Royalty Ronin

Last call for Ronin bonus offer

by

The past two weeks, I’ve been promoting a free trial of Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin membership, and I’ve been giving people who took me up on that a bundle of bonuses I’ve created.

I’m ending this promotion tonight at 12 midnight PST.

I will promote Ronin again in the future because…

– I myself am a member or Ronin (paid in full for the next year)

– Considering all the stuff inside (Travis offers $12k worth of real-world bonuses) I think it’s a honestly a great deal, probably the best deal out there right in any direct marketing-adjacent space

– I believe Ronin can be immensely valuable for many people in my audience, whether coaches, copywriters, or course creators, if they were to join and implement just an idea or two that are shared inside

So why stop the promotion?

Well, expose human beings to anything constant — even incontestably good things like compliments, security, or free money — and people soon stop responding. Our strange neurology means we need constant contrast to see, hear, feel, think, and pay attention. Otherwise things become literally invisible.

And so I’m ending my current promotion of Travis’s Royalty Ronin. After tonight, the bonuses I’m offering just for giving it a free trial will disappear, only to be found behind the paywall.

If you have already signed up for a trial of Ronin, forward me your confirmation email from Travis, the one with “Vroom” in the subject line.

And if you have not yet taken Ronin for a week’s free spin, you can do so before tonight at 12 midnight PST and get the following 4 bonuses:

1. My Heart of Hearts training, about how to discover what people in your audience really want, so you can better know what to offer them + how to present it.

2. A short-term fix if your offer has low perceived value right now. Don’t discount. Sell for full price, by using the strategy I’ve described here.

3. Inspiration & Engagement. A recording of my presentation for Brian Kurtz’s $2k/year Titans XL mastermind.

4. A single tip on writing how-to emails in the age of ChatGPT. I’ve been thinking to develop this idea into a Most Valuable Postcard #3, because it’s valuable way beyond just how-to emails. For now, if you’re curious, you can read the core of it in this bonus.

If you’d like to give Ronin a week’s free try, and get four bonuses above, which have your name on them, as my way of saying thanks for taking me up on my recommendation, then here’s where to go:

Can you make money “birddogging”?

by

Dear Diary,

Day 14.

I keep promoting Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin membership, with no signs of a rescue ship on the horizon.

Instead, new people keep signing up for the Ronin free trial week, and new questions keep arriving.

For example, the following message-in-a-bottle washed up on the beach a few days ago:

===

I have now listened to 3 interviews of Travis Sago and looked at other info so I understand he is very sharp, so I get that.

So the question is about the (no product, no list) issue. Does he teach a way of profiting by finding or Bird Dogging out these deals and turning them over to others like himself to deliver the service and making a commission?

Maybe better said, is there a way to find deals for him or others to do, and profit in that way vs. doing the work yourself?

===

For clarification:

One of the things Travis teaches is partnering up with business owners, and helping them get more money out of their existing courses, lists, communities, etc.

The budding birddogger above wants to know whether you can make money just by finding such deals, and not by actually doing the marketing and sales work yourself.

Maybe this is cruel to say, or maybe I’m projecting here from my desert island… but I figure that anybody who goes to the trouble of asking whether you can make money just by finding great deals, has little chance of finding great deals in the first place.

Maybe I’m wrong.

In any case, the answer to the question above is an absolute unqualified yes.

If you have the deal — for example, if you’ve found an online business owner who has an asset that he doesn’t really value or use well, but you see how it could be milked for cash, and you’ve convinced him to let you try a little test on it — then there are probably a hundred and one people inside Royalty Ronin who would be happy and able to deliver on the technical side, and split the profits with you in some way you agree on.

For a good enough deal, I bet Travis himself would be interested.

If you work with clients — if you are a copywriter, a media buyer, a designer — then this kind of birddoggin’ could be 1) a way of getting paid more from your existing and past clients, without 2) doing any of the actual work.

But somehow, my feeling is that this is not the burning question on the minds of most people reading this email.

So just for the sake of completeness, let me say it goes in the other direction too.

If you have technical skills, in particular if you are good at sales copy but also other stuff, then there are people in Ronin who are looking to hand off the delivery side of deals. A few examples I just dug up (excuse the Royalty Ronin jargon):

#1. “I am looking to partner with someone who is a Systeme.io expert. I have many courses I own that should have been put up for years. However, my nature is to do everything myself.”

#2. “Can I request an experienced Sales Saver in here to partner up for experience/bona fides? Coffee date said they have room for another 20 spots per month at $5K, doing 60 calls a month.”

