You just grabbed your seat for the masterclass on daily sales without social media. Smart. Before you go, here's the shortcut: a tripwire funnel that turns brand-new subscribers into paying customers the moment they join your list. Build it in a day. It sells while you're at the soccer game.
I'm Kate Kordsmeier, and I've built my whole business on small sales that compound. My income comes from SEO, email, funnels, and a stack of little offers quietly selling around the clock, without me posting a thing.
Tripwires are the engine. They turn brand-new subscribers into buyers on day one, and a $27 buyer who got a quick win is the easiest person you'll ever sell to next. That's how a tiny first sale becomes a repeat customer who climbs into my bigger offers. Without tripwires, that climb is a lot steeper.
Wake up to a sales notification for a product you forgot you made. Watch a bump offer you set up on a lazy afternoon quietly pull in a couple grand over a few months.
That's a tripwire doing its job: turning the traffic you already get into buyers, without launching, without hustle, without a single post. It's how you make your first sale faster, and how a list of subscribers becomes a list of buyers.
Four little pieces, working as one machine. Here's how a single new subscriber's order grows on its own.
Someone opts in for your freebie and lands on the thank-you page.
One irresistible offer, only for the next 15 minutes. Their first yes.
A one-click add-on right at checkout. Most people say yes.
A natural next step after the first yes (with an optional downsell).
Example numbers, your prices are yours. The point: one new subscriber, three easy yeses, and a buyer who keeps ascending into your bigger offers.
A custom AI assistant trained on my entire framework.
This isn't a watch-20-hours-of-videos course. Tell Flo what you sell and she drafts your tripwire, bump and upsell, maps your whole funnel, and walks you through the tech step by step. She does most of the heavy lifting, so you can install this system into your business in a day, not a someday.
Beyond Flo, you get interactive AI tools that build the funnel with you. Tap through them.

| Stage | Typical range | Aim for |
|---|---|---|
| Lead Magnet Opt-In | 30–60% | Above 50% |
| Tripwire Conversion | 2–15% | Above 8% |
| Bump Offer | 10–30% | Above 15% |
| Upsell | 10–20% | Above 10% |
| Downsell | 10–25% | Above 10% |
These are small offers by design, often $7 to $47. But small is exactly why they work. Those little sales turn total strangers into buyers on day one, and the easiest person on earth to sell to is someone who's already bought from you once and gotten a quick win. Here's the climb that little first sale kicks off:
A stranger says their first small yes and gets a quick win.
They trust you now. The second sale is easy.
They're ready for the thing you really want to sell.
A buyer for life who keeps ascending.
(And yes, if you run ads, those small sales quietly cover the cost of the lead. Nice bonus, not the main event. Example numbers.)

Tripwires make daily sales without spending a dime on ads. But when you're ready to pour fuel on the fire, this bonus shows you exactly how — the same freebie → tripwire → bump → upsell ad funnel Kate has run profitably since July 2025.
The freebie → tripwire → bump → upsell sequence that makes paid traffic profitable.
The Andromeda-era structure that works now: one campaign, one ad set, five-ish ads.
The exact metrics that tell you whether the ad, the page, or the offer is the problem.
The $7 → $17 price change that made the funnel immediately profitable — and what to test next.
A done-for-you Google Sheet with built-in benchmarks that auto-diagnoses whether the ad, the page, or the offer is your leak. About 5 minutes a week.
Includes a guest expert panel with Meta ads pros Kwadwo (The Art of Online Business) and Melissa Litchfield (Litchfield Media) on testing, creative, budgets, and what's actually working right now.
I built my email list for a year before my first sale. After this clicked, I got my first 10 sales ever — then I started getting tripwire sales without even paying attention to my business at all. A reminder to set up systems that work for you.
I set up my tripwire with the funnel fixer bot before a speaking gig. Of the 30 people there, 6 grabbed my freebie and 3 who bought the tripwire also bought the upsell. The perfect way to test it before running ads.
I made my first sales since setting up my tripwire, upsell and downsell — after earning close to $0 all year. I haven't been this lit up about my marketing in so long, and all without social media.
I grew my email list by hundreds of subscribers in a few weeks and made my first tripwire sale. I'm no longer waiting for clarity to take action — I'm finding it through action.
A no-fluff course that really broke down the strategy of tripwires and gave me tech templates to get started even though the tech intimidated me. Everything was clear and well presented.
I joined to raise my sales with more products. The rundown on tripwires, order bumps and upsells was unbelievable. I can put these everywhere — and I'm just getting started.
