It took me 30+ years... To realize I was only ONE breakthrough away from my next income leap... Not 6... Not fifty-eleven steps... ONE! I fed over 600+ pages and 10 years of insights into this 8-minute video... "Virtual Travis" did ok I think:-) Now... If I can just learn to say my last name right!! Happy New Year! Rooting for Ya, Travis PS Want more like this? Lemme know 👇 PPS Don't miss the "Find YOUR Herbie!" breakthrough.

I'll appreciate any insight I can get on how to move this conversation forward. Here is a bit of context: This expert has over 100k followers on LinkedIn. I reached out to him via email. After a bit of chat via email, I told him about auctions. He said it sounded interesting. That he's currently about to test a 3-Day challenge with someone who reached out to him. And depending on how it goes, he will take me on the auction offer. After 2 weeks, I heard back from him and this was his response: Hi Daniel, I hope you enjoyed the holidays and have something fun (or relaxing) planned for New Years. I had a strategy meeting with my COO and reviewed what worked and what didn’t work last year so we can plan for next year. We experimented with A LOT of different approaches last year and none of them panned out to be worth it and most had a negative ROI, including the 3-day challenge we did to my newsletter audience a few weeks ago. With that, we’ve decided to stop experimenting in 2026 and focus on profitability and ROI so I’m not going to be doing any more experiments with outside vendors for a while. I appreciate the offer and approach below but it’s not something I’m going to be investing in at this point. Good luck with everything in the new year. ==== ==== Here's the reply I drafted out to send to him but I wanted to seek insights from us to see if I'm missing something that might move the conversation forward. Here's what I drafted: Hi {name}, That makes complete sense. Honestly, I’d make the same decision in your shoes. Just to clarify one thing before I step back: You don’t put any money down. I fund everything; the copy, lead gen, and any extra costs. And you only pay me after money hits your Stripe or PayPal. This isn’t rolled out to your entire audience. One partner recently seeded 550 people from a large list for a test and pulled in $128k. It works because participation naturally surfaces people who are already curious about going deeper with the ideas behind your work.

Q: How are we doing such UNBELIEVABLE numbers? 1. 👀Watch the video👀 2. If you'd like an Auction Hero to run a Fun Auction FOR YOU in 2026 3. DM me on Skool (I'll reach out at the start of the year.) Happy New Year! Rooting For Ya, Travis PS Auction Heroes don't take money up-front. That $10k, $89k or $120,000 hits your Stripe and bank account BEFORE you ever send a dime.

I tried to visualize the plan for a potential partner and this gave him an immediate understanding what we try to do. Only thing I did was talking for 10min and gave an example we could use for him. (For the next time I just need 1-2min for another specialized example) It's not perfect, but I believe it can help us to structure the plan. Some people have a hard time understanding the concept.

I have an SEO coach with a 10k Facebook group and a huge email list selling a $2,997 mastermind and he's willing to pay 30% per sale I asked him if he had an affiliate link for his program and he said yes, we pay 30% commissions, now I need some help with this since this will be my first auction for someone else
