I auctioned a Zoom training/workshop (low ticket) (Link to completed auction here.) (It could be just about anything low ticket really.) 250+ bids in the first hour! 115 unique bidders by the end. Post Auction OFFER: $50 to attend the Zoom with 2 Upsells. NINETY FIVE PERCENT conversion rate on $50 so far. Get THIS... Over 50% are taking the $1k upsell. NO T2s. NO T3s. NO fancy copy skills A WHOLE LOT OF FUN! 😎There are fifty-eleven THOUSAND partners who'd love to "sell" a Zoom...they may not even have an offer yet, but they may have a HUGE AUDIENCE they'd love to monetize in a REALLY COOL WAY! ...They normally do Zooms free, right? What if you opened with: (Would you be open to making $5k to $25k for doing a Zoom call?) or... ...sell more of an existing low-ticket product: (Would you add a Zoom call to your [LOW-TICKET program name] for a potential $5k to $25k?) Then let a Ronin: 👉Run the auction 👉Sell and UPSELL the bidders 👉Give 'em HALF because it's a windfall of found money If you were WATCHING... You prolly understand 90% of how to do this. If you participated, you prolly understand 95%! 💥Would you like a Zoom AMA on this for the other 5% to 10%?💥 (If nobody is into it, no worries. I've got enough to keep me busy!) 👇

Long time lurker here, first time poster... 2 days ago, I ran a 24-hour auction in my Skool group of 400 people. There was a "pool party" theme to make the event even more fun and exciting than it might be otherwise. All in all, around 35 people ended up making a bid. Out of those, 10 or so were actively and continuously bidding for the actual offer over the 24 hours. The winning bidder wasn't one of them — he only swept in during the last 2 or so minutes, and won the auction in a photo finish, with a last-second $31k bid. (I had initially estimated the entire auction might bring in $10k total.) Along with the winning bidder, now I also have 10 people who have expressed a serious level of interest in the outcome I was promising in the auction offer. I'm talking to them as well, to see how we might end up working together. On top of all that, my entire group is on a kind of high. Folks really got into the auction and the pool party theme — there were side bets going on, running gags, people goosing each other on, and lots of jokes, to the point that somebody recommended giving out a prize for the funniest comment (a suggestion that was immediately adopted). There are 755 comments on the auction post, and a bunch of members have written me afterwards to thank me for putting on an exciting and fun spectacle. All that's to say... now I'm a believer. And I'll be doing more auctions soon. Big thanks to both @Travis Sago and @Chris Dyson for their help before, during, and after the auction.

I'm following Travis's advice and get my butt on the bicycle more and more lately ... I've lost momentum with the whole book marketing (Which I'll pick up very soon again!). I'm considering doing Auctions as well as 1-on-1 follow ups for those running webinars and doing challenges. Regarding Auctions, I wanted to know what sort of offers/ thing is usually auctioned off? I know you can auction pretty much anything but I'd like to have a starter list so that when I have a conversation with someone (and I have a few on the fire right now) I know what I can suggest. I also know that the best is to not have the person I'd run the auction for to have to create anything new or to give them too much work to do. Here's what I have already: - Templates (like Travis did a while ago in his group). - VIP days (if this is something that's already been sold?) - 1-on-1 training (like Matt did with his 26k auction?) - Advertising something to someone's list (like it was with James's auction? I have to admit I didn't follow what was that REAL GOOD bonus he offered). - Bonus chapter in a book? Anyway if you have ideas or things that worked please add them in the comments, it'd be great to have a place to refer to for Ronins :)

I'm part of a new community with some killer Ronin and our wives that's designed to make AI approachable, useful, and fun for regular women (moms, grandmas, professionals who aren’t “techy” but want real-life results). Our demographics are women 30–60+, US/UK/AUS/Canada, solopreneurs, caretakers, creatives, professionals. Since we're not looking for techy audiences, it could be anywhere women are gathering...we're finding most AI education is made by men for men. They might be: - A mom who wants to get organized and save time - A creative juggling side projects and self-care - A professional who wants to feel more confident with tech - A grandma who wants to stay connected and relevant If this will make the audience owner look a hero and help their people out...we'll gladly pay 50% ongoing of the $29/mo. through Skool so it'll be super easy for everyone involved. We’ll also look for ways to promote them back to our members. Let me know...

I've been talking to a FB ad agency owner. She has been patiently sitting on an email list, which was part of her payment for a revshare deal with a client. The bad/terrible: - This list hasn't been emailed in the past 1-18 months (depending on when they bought) - The guru who was the face of the offer is no longer involved - His name or his offers cannot be used or even mentioned - Emails can't be sent from his account/domain There are only two things to offset all the negatives above: - There are 115k email addresses on this list - All are buyers, with some spending as little as $27 and some as much as $15k (it's a finance list) Do you have any experience or advice with something like this? If these were physical mail addresses, we could mail a small segment of the list as a test and see what happens. Is that the thing to do here as well? Is our best bet to set up a new domain, and start slowly spamming people and see where it leads us? Or should we throw away the whole list? Or is there some third option that I'm not seeing?
