Ok. From the sublime to the ridiculous maybe. My first go was a reasonable success with a deal done with an owner of a 3k list of subscribers where a 3 time blast cost me just $50. On my second go, with a different list owner, I have sent out the first email enquiring if he would be open to someone sponsoring the newsletter (worded in the special Shogun Method way) and his response was a simple "Tell me more". So I responded as per the Shogun method again and asked him basically what kind of price would work for him on a test like this and he came back with... "Hi Roy, This can go out to over 330k people for $10k USD (paid upfront)." Wow! So, I'm a bit stumped at that. $10k is obviously way too big for a test and a lot more than I'd want to spend right out of the gate, so.. Help @Travis Sago! How the heck should I respond? Thanks in advance.

So I sent my first Shogun Method email out to a list owner and here we are with the first deal done! He only has a small list of 3,000, but after his first reply asking about how much I was prepared to pay, I used (virtually copy and pasted) the 2nd email template from the Shogun Method to reply and we have a deal at the price HE suggested. 3 separate ads in his weekly newsletter. Total cost for 3 ads to his 3k subscribers?... $50 bucks! Hmmm. Reckon I might use the Shogun Method a LOT more! Thanks @Travis Sago

Shogun Roy Carter got his hands on the Shogun Traffic Method last week... Today, he's already scored! Roy gets Rockstar of the Day! Did ya check out the pic? How exciting is that? (Below, I'm showing ya how he could get the traffic free too.) He nailed THREE ads to 3,000 subscribers for $50. $16.66 per insert! Roy can do this anytime he wants now. He could even do this if he was homeless and broke... I'm gonna lay it out for ya... But first, I want you to understand that… Screaming deals like this can NOT be bought FB adz, YT, Google, X etc... Just like in so many markets: Real Estate, Autos, etc... The hottest deals are OFF-MARKET! ===>Get off market traffic deals for a song Now... What if Roy were totally broke? He could still drive all the traffic to his stuff he can shake a stick at. How? Here's one of the most important things I've learned about biz and investing over the years... FINDING THE DEAL is EVERYTHING! You do NOT need money when you can find great deals. If land is going for $10,000 an acre in Pulaski County, Arkansas and you score 3 acres (off market) for $10,000... You can subdivide the land into two or three parcels. Then what? You sell 2 acres for $5,000 each... Which would sell lickety-split because you're still selling for HALF of the market value. And you KEEP the 3rd acre for yourself and pay nothing. Ya see? Roy (or any Shogun) can do the same thing. Buy the traffic so cheap, sell off part of it and keep a chunk for yourself. You “subdivide” the ad! In Roy's example... There are tons of groups he could make a post in and sell two spots for $25 each with ease. That gives him $50 bucks back... And now Roy’s ad is FREE! I did these subdivided traffic deals a lot when I was getting started. You can add two or three zeroes and this still works great.

===>Here's the BIG BONUS for my book readers Rooting For Ya, Travis PS I'm sorry I couldn't stay long. I'm tryna wrap things up so I can chill in the pool with Jeannie tomorrow!

I cut my online teeth as an affiliate with paid ads to strangers. I had no copywriting training. I had the design skills of a color-blind toddler. Yet... I would sell so much stuff: Lil Giant Ladders, Hoodia, Payday loans, online dating services and more... ...that often the affiliate manager or company rep would reach out to me. They'd look at my ugly landers, written in folksy copy, and be flummoxed by how I was crushing it so hard. I even had a few come right out and say, "I've never seen such an amateurish landing page convert so well. You're beating everyone's numbers by a mile." (From memory, they said it slightly different.) There were 2 things I did way different than everyone else: 👉I communicated with my visitors. Back in 2004, I'd put my email address on the lander in big, bold letters. I'd find out stuff other affiliates and I doubt even the company knew about their prospects. When LIVE CHAT came out...I started putting chat widgets on my page. 👉I had the art of PRE-SELLING down pat. The MOST important part of converting cold traffic isn't bigger promises, more testimonials or a mastery of NLP copywriting. And the most important part of pre-selling cold traffic? Finding out what they are absolutely fed up with about their CURRENT OPTIONS to get what they want and give them a new, clearly different and exciting way out. (I put all this and more in my book: Make Em Beg to Buy from You.) 👉Sharing the new, clearly different option in a RELEVANT to their life way by talking like they talk. Writing like a real person. By combining those 3 things: Listening and FINDING OUT what they are already doing, why it's not working and what they are fed up with... And then positioning the offer around THAT... Converts cold traffic. EXAMPLE: I sold a heap of an appetite suppressant called: Hoodia While most landing pages looked oh so professional with doctors on them and spoke in medical-ese... Mine started with...
