$100 contest conclusions

by

Earlier this week, I ran a Battle Royale-style contest inside my Daily Email House community:

I asked House members to come up with public justifications for charging less than they could, as opposed to saying, “I’m just very affordable!” The last contestant standing (in a pool of blood and gore) would win a grand prize of $100.

The results of the contest:

112 comments in a little over 24 hours (a number of those comments were mine, but still)…

… a really comprehensive list of “reasons to be cheap,” which I then collected and grouped inside a “Reasons To Be Cheap Playbook” and put in the course area…

… and most important, an increased chance that each of the House members who thought about this topic, and participated in the contest, and contributed their own ideas will remember all this the next time they are pricing their products or services. That means they are likely to do a better job with their next offer… sell more of it… and preserve or improve their standing instead of compromising it.

I recently went through an old training by marketer Travis Sago. As a throwaway, Travis said the following about groups:

===

The Facebook group [this training is so old that it was before Skool was invented] is not there for a sense of community. This is the biggest thing I learned this year. The Facebook group is there for your leadership.

===

I’m telling you all this in case you yourself run a group, whether on Facebook or on Skool or somewhere else. Consider Travis’s insight above, that your group is about your leadership and not a sense of community. Try this idea on for size, and see if it changes how you interact with your members and run things in your group.

I can tell you I’ve started doing this consciously, and will be doing more of it in the future.

One way is via more contests like the above.

The goal is not just to throw away money in the hope of getting a bunch of comments or group “engagement.”

The goal is to gradually get more House members results — new and different kinds of money-making promos, offers that sell at a price point you couldn’t imagine, list growth strategies that get buyers into your world.

I don’t mind paying $100 here and there to motivate people to participate, take the first steps to getting big results, and inspire others, because — well, I’ve got self-serving reasons up my sleeves. But my self-interest and your self-interest can be aligned, and that’s what I’m working on.

If you’d like to be a member of Daily Email House when the next Battle Royale contest goes down, here’s where to go:

I’m affordable = I wanna steal your money

by

I read a “serves you right” story yesterday:

News broke a few days ago that the Ledger X, a specific and popular make of crypto wallet, a physical device meant to store your bitcoins, memecoins, and shitcoins, was compromised somewhere along the supply chain.

The wallets were tampered with and a little mechanism was added, which transmits your crypto secrets to somebody out there in this dark world and wide, and drains all the crypto that you were foolish enough to store in the Ledger X.

I say foolish enough because, according to the article I read:

“Tampered devices were available for nearly half the price of the original hardware.”

Point being, you don’t want to buy for cheap, because you get what you pay for.

Likewise, you don’t want to sell for cheap, because savvy customers, the one you want to have for the long term, know you get what you pay for, and will therefore avoid cheap.

And before you come at me with your counterexamples of things that were cheap but good, or pricey but bad — yes. This rule of thumb of thumb might not be 100% accurate. But in the words of Travis Sago, it is 100% useful.

I’m telling you all this because in my Daily Email House community, Community Shogun Chris Dyson asked, “What’s the ONE part of your process your customers seem to struggle with the most?”

I made a list of four different things that I think my customers struggle. #2 on my list was, “They are reluctant to raise their prices and frequently undercharge.”

Like I said, you don’t want to sell for cheap. Ideally, that means you raise your prices, up to and even including being the most expensive in your niche.

However, if you are reluctant to do that yet, then at least stop selling yourself as being cheap.

Yes, you can charge less than the going rate if you must. But give it another reason than “because I’m affordable” — otherwise smart customers will suspect you are actually trying to steal their money in some secret way, like the half-price crypto wallet did and does.

Good news is, there are dozens of possible justifications you can give for charging a lower rate than the rest of the market. If you wanna see some of them:

The real psychology behind the most famous USP of all time

by

A few days ago, I did a poll in my Daily Email House community, asking members what comes to mind when I say, “Most overused marketing case study of all time.”

I had one overused case study in mind, but I wanted to see what others would say. Some of what came up:

Claude Hopkins’s campaign for Schlitz beer…

David Ogilvy’s powerful promotion of the impressively loud Rolls-Royce electric clock…

The Wall Street Journal’s “Two young men” sales letter.

