Get Paid to Turn this Trash into Treasure

All right dumpster divers! 😃

Everyone laughs UNTIL you find GOLD in the dumpster.

Check this out...

I took an old FB group of 31,000 peeps. (Coaches)

Any post gets barely 100 reach, and it's lucky if it gets a like or two.

Then I used something staring me in the face for years.

👉COMMUNITY CHAT!

So, I put on my dumpster spelunking gear....

And I "create" a community chat.

(See my T1 in the attachment)

I title it "Free Book for Coaches"

"Yesses" come POURING IN!

I mean RAGING IN!

Compared to doing a post in the group.

So after about 50 YESSES...

I post my Docsend link to the book.

YESSES rolling in the whole time.

Docsend grabs their email address, delivers and also let's me see WHO has read and HOW FAR.

Take a GUESS...

How many new leads do you think I got?

10 would've been good from a defunct group, right?

20 would've been pretty awesome because if I'd paid someone $100 bucks to run this chat for me on their "defunct" group...I'd be at $5 a lead for COACHES that's cheap.

But...

I got more.

A LOT MORE!

50?

No.

MORE!

75?

MORRRRE!

ONE HUNDRED?!?

EVEN MORE!

I got 130 new leads in the coaching space.

130!

I could do another chat like this with a new angle and get 100 more easy.

Now...

Check this out.

ANYBODY can start a COMMUNITY CHAT in Facebook groups.

(NOTE: I did this in a group of less than 5,000 and it goes out to EVERY MEMBER. I also did this in the 31,000 person group and you can choose different segments, like "active members"...I don't know how FB counts active members, but I think it is active on FB not just the group because my chat for the 31,000 person group went out to thousands.)

It just needs to be approved by the admin.

This means it's no hassle for the admin if you want to Shogun Traffic Method this.

There are 1000s of FB groups sitting not doing much.

In practically every niche under the sun.

👉Work an STM deal with the admin CHEAP or do it rev share or whatever. This is a trash can asset.

👉Create a community chat - Giveaway something FREE. Remember nobody wants a book, course, AI Tool or whatever, they want the BENEFIT.

👉Send it to an optin page or Docsend link.

👉Get the admin to approve it.

👉Watch leads come in!

There are 101 things you can do with the treasure.

You now have the power to get traffic and leads WAY CHEAPER than almost anyone else.

It works super well on active groups too, but the admin will likely want you to pay more.

But...

This is a lay down for inactive groups/trash can asset.

And ya know...

If it works super good for ya in a group.

Run more.

or even see if they will sell you the group super cheap.

I've laid out the rough guide for ya here.

👉Would ya like a more in depth thing?

A walk-through of the whole setup?

or you good with this?

I don't want to invest the time and energy doing every step if nobody will need it?

Rooting For Ya,

Travis

PS There are trash can assets everywhere! If you ask a biz owner what they are willing to pay for a lead...and they say "for $5, I'd take em all day in the "space"...and you can get them for 50 cents or $1 dumpster diving?

You can set up these income streams and then hire someone for $20 an hour to go out and dumpster dive for ya.

PPS If you give something that solves a problem for group members free - you make the group owner look like a hero! This is perfect for the “Can I pay you to giveaway…” opener!
