This $100/Sale Hack Changed Everything (Digital Product Secret)


Listen Later

If you sell digital products, you've probably asked: "How do I increase revenue without adding more work?" Good news—there's a simple, ethical, customer‑friendly tactic that top creators use every day:

Order bumps.

In this post, I'll show you what an order bump is, why it reliably grows your average order value (AOV), real examples that convert, and a copy‑paste prompt to brainstorm your own in minutes. I'll also share how to set this up with MiloTree (including what you can do on the Free Plan), so you can start today.

What's an Order Bump?

Think "add fries to your burger."

An order bump is a small, complementary offer shown right on the checkout page—purchased with a single checkbox click.

Why it works

  • Zero extra friction: Buyer is already in buying mode.
  • Clear added value: The bump makes the main product easier, faster, or better.
  • Low price point: Sweet spot is usually $5–$15.

With MiloTree, the bump appears as a simple checkbox on your Stripe checkout. Your customer selects it, and boom—both items are purchased in one click. No extra pages. No confusion.

Real creators using MiloTree report 30–40%+ of buyers taking the bump—turning a $27 sale into $33–$38 in seconds.

How to Brainstorm Your Order Bump (Copy‑Paste Prompt)

Open ChatGPT (free version is fine) and paste:

You're an expert digital product strategist. I want to sell one main product and one smaller related product as an order bump. My niche is: [insert niche] My audience's biggest problem is: [insert problem] Give me 5 ideas for the main product and, for each one, a smaller related digital product that can be offered as an order bump.

In minutes, you'll have pairs you can sell individually and together.

Pro tip: If your solution is good, people don't care about fancy design. You can draft the whole bump in a simple Google Doc.

Pricing & Positioning: Quick Guidelines

  • Keep it bite‑sized: A quick win your buyer can use today.
  • Price for impulse: Aim for $5–$15.
  • Complete the win: Ask, "What would make the main product easier/faster?" That's your bump.

Step‑by‑Step: Set It Up in MiloTree

  1. Create your main product (Google Doc → PDF works great).
  2. Create your bump product (short checklist, template pack, scripts, flashcards, etc.).
  3. Connect Stripe in MiloTree.
  4. Add the order bump to the main product's checkout (it appears as a checkbox).
  5. Test your flow and publish.

What can you do on the MiloTree Free Plan?

  • Sell 1 product for free and offer 1 freebie to grow your list.
  • Perfect for getting your first product live fast and validating demand.

Note: Because an order bump sells a second product, bumps require a paid MiloTree plan. Plans start affordably, and many creators earn back the cost (and more) just from the bump uplift. When you're ready to add bumps (and unlimited products), upgrade and flip the switch.

When Not to Use a Bump

  • If it's unrelated or bloats the purchase.
  • If the price is too high for an impulse add‑on.
  • If it introduces new tools/tech that slow the buyer down.

Keep it tight, relevant, and helpful.

Final Thought

Order bumps turn the sale you're already making into a bigger win for your customer and more revenue for you—without more content, hustle, or tech.

What's your main + bump combo? Drop it in the comments and I'll help you refine it.

Want help getting this live—fast?

Spin up your first product + one freebie on the MiloTree Free Plan today. When you're ready to add the order bump checkbox, upgrade and watch your AOV climb.
