Tiers changes some things
Travis mentioned using a "throw away" Skool group for running an auction. Perfectly good idea. Here's another... Create a free group. Bring people in for the auction. Make the offer something that solves an immediate problem. Run the auction and have a blast. Collect the monies. THEN... What's the next problem those bidders have? Open a paid tier in the group and invite them to stick around and solve that next problem. I'm setting this up and running it for a few partners as well as my own group. Even better if a partner has a free group and doesn't know how to monetize it. Run an auction and invite people to the paid tier.