Finally, architect and copywriter Neil Sutton got the one I was thinking of:

“First one that came to my mind was the Domino’s Pizza as the ultimate example of a USP.”

Yes! That in my mind is the most overused marketing case study. It’s famous and has been told and retold, generation after generation, in books, courses, and from the stage:

“Fresh hot pizza in 30 minutes, or it’s free! Nobody said nothing about ‘good’ or ‘good for you’! Haha! Such a great USP!”

So why doesn’t Domino’s use this USP any more?

On May 25, 1990, Susan Wauchop, aged 41, was driving on a local road near Granger, Indiana. She got hit head on by a speeding Domino’s van that was coming from the other direction and had lost control. Wauchop died a few hours later. Her family was awarded $2.8 million in damages.

That didn’t stop Domino’s incentivizing their delivery drivers to speed. But a much larger settlement did. In 1993, a woman who suffered serious head and spine injuries after being hit by a Domino’s driver who sped through a red light was awarded $79 million in damages.

A few days after that settlement, Domino’s CEO Tom Moynihan announced the 30-minute guarantee was abolished, in the interest of public safety and corporate profits.

Today, I wanna tell you about an innovation that Domino’s introduced in the coming years, because it relates to that famous USP, and it relates to what you are doing. Yes, you. Right now.

Whatever business you are in, however advanced or new you are to it, what I’m about to tell you is relevant to you, and is certainly the most valuable thing anybody has told you today… possibly this month (it’s only the 3rd…) or maybe even this whole year (it’s a stretch, but maybe).

Ready?

In the mid 2000s, Domino’s conducted a study of the emotions involved in ordering and waiting for a pizza. From a contemporary article:

===

The “high” at the point of ordering was followed by a trough of anxiety. “People have told us that anxiety sets in. They don’t know if we’ve got their order, if we’ll get it right, if it will arrive on time,” said spokesman Tim McIntyre.

===

Domino’s described the customer experience of ordering a simple pepperoni pizza as an “emotional rollercoaster.”

It makes sense when you think about it.

You (and yours) are hungry… you have to decide (or agree!) what you would want to eat… you finally do decide… you take action and order… you throw up your arms to signal victory, and then… nothing. You have to wait, and can’t do anything about it. Not only that, but you have complete uncertainty about when, if, by whom, or to what extent you will ever be satisfied.

So maybe the famed Domino’s 30-minute guarantee wasn’t really about speed. Maybe it was just about certainty, or rather, about eliminating uncertainty.

Domino’s took this insight and asked themselves, “How can we use this to make money, without killing or maiming people in the process?”

The answer was the Domino’s Pizza Tracker®. Order a pizza, then go to a webpage that that tracks your specific pizza and how it’s progressing:

Order received => pepperoni distributed => oven being preheated, we should have done this earlier => pizza put on that big flat wooden shovel => pizza burned a little, but ok => cardboard box => out the door

Result?

Well, It worked. Big time.

When the Domino’s Pizza Tracker came out, people love-love-loved it.

Moms, who had been dealing with screaming and nagging children, loved it in particular. “I used to want to throttle my little boy,” one mother said (I’m dramatizing a bit). “Now I just sit him in front of the computer screen to watch the Domino’s Pizza Tracker®. He is hypnotized and more importantly quiet until the pizza arrives. This is the best thing ever!”

The Domino’s Pizza Tracker upped sales, particularly online sales. It led to higher average order values. It led to more loyal customers. Twenty years on, the tracker is still in existence, and billions of people used it to track billions of pizzas.

Point being, uncertainty is a really horrible feeling for your customers to experience. As a result, uncertainty is really horrible for you too — it kills sales, cause refunds, sinks brands.

And vice versa. Eliminating uncertainty is good for business.

The Domino’s Pizza Tracker gives you one simple idea, something you can apply in your own business in some way today, to reduce uncertainty.

Of course, there are different kinds of uncertainty, and different ways to deal with that uncertainty.

Travis Sago, the guy I keep hyping up because I think he is the second coming of Claude Hopkins, talks about 5 kinds of uncertainty or risk you want to reduce for people under the acronym TIMER.

You can’t always eliminate all five. But the more you can eliminate, the richer you get, and the easier the process becomes.

