Thanks mate @Dave Hughes
They told me this Business Idea wouldn't work... 🤔
They told me that I was wasting time- and to go out and SALE... 🤔 "Why aren't you reaching out to people to sell what you have, Aimee? You know you need to actually get out there and get eyes on your stuff for people to buy it, don't you?" ME: "Well, I spend my days researching and refining ✨GOLD✨ from the Gold Mine in My Mind, lol... AKA I create the best material involving The Science of Why People Buy- using Human Behavior, Neuroscience, Neuromarketing, and stuff. I don't juggle CREATION AND OUTREACH well. A business has many hats and I'm always wearing the hat where I create material that works for the clients, instead of going out there and getting clients." Now, here's a relevant truth... Everybody and their brother NO MATTER WHAT PROFESSION THEY ARE IN needs to learn sales skills, because buying is simply making a decision. We buy all of the time- we sell to ourselves every time we make a decision throughout the day. I figured out the hard way that NO MATTER WHAT MY DREAM JOB WAS I needed to learn sales skills in order to succeed in it. ANY OCCUPATION WITHOUT EXCEPTION NEEDS SALES SKILLS FOR IT TO THRIVE. 💯 So, here's where the business idea comes into play... 🤔 I'm not good at juggling all of the business hats. And there are other people who aren't good at juggling all of the business hats out there too... They need to know how to sell well and their clients need to know how to sell well. What if I keep making loads of material for my group, but I position the selling point/ the incentive to join as: "Hey, I'm an absolute expert at Marketing and Sales. I upload 1-3 minute videos called Daily Dose of ₵ents, multiple slides, and lessons on sales every day in my group. For as long as you are a member in my group- you get to take any of my group's material and host it in your own group. Of course, my Second Nature Selling™ brand name is still attached to the material you share in your group. Think of it like being a member of my group means you are paying ROYALTIES to use the whole library of content I create daily for your own clients. You get to up your own sales skills with proven science-based methods to sell faster and with more depth, certainty, and ease... and YOUR CLIENTS GET THE BENEFITS of upping their skills to- thanks to you. You clients will be able to stop searching for what works when it comes to marketing and sales, they'll be able to focus on your services that you offer instead of drifting away to find out how to sell well before coming back to you to focus on what you are presenting to them, you'll have tons of material to present to your clients daily without racking your brain about what value to post- AKA this is a way to present beneficial knowledge to your clients daily while you focus on selling your own main offer. You essentially become a partner to me. We divvy up the work in that: I research and design premium quality "lessons" on marketing and sales that have the benefit of not being boring while at the same time being DEEP AND EFFECTIVE and you take what I make and use it to benefit both your clients and yourself. You present them with worldclass lessons and get to focus on what matters for your clients and you."

I think the curation point is useful here, @Paulo Costa, The Roaster . Aimee, I’d test this with one community owner and one specific member problem first: three relevant lessons, a suggested order and a discussion prompt for each. Then see what they actually use and whether it saves them time. That gives you a concrete example to show the next person, rather than asking them to imagine how 91 videos would fit their group.

@Aimee Jardon Ah, understood 😊 You’re testing whether owners would buy ready-to-use guest-expert content. I’d lead with “Sales mini-lessons you can host in your community, without creating them yourself”, then show an example that fits one community’s topic. “Royalty Revenue” makes me wonder who receives the royalties.
Where is the grill?
If you just joined Roast & Promote you might be a little confused on how to roast others and become the roaster of the week. This post explain the point system, but you don't need to worry about that to win. Basically every post that I and the members make, except for post tagged as admin posts are roast requests (or marketing research posts if you want opinions instead of critiques). Engage with the posts giving insightful, detailed, unique and helpful answers and you will climb up the ranks. There is a point system but it only exists so my judgement is fair and not arbitrary, you don't need to worry about it. If you want to game the system, be the first one to roast someone or roast the post that is currently pinned, that will multiply your points. The winner will get promoted at the very top for 7 days and also have other posts calling discussions on their niche where they are also linked. And you also get shoutouts during the week if you're among the top 3. Like those champions are right now: 1st 🥇@Roberto Srpak : 84 points - Want to make real money with high ticket offers? OBB1 Community Navigator and OBB1 Community Navigator /Pro are the places you want to be! 🥈 @LaToya Wiggins: 52 points - LaToya helps people build offers, sharpen skills, and grow profitable, purpose-driven businesses at The Gem Vault

Yes, these directions make it clearer, @Paulo Costa, The Roaster 😄 Especially knowing that posts outside the Admin category are invitations for feedback. A direct link to the current pinned roast near the top would make the first step even easier: read this, then go here and help someone.

@Paulo Costa, The Roaster Fair point 😄 A rotating link would create extra upkeep. I meant making the first action explicit: “Pick one of the pinned roast requests and leave one specific improvement.” That stays useful as the pins change.
YOU HAVE THE STORY. I’LL HELP YOU MONETISE IT.
@Paulo Costa, The Roaster I need help. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about where I go next with my Skool of Food Writing. I’m exploring a major evolution: a title idea: Publish for Profit. The goal is simple: Stop writing for free. It’s about mastering the exact pitching, publishing, and monetisation systems you need to earn real income from your words. That is, without PR agencies, vanity fees, or traditional gatekeepers. Whether that means landing paid bylines, self-publishing books, or launching a paid blog, the focus shifts to creating tangible financial returns. Before I build out the new roadmap, I want to research what level coaching and guidance will be needed. So: what type of feedback or support would you expect most from Publish for Profit? Here are some ideas: How to write a book proposal that gets you the job How to find a subject for a non-fiction book that sells Slef-publishing on Amazon with zero upfront costs Pitch and draft audits Your thoughts and feedback would sincerely be appreciated.

@Gwynne Conlyn Roberto’s example gives you someone specific to build for: a person preserving a parent’s recipes and stories. I’d test a small workshop where they leave with one finished recipe-and-story page before rebuilding the community around it.
