Remember our quiet bottle behind the bar from last time?
Ever wonder where that good whiskey came from during Prohibition?
It wasn't manufactured by big distilleries anymore - those were shut down.
It came from "off-market" suppliers.
Regular folks with stills in the hills.
Farmers with extra grain and know-how.
Canadian importers with connections and boats.
People who didn't make their living selling alcohol before Prohibition.
The best speakeasies didn't rely on watered-down bathtub gin.
They built relationships with these "off-market" suppliers.
They paid wholesale prices for quality product.
Then served it to a grateful audience.

The Off-Market Traffic Supplier
*******************************
The internet has its own Prohibition happening right now.
Facebook, Google, and the other "traffic lords" control the mainstream.
They set the rules, jack up the prices, and ban you when it suits them.
And everyone's fighting over the same watered-down audiences.
But just like during Prohibition, there's an off-market solution.
*******************************
Who Really Controls The Traffic You Want?
*******************************
Here's the big secret: 50 million people consider themselves content creators/influencers today.
According to Google. No joke.
And 99% of them DON'T MAKE THEIR LIVING SELLING ADS.
Let that sink in.
They have:
- Newsletters with loyal subscribers
- Facebook Groups with engaged fans
- YouTube channels with dedicated viewers
- Podcasts with regular listeners
- Online communities with shared interests
But they don't have a sales team.
They don't have an "ad manager" portal.
They don't have rate cards or minimum spends.
They're just trying to make a living doing what they love.
*******************************
Why This Works So Damn Well
*******************************
When someone doesn't make their living selling ads, two magical things happen:
- They sell access CHEAP (often 90% less than market rate)
- Their audience TRUSTS them (so conversion rates skyrocket)
I've seen newsletter spots going for $7.50 that brought in 22 opt-ins and a sale for every 10 people.
I've watched $200/month turn into $2,000/month for almost a year with NO CHANGES.
All because these off-market sources don't know what their traffic is really worth.
And the best part? You can send traffic to ANY OFFER YOU WANT.
Crypto? No problem.
Weight loss? Sure thing.
Micro-dosing mushrooms? Go for it.
Try that on Facebook and see how fast you get banned.
*******************************
The Real Reason This Stays Underground
*******************************
Big marketers aren't interested in these "small potato" deals.
They can't spend $50,000 a day with a newsletter that only goes out once a week.
They need massive scale, so they stick to the mainstream platforms.
But for folks like us?
We're laughing all the way to the bank.
While they fight over expensive, saturated traffic...
We're getting the same quality visitors for pennies on the dollar.
That's the power of going "off market" with your traffic.
*******************************
The Million-Dollar Question
*******************************
So now you know WHO has the traffic and WHY they're the perfect solution...
But you might be wondering exactly HOW to find and approach these people.
Good question.
Most marketers stumble around in the dark here.
They either don't know where to look, send awkward cold messages, or blow negotiations.
And then they go right back to overpaying for Facebook ads.

What is Royalty Ronin?
*******************************
The Ronin Credo is "SERVE NO MASTER!"
It's a community for freelancers, coaches, and marketers who are burned out on client work.
Tired of working hard to make clients rich while getting treated poorly.
Tired of dancing to Facebook's algorithm and Google's quality score games.
Ronin is about using your skills to make yourself and your family rich – not clients.
It's about getting control of valuable assets with little or no money down.
Creating income streams that pay for weeks, months, or years from work you do once.
Let me know in the comments if this approach makes sense to you.
Or if you have any questions before Part 2 drops.
-Jeff
