How He Did It: Lewis Howes Reveals Exactly How His Latest Product Generated $400,000 in Sales in One Month

Today on The Rise To The Top: The #1 Non-Boring Business Show: Just one month ago, Lewis Howes and his business partner launched FBinfluence (affiliate), a Facebook training program for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and marketers (In fact, I had Amy Porterfield on the show, Lewis’ Facebook expert, who totally rocked giving us all tons of actionable Facebook tips). In today’s episode, we go behind-the-scenes with Lewis as he reveals everything about the launch (and you won’t believe the numbers). You will learn how they went about creating the product (including costs, time, etc.), how many products they sold (and how they did it), and much more in incredible detail. Enjoy!

I use RISE partner Wistia for video hosting because they rock. Check ‘em out.

This Episode Of The Rise To The Top Is Exclusively Sponsored By GoToMeeting:

GoToMeetingStory from last week. I was talking with my biz coach, Elizabeth Marshall, and my fitness trainers, Rob and Kim Murgatroyd, and they all wanted to meet each other. So, we all met and we did it via GoToMeeting by Citrix. Now it used to be when you did online meetings, you couldn’t see the other peeps in the meeting. No longer now that GoToMeeting has HDFaces, which let me tell you and they can back me on this, it is freaking crystal clear. Want to check it out for free?

    That’s so crazy how his affiliates grew that much in one year. That’s really cool to see the growth of his brand and the numbers told it all.

    Easily the best interview I’ve seen in quite some time. The details of the FBInfluence launch were awesome. I was taking notes, screen-capturing landing pages, and rewinding the video like a madman trying to capture it all.

    David, you really dug in on this one, pulling out answers that are going to improve the businesses of countless entrepreneurs.

    Lewis, well, he’s the man now, isn’t he?

    • David Siteman Garland

      AWESOME Jason. That is so great to hear and why I do this!
