Lessons from an art forger on cranking out high-ticket offers like candy

As we hit the ’24 hours till shut down’ mark on the Billion Dollar Bonus Formula…

… it reminds me of a couple of things I learned in 2024 after reading the biography of famed art forger, Tony Tetro…

… about cranking out high-ticket offers as easily as drawing candy doodles on a piece of paper!

Notably that:

[+] Tony grew up with a talent he couldn’t monetize.

[+] He never went to art school. Learned everything through books. But could still draw and paint masterpiece copies so similar to the originals, even professional appraisers couldn’t tell the difference.

[+] He tried to make money from his talent. But in typical ‘starving artist’ style, his only buyers were old guys in a park paying him 10 to 20 bucks per piece.

[+] Mass media probably creates more criminals than anything else. Because after reading a news article about an art forger who got caught and sentenced to years in prison, he thought to himself, “Hey. Sounds easy. Maybe I could do that.”

[+] The art industry is corrupt to the core. Art galleries don’t care whether they’re selling originals or fake. All they care about is collecting the cash.

[+] Tony quickly became a millionaire by getting his artwork auctioned as originals. But at the cost of having several run-ins with the mafia who controlled the ‘underground art’ scene.

[+] The last-one eventually got him thrown in the slammer. And lost him all his money. And every asset he owned.

[+] When he was released, billionaires everywhere who wanted original artworks but couldn’t get their hands on them, started swarming him like bees, trying to get him to paint exact replicas of masterpieces they could hang everywhere in their mansions!

[+] He quickly made millions once again from those billionaire commissions.

Anyways:

The moral of the story?

He could have just skipped the ‘illegal underground art’ part. Wouldn’t have had to worry about getting killed by the mafia at any time. Wouldn’t have lost everything and gotten thrown in the slammer.

And he could have just ‘skipped the line’, and started creating commissions pieces for billionaires from the get go.

Would have made millions without all the hassle just doing that.

But:

Here’s what most people don’t get…

Once you have a great offer backed by the right bonuses, the only difference between making millions with high-ticket sales and being a starving artist barely scraping buy on ‘pennies from the park’ is… just your mindset!

It ain’t the offer anymore.

You can sell that for anything you want.

Like how Tony could have sold to billionaires instead of park grandpas at any time he wanted.

High-ticket, mid-ticket, low-ticket, makes no difference.

All that matters is how you think about the offer. And how you position the offer. And that’s one of the most important parts that’s been baked into the Billion Dollar Bonus Formula:

How to position your offer so it looks like a steal at any price!

But it reminds me of how:

One of my early mentors, the late marketing legend Jim Straw, used to sell single-ebook PDFs for 1,000 bucks a pop and had people hounding him to buy them. While the typical ‘rotten mindset’ marketer kept complaining ’bout how ebooks just don’t sell anymore because there’s too many of ’em, and no one wants to read or buy them.

Nah, they just don’t know how to position their offer using probably the most important bonus factor in the formula.

It’s something that I’ve noticed…

… almost every successful billionaire investor looks at in a business before dropping a dime…

… and that makes the biggest difference between charging $9 for something, or $900 for the same thing…

… while still having people lining around the block to buy, if you do it right.

At any rate:

This billion dollar ‘bonus factor’ is baked into the formula.

But only 24 hours left. Till I close up the formula until re-launch. Where I double, or perhaps triple, the price.

It’s baked into the app too, by the way.

So all you need to do is start baking it into every offer you create or promote.

P.S. If you’re wondering what else is inside my latest handwritten work, here’s a little taste of my blood, sweat, and snot-filled tears:

