business owners.

Freelancers can craft spreadsheets tailored for project management and time tracking, then use the course's strategies to sell them to other freelancers or small teams of the businesses they work for. Create workflows or planners for people who might not be able to afford your services. Or scale your processes and expertise so that you can generate new customer leads.
