Put a Button on It: a 60-minute MVP you can sell today

The theme this week was simple. If you want momentum, publish something you can sell. Not a perfect brand. Not a ten-page funnel. A page with a button that goes to a real order form.

 

On the Put A Button On It call, Chad said it plain. You can fix broken. You cannot fix a blank canvas. He pushed the room to let go of the fear and act.

 

Why does this work so well? Because the first sale changes how you think. A working button turns guesses into signals. Where do people stop. What do they click. Now you have a clear next fix for tomorrow. That is faster than waiting for the perfect plan.

 

Chad showed the pace live. He took a member’s “Bloom” supplement idea and built the page and product right there. He set a price, opened the order form, and linked the page buttons to that form. No drama. No heavy design.

 

“That’s it. That’s called putting a button on the page.”

 

Here is what to do, step by step, in a single sitting. Keep this open while you work.

 

The 10-step script

 

1. Pick one small offer. Digital, physical, or a simple local bundle. One thing only.
   
   

2. In MintBird, create the product. Name it. Set a friendly price. If you are unsure, start at 17 to 27 dollars.
   
   

3. Turn on the order form. Choose one-step if you want fewer fields. Choose two-step if you want the email first. On the Sneak Peek, Chad clicked between one-step and two-step to show both modes.
   
   

4. Add a bump if you have one. Keep it simple so it does not distract from the main button.
   
   

5. Open Sales Pages. Pick a clean template.
   
   

6. Write four short blocks on the page. A clear headline. Three bullets. A trust line.
   
   

7. Link every button to the product’s order form. On the Sneak Peek, Chad said it straight: “If somebody clicks the button, it’s gonna go to the order form.”
   
   

8. Preview. Click your own button. Make sure the order form loads.
   
   

9. Do one test purchase. Confirm the thank-you shows.
   
   

10. Publish. Send a short email to recent openers.
    
    

That is all you need to get proof today. If you want to be extra sure, you can pull the order form right onto the page and flip between one-step and two-step to see which fits your offer. Chad walked Sandra through that exact toggle during the Sneak Peek. Keep it light. You can style colors later.

 

Let’s talk copy. Beginners get stuck here, so keep every line short and clear. Write like a text message.

 

• Headline: Get [one result] without [one pain].
  
  

• Lead: This is a simple [thing]. It solves [one problem]. You can use it today.
  
  

• Bullets: Three benefits. Each one action in plain words.
  
  

• Button: Get Instant Access.
  
  

• Trust nudge: If you try it and hate it, email me. I will help.
  
  

This style works because it respects the goal of the page. The goal is not to impress. The goal is to make the button obvious and easy to press. On the call, Chad kept reminding the room that “could it be prettier” is the wrong question on day one. If it sells, then you make it better.

 

A quick note on fear. Many people blame tools when they stall. They jump from platform to platform. Chad addressed that head-on. The blockage is not MintBird or any other tech. The blockage is inside your head.

 

You have to be willing to publish something a little broken today so you can fix it tomorrow. He said it several times in the first minutes of the call.

 

If you want a concrete pattern to copy right now, mirror the live build:

 

• Create the product.
  
  

• Open the order form.
  
  

• Link the sales page to that product. In the Sneak Peek, he literally clicked “link to product,” picked it, and confirmed the button would route to checkout.
  
  

• If you prefer the order form on the page, drag it in and choose one-step or two-step. He showed the switch and even pointed out spots to style.
  
  

Now, a few quick examples you can ship today.

 

Example one. A tiny digital guide. “7 Local Posts That Always Click.”

 

Price it at 17 dollars.

 

One-step form to keep it fast.

 

This works as a first page because it solves a clear problem for new publishers.

 

Example two. A physical sample. The “Bloom” idea from the call was a simple supplement product. A one-bottle checkout with a small shipping line.

 

Keep the description short.

 

Let the order form do the heavy lifting. Chad set a number, linked the form, and moved on.

 

Example three. A local bundle teaser. Over $500 in city value at an intro price. This can live on your thank-you page for new subscribers.

 

Start at 17 dollars. You can raise it later once it works.

 

When you have a page live, send a tiny email to warm readers. Keep it human.

 

Subject: I put a button on it

Body:

“Quick note. I made a simple [thing] you can use today. It solves [one problem] in under 10 minutes. Here is the page. If you grab it and need help, reply to this. —[Your name]”

 

Expect a few replies. That is good. Those replies tell you what to improve next.  Adjust the headline. Move the button higher. Try one-step if you used two-step. This is the ship-and-learn cycle Chad wants the group to live in.

 

He even told a story from his early days where a plain button led to a surprise high-ticket sale, which woke him up to how much he had been leaving on the table by not having buttons at all.

 

Two short quotes to pin to your monitor:

 

“You can fix broken. What you can’t fix is a blank canvas.”

“If somebody clicks the button, it’s gonna go to the order form.”

 

If you like live help, the new weekly “Put a Button On It” happens Thursdays at 2 PM Pacific. It was announced during the Sneak Peek and exists to help you ship during the hour, not plan for weeks.

 

Summary

This is a small, strong habit. Build a page. Link the button to a real order form. Publish. One sale gives you proof and a clear next fix. Then you improve one part tomorrow. That is how you build a real business with simple steps.
