In 2005... I joined a paid forum for affiliate marketers. (A forum was the "community" back in the day.) The owners did something really smart. They had a section of the forum where you could go in and pitch products. It was smart because it kept the pitches out of the rest of the forum. Despite the forum being full of buyers... Most people who posted their pitches made ZERO sales. There were some really talented copywriters in there. I tried my hand at it too. I'd post picture-perfect posts: *Here's what I got *Here's what it will do for you *Here's why you need this now Blah... Blah... I MIGHT make one or two sales. Then... Because I LOVE to experiment. I decided to throw out most of what I knew about copywriting. And do what came naturally... Like in a conversation. Instead of a big long azz sales pitch (which I'm not really against, but the timing needs to be right.) 👉I opened a CONVERSATION for IOIs 👉I looked for IOIs (Indicators of Interest as we've talked about here.) 👉I then CONTINUED the CONVERSATION 👉THEN I would make an INVITATION This was such a HUGE breakthrough... I still remember most of the numbers TWENTY YEARS LATER... The first product I did this with was a Google Ad Spy product, for which I got a $ 30-per-month commission. Here's roughly what happened: 💥I opened convos with roughly 50 people (from ONE post) 💥40 became "leads." 💥THIRTY PEOPLE BOUGHT! I remember the numbers because I remember I got $900 per month from that one convo opener campaign. The PRINCIPLES still work today! Because while Myspace, Tumblr, Squidoo and so many other things are in the rear view. Psychology doesn't change much. When I get an IOI and open a CONVERSATION... I can turn 50% or more of the IOIs into LEADS (Leads on Demand) And at least HALF of the leads turn into customers. (Sales on Demand) CURRENT EXAMPLE: Our first auction here in CFM: 9 out of 10 Flames are buying Leads On Demand and HALF of them are upgrading to Sales On Demand. (I think that'd be higher, but some folks have their sales process down and are pros already.)

Thaaaaank you for making our first community auction so FUN! Special thanks to @Leandro Langeani our high bidder! I’m excited to mix mojo with ya! Did you have fun? Rooting for Ya, Travis

PARTICIPATION BIDS can still win👇👇👇 Before you can haz all the sales you want... You gotta haZ LEADS! The other day... I shared the big secret to why I always have more leads than I can handle... 👉IOIs- I get Indicators of Interest FIRST. I shared ONE WAY to get IOI's. But there are several ways to get IOIs. One of my FAVORITES is Invisible IOIs. Where they don't even know you're getting an IOI and they don't even NEED to respond. That's why TODAY starting at 1 PM CENTRAL... We're having our first... 🏁EVERYONE CAN WIN (ECW) Auction Up for auction: 💥 Zoom FUN-Shop where I will get IOIs and turn them into LEADS on Zoom while you're watching. We'll brainstorm and get IOIs and leads for you if you want! We may even share beer! 🍻DRINKING CONTEST for every lead? 😅 Here's how our ECW Auction works: Bidding starts at $1. Bid amounts can only increase $10 max at a time. (You can increase bids less than $10, but $10 max so the auction stays fun!) 👀There is a SECRET RESERVE AMOUNT👀 If the RESERVE AMOUNT is hit. ✅EVERYONE who bids gets a ticket for the RESERVE AMOUNT (EVEN if the winning bid is MORE!) ❌If the RESERVE AMOUNT is NOT hit, then the highest bidder takes the whole enchilada. (So, they'd get a private 1:1 with me.) 🕐WHEN: START: NOW! END: ??? (When I think we've topped off.) ⚠️⚠️How will we know you're not gonna change the SECRET RESERVE AMOUNT? I'm glad ya asked! 😀 I've attached a password-protected PDF... ...download it now. Inside the PDF It is a picture of ONE United States currency note. HINT: It's ONLY ONE BILL Is it $1? Is it $5 Is it $10? Is it $20? Is it $50? Is it $100? $2? 😅 Could be any one of those, but it's ONLY ONE! AFTER the last bid in the auction... I will announce the PASSWORD…which will reveal the secret reserve amount. NOTE: I can't change it after you've downloaded the PDF! If the reserve is hit, you can get in on the Leads on Demand Fun-shop for the RESERVE AMOUNT. Make sense? 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Bad news. Good news sitch. Possible drinking contest! We couldn't drum up enough interest in a Leads on Demand Zoom shindig. Less than 100 handraisers out of 1300. But... A few Flames really, REALLY, want the mojo to be able to drive Leads on Demand whenever they want. I don't wanna leave them hanging. Sooooo... GOOD NEWS! I'm gonna hold an: 🏁EVERYONE CAN WIN (ECW) Auction Up for auction: 💥A Zoom FUN-Shop where I will get IOIs and turn them into LEADS on Zoom while you're watching.

My question for ya right now... 👉Would you bid AT LEAST $1?👈 Sound off 👇 Remember: I have very, very low self-esteem. If only 2 of y'all will bid $1, I'll just flush this auction down the toilet. 🚽😓

Self Rule for Shitheads? Autonomy is a NEED for me. I was programmed it was wrong and selfish. I was taught it wasn’t possible anyway. Just slap a label called “unsolvable” on the autonomy box forget about solving it and let others rule me. “Now follow MY rules!” Or… “Do what I want!” …almost always followed the discouragement to make my own rules in some fashion. My girlfriends (and others) wanted me to do what THEY wanted if I loved them. School wanted me to do well on tests, do college and trade my life for a wage so THEY would have stats to brag about. The guvmint, banks, car manufacturers and numerous other shittery manufacturers want me deeply in debt bondage to cushion their profits and power. The guvmint also wants me dependent on them for my healthcare, retirement income, safety and security. Just give up my self rule and responsibilty. Don’t worry. We love you. Now let us have your son so we can send him off to war. Fortunately… My soul starved for autonomy so desperately I was miserable. “Like being told food is “bad” for you - now give it to me!” When the torture got unbearable… I just said “Fuck it. I’m doing it my way. How much fucking worse could it be?” If I died a miserable shithead at least it was my own damn fault! Turns out… …for me Autonomy was like vitamin C after suffering with scurvy for decades. Every area of my life healed. But… I don’t run a “business” like I’m “supposed” to… I don’t run my personal finances by the book. I’m not a “good” husband or father by society’s standards. I certainly don’t need some mother fucker to tell me how to be a real man. And the worst of the worst? I’ve watched Breaking Bad four times! I may be a shithead, but I’m a happy shithead! Now… For fuck’s sake… Don’t take anything in this post as a rule for YOU to follow. Except watch Breaking Bad at least once! 😆 Rooting for Ya, Travis
