Let me share a story about my two brands... Back in 2017... I was hustling along side my freelance work each week trying to BUILD my own authority from scratch in the affiliate marketing space. I branded it The No Paycheck Needed System Of Income. I was moderately successful at affiliate marketing having made over $33k through ClickFunnels. The problem was my “brand” relied on $97 / month software. When I couldn't afford to pay anymore? Bye bye brand. It was a BEHOTCH to switch to another platform when ClickFunnels sales tanked. I made 3 or 4 different iterations of the brand on different platforms. Kartra, BuilderAll (YUCK), Systeme and Substack. I remember watching my competitors smoking me in Google rankings... It was painful for me because I was NUMBER 1 for a while for a few affiliate keywords. That dried up pretty quickly. In 2019… I'd been spinning my wheels for about a year by that point. I moved on to building an agency with a partner until that bombed completely by 2023. After that fiasco… I found Systeme dot io. It was at a reasonable monthly price of $27… So, I decided to fire up another attempt at building the brand. This time though I had a couple of licensed offers from Travis Sago. But... I still struggled to leverage it. The No Paycheck Needed brand still wasn’t catching on with people. Then something shifted... After reading Travis’s Make Em’ Beg To Buy, the concept of a Presell Sandwich really grabbed me. On a whim, I searched for the domain and it was available so I picked it up. I sat on the domain until earlier this year after Travis made an offer for people to license out his book and resell it. It felt like a perfect domain to resell the book. Reselling the book was my first real taste of a PiggyBANKING Brand. Now, all of my Travis Sago related offers go through the Presell Sandwich brand. I’ve made more sales from complete strangers than ever before. My name isn't anywhere on the site. They learn who I am AFTER they buy.

Chad here... I made a HUGE mistake last year. And it cost me big time. See, I became a Virginia state rep for a company selling a fuel product. This fuel additive reduces emissions and saves on fuel costs. Dollar signs started dancing in my head because state reps were the ONLY ones who could sell to commercial companies. Every commercial sale was worth 35%. It was like an advanced affiliate program. If I landed a $100k monthly deal with say a trucking company... I'd pocket around $35k. Sweet, right? I went ALL IN. Used everything I learned from being in Travis's world to try and get sales. Spent months crafting copy, reaching out, following up... Yet I never got a single sale. Could barely get anyone to respond. But here's where it gets worse... The company kept changing the rules on me. Adding more restrictions. Making me run ALL my copy through their admin team first. Had to make sure I wasn't saying anything "off brand." Earlier this year I finally had to throw in the towel. Insiders were telling me no one was making sales. Not sure if others followed. The mistake I made? Pouring my energy and time into something I had ZERO control over. It's like being a race car driver but someone else controls your steering wheel. You can press the gas all you want... But if they don't turn the wheel, you're going nowhere fast. That's why as PiggyBANKERS, we need CONTROL over what we do. Not just the ability to make money... But the ability to steer our own vehicle. See, most companies that offer affiliate programs are just like that fuel company. They control the rules. They control the payouts. They control when you get paid (usually 30-45 days later). They can change everything overnight and there's nothing you can do about it. But licensing? That's different. When you license something, you pay for it once and can do almost anything you want with it. You can build a brand around it. Combine it with another licensed offer. Make it your own thing while keeping 100% of the profits.

Today I want to talk about a smart business guy who almost let his offers rot... Chaddie the Baddie here... I just wrapped up a call with this sharp guy on Tuesday. He's been in Travis Sago's $48k a year mastermind in the past. Hundred's of thousands made in the ecom space. Last year I bought this killer Black Friday / Cyber Monday training from him that helped me get sales. Now 71 days away from Black Friday 2025? His offer is just sitting there. Collecting digital dust. Why? Same problem most smart business people have... NO TIME. He's building a new ecom business and was about to let his proven winner just sit on the sidelines. It took over a week to get him on a call because he's packing and shipping 40 - 80 orders a day. Over a week ago he sent his list an email... He told us all that he had to put something on the back burner. Unfortunately, it would be his email coaching business. That's when I swooped in. After some back and forth by email I asked him a simple question... "What if we ran a quick test to see if there is interest in licensing this offer? " His response? "Excellent idea. Let's do it. Let me know what you need to get started." Boom. On the call, he was totally open to whatever I wanted to do. I even told him that this is an easy layup and is he sure he wouldn't want to just do this himself? He confirmed he's giving me full control to steer the ship. Now I'm building out the test...the core offer and a few emails. Everything goes out to his audience next week. Whether this gets sales... Or craps the bed... I have a lot of upside and little downside with this. He looks like a hero to his people. His people get to license something that already worked. I'll also be picking up a license to resell it. Win-win. Here's what I want you to realize... There are THOUSANDS of smart business people with assets just sitting there collecting digital dust. They've got winning offers. They've got audiences. They just don't have the TIME to turn them into something their people can profit from.