I normally promote Travis’s very expensive Royalty Ronin community, of which I am a member.

Today, no. I want to minimize your uncertainty of joining a new, overwhelming, expensive community, and trying to integrate yourself there.

Instead, I will just point you to Travis’s book, Make ‘Em Beg To Buy From You, which you can get on Amazon.

Fair warning: This is not a particularly elegant or well-written book.

In fact, I don’t think it’s really written at all. Most of it is bits of wisdom that seem to be transcribed from Travis’s live trainings.

But the ideas in this book are gold, if you only take a bit of time to go through it and to really hear what Travis is saying, such as the five kinds of uncertainty, the TIMER risks, which you can find in Chapter 3.

Last call for Cold Outreach Fastlane

by

“People say, you can drag a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink. B.S. You just have to give it enough salt.”
— Travis Sago

This is the last email I will send before I pull my Cold Outreach Fastlane offer, which will happen later tonight, at 11:59 pm PST.

Cold Outreach Fastlane tells you how 4 (+1) copywriters, marketers, and business owners are successfully getting business via cold outreach, right now.

At the heart of their approach is the Travis Sago insight above.

Maybe you can figure out how to extrapolate that insight to your particularly situation. If not, you can find how other folks have done it and are doing it right now inside Cold Outreach Fastlane, if you act before it disappears in a few hours.

In case you’ve missed my previous 3 emails, here are the details on this disappearing offer.

Over the past week, I interviewed 4 people who are getting clients via cold outreach. Among them:

#1. A super young copywriter, without much previous experience, from a non-English-speaking country, who started doing cold outreach two months ago, and who has since gotten two ongoing clients in the US and UK, one for creative strategy and the other for email marketing…

#2. A business owner who makes $12k-$18k in profit every month by sending out a 3-word email to prospects who don’t know him from Adam’s housecat…

#3. An experienced copywriter who used to hire a cold outreach agency, and who has now taken things into her own hands, and is getting on 1-2 calls with dream clients every week on average with her “mind-numbingly simple” cold outreach…

4. A marketing consultant with a unique and very impressive take on cold outreach (I was impressed) that has been a steady source of $20k-$500k client relationships since he left his previous in-house position and started working for himself.

I also interviewed one more guy.

This dude is getting better results from cold outreach, with less effort, than all the above people combined.

But right away, this dude told me he is “slightly terrified of becoming The Cold Outreach Guy™. I use it, but I’m more the convo guy really 😂 Outreach gets you through the front door. I’m much more interested in what happens once someone answers and there’s an actual human being on the other side.”

So that’s what we talked about on the interview:

How to make deals/offers people are willing to say yes to… how to move the conversation along when people actually express tentative interest to your initial outreach… and where people who are new to this flub it up.

I have packaged up all 4+1 of these interviews (4 on cold outreach, one on having convos and moving things along) into an offer I am calling Cold Outreach Fastlane.

Because, the way I see it, there are two reasons people fail with cold outreach:

1. Their cold outreach system sucks (eg. “Hello Sir, may I send a quote?), or

2. They lack belief that their system (which might be perfectly legit) works, and so they give up too soon.

Cold Outreach Fastlane fixes both of these problems.

It tells you 4 different cold outreach systems that are working right now (well 5, but let’s keep that a secret between you and me), plus you get to see the lovely faces and hear the inspiring case studies of the people for whom those systems are working right now.

You know what that does for you?

It tells you what to do, and more importantly and valuably, it gives you belief that you too can succeed, so you don’t get frustrated at your lack of certainty along the way and give up too soon.

Cold Outreach Fastlane: If you are doing cold outreach today, or considering starting it tomorrow, it will get you to where you want to go faster and more smoothly.

And now the price.

Cold Outreach Fastlane is now available to you for the shocking and frankly outrageous price of free.

Well, you have to make an investment. But then you get Cold Outreach Fastlane for free.

What you have to invest in is a ticket to Parker Worth’s upcoming training, Cold Gold.

Parker and his business partner have been running a cold email agency for a while. They are getting results for their clients, including and up to the storied “the outreach was working so well that we asked Parker to stop because we had trouble talking to all the qualified leads.”