#3.”Tapper & T1/3 writer potentially needed for Beamer Deal (Fitness Biz niche)”

#4. “Per Travis’s ‘Do this. Get partners!’ vid, I would love to partner with one or two folks here who have some experience with either email, SMS or social group campaigns. You can count on me to do the heavy-lifting of getting partners. Just need someone to be my wing-person on this so we can hopefully get some quicker wins together.”

If you’d like to look inside Royalty Ronin, or even maybe partner with some of the people there, on either part of the deal, you can sign up for a week’s free trial to Ronin here:

The kid fell flat and the mother wasn’t moving

by

I went for a walk this morning, and on a quiet and pedestrian street in my neighborhood, I saw a toddler running, or more accurately trundling, from around the corner.

His mom followed behind, pushing one of those toddler push bikes.

Suddenly the kid tripped on the sidewalk and fell flat, if not quite on his face, then on his belly.

I looked at him with the overactive sympathy of someone who’s never had a kid, and who knows nothing about kids. I was sure he’d start bawling right away.

I then looked at his mom. I was sure she’d run over and start comforting her son.

But the mom wasn’t moving. She seemed to have no intent of moving. She just stood there looking at the kid from 15 feet way.

The mom noticed me looking at her. Our gazes met. And she gave me a weary smile as if to say, “He does this all the time. He’ll be fine.”

Sure enough, before I’d even had a chance to look back at the kid, he’d gotten up and started running, or more accurately trundling, in his straight line to God-knows-where his will was taking him.

A couple days ago, I started reading a book called Straight-Line Leadership by some very Serbian-sounding dude named Dusan Djukich.

Last night in that book, I read a bit about “zigzag people” — people who sometimes go on spurts of success and productivity, only to inevitably regress to earlier, pre-success levels. Says Djukich:

“Zigzag people simply don’t see that after that good start, a ‘challenge’ doesn’t have to stop them. They can keep going. In fact, they can use the challenge to build strength along the path.”

I thought of that this morning when I saw the mom with her toddler. You can think of it too, when coaching others that there’s nothing very remarkable about falling flat. It’s ok to get up and keep going where you were going.

You can also think of it when coaching yourself, or rather, when living your life and making your own progress.

The next time you hit a challenge, you can think of that trundling toddler, or think of Djukich’s message above, and realize you can fall flat and still get up and keep going. The “challenge” doesn’t have to stop you, and in fact, you can use it to build strength along the path.

But enough Djukich Soup for the Soul.

Let me just add one last thing:

The reason why I’m now reading Straight-Line Leadership is because it’s long been on my reading list.

The reason it’s long been on my reading list is because I’ve repeatedly heard Travis Sago recommend it.

Over the past week, I’ve been promoting Travis’s Royalty Ronin membership for its most promotable aspects — like money-making, partnerhsip-building, and new marketing and sales ideas.

But the fact is, some of the most impactful books I’ve read over the past year, which have nothing to do with sales or marketing, came via Travis’s recommendations inside Ronin.

If you’re a reader, and if like me, you like to go to the original source, you might like Travis and his teachings, and more importantly, you might be motivated to actually put them to practice, without zigging and zagging all the time.

A week’s free trial to Royalty Ronin, so you can make up your own mind, is here:

Truly tragic street lamp

by

Today being March 31, it seems a good time to take you back exactly 135 years, to March 31 1889, when the disgraceful Eiffel Tower was inaugurated.

A few Parisians of the day looked up at the giant new metal structure and said, “Formidable!”

Mostly though, the reactions were super negative.

Petitions started circulating, calling the Eiffel Tower “monstrous” and a “gigantic black smokestack.” One wag called it a “truly tragic street lamp.” Writer Guy de Maupassant supposedly dined at the restaurant inside the Eiffel Tower often — because it was the only place in city where he couldn’t see the structure.

Today, of course, the Eiffel Tower is iconic, perhaps the most iconic landmark in the world. (In my mind, the only possible rivals are the Statue of Liberty and the Colosseum.)

The Eiffel Tower has become a source of pride for the locals, the backdrop of a million and one romantic movies, and a contributor of billions of dollars in tourist revenue to the city of Paris.

All that’s to say, it’s silly to jump at every new thing simply because it’s new and must therefore be better.

It’s equally silly to pan and nay-say every new thing simply because it’s not what has come before.

I’m telling you this because I continue to promote the Royalty Ronin membership, and with new gusto — because after a week’s free trial, the first commissions have started to clink into my tin cup.

Travis Sago, the guy behind Royalty Ronin, might be new to you.

