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.

Building with AI costing an arm & leg? This is how I use Travis's pre-sell methods to save time, energy, and money when building A.I. tools that work. What's up peeps! I was having a chat with someone this morning who's been running into coding costs with Claude Code. Them tokens go REAL quick if you're not careful. And the money it costs is REAL. Now, I can barely spell coding. But I've built enough tools at this point... ...that I've "scrabbled" smart ways of saving time & money. I shared with him how I start with Claude CoWork first and THEN build out using Claude Code. But the truth is I start even BEFORE that with Claude Chat. If you're building something in here with A.I. like I know @Jason Eckerman's been promoting. This might save you a ton of time, energy, and tokens... AKA: cash, moola, or dineros. Plus you'll be able to help people easier. Let's dig in. ✅ #1: I start with Claude Chat Just like in Make 'Em Beg To Buy... Before diving into making an offer... You wanna UNDERSTAND... @Travis Sago Shared with me early on, "If you wanna double your income double your understanding of your prospective buyers experience..." Brainstorm the idea. Tell Claude what OUTCOME you want. Don't tell it what to "DO". When you tell it what outcome you want... Ask it what the best approach would be. After it gives you it's answer? Ask it for feedback. ~ What are the pros and cons of this approach? ~ What questions am I not asking that I should be asking? ~ What challenges are going to come up that I'm not anticipating? ~ How would you best solve these in the brainstorming phase? ~ Acting as a world class [insert expertise] what's the smartest way to approach building this in phases? You'd be surprised, when you lead with the OUTCOME you want first and let Claude brainstorm approaches, just how efficient it can be. ✅ #2: Using Claude CoWork: CoWork is where I start proofing each piece of my new solution.

I'm probably the last person to spot this, but if you ever needed further validation about how powerful auctions are (as taught by @Travis Sago), people are doing this live on ebay! This guy (pictured) currently has 53 people on there bidding for Pokemon cards.

Ever feel like the only person who might like your posts is your mum? You practised. You showed up. Rocked the hell out of that set. Not even the guy in the back cleaning the floors batted an eyelid. Just you. The mic. And an empty room.

I'm interested in knowing where the juiciest deals are... meaning FATTEST commissions. Could someone shed some light on this? I've been in this group for less than 24 hours and reading every post to find of what's good.