On Cold Gold, Parker is gonna give you the details of the cold email system he himself uses to get leads for his agency clients, so you can do use it too if you like. Consider it one more cold outreach system + success case study, a bonus to what I’ve prepared for you inside Cold Outreach Fastlane.

If you wanna take me up on Cold Outreach Fastlane, here’s what to do:

1. Go to this page: ​https://bejakovic.com/coldgold​

2. Invest $99 for a ticket to Parker’s upcoming Cold Gold training

3. Forward me your confirmation email BEFORE tonight, Thursday, at 11:59pm PST, and I will get you access to Cold Outreach Fastlane. (NB: the cart for Parker’s training will remain open for the rest of this week. But my offer for Cold Outreach Fastlane is only good until end of day today. It can make sense to act now if you want it.)

Why I won’t promote your paid community

by

Yesterday, I promoted Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin, a paid community. A reader who also has a paid community wrote in to ask:

===

Ronin is $111/mo. Mine is [a similar price]. If I invite you to be a lifetime member and provided you like what I’ve built inside, would you consider promoting it?

===

I appreciate the offer, and the answer is, I would not consider promoting this dude’s paid community, or really, anybody else’s paid community.

The fact is, it’s close to impossible to promote somebody else’s paid community with any success. Because of this, the promise of money isn’t much of a promise at all. I only keep promoting Travis’s thing because I’m a true believer, because I’m in the community myself and get a lot out of it.

If I did promote somebody else’s paid community primarily because I was hoping to get paid, I would do it the way Travis is preparing to auction off a recurring affiliate offer now inside Royalty Ronin.

Travis will be offering people a “Hero Package,” which provides a sexy outcome and overcomes all or most of the objections people might have when they are promised that outcome.

He’s gonna sell that Hero Package, rather than the continuity offer. He will make the continuity offer simply the condition for getting what people really want.

Of course, this model is well-known.

The magic is the way that Travis puts together his Hero Packages so that people are willing to pay 5x, 10x, 20x of whatever the underlying subscription might cost.

If you would like to observe Travis in action as he does this, and learn something you can use to promote recurring offers, whether your own or from affiliates:

Creating value out of things that others would never think of

by

I’m at the airport as I write this, on my way to Budapest, my former home, for a reunion with friends I had when I lived there a long time ago.

Right now, I’m sitting on a tiny stool at an airport restaurant, about to bite into a refrigerated airport sandwich, crowded on the one side by a pushy French couple and on the other by cleaning woman with a large broom.

That’s the good part of my current trip.

The bad part is that I just spent 25 minutes waiting in line for the privilege of paying 48 euro to get my boarding pass.

I’m flying low-cost, and I didn’t check in online before the three-hours deadline mandated by this low-cost airline. When I tried to check in online a few hours ago, I was told I would have to do it at the airport, and pay.

It’s annoying when this happens on a low-cost flight, and yet it is instructive.

The fact is, all kinds of things can be turned into value that normally aren’t.

It feels petty when low-cost airlines do it, but it can be done in ways that don’t feel petty, but in fact feel the opposite — generous, exciting, convenient.

Imagine you’re buying a house.

Nominally, you’re paying for the keys and the right to move in.

You can buy a “low-cost” house, which gives you the keys and the right to move in, but which doesn’t have lightbulbs, windows, or running water, and you have to pay extra for those.

Conversely, can buy a “premium” house, which gives you not just the bare keys and the right to move in, but which has been furnished by an interior designer, comes with a concierged security service, and has a fridge stocked with food from Whole Foods.

Ultimately, it’s the same business practice, the only difference is the positioning of your business as upmarket or downmarket.

Maybe you’re munching on your own refrigerated sandwich right now and mumbling, “Right right…”

… but maybe you don’t see how this idea from real estate and the airline industry can apply to what you do, specifically to creating offers that you can sell to your audience.

For that, I’d like to invite you to sign up for a trial to my perennial recommendation, the Royalty Ronin community.

Travis Sago, the guy who runs Ronin, is the best person I have ever seen at creating value out of things that others would never think of.

Right now, Travis is preparing to auction off a year of a SaaS, which he is promoting as an affiliate.

In other words, Travis will ask people how much they would pay… to have him pay their bill for a year of this software service.

How do you possibly auction off something not unique, with a known and fixed value? And how do you auction it off for 5x, 10x, 20x of what it is currently selling for on the website of the SaaS company?

