After seeing my Auction Heroes crank out one six figure auction after another… I’m getting more questions about auctions: 👉 Will an auction work for my community or business? 👉 What would I auction? 👉 Do I have to be on camera and become an auctioneer? 👉 What if the auction ends with a super low bid? 👉 Can I run an auction on my email list? FB profile? Insta? X? YT channel? I’m considering doing an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Auctions. Where I’d answer all those questions. And brainstorm with folks on what they could auction off for 5 or 6 figures in 24 hours or less. If I put on an Auction AMA… Would you come? Lemme know by posting your auction question 👇. You can steal one of the one’s from above. If I get enough interest I’ll make it happen. If not… I’m gonna rewatch The Shield or Breaking Bad! Rooting for Ya, Travis

When you run auctions with other people's audiences.. do you get acces to their personal account or admin account to make the posts and reply to comments on their behalf? Or simply from yours letting people know you're part of their team?

I ran my first pop-up auction yesterday inside my Skool community, The Alchemy Circle, and wanted to share the results and what I learned. For context, my group is made up of 68 members who are working through chronic symptoms, trauma healing, and nervous system regulation. I offered a full Alchemical Mapping Session. It’s the first step of my work with new clients, and normally $997. (1:1 consultation, usually about 3 hours duration). It helps someone trace their symptoms and patterns back to one coherent root and gives them a clear next step. The auction ran from 10am to 2pm. I made a Loom walkthrough, kept the post simple (see attached), and followed the structure from the module. Outcome: I received one bid for $75. No other comments or likes/reactions. The low number brought up some things for me, especially about the vulnerability of offering deep work inside a quiet space. After sitting with it, here’s what I can see: • My community may not be used to auctions or public bidding. • They tend to be private processors. • Some likely watched quietly without engaging. • I am still calibrating how to introduce this format to them. • The single bid does not reflect the value of my work, just the unfamiliarity of the experiment. I’m treating this first run as a field-setter rather than a moneymaker. I’m following the recommended DM sequence... although the post-auction follow-up is tough since only one person participated. What I’d love feedback on: • For a very quiet, sensitive audience, what adjustments would you make? • Would you set a minimum bid next time? • Would you try a private-bid format instead of public commenting? • Anything you see in my process that I could refine? I’m committed to practicing this until it feels natural for both me and my community.

Hey Flames, I run a book club in Chandigarh (India) for entrepreneurs who read business/psychology books and actually apply them. We're 5-10 members. Meet twice monthly. Discussions go deep, sometimes until 1-2 AM. Zero networking BS. We have electric camaraderie. I want more peeps like them. Trying to grow from 10 to 20 members, so I ran FB/IG ads. What happened: 50,000+ people saw the ads. 194 clicked through to the Google Form application. 0 people filled it out. Not one. (no tech issues, i triple checked) The form isn't crazy: - Name, business type, location (multiple choice) - One paragraph question: "What's one business concept you're currently trying to implement?" - Culture fit question (multiple choice) - Phone number My theory: Maybe there's a trust gap. One ad had our meet photo, the other had a designed poster. Both got clicks. But when they land on the form, just questions, no context so they bounce. The ads seem decent.... (screenshots below). They were written to put browsers into problem state, starting with a question. Then telling them the benefits if they were to solve that problem. At last show them how our club is the vehicle for the solution. What I'm thinking: Build a Google Doc bridge between the ad and form. Going through @Travis Sago "2 Page Google Doc Cash Machine" training now to write it. G doc will show them what actually happens at our meets, who attends, culture, more photos. Shower them with our FUN meet photos, warm them up a lil. Group is 3 years old, so we have ton of pics. THEN send them to the form. Then ask them to experience a trial meeting. Trying to use Travis's "First Date" principal. Our culture will filter the networking types naturally. The movement piece: I created this community before I joined FIRE, so the movement isn't sharpened yet. That's a work in progress. Right now it's: "Entrepreneurs who implement books, not just read them." But I know it needs clarity.

I HATE when I see people complaining in the book reviews. About the PEARLS that an author share in his $20 book. Like "the book sucked because it only had the authors TOP TEN BEST SELLING email campaigns and no how tos.." (spoon feeding mentality) Or when they complain about the information as DATED Without even trying to relate the CONTEXT to its own life's situation or TIMING... I imagine a person with bottle bottom glasses trying to discover A WHOLE NEW WORLD without notice its already WALKING ON IT. (Or reading in this case..) This fragment from an OLD BOOK. "Few people appreciate free gifts. They are like the man whom admiring townsfolk presented with a watch. He looked it over critically for a minute. Then—”Where’s the chain?” he asked." Its all about VALUE DELIVERY, QUALITY CONTENT and what not. (Not talking about SEO purposes ) Hell! even my dog has a tiktok with tips on, how to find the right pole to pee... I honestly see it as a TON of BS because today freaking AI can spit out whatever and the perception of "value" is diluted. Its all about Bait.. reel .. release, repeat -- pull and catch!? --Or how do you manage to weight on what you give, what you charge for and how much? -- I get that about the value equation and I have a framework using the TIMER dimensions or Maslow's pyramid or LF8s... Probably Travis already talk about it or leave the breadcrumbs. But I would like hear your thoughts on the matter. You can tell me if I need to shut up about this stuff around here If it doesn't make sense or apply.
