INSIGHT

Profit, Not Revenue, Is The Goal

  • Revenue is a vanity metric; profit determines how much you actually take home.
  • Amy and Jamie stress reverse-engineering launches to hit profit goals, not just top-line revenue.
ADVICE

Calculate Profit Per Hour

  • Track time per offer and calculate effective hourly profit for each product or service.
  • Prioritize offers that yield higher profit per hour and reduce energy spent on low-return offers.
ADVICE

Use Profit Levers Strategically

  • Pull profit levers beyond just selling more: raise prices, increase average transaction value, and add upsells.
  • Use complementary offers to boost revenue per customer without finding new buyers.
