I’m having a staycation. I’m not fancy. I love my home and fam. We’re having a one present limit this year. I’m all about experiences over more “shittery.” What about you? Mucho love! Happy holidays! Rooting for Ya, Travis

Hi Guys So, I did a reach out to uou uoutuber who has a premium course, and explained pretty well I think how it works, not only could they get a good bid for the winner but then can DM all the other bids to make an offer...but got the reply on the picture. I guess what I take from this is some people will either suddenly light up with the idea, or they don't don't get it and I should move on. What's your thoughts? Cheers, Phil

If I waited for certainty to show up before I went after what I wanted I still wouldn’t know how to tie my shoes, ride a bike or French Kiss. Certainty is what I waited, waited and waited for as a young chump who had time to wait. I was always WAITING! Waiting for… More money More time More credibility More strength More skills More network More abs More! More! More CERTAINTY! I was waiting my life away! Then one day… I got a phone call. My dad died. Somehow… This turned out to be the moment I was waiting for to STOP WAITING! Because my dad’s death DEMONSTRATED to me in full color… There is ONE CERTAINTY I can count on: DEATH! One day… It will be MY turn. I will be lowered 6 feet into the ground and someone will shovel dirt on my casket. So I stopped waiting… I started. I failed. I started again. I failed again. I started over and over until one day I finished something! And you know what? That day some certainty FOUND ME! 3 years after my father’s death, I had just about everything I REALLY wanted. It happened that fast after I stopped waiting for certainty. Waiting is where dreams go to die. Certainty only came AFTER I’d DONE something fifty eleven times…NEVER before. Get ‘er DONE!

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.)
