Here's what I'm struggling with. Do I sell the license for all of the apps and courses that I teach and be happy with that or do I do something different? Probably need a business coach!

I've been thinking about what it means now that ANYONE can whip up a working AI tool in a weekend. Even people like me... People who wouldn't know computer code if it bit them in the face. The world is our oyster! It took me about 3 hours to rebuild every.to's writing tool. (see pic of my working version 👇). Maybe 45 minutes of that was actual AI work... And the rest was me fiddling with fonts and colors like a weirdo. The end result wasn't anything super fancy. BUT... With tools just like this, we could monetize it eleventy-seven ways to Sunday. A year ago, building something like this would've required either a developer on payroll... ... or months of learning to code yourself. Now we can get it done in a lazy Sunday afternoon with some YouTube tutorials and a cup of coffee. The barrier to creating useful AI tools has basically collapsed. Which means the sticking point isn't really about building anymore. It's about what you DO with the thing once it exists. I've been noodling on this a lot… There are newsletter creators, course creators, coaches, consultants — all these people sitting on frameworks and methodologies that could become tools. Most of them have no idea how to build anything, and most of them don't have the time or interest to learn. But we can build something in a weekend that solves a real problem for their audience. Whether it's THEIR frameworks... Or our OWN (which we can put in as many different distribution streams as we can dream up). So the question I keep coming back to is this… If you could clone any tool — or build one from scratch — in a weekend, what would you make? And more importantly, who would you take it to? I'm not looking for polished business plans here. I'm just curious what's rattling around in your head, even if it's half-baked. Drop it below. In Your Corner, Jason PS - I'll share the clone I built if there's interest. It's nothing fancy, but it gets the job done.

I was poking around a newsletter called every.to the other day… And I noticed something I'm seeing more and more. They charge $30 a month for their paid tier. But here's the thing about their paid plan… It's not JUST articles. They bundle in 4 AI tools. Writing tool. Email tool. File organizer. Voice dictation thing. Now… Are these tools some kind of revolutionary breakthrough? Not really. I've seen plenty of similar tools out there on the interwebs. But... They're just genuinely USEFUL to the people who read that newsletter. (Crazy concept, right?) If even 5% of their 100K+ subscribers are on their paid plan like me... That's $150K/month in revenue for them! And I got curious… How many newsletter creators out there would LOVE to have a reason for people to upgrade to paid? So I went looking. Substack alone has over 75,000 newsletters. Only about 27,000 of them even HAVE a paid option. Which means roughly 50,000 newsletter creators are building audiences... And making exactly ZERO from their subscribers! Sure, the smart ones MIGHT slip an ad or two in on occasion. But... 👉 Do you think ONE of those 50k newsletters might be interested if you showed up with tools that served their audience and offered to work out a deal? I'm gonna take a wild guess and say YES. AND… You don't need to land some huge partnership here. What if each deal only paid you $500 a month? Or $1,000? Then you turned around and rented that same tool out to another newsletter owner. Stack three of those up and suddenly you've got consistent royalty checks coming in from tools you built ONCE. The newsletter creator gets something valuable to offer their audience. You get paid every month whether you're working or not. I've seen this work myself. And newsletters are just ONE place you could run this play. Now… Here's where most people screw this up. They learn how to BUILD the tools… Then sit there with their thumb up their hindparts wondering why nobody's paying them.

Do you have any useful digital courses (Old or New) you'd be open to licensing worldwide for royalty income? Tell me what ya got 👇 Rooting For Ya, Travis

Most people approach influencer partnerships completely backwards. They lead with their product. Their features. Their benefits. Then wonder why nobody responds. Here's what would happen if someone reached out asking me to promote their thing here to Royalty Rockstars... They'd probably start with: "Hey Jeff, I've got this amazing system that helps people..." DELETE Wouldn't even finish reading it. Why? Because they made it about THEM. Not about me. Not about you. Not about our community here. Not about what I actually care about. Classic mistake. Now compare that to how Travis approaches this. He got his book to #1 using unpaid endorsements. Was a top ten Clickbank seller for 5 years. 30,000 visitors a day from free promotion. All because he understood something most people miss. Influencers don't care about your stuff. They care about THEIR stuff. Their audience. Their reputation. Their problems. Their needs. And there are exactly 4 things every influencer actually wants. Four psychological triggers that make them say YES. Most people focus on the wrong stuff entirely. They think it's about crafting the perfect pitch. Or having some massive following. Or throwing money at people. None of that matters. What matters is understanding what makes influencers tick. What keeps them up at night. What they actually value. Travis figured this out years ago. And it's been printing money for him ever since. So here's my question for you... Can you guess what those 4 things are? Travis has talked about this a bunch in Ronin. What do you think every influencer actually wants? Drop your guesses in the comments. I'm curious to see how close people get. Because most answers I see are going to be dead wrong. Unless you're in Ronin :) Once there's enough guesses... I'll drop Part 2. Where I'll reveal the first thing. And why 99% of people get it backwards. -Jeff P.S. If you want Part 2... take a guess in the comments.
