[…] not too much however, this is the kind of balance that I was getting at in my post about having too many bonuses. Everything works and meshes together. This is a complete course to learn how to make money […]

You make a good point. I’m sure it works to a degree, but I wonder if there is any buyers regret…

I agree, too many bonuses really can confuse and lower the perception of quality of the main product.

But I imagine the technique increases conversions among less savvy buyers.

I think a good product doesn’t need bonuses to sell it. They should compliment the product. You should feel like your getting you moneys worth just for the product and bonuses are, well, an added bonus to an already good product.

Oh and yes information overload is rough and easy to do nowadays.

Great article, and timely too. I’m getting ready to release my first product soon, and initially I was going to offer 3 bonuses, and now I’m planning to offer zero, but perhaps offering just 1 is a good middle ground.

I have experienced the info overload by too much stuff, and it turns me off just as it did for you. They lose me completely!

Agreed. I think the bonuses should definitely be something unique and pertain to the product. Either that or something that is sold by itself somewhere else.

Yup! Like I said, I was about to buy the product (it sounded like a decent buy) until they tacked on all that. Sure made me think twice about it.

Bonuses are a great way to add value to a product to increase sales, but it’s silly having 40. Information overload is a terrible thing, makes you wonder if there is a “bonus repository” somewhere where people delve in & get 2 or 3 things to add to their product. It’s bad when two products have the same bonuses!
