So…I did a thing. I launched an auction on my Facebook profile. Probably should’ve planned it a little better, but here we are. Curious to see how it plays out. If you want to peek at the pre-sell post: https://www.facebook.com/delia.ursulescu/posts/pfbid02vQkH6NxYVeT5GbHZTFYk868ezLWztrxTTPc1VfrMKY2ZHjmiAu97KG5QZ5BryL9l I’m also going to post it in a group I’m part of, and a partner offered to send a bit of traffic. We’ll see if it actually shows up. 😄

I’ve got a database of communities I’m starting to work. I’m contacting community owners cold. This one went from Cold to Coffee Date in under 24 hours. Remember we’re not selling auctions… We’re selling BIDDING/Buying Frenzies happening in the comments for the community owners offers. (And that offer is 🔥) Here’s the PS in my cold email… “PS You can't buy anything. But after visiting your about page I think you'd clean up running an auction. It's a blast watching everyone placing bigger and bigger bids in the comments. It goes craaazy. I know your CXXXX offer is hot!” 👉 I’m sending them to my about page in Community Fire Mojo. (Which pre-sells them) 👉 They join my CFM community. 👉 I comp them my Pop Up Auction. 👉 They love the idea, but ask if I can do it for them. I’ve sent 3 deals to Ronin Auction Heroes since yesterday. I’m looking for Auction Heroes ACTIVELY doing deals. Is that you? 👇

Hey, I have a couple of interested peeps who have FB groups. Question for you: they want us to handle the whole thing - but it's best if the posts come from the admin/owner. So, do you use a FB CRM to respond to messages on behalf of the owner? Has anyone done it in FB groups > DMs this way?

Talking to this guy running a local magazine, sending about 10k magazines to every home in his county. He's been doing it every month for a few years, but is getting a bit burned up with it, as his advertising income isn't the greatest right now. So, now he's thinking of moving the newsletter online, and ditching the physical one. I'm thinking of running an auction as a tool to help him build his list AND possibly get control of some assets like the email list or community. Any tips on the best way to figure out what to offer on an auction? I've started reading about that county online, but I'm a tad lost here I'm excited to do a direct mail campaign :) edit: how about I just reach out to all past advertisers and ask them if they'd join in and throw some prize into an auction?

Help me Brainstorm next steps... I reached out to about 10 people about doing an auction. One responded — the admin of a 29K-member cold plunge Facebook community. He doesn’t really have a product or service to sell. His thing is reviewing cold plunge equipment (he earns through affiliate links). @Travis Sago said, "there is NO LAW that says you can't get one business to provide the auction prize and one business to host the auction and YOU be the AUCTIONEER collecting 20% or more of all the money." Now I need to help him come up with an offer that’ll actually get people excited to bid. Any ideas from you smarter-than-me folks? 😄