More importantly, many of the sales and marketing ideas that Travis teaches, like auctions, licensing, or “tapping” might be new to you.

Human instinct is to think in black and white — either, “This is gonna save me,” or, “This must be a scam.”

I’d like to invite you to take a closer look, and make up your mind based on some finer distinctions than just a Paris-style knee-jerk reaction.

I can tell you I’ve personally found Royalty Ronin and Travis’s marketing and sales ideas very profitable.

Maybe you will as well. Or maybe you won’t. Again, there’s a week’s free trial, so you don’t risk anything. If you’d like to take a closer look:

My Royalty Ronin money breakdown

by

In my experience, if you promote a new offer diligently for a few days, questions start to arrive from the heavens that make the promo easier and more effective.

For example, the following bit of manna landed in my inbox yesterday:

===

John — you said a lot about the Royalty Ronin, except how or if it made you money?

May I ask — aside from affiliate fees — how did this membership make you money?

===

The background is that I’ve been doing an affiliate promotion for Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin for the past few days.

The first day of the promo, I recorded a video and actually talked inside that about money that being inside Ronin myself has made me over the past year.

But I understand not everyone will have watched that video. So lemme give you the gist.

I directly attribute about $60k of income over the past year to being inside Royalty Ronin. That breaks out like this:

#1. Last autumn, I ran two two-day promos — the White Monday campaign for Copy Riddles, and the Shangri-La event for Most Valuable Email.

The core idea for both of those promos came from Travis’s teachings that come as bonuses for being inside Royalty Ronin — specifically, an idea he shares in his Millionaire Math training (inside his Phoneless Sales Machine program).

In total, those two promos made me a little over $30k.

#2. Last summer, I started going through Travis’s Passive Cash Flow Mojo course (another course that used to cost a few thousand dollars, but is now free as a bonus if you sign up to Royalty Ronin).

I went through PCFM a couple of times and followed it pretty much to the “T” (short for Travis) when coming up with the idea for, launching, and then marketing my Daily Email Habit offer.

I haven’t checked the numbers this month yet, but that offer has definitely made me over $25k in the few months it’s been running.

#3. Via lurking in Travis’s Royalty Ronin Skool community, I got clued into an under-the-radar media buyer named Travis Speegle, who is also inside Ronin and is also a Travis Sago acolyte.

Travis Speegle has a course on media buying for growing your email list called MyPeeps, which at some point was being promoted in Ronin.

I bought MyPeeps, went through it, saw it was a great course.

I then reached out to Travis (Speegle) via DM on Skool and proposed I promote his course to my list. He agreed. We did the promo last September.

The result was about $25k in sales, and my cut was somewhere between $10k and $12k (it wasn’t an even 50%, because Travis created the course with Ryan Lee, and I guess has to pay out Ryan some residuals for each new sale).

Add all up all three of the above — and you get over $60k I attribute directly either to ideas I got from Travis, or through being inside the Royalty Ronin community, however mole-like my behavior there might be.

Would I have made some of this money in other ways had I not been in Travis’s world?

Sure. But there’s no doubt in my mind that I have made much more as a result of being in Travis’s Royalty Ronin, and of having gone through his courses — some several times — than the amounts I’ve paid Travis for that access. In fact, I’ve made many times more. Probably 10x, if not 20x.

And that’s why I keep promoting Royalty Ronin to my list.

In fact, that’s why I promoted it to my list last year as well, even before there was an affiliate program — when I had no self-interest in promoting it, other than being the first to clue in my readers to a valuable resource.

And now for your money breakdown, or the lack of it:

Over the past year, I paid Travis Sago $3k for access to Ronin and the associated high-ticket courses. A few weeks ago, I paid him another $1k to renew my access for another year, early.

You, on the other hand, don’t have to make any such dramatic leap. That’s because of two changes that Travis introduced recently to how he charges for access to Royalty Ronin.

The first change is that Travis has started offering the option to sign up to Ronin monthly for $300, instead of yearly for $3k.

$300 is still very expensive if you don’t do anything with the info, or the connections, or with the inspiration available inside Ronin.

On the other hand, if you do apply it, it can be an investment that pays for itself — and quick.

But there’s also the second thing:

To make the decision even easier, and actually entirely risk-free, there’s now a week’s free trial if you’d like to join Ronin, look inside, and see if it’s for you.

If you think of Royalty Ronin like a fancy gym — where the equipment is world-class and trainers are very knowledgeable, but the real value is in the connections you make and motivation you get — then you can think of this week’s free trial as a guest pass you can take advantage of, thanks to my being a member already.

If you’d like to take advantage of your guest pass:
