Let’s pretend I have a reader who I’ve gone back and forth with a few times through the years. He’s very smart. Unlike all of those amateur hour types who talk online all day and brag about how hard they hit deals…he stays quiet and does much more than they can imagine.
How much more?
Well, so much that the mile and point game has provided him enough that he’ll never need to work again.
Like I said…a rare breed.
Let’s say I know for sure he’s telling the truth because he talks about the exact things that can’t be blogged about without killing them for everyone. Not really the deals themselves, but how he scaled them to such a degree. He’s someone who has earned more in this game during the last 5 years than I’ve made in my life.
If this reader came to me one day and very respectfully asked to talk about something…of course I’d listen.
What if he then offered to write a document of how he did so well in this hobby? A completely open and detailed account of the top few deals he has done (which have totaled 7 figures of money and 8 figures of points).
Of course, he’d have my attention.
But then what if he said the document could only be available for $100 per person to a very limited number of people? Specifically, people who I trusted would keep it private.
Well, shit.
If he came to me very nicely out of respect for what I do here…I’d be in a tricky situation.
I don’t push links or use any ads here like everyone (including him) knows. So my reply would be to reach out to someone more suited to help with something like this. But his response would be, “Well, I could sell it for a much higher price to a commercial blogger. There’s a reason I came to you.”
Why?
“Because I trust you. Your readers aren’t stupid. People who are interested in learning how to scale deals big can learn how I did it in the past & apply it to future opportunities. I only want a small group seeing it. If ambitious, learning that mindset & the specifics of how I did it is worth 10 times what I’m charging. This isn’t available online. Especially not blogs or Reddit. I’m almost retired now. This will be the only time I speak about how I got here & the readers will benefit much more than I will. But I’m not doing it for free. So are you in?”
Let’s say that happened.
And let’s say I felt lost about what to do.
In that scenario, I’d probably ask for a few days and then write a post asking for advice.
Yup.
I need advice. So please feel free to email me and give me some…