5 things you can quickly do to make your bonuses SO valuable, people STOP caring about the price of your offer. (One of America’s top advertisers literally mastered this technique, and it gave him the ‘ability’ to take free sand off the beach and sell it for millions… and I share a case study about something similar he did inside!)
The single ‘kung fu move’ legendary martial artist Bruce Lee used that almost instantly 100Xed his minimum-wage income, and propelled him to worldwide stardom… within a matter of years! (And why I believe you absolutely MUST use this ‘move’ in your offer if you’re serious about making job-replacing, travel-funding, life-changing income)
How to avoid getting slapped in the face by the current email marketing ‘crap-flinging’ that’s sending conversions ‘rock-bottoming’ across the board, especially if you use AI to write your emails and content (which is why I NEVER do, not even for… this offer)!
“Gimme offer or I die!” – How to craft a bonus that, scientists say, ‘neurologically injects’ this exact thought into your viewer’s brain cells, leaving them in a constant state of sleep-depriving ‘insomnia’ if they don’t buy.
When you should build your entire marketing campaign around promoting a single bonus… (And let your main offer just ‘ride along’ in the background instead, like a ‘supporting actor’ who hardly gets any screen time…)
“No one buys anything anymore, because now you can get everything from AI for free” – How to flip this ‘limiting belief’ into your ‘secret edge’ with a special bonus ‘archetype’ top salespeople use, that can make people ‘crave’ paying for your stuff (EVEN when everyone else in your market is giving away the same thing for FREE)!
Why adding more bonuses could actually ‘collapse’ your conversion rates… and… how to add less bonuses but potentially get a lot more sales! (I recently heard one of my friends and earliest mentors, 9-figure webinar copywriter Jason Fladlien, talk about how he made $100M entrepreneur Alex Hormozi get rid of his ‘too many’ bonuses because… they were killing his conversions! A timely lesson on how strategy beats quantity…)
The easiest way to use bonuses to turn your offer into an IQ test… (because it’d be DUMB of them NOT to buy!)
What my little ‘adventure’ into creating viral YouTube videos taught me about the ‘attention-span halving’ that suddenly took place over the last 12 months… (And why your offers and bonuses MUST NOW have this one thing that grabs eyeballs in less than 2 seconds, or they’re gone!)
Why offering a short guarantee can actually SPIKE refund rates, and… what you SHOULD be doing instead, based on decades of split-testing data, if you want your buyers getting the maximum results with your offer possible! (But even if you’re just an affiliate who doesn’t own the offer, there’s a special bonus ‘archetype’ that can tap into this psychological trigger for you that I talk about inside…)
The DEADLIEST psychological sub-factor in the entire Billion Dollar Bonus Formula, because it can psychologically ‘force’ people to KILL just to get your offer… with billion-dollar companies getting fined almost every year from customers literally DYING whenever they do this! (DISCLAIMER: Please use this responsibly and ethically like what I mention in the document, and don’t use this for evil. Because if you do… whatever legal consequences you face is on YOU!)
How to add an ‘urgency stack’ to your ‘offer stack’ and ‘bonus stack’ if you want to squeeze out every single penny your offer can give you. (Never heard this term before? I was clueless too, until I started analyzing how billion dollar companies used bonuses to ‘skyrocket’ their offer sales… ‘to the moon’!)
Why using countdown timers on your offer might actually be ‘slaughtering’ your conversions… (and how to use a unique type of ‘No to Yes’ bonus if you REALLY wanna create urgency that gets you more sales)
A strangely simple, but incredibly effective, ‘low effort’ bonus used by some of the most profitable eCom and physical product sellers online to double, and even triple, their offer conversions quickly… (all while grabbing buyer’s remorse by the ‘throat’, stopping it from ‘whispering’ a single negative word into their buyer’s brain, and MAXXING out customer loyalty by minimizing refunds)
The ingenious ‘anti-urgency’, ‘anti-scarcity’ bonus strategy that $300M shopping SAAS, SamCart, is using to create an ‘anti-gravity’ effect on their conversions, making them float upwards, while slashing customer acquisition costs for their platform at the same time! (This probably flies against almost every bit of wisdom you’ve been taught about getting people to buy more, but… if done right… especially for a lead gen offer… it makes your buyers’ list grow like crazy!)
