Hello intelligent people: How can I pull people off a Facebook business page into a Skool group or email list? Can I send them friend requests with my personal account? Should I run a cheap ad campaign targeting my Facebook page followers? Posting stuff organically barely reaches anyone, right? Pretend like I am a small child using the Internet for the first time. Thank you!

As in...SHIT. THE. BED! Ok, it didn't have the outcome I wanted, but I got great data from it. Here's how I set it up... I reached out to a handful of cool offer owners. "Are you doing a black friday promo this year?" "Hmmm...not sure. I probably should, right? Whatcha have in mind?" That was pretty much the same response from each message. Super simple. Got 5 on board out of like 7 I reached out to. I setup a Skool group. Ran a Last Comment Wins contest to fill the group. Most of the new members came from two of the partners. 1300+ comments in a little over 24 hours...300 in the last 5 minutes. Originally I was going to pull people in for an auction with a bundle of offers from the partners I reached out to. Figured I'd make it more fun to fill the group. Decided to do the auction with just one of the offers in the bundle. Wrote up some copy to pre-sell the auction. It didn't get a lot of response in my group, but did well when the partner posted it. I did a shit ton of masculine mojo and messaged everyone who commented to get them into the group. Out of like 50 people who commented on the partner's post, I got 25 into the skool group for the auction (AFTER the last comment contest...got 53 in for that one). Post went out on Tuesday. Auction started Thursday and ran for 24-hours. High bid: $750 (includes 1-1 call with partner) Not a lot of bidders to follow up with...around 12. Sent three follow up options. Only one took the lowest option. $1397 total collected. Partner sold his self-paced offer in the past for $997 (NO 1-1 calls). I'll likely just send him the entire amount. Here's the data collected... 𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐚 𝟐𝟒-𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲! The auction ended on Friday at noon. I had a call at 1:00. Started the follow up around 2:00pm. In their minds...people are already "out the door" for the weekend. And here's where I totally STB...I completely forgot I'd be offline all day Saturday and part of Sunday and wouldn't be able to follow up.

DON'T BE A TURKEY DICK! SELL STUFF! EVERY DAY! If people have a pressing present pain...and my (or someone else's) offer relieves it...I'm doing them a disservice by keeping it to myself. If one symptom/offer solution falls flat… Find a different symptom with a more pressing present pain and roll out another one. There was a great story in Better Call Saul. (A spin-off show from Breaking Bad.) Saul was a manager of a pre-paid cell phone store paid on commish. The store was on the outskirts of town and almost nobody came in. So he couldn't change the PRODUCT... But he could do TWO THINGS: ONE: Change the positioning of the product and the PAIN that it solves and for WHOM. TWO: There was no law that said he couldn't leave the store and go where the customers are. So... Instead of selling: Unlimited minutes. Unlimited texts, blah, blah ...which wasn't working... Here's what Saul did... He soaped up words all across the window frontage of his store: TOP LINE: IS THE MAN LISTENING? BOTTOM LINE: PRIVACY SOLD HERE! He called out a PRESENT PAIN. He offered the SOLUTION. IN TWO LINES! He sold them as untraceable, untrackable, PRIVATE burner phones. He sold them to people who NEEDED privacy. The present pain was worry about getting CAUGHT in dealing drugs, having an affair, dodging taxes, etc. Not only did people start streaming into the store... He went out on the streets to sell them. HE CLEANED UP! NOBODY GAVE A FUUUUCK that he made offers because he had the CURE to their PAIN! If he had to change the window sign because nobody was coming in, would anyone care? NO! It's smart. If you make an offer that doesn't hit. CHANGE IT! CHANGE IT FAST! THERE ARE PEOPLE IN PAIN! FIND A SYMPTOM/PRESENT PAIN that calls out to them. Saul was out on the street approaching HARDENED CRIMINALS COLD...(offering private calls for their friends in prison. He'd sell MULTIPLES at one time.)... They literally could've popped a cap in his ass. But they didn't!
