All great adventures get started with one small step. @Tan Hopper and my 2-day-new Leads On Demand community is no different. SEE PIC. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS If you never want to go a day without leads...and be one of the first on our community journey...I invite you to come mix mojo with us here

A few months ago, Flame @Simon Campbell mentioned auctions to me but I didn't get it. Two weeks ago, Flame @Honey Syed hit me up cold in the DMs and gave me a smooth pitch about getting tons of engagement on a post, and offered a Loom. Between that and a short call afterward, he really opened my mind to what was possible. Thanks, Honey! I considered hiring him to help, but I've been around the block enough to know the bulk of the learning experience is best done by just jumping in, failing fast, learning, and going again. So I'm sharing a breakdown of my first auction, in hopes the good, bad, and ugly of what I tried (and why) is instructive for others in the community. I coach intermediate-level screenwriters to hit the pro level ASAP. I can generally increase screenplay development speed by 10x and had a client get nominated for an Oscar this year. I've sold 35+ coaching packages from $10K-$20K, 20+ masterminds at $1,500, and I'm running a low-ticket Skool community with about 75 members: Screenwriter Marketing I have 68K followers on X (it was 75K until Musk came along) 11K on LinkedIn 20K on IG for my community. I have almost 2K on my email list with an average of 250 opens. But they've been milked too much recently, so trust is a bit down. I first ran a test campaign with the list ("Crazy idea. Would you bid or watch an auction for my $10K coaching package, with bids starting at $1K?") and only 3 said they'd watch, one of whom said he MIGHT bid. With that tepid response, I first thought I'd call it off. BUT... then figured it was probably worth a shot - if I also reached out to about 30 warmer leads I'd spoken to earlier in the summer, and I lean in to my socials, and most importantly - if I could land at least one promotion partner. And... who knows? One partner signed on. I gave him the option of sending 1, 2, or 3 emails to his list for the 24-hour auction. I wrote the emails for him. He has maybe 1K good fit screenwriters on his list and holds a pretty engaged monthly meetup online for them. That community already knows me, and I've previously had a premium client come from it.

As you may know... @Tan Hopper won our last auction... And we started our new community yesterday. Called Leads On Demand - Never Go a Day Without Ready-to-Buy-Now Leads! We are #1 in Skool Discovery Check out the short video. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS We are still under construction, but if you'd like to join to see the process. It's free.

Plz don't shoot the messenger... There are two main ways to GET PAID... The poor and middle class... ... get paid for what they DO. "What do you DO?", is often one of the first questions they ask when meeting someone new. The rich... ...get paid for what they OWN They OWN something... And get paid a percentage just because they OWN IT. in 2026... Ownership of Digital Real Estate (DRE pronounced DRAY like Dr. Dre) Is available to almost anyone with a creative plan, courage and collaboration.... Making the transformation... From Getting Paid for DOING/Skills/trading time To Owning DRE (Digital Real Estate) Is a transformation that changes family legacies... My ancestors were amazing peeps... But they never OWNED much of anything because they were TAUGHT/PROGRAMMED to get paid for what they DO. After my father passed... One epiphany I had... Was changing my family's legacy was ON ME! I had to shift from getting paid for what I DO... To getting paid for what I OWN! One of the hallmarks of me making this shift... Was... during Covid... I bought a home for my son with cash. Now... It wasn't anything fancy. A solid brick home with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths...built to last. With almost an acre of land. Frankly... A LOT of the reason I bought the home was so "mom and dad" (my wife an I) didn't have to worry where their kid was going to live during a weird economic environment. If I had to pay this from SALARY or CLIENT WORK...and just kept getting paid for what I DO... It never would've happened. I hope this message comes off as inspiring rather than "preachy" or "braggy."
