I asked A.I. to write me a simple playbook based off the New Money from Old Courses training and other posts in the group… … for use to structure my first licensing deal, even if I'm a complete beginner and don't have my own IP to rent out. Here’s that Playbook: (complete with examples, how-to’s and Travis-style tips included) *** Reader beware - there’s more hyperlinked reference posts in here than a new car dealership full of wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men *** ==== Step 1. Find IP to License (or Distribution to Control) - Look for "trash can assets" - old/current courses or content creators aren't actively using (or in the same way you want to use it) - Example: Travis licensed a webinar recording in just 8 lines over Facebook Messenger - How-to: Reach out to past customers or subscribers: "Hey, I noticed you created [product]. Are you still actively selling it? I might have some ideas to breathe new life into it." - Check the Welcome Start Here post comments. Lot of IP owners introducing themselves there! Travis-style tip: "Don't be afraid to start small! Even a single email template or sales letter can be licensed and turn into a steady income stream. Remember, you could license an email for $1,000 that might bring in royalties for years!" [Want more Loot? LICENSING not WRITING is the answer...] Travis-style distribution-first approach: "If you're starting from scratch, consider finding someone with an audience first. Approach influencers or businesses in your niche and ask if they're open to collaborations. Once you have a 'yes', you can then go find the perfect product to match their audience's needs." [Newbie question comments]

I've got a library of video content going back to 2014. One of the things I'm excitedly focused on is using AI to repurpose the content into books, courses, membership programs and so much MORE! I am blown away by what Claude AI, Perplexity, and POE AI can create that I can monetize with the licensing model. 👍There are endless licensing money machines to build using A.I. 👀I believe MARRYING AI and Licensing gives birth to the most stress-free income babies ever born! If you don't have content of your own? There are heaps of coaches, consultants, content creators, experts, and business owners with a fortune in IP just "sitting under their mattresses." ...without the know-how or time to monetize it. How interested would you be in me talking more about AI and royalty payments? 🖕1= I'd rather spend a weekend at my mother-in-law's than use AI to earn royalties. 👍10= I'd spend a weekend with my mother-in-law to learn more! (or somewhere in between? LOL) Sound off 👇 Thanks in advance! Rooting For Ya, Travis

He wasn't always a billionaire. Turn the clock back to 1945... He was a pimple-faced sophomore in high school... With $25 and ballz of steel, he started his first business... He bought a used Pinball Game for $20 and put about $5 into repairs. What he did next was legendary. He didn't "flip" the Pinball machine for $100. That would've been good. Nobody would've shamed him for a 300% return on his money. But he didn't do that... What he did was GREAT and one of the reasons he became a billionaire. What did he do? He went to a barber shop and made a deal with the barber. "With your permission, I'd like to place this pinball machine in the corner over there. It will be great entertainment for your patrons. It will turn their wait time into fun. We'll split the money 50/50. You will never have to do anything. I will clean, service and collect the money." The barber said, "Okay!" (Why wouldn't he?) On the first DAY... He collected $4. He'd thought he died and gone to heaven. The first month, he collected over $120, and $60 was his split. Now... Not only did he have his investment back... He had enough money to invest in another Pinball machine and do it again. And he did... He had 8 pinball machines placed and cranking in income at one point. $480 a month... Every month... Doesn't seem like a lot in 2024. But in today's dollars... That would be $8700 per month. Now today... He's a billionaire. One of the richest men on Earth. He has said that his pinball business was one of the best businesses he ever ran, and it taught him a lot about prioritizing a business's cash flow. His name is Warren Buffet. Now... I am no Warren Buffet. But what Warren Buffet did as a kid with Pinball Machines... I do with intellectual property. 👉I create, buy or get control of intellectual property dirt cheap. My favorite is marketing IP—stuff that makes stuff sell. But courses, programs, worksheets, templates, ANYTHING useful that gives a result works. (For example, the pinball machine entertained them while they waited to be served.)

YOU are one of the 1st to know... for 9.99... I'm handing you the one thing that fixed 99% of my money probs - as a young man. Using this one thing + affiliate marketing part-time while I was still punching a time clock... ... I started making 40 hours of pay for 1 hour of "work," and it set me free at 38. I still use the SAME one thing today to earn 40 hours of pay for 1 minute of "work." As you know... I’m an ex-Navy electronics technician. I fixed broken electronic systems for 8 years. When I got out of the Navy, I went broke (several times) trying to learn how to sell stuff. I read all the sales books. Fail. Fail! FAIL! 💡💡💡Finally, I realized selling (and money-making) is like electronics. ✅You don’t fix electronics (or sales) by understanding the equipment. ✅You fix electronics by understanding electricity. 👉You fix sales by understanding PRE-SELLING! (What happens in people's minds BEFORE the sale.) 👉You fix MONEY problems by fixing your sales problems (and plugging expense "leaks.") I fixed my “sales” and money problems and sold millions of dollars of stuff. My wife, Jeannie, tells me she’s proud of me all the time. We’ve been married almost 30 years. Her admiration means more to me than all the money in the world! ===>Now I invite you to pre-order so you can Make Em Beg to Buy too! ...whether you're selling your stuff or a partner's stuff...it works!

Travis has been so amazing helping out in this group that I wanted to offer something that might help some of you guys out. For over 5 years now I’ve used a super simple LinkedIn automated lead gen strategy to provide consistent booked calls for my Agency & Coaching business. Regardless of what the market has done, it’s always been consistent in bringing me in some cashola every month. 💰 It’s also really useful for finding what I’ve been calling “Heavy Lifters” aka people with lists, products to license, assets to use. 😎 Anyone want my trainings for it? I have them laid out on a simple Google doc for whoever wants them. You can have your first campaign setup within an hour. It takes little to zero tech knowledge (I’m elementary level when it comes to tech & funnels) Just looking to help out! Let me know in the comments. 👇 To your success! -Scott