For that, I invite you to sign up to Ronin, and to follow along as Travis proceeds to build up his premium offer, out of elements that might seem like air to you right now:

How to grow a Skool group to 500+ members in 14 days

by

Yesterday, I sent out a handraiser email asking my readers if they have a Skool group with 500+ members. Results:

A handful people replied to tell me NO.

Precisely ZERO people replied to tell me YES.

I found that surprising, because a few weeks ago, I sent out similar handraiser email and asked my readers if they have an email list of 5k+ subscribers.

I got dozens of people replying YES to that.

Maybe some of my readers have Skool groups with fewer than 500 members. Maybe they have groups on other platforms than Skool. Or maybe folks on my list are primarily concerned with email, and have no interest in running a group, on Skool or anywhere else.

About that last option, back in 2025, I wrote the following:

“The people who do a good job running communities will have the same advantage that, say, a business that emails its customers regularly with interesting emails and desirable offers has over a business that emails stupid coupons at holiday time with nothing else in between, except maybe a ChatGPT-generated listicle.”

I still stand by that. In fact, I’ve doubled down on it, and now I have two Skool groups, rather than just one. Each of my Skool groups has made me tens of thousands of dollars over the past year.

The thing is, there is plenty of genuinely valuable info on how to write emails and make money from an email list.

There is not so much info on how to manage people in a group, get them engaged, and get them to gladly and even eagerly hand you money.

Yes, there are a bunch of new-baked Skool experts promising to teach you how to be Skool experts, if you would only join their Skool group for would-be Skool experts. so they could finally have some proof to show their Skool-expert system works.

But there’s not a lot from people who have been running groups for, say, 10+ years, who have made millions of dollars per year via groups, who have spun up dozens of new groups and made them successful.

And with that, it is now time for me to once again promote Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin community, of which I am a card-carrying and paying member myself.

Travis has been running groups and communities for 10+ years.

Out of everybody I have seen manage groups, nobody is as good as Travis in terms of 1) engagement and interesting group content 2) the ability to pull money out of a group.

Travis’s Royalty Ronin community is a paid group of about 500 members. Last year, Travis pulled out more than a million dollars out of it, and the majority of that was not through membership subscriptions. Rather, it was by partnering up with members, licensing his courses to members, and by running auctions to sell his new offers.

Last month, Travis ran an auction where the offer on auction was a brand new community that Travis would create, stocked with 500 members, which the auction winner would run and monetize with Travis’s help.

Two days ago, the winner of that auction posted the following inside Ronin:

===

$540 monthly recurring. 519 members. 15% conversion.

From scratch. In 14 days.

That’s what Travis Sago’s Netflix Method did for Leads on Demand, the Skool community we built from zero (I say we…Travis is building…I’m doing the documenting!)

If you’ve got a community that’s gone quiet, or you’ve been putting one off because you just don’t know where to start, this is the step-by-step.

===

… and then came the step-by-step (part 1 of 4).

I am going through this step-by-step carefully, and I am going to be applying it to my groups.

If you’d like to go through it yourself, Travis offers a 7-day free trial to Ronin (the “Netflix Method” is currently pinned as the top post inside). If you are interested in growing, running, or monetizing a Skool community, and you want to learn how the best that I know is doing it:

How I run 36-hour promos that make between $2-$6 per newsletter subscriber

by

This morning I woke up unusually late, at 9:30am. As soon as I came out of the bat cave that is my bedroom and into the blinding light of the living room, I opened my laptop and turned off the shopping cart for the Age of Insight promo, which had been running for the past 36 hours.

The results of the promo:

* 27 sales

* 8 of those 27 paid in full

* $8,100 total ($4,200 collected, $3,900 in future payments)

Good? Bad?

In my book, whenever I can make $1k from my email list in a day, I figure it’s been a good day at the office. And by “office,” I mean the couch.

In this case, the promo effectively ran for 3 days – one announcement day to pre-sell the offer, and two days of actually selling. I’ve collected $1,400 per day already, and will be collecting more in next couple months (my readers have diligently paid me whenever I’ve offered payment plans).

This is the third such 36-hour promo I have run.

