I talked to someone in the chess niche about partnering on auctions.
He has a free community with 1.3K members and 50 daily active members.
And a paid one, He has launched this week at $39/month and has 6 members.
Works with an operator.
He didn’t see how auctions fit his niche.
He didn’t believe auctions could hit ten-grand months.
He kept comparing auctions to his reliable YouTube to paid community funnel.
And I found myself trying not to convince… but also not wanting to ignore the questions either.
That’s where I got stuck.
What would you say to someone smart, reasonable, and simply asking, “Why would auctions outperform what’s already working in my niche?”
