Offer Before Product

A framework for creating successful digital products by focusing on the offer before building the actual product. Based on insights from Ali Abdaal's course success.

Core Philosophy

• Separate the offer from the fulfillment
• Focus on crafting an irresistible offer before building anything
• Make the offer so good that people feel "like a dumbass for saying no"

  • Learn from Alex Hormozi ($100M Offers)
  • Follow proven formulas for landing pages

• Landing Page Structure

  • Focus heavily on headlines
  • Emphasize subheads
  • Address user problems directly

Implementation Tips

• Test offer before creating product

  • Get validation through sales
  • Adjust based on market response
  • Build product to match successful offer

• Focus on clear messaging