All in all, I have made $31,312 from these three 36-hour promos. That’s 31k I ascribe to a single idea, common to all 3 of these promos, which I got from marketer Travis Sago.

About that, I’ve prepared a report I’ve creatively titled:

“How I run 36-hour promos that make between $2-$6 per newsletter subscriber”

This report summarizes what I’ve done in these 3 promos, and tells you how (and when) you might be able to do the same.

I’m willing to give you this report for free. I’m wanting to give it to you for free. I’m WAITING to give it to you for free.

Here’s the deal:

Like I said, these 36-hour promos were all built around a single idea I got from marketer Travis Sago.

If you are interested in running money-making email promos, whether for yourself or for clients or partners, then you should be in Travis’s world, because the man has many excellent ideas, not just this one. I estimate that, all in all, implementing Travis’s stuff over the past few years has been worth on the order of $200k to me.

Travis’s world today is a paid Skool group called Royalty Ronin. I myself am a paying member, and I keep promoting it because it keeps making me money.

Ronin has a 7-day free trial.

My deal to you today is:

1. Sign up for the Ronin free trial using the link below

2. Read the “Welcome! Plz START HERE” post linked to in the sidebar

3. Introduce yourself in the comments to that post

4. Send me an email or a Skool DM to let me know you’ve done steps 1-3

That’s it. Do this and I’ll hook you up with my “How I run 36-hour promos that make between $2-$6 per newsletter subscriber” report.

This offer is good for the next 24 hours, until tomorrow, Sunday, at 8:30pm CET.

If you’d like to make more money from your email list, or from the email lists of others:

https://bejakovic.com/ronin

P.S. If you’re already in Ronin, my offer extends to you. So does the deadline. Just write me and let me know you want the report before the deadline, and I’ll get it to you.

Fantastic copywriting skills considered harmful

by

Point 1:

A couple days ago, I asked people in my Skool group what offer they want to make to their list in the next week.

Many of the folks in my group are copywriters, and many of those who aren’t copywriters by trade still know a lot about copywriting because they do marketing for their own businesses.

When I asked about offers, there was talk of things like:

* 1-1 coaching

* Courses, full or condensed

* A research system

* Longform sales pages

* 5-minute trainings and hour-long workshops

* Order bumps

Point 2:

Today, I went into Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin community.

I am a paying, card-carrying member of Ronin. I’ve been making a habit of promoting it, and and easy way to promote it is simply to go in there every week and see what’s up.

Today, I saw a post by Travis about auctions, specifically about a recent auction that made $50k in 24 hours. Here’s the relevant bit, relevant to that offers discussion above, and relevant if you sell online:

===

Because the Fun Auction…

Does NOT require fantastic copywriting skills.

The CORE is…

Get ______________! Bids start at $1.

The BLANK is something they REALLY, REALLY WANT, which is worth far more than $1.

It’s funny to me…

That TRAINED copywriters fuck this up more than newbies.

NOBODY WANTS a proven system, coaching, 1:1, orthodontist services, drills or an AUCTION BTW!

If what’s in the blank…for $1…doesn’t make their HEART do a flip…find something that will squirt dopamine into the lizard brain.

===

Travis is saying you don’t need fantastic copywriting skills to sell VIA AUCTION, and that copywriting skills might even be harmful.

I’d add that this goes way beyond auctions.

I’ve seen people with a lot of copywriting skill, whether professional copywriters or business owners, who have spent tens of thousands of dollars to learn copywriting, do a terrible job of selling online.

Most often, the reason why they are so terrible at selling is what Travis says above. They focus on couldn’t-care-less deliverables rather than outcomes that make people’s heart do a flip. (I’ve made this mistake myself, btw, plenty of times.)

Point 3:

Last December, I ran an auction in my Skool group that pulled in $31k in 24 hours, and that could have legit pulled $70k+ had I just taken the money that was offered me.

The reason that auction popped was, like Travis says above, the BLANK that people REALLY, REALLY WANTED.

When I polled for interest in my blank, I got about 50 people saying they would bid to get it, with 6-7 people saying they would bid whatever it takes to win. A couple of people even said they might take out a zero-interest credit card to be able to bid enough to win (I discouraged this, even if it was said in jest).

Lemme wrap this up.

