Hi everyone! Question for the pros: How do you protect yourself when runing an auction on a new community: Im working on a deal and Im proposing a test (pre-auction to test interest) but this person doesn't have a community on skool or fb group.. just a good following (23,000 accros fb, Li, Ig, YT) So Im thinking on launching the auction test on his fb and eventuallytake them to a new skool group! In this case would you simple run the whole thing inside fb ... or would you work the deal to co-own the new skool with the coacch? Thank you for your feedback :) ~ Nelson

If you're like me and were born to middle-class parents... We were programmed to get Paid to Work (PTW) If you want more money... 😕Take on a part-time job... 😕 Work more hours... 😕Add another client... 😕Mow your own lawn... The PTW Formula for $ = Work More Now, unless you're Hercules? Our life "backpacks" are already back-breaking... And PTW adds "MORE BRICKS" to a pack ripping at the seams. Seven years into my marriage... My backpack was crushing me. I was working 70 hours a week... I was only 35, but a backpack was breaking me down every day... It's still hard for me to share this, but... I yelled at Jeannie and my son on the regular. Our marriage was on the ropes. One day... While I was at work... Something "bad" had happened with Jeannie's day at home... She didn't call me. Later that evening, when I got home (way after dark and missing another supper)... We talked, and she told me what happened. (I don't even remember what it was?) I asked her why she didn't call me? She said words I will never forget... "I was afraid you'd get mad." My own wife was afraid of me.💔 This karate chopped me right in the heart. Then the knife went in and twisted... Because I knew my son felt the same way. Now... I'm not going to blame the PTW Formula for it all... Because... I have free will. But... Adding more stress, more work, more bricks to a situation... Is like trying to fix a kinked hose by turning up the water pressure. It doesn't work. It only creates more pressure. Pressure for me. Pressure for my family. Pressure that ruins relationships. If the pressure isn't removed, it's not a matter of "if" the relationship will be wrecked... ...it's a matter of when. My relationship was redlining. Now... Since you know me... You know we stayed married. Married almost 30 years now:-) She's no longer "afraid" of me. I don't know if I can ever repair the damage I did to my son... But... We are in a better place than ever. It started when I saw the futility of PTW.

Your advice please... If I were to auction off a DONE-4-U community? Which one would you bid the mostest for? 👇 👉A) I purchase an existing STARTER community for you. 500 members minimum. In a niche and industry that gets you revved up. I'd make sure there was evergreen monetization potential. 👉B) I seed/build a new 500-member community for you from MY existing email lists and communities. It would need to be in sales, marketing, or a related niche. EXAMPLE: I'd LOVE to see a Leads On Demand Community. Getting leads is an evergreen niche + I've already got proven courses and content to license to you that WORK. 👉C)Be a contributor in one of my existing communities (Between 500 members and 2,000 members). You could make up to 2 posts a day. Run polls. Run auctions. You could sell anything that TRULY HELPS the members. I've got dozens of programs you could sell to start. We'd split revenue 50/50. NOTE: A and B would come with me as a Community Wingman to help you grow new members, monetize and get OTHER PEOPLE to do the content and selling for you using the Mall Model. 👇👇👇

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?

HUGE THANK YOU to @Nick Roberts and @Marcus Karl for this candid interview. They did NOT sugar coat or gloss over the Bad or the Ugly of this auction. Spoiler alert: Everyone still had fun and $174,000 in sales with $50,000 cash collected. This started on a Facebook profile! There are HUNDREDS if not THOUSANDS of creators and influencers with 5,000 or less followers on their FB profiles, Insta, YT channels, Email lists, X, Pinterest and SKOOL COMMUNITIES that could... Use the same EXACT method that Nick and Marcus did. And it doesn't have to be perfect. Why? Because the auction format is SO FORGIVING! Let's make this a LEARNING thread and ASK any questions you may have! Rooting For Ya, Travis PS At the end... I gave them a tip to bring in another $100k. In ONE WORD. Then I showed them how to cash flow this for $1 million. PPS If you got anything out of this interview and breakdown, please drop some appreciation for Markus and Nick. They really gave this their all and went into detail!
