This is not meant to be a distraction from all the incredible content here from Travis But if there are any readers in the group and you like “truth is stranger than fiction” reads This might be your jam Sam Zemurray got his start in New Orleans as a dirt poor/fresh off the boat immigrant kid from Russia He found a pile of over-ripe bananas and asked the guys who threw them out what they were for… “Ah, those are the ‘ripes’ kid” “Nobody wants those” He asked if he could take them and they said “sure” Took them up to one of the lower income neighborhoods and sold them individually. He was all of a sudden able to eat and help his family survive We’re talking actual “trash can” assets! And this was the start of an empire. I’m talking Carnegie/Rockefeller type This guy Sam was a BOSS. Straight up went to war with his competitors. Like with bazookas, tanks, armies… Ever heard of Banana Republic? Before the clothing brand, it was this guy. Lol I’ll leave the details for the book but some of the characters he bumped up against were people like Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Edward Bernays… this is one of my all time favorite books. So many lessons: spotting and seizing opportunities, ethics, deal making, but most of all, perseverance. Let me know what you think if you’ve read it. :) “The Fish That Ate The Whale: The Life And Times of America’s Banana King” - Rich Cohen

Imperfect action continues. Would someone so kindly take a look at a post I am looking to do on my Substack? Please be gentle, I am no copywriter, as you will soon see. :) I leveraged the the 5 P's when writing it. I added some background on myself near the end of the post. Not sure if I need that, or not. Most people coming to the page will have no clue who I am so wanted to add some street cred if they needed it to subscribe. My ideal subscriber is running or looking to run an ecommerce store and needs help with conversion optimization. The copy is below: The Golden Ticket eCommerce Formula "Your golden ticket to more sales and revenue." There are three things everyone needs to run a successful ecommerce business. Get those three things right and business gets real fun. 1. You need a product 2. You need traffic 3. You need conversion. Fast. This message is for all of you folks out there selling your stuff online. As you know, running your own ecomm business is hard. Real hard… You have so many hats to wear each day as a business owner. Running an ecomm biz, at times, can be such a burden. It can at times just really SUCK the life right out of you. Ask me how I know. :) All the things you must do in a day can be overwhelming. Maybe your day looks a bit like this? Get up after a somewhat good night’s sleep (does the human brain EVER truly shut off when you own an ecommerce, or any business for that matter?) Grab a cup of coffee, juice or whatever… Fire up the computer. Check emails. Check sales. Check traffic sources. Look at ad campaigns. Make tweaks to ad campaigns. Check on SEO. Look at Analytics. Look at your repricer. Write content. Post to social media. Web development. Check your seller accounts. Amazon. eBay, Walmart and other marketplaces. Hire people. Fire people. Customer support. Shipping. Sourcing. Banking. New product development. Ongoing education. Sound familiar? Dang straight homey… Talk about a burden...

I'm opening up Royalty Rockstars next week if nothing goes FUBAR! 🤞 Royalty Rockstars is a community for the "talent": Coaches, Creators, and Influencers who want to turn their old/new content into ROYALTY income. RONIN are the producers and distribution. Kinda like the music, movie, sports industry. You have the talent. 🤹‍♂️ Then you have the Royalty Ronin who go out and monetize the talent. 🤑 I will "teach" my fool head off about licensing, but MOST TALENT doesn't want to do the BUSINESS SIDE! They just DON'T! That's where YOU come in. Royalty Rockstars is going to be a "feeder" for Ronin. We'll discuss more details later... But for now...free for you... ===> Become a Royalty Rockstar & FOUNDER here I can't tell ya what to do cuz you're Ronin... But I'd love it if you joined and added to the convo. I'd bet dollars to donuts the most active Ronin will make deals with the Rockstars. Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I initially spoke about this community as 8 Figure Licensing Mojo, but damn...it was just so boring to me! I want to make licensing FUN!

UPDATE 02/03/24 Small update. ❌ I didn't want to give the guy I'm working with an extra task of deep dive proofreading . Like Travis' says: you give someone a 5 min task, you delayed the deal a day. You give them a 30 min task, you likely will have killed the deal. ✅ So, I had to put on my thinking cap and came up with a solution. I asked him if we could do a small TEST with a few of his peeps. We promise them a finalized version of the Kindle book for FREE. But that the caveat was that they had to a) actually read it and b) give us unfiltered feedback and comment on our Google doc. The way I positioned this was so that we make it the best damn resource that we know a small sample of his existing audience will already love instead of firing blind. He loved the idea! It was a win-win because he doesn't have to put in more work and I don't have to sweat if his audience is going to like it 🚀 UPDATE 01/25/24 Will make a few points on how this has gone down so far with some lessons learned... ❌ At first, I was only asking for a referral link within the book. ✅ He ended up easily agreeing to have my own opt-in link where I can manage the bonus book content resources ❌He wanted to structure the initial commission as a referral, which was 15%. I was struggling to figure out how I could sweat or not sweat the leads that actually booked (which I did find out you can pre-populate Calendly links with info. But that seemed like a lot of tech to integrate it). ✅Today, I posed the question to him that I would save him and his sales team time, money, and energy if I used a lander to direct sell to his programs. And that I figured he'd like someone just being able to jump right in the program versus having his team filled with more calendar items. He agreed, and at a higher percentage! I didn't want to appear like I was taking advantage of his flexibility, so I said I didn't want a whole lot more and just asked for 20%. I will likely split test this where I can down the road for his sales team vs the lander. I know I can also trigger email sequences and nurture to convert them too.
