I ran my first pop-up auction yesterday inside my Skool community, The Alchemy Circle, and wanted to share the results and what I learned. For context, my group is made up of 68 members who are working through chronic symptoms, trauma healing, and nervous system regulation. I offered a full Alchemical Mapping Session. It’s the first step of my work with new clients, and normally $997. (1:1 consultation, usually about 3 hours duration). It helps someone trace their symptoms and patterns back to one coherent root and gives them a clear next step. The auction ran from 10am to 2pm. I made a Loom walkthrough, kept the post simple (see attached), and followed the structure from the module. Outcome: I received one bid for $75. No other comments or likes/reactions. The low number brought up some things for me, especially about the vulnerability of offering deep work inside a quiet space. After sitting with it, here’s what I can see: • My community may not be used to auctions or public bidding. • They tend to be private processors. • Some likely watched quietly without engaging. • I am still calibrating how to introduce this format to them. • The single bid does not reflect the value of my work, just the unfamiliarity of the experiment. I’m treating this first run as a field-setter rather than a moneymaker. I’m following the recommended DM sequence... although the post-auction follow-up is tough since only one person participated. What I’d love feedback on: • For a very quiet, sensitive audience, what adjustments would you make? • Would you set a minimum bid next time? • Would you try a private-bid format instead of public commenting? • Anything you see in my process that I could refine? I’m committed to practicing this until it feels natural for both me and my community.

I have been looking at profiles and groups that people have and secretly rewriting the about descriptions that suck. i gotta say that one is pretty baller... IMO it's not perfect but it did instantly make me want to smash the join button! what da ya think?

I've run a lot of auctions for real estate assets but this will be the first for an info product. Thanks for the idea @Travis Sago ! Here's the copy I'm working on, let me know what you think (loved what you did with @Nelson Barrera's offer @Honey Syed, am I missing anything here?) Title: Start Real Seller Conversations Fast (Without Capital, Connections, or Buying a Single Loan) Most real estate investors spend YEARS trying to figure out how to talk to lenders who actually sell notes. You don’t have to. I’ve spent 15 years inside this industry, moving millions of dollars in note sales, building relationships with decision-makers, and training ethical, professional matchmakers who help banks solve real problems. And today, for the first time ever… I’m auctioning off Copy #1 of the new Mortgage Note Matchmaker Masterclass. Starting bid: $1 😳 And here’s why this is a big deal: Whoever wins becomes Student #1 — and gets disproportionately more attention, support, and guidance than anyone who comes after. Your questions get answered first. Your wins get spotlighted first. Your implementation gets personalized oversight. There will never be another Student #1. --- Most beginners fail to break into note investing because they think they need: ❌ experience ❌ a track record ❌ capital ❌ or insider connections They don’t. They need a system that gives them: ✅ the right language ✅ the right contacts ✅ the right buyers ✅ the right process ✅ and the authority to be taken seriously That’s exactly what today’s winner will walk away with. --- 🎁 THE WINNER GETS: 1️⃣ Mortgage Note Matchmaker Masterclass — Lifetime Access 💰 Value: $1,997 Your full A–Z system for earning matchmaker fees: - outreach - compliance-friendly language - follow-up cadences - seller conversations - pricing strategy - credibility frameworks - execution workflow This is the core of your new business model.