A special type of bonus you deliver right after they buy that… instantly makes you stand out like a ‘priest in a prostitutes den’ – irresistible especially in markets overflowing with AI ‘slop and flops’! (It’s easier than ever now to dominate competitive markets with simple little ‘tricks’ like this one, all because most people’s brains have been fried to mush by using AI, to the point they’re like ‘zombie sheep’… all doing the same mindless things)
Something you can do to ‘prime’ your buyers before launching any offer (used by a $175M recipes membership site) that, when done correctly, can make your bonuses look to them like ‘raw meat’ looks to a den of starving, ravenous, “can’t wait no more” lions! (It’s a little extra work, to be fair, but this is one of the easiest and quickest ways to double conversions that I know of, based on my experience)
A sneaky ‘bonus trick’ for creating mental ‘purchasing tension’ that can’t be relieved until your buyers actually… BUY MORE! (One of the only 3 ways billion-dollar business consultant, Jay Abraham, recommends to boost your profits is to… get them to buy more, and… this is probably the easiest way to do it)
How to create high-leverage ‘No to Yes’ bonuses that make almost any offer ‘pay for itself’… (The value in these bonuses is SO obvious that even if they buy the offer and do nothing with it at all, the bonuses are still worth WAY more for them than whatever the offer itself costs)
How the famous Pedigree dog food company used a ‘trend stacking’ bonus to make one-quarter of all dog owners in the entire country buy their dog treats, with people lining up to buy dog food just to get the bonus!
The ‘LinkedIn marketing’ bonus technique that generated over $15,000 in course sales in less than a week.
If you’re ‘vibe coding’ apps right now – How an SAAS founder slashes his FB Ads customer acquisition costs by 90% (from $37, all the way down to a teeny, tiny $4 per customer) using the ‘anti-urgency, anti-scarcity’ bonus trick.
Running an SMMA Agency? This FB Ad Agency increased conversions of a $1,500 monthly service by 31% in just 3 weeks with a ‘zero cost’ bonus. See how they did it inside.
How global beauty brand, Sephora, multiplied their sales by 15X and generated an extra $3 billion in repeat business, all by using a brilliantly simple ‘risk reversal’ bonus that almost anyone can do right now, in minutes.
This university did a split test on which type of bonus gives better conversions – extra product bonuses vs discount bonuses. The conclusion? One of them got 73% more sales than the other, and it’s not what you’re thinking!
Course creator reveals how you can increase your prices from $497 to $999, yet STILL TRIPLE conversions by adding bonuses that make their fingers SO itchy, they almost can’t help but buy.
The digital product creator who generated $1,400 in sales, using ‘almost zero effort’ bonuses… before his product even launched!
5 days, $9,954 in affiliate commissions (plus an extra $2,000 in prize commissions) – The 3 simple bonuses this guy used to increase sales by 20% in 5 days.
The super simple ‘ebook bonus’ method that made this CRO expert in the food/cooking niche an extra $68,000 in monthly recurring revenue, amounting to an additional $816,000 in recurring subscription income a year! (You might not believe this, but it was just ONE ebook. Yet another example of ‘strategy’ over ‘quantity, which is what ‘No to Yes’ bonuses are designed to do…)
How a pet-niche affiliate DOUBLED his conversions on a dog training course in just a matter of days using AI-generated bonuses.
The high-ticket coach who shot his FB Ads ROI all the way up to 4,034%, quickly netting him another $32,000 in sales, using ‘no-work-upfront’ bonuses.
My personal case study of how I used ‘multi-modal’ bonuses to 5X my conversions on an SEO SAAS app campaign, making me an extra stream of 4 to 5 figures in passive monthly affiliate income… for years!
An ordinary bonus that bumped recurring revenue conversions for an eCom supplement brand by 85%, adding an extra $22,000 in monthly continuity income instantly.
A high-ticket super affiliate who bumped conversions by up to 4x, raking in an extra $9.8 million in just 8 days, all by using a strategy called ‘bonus hybridization’.
How a skincare eCom business rocketed their conversions by a whopping 90% with a bonus SO obvious, not using it cost them almost half their sales!
If you’re selling ebooks: How a ‘lazy’ web developer, whose ‘inner sloth’ didn’t wanna create videos, used this ‘bonus stack’ trick to raise his ebook’s price from $29 to $99, generating over $35,000 in just 3 weeks with only 1,721 email subscribers.
And more!
