25 - The Product Tree — How a Product Manager Changed My Whole Brand
Hook
I was just throwing products on a homepage. Then a product manager taught me the tree.
Premise
May 2024: Gustavs hires a product manager. The PM teaches him the product tree — define a CORE product, then build smaller satellite products around it that raise AOV and lower CPA, then layer branches deeper into the same niche. Never go wide.
Proof points
- Specific framing from May 2024 voice messages
- Direct ancestor of the 2025-2026 ladder ($25 ebook → $100 → $3k → $8k)
- Named the strategy that made the Miami mastermind insights stick
- "Stay deep in one niche — that's how you make money today"
Takeaway
Don't list products. Plant a tree.
