Punishing previous buyers

Last night, I got back to Barcelona after a few days in Rome.

As I found out in Rome, 2025 is apparently a jubilee year, which in the Catholic church is a special year of mercy, forgiveness, giving etc.

Jubilee years happen every 25 years. Each one has a special theme. The theme of Jubilee 2025 is “Pilgrims of Hope.”

I was staying a block away from the Vatican during my Rome trip.

Even though I’m not Catholic or even Christian, it was inspiring and impressive to see a slow-moving processions of thousands of ordinary people, every day, who have been walking for who knows how long, from who knows where, all passing through the enormous colonnade at St. Peter’s square and finally approaching their destination at St. Peter’s Basilica.

Really, that has nothing to do with what I’m about to tell you, but I thought it was worth sharing. You might still want to read on, or you might not.

A couple days ago, I got from Yosi Anderson, who is a medical doctor turned personal productivity strategist.

Yosi has been on my list for a hot minute. Last year, she took me up on my recommendation to sign up for Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin, which I promoted without getting paid for it, simply because I thought it’s such a valuable resource.

I’m now promoting Royalty Ronin as an affiliate, with a bundle of bonuses for those who sign up for a week’s free trial. And about that, Yosi wrote in to ask:

===

Hi John,

Does this bonus apply to people like me who already joined Royalty Ronin when you wrote about it last year?

===

And my Jubilee 2025 answer to Yosi’s question is… of course not. The current bonuses don’t apply to previous buyers. The bonuses are there to get new people to sign up and help me make an affiliate cut. I’m running a business here, people. If you were foolish enough to take me up on my recommendation before, that’s too bad.

Err…

Actually no, let me try that again.

The fact is, Jubilee year or not, I always make new bonuses available to all previous buyers. That applies here too, for two reasons.

Reason one is simple and obvious, and a core part of my philosophy for how I run this little info publishing online biz.

I want to treat current and previous customers well, and reward them for taking me up on my offers when I make them, even if those offers didn’t pay me any money. I never want to put any doubts into my readers’ minds that now is the best moment to take me up on an offer I’m making.

Reason two I cannot tell you here, because it’s connected to a marketing tactic inside one of Travis’s paid trainings, called Shogun Traffic Method.

At the risk of sounding hypey:

This marketing tactic is one that Travis found so valuable that he didn’t share it for a decade or more, and kept just for himself. And when he did first share it, he delivered it via a mailed package because he wanted to restrict how many people would find out about it.

Times have changed. Jubilee 2025 is here. Travis’s tactic is now available inside an online course. That doesn’t change the fact it remains super valuable and in fact super underused, even if it’s available more broadly.

This marketing tactic is not something you will spot simply by looking at what Travis is doing, or what I’m writing about in these emails.

But this tactic is something you can find out today, and apply and profit from today, if you sign up for a free trial of Royalty Ronin, and then head inside Shogun Traffic Method, and look at the bonus lesson right before the one titled, “Unannounced BONUS: Bugatti Traffic.”

And yes:

There won’t be a better moment than now to sign up for this free trial of Royalty Ronin.

That’s because, if you sign up now, you’ll get any future bonuses I might offer. The reverse doesn’t hold — in the future, I will take away some of the current bonuses I am offering.

Plus, while I have no idea what Travis’s plans are, it’s conceivable he might at some point do away with the free trial, either because it’s worked well and done its job, or because it’s not working as well as he’d hoped.

If you don’t want to miss the opportunity while it’s here:

P.S. If you have signed up for the free trial of Royalty Ronin, or if you already signed up as a member even before I was promoting it as an affiliate, forward me your confirmation email from Travis, the one with “Vroom” in the subject line.

If you do that, I’ll give you access to my bonus bundle as my way of saying thanks for taking me up on my recommendation.