If you have an audience and a working offer, my ongoing offer is to help you run an auction, and do everything:

* Craft a HEART-FLIPPING auction offer

* Come up with post-auction offers that move those deliverables you got and focus on, the 1-1 coaching, the courses, the 5-minute trainings and hour-long workshops

* Write all copy (I’ll keep my fantastic copywriting skills in check)

* Run and manage the auction itself

* Sell, sell, sell after, to the people have raised their hands by bidding

IMPORTANT: I charge nothing up front. For every $10,000 I send you in sales, shoot over $2500 to me AFTER the money is in your bank account.

If you’re interested, hit reply and we can talk more.

And if you don’t have an audience or a working offer, specifically if you’re a working copywriter…

… you would be served well by seeing how Travis creates and presents his own offers.

It will make you into a more valuable copywriter, and clients will be willing to pay you much more, and will fight to keep you working with them… instead of you having to chase them for a little gig here or maybe there, today and maybe again in five months’ time.

But more important, if you get good at creating offers, then when you try to sell your own stuff, you will have a real shot of getting 50 people to reply YES and even a few people who say they will pay whatever it takes… rather than hearing crickets, seeing tumbleweeds, and feeling the chill of a desolate wind.

I’ve learned more about offers from Travis than anybody else.

If you wanna learn something also, Travis offers a 7-day free trial to Royalty Ronin. 7 days is not long, but it’s enough to pick up one or two good ideas that you can implement for your client (or yourself) today, and it can give you a sense if Ronin is for you. If you’re interested:

Likes are cash, but better

A while back (and now for all I know), there was an online business guru who built his brand on the slogan:

“Likes ain’t cash”

Except, likes are cash, or actually better, at least if you know where to look.

Today is Monday, which is quickly turning into my day to promote Travis Sago’s Royalty Ronin community, of which I myself am a paying member, and have been a member for over two years.

Travis’s Ronin community is about making money online.

It’s very engaged, just as it is, even though the entire group is only about 500 members. People post and comment a lot every day, as does Travis.

And yet, Travis will soon be running a month-long contest to get members to post even more, to comment even more, to engage even more.

The winners will be determined by — you guessed it — likes.

As for the prizes, they will come in the form of licensing rights to Travis’s IP (most of his courses and trainings sell for $2k+), in the form of distribution to Travis’s audiences (I’m guessing Ronin, plus Travis’s other Skool communities, and maybe his email list), as well as Travis’s help running the campaign.

In other words, the winner will get a product to sell… an audience to sell it to… and Travis’s help in selling it. And frankly, I don’t know anybody online who is as good at running sales campaigns as Travis is.

Insert a saying here about how you cannot lead a horse to water, but you can teach him how to fish—

—you know what I mean. Cash is nice. But cash + evergreen assets + newfound knowledge on how to sell those assets is much nicer.

Of course, there’s great value in winning Travis’s contest even without the official prizes.

If you don’t know what that value is, then you must be less of an egomaniac than I am.

All I can say is, I myself keep swinging back and forth between the idea of not participating in Travis’s challenge (I have enough to do already, without competing in a contest that involves lots of posting and commenting) and participating in it (I would love to win, just so I can inflate my ego, and the prizes genuinely sound nice).

Anyways, I’m telling you all this for two reasons:

1. Reason one is to promote Ronin. Maybe you are curious to see this contest unfold. Or maybe you yourself want to go into Ronin, and start implementing some of the stuff that Travis teaches there, and report on your results. In my experience, that kind of content always gets the most likes. If you dedicate yourself to it for a month, you have a legit shot at winning, and you have a legit shot at making tens of thousands of dollars even if you don’t win, simply by implementing what Travis teaches.

2. Along with being an expert in running sales campaigns, Travis is also an expert in community management. This challenge idea is one that you can try for your own community in order to boost engagement and to get a ton of content generated for your group for free. (Travis has more such ideas inside Ronin.)

Anyways, Travis’s contest kicks off in a few days. If you’d like to try out Ronin, either to observe the contest from the sidelines, or better yet, to participate, Travis offers a free 7-day trial, which you can find here:

P.S. If you sign up for the trial to Ronin and then write a post inside the group to introduce yourself, write me a message and let me know. I have several bonuses with your name on them.
