Gets deals without a portfolio
Portfolios get you bosses (but THIS gets you ROYALTIES)
BURN YOUR PORTFOLIO...
Jason here...
A copywriter sent me the Google docs link to their portfolio last week.
Beautiful work. Fancy case studies. Professional-looking mockups.
They spent MONTHS perfecting it.
But I had to ask them one question...
👉 "How many HIGH-PAYING clients has this portfolio actually landed you?"
crickets
See, I've closed over a handful of royalty deals in the past few months.
Guess how many times someone asked to see my portfolio?
ZERO.
Not. Even. Once.
In fact, in my three BIGGEST deals last year, do you know what the clients actually cared about?
❌ Not my past.
❌ Not my samples.
❌ Not my fancy PDF of previous work.
They cared about ONE THING: could I solve their SPECIFIC problem?
"Can you help me turn my existing content into something that sells while I sleep?"
"Can you place what I've already created in front of the right audience?"
"Can you help me leverage what I've already built?"
That's the secret NOBODY'S talking about...
The REAL portfolio isn't visible. You can't put it in a PDF.
It happens when you PLACE valuable assets where they'll actually make MONEY.
It spreads through whispered conversations:
"Talk to [insert your name here]. He helped me turn my book into a royalty machine."
I once watched a complete "nobody" - zero experience, zero portfolio, zero following - get control of an email list of 80,000 people.
How valuable was that list?
At $2 per subscriber (MINIMUM value) = $160,000 ASSET!
How did they do it?
They simply said:
"I'll take ALL the risk. You don't have to do ANY work. We only split profits if it succeeds."
👉 BOOM!
When you remove ALL the risk from the other person's plate, suddenly they stop asking about your experience.
Reality check:
👉👉👉 You don't need to prove yourself first.
👉👉👉 You don't need prior results.
👉👉👉 You don't need 27 portfolio pieces.
You just need to be willing to do the work (or partner with someone ELSE who will)...
And take on the risk yourself.
Most People think: "Once I build an impressive portfolio, THEN I can get the good deals."
But reality shows us it works EXACTLY BACKWARDS:
👉👉👉 You don't need results FIRST to get the deal.
👉👉👉 You get the deal FIRST by removing all the risk.
👉👉👉 THEN the results come.
Are portfolios completely worthless?
No.
They're GREAT for getting J-O-B-S.
But I'm not looking for MORE bosses.
Are you?
If you're looking to land royalty deals that pay while you sleep...
Portfolios are 100% UNNECESSARY.
I figured this out inside the Royalty Ronin community.
It's 500+ people following the credo: "Serve no master."
And deals are happening DAILY to create income without bosses.
Travis has packaged over $10k worth of his courses in as a bonus.
If you find it's not for you, it's super easy to cancel.
But if there's a simpler way to land deals TOMORROW without a portfolio or big results behind ya…
I have yet to find it.
In Your Corner,
Jason
