There are all kinds of ways to generate web traffic: email marketing, social media, videos, article marketing, public speaking, word of mouth, list swaps, affiliates, virtual summits, and the list goes on.

But surely the best kind is referrals, when your existing customers refer other people. That requires no investment of time or money on your part, and these tend to be your best customers.

And that has been the driver of Low Stress Options, which has grown sixfold over the course of 2025.

People saw their results, and had to tell their family members and friends.

Out of curiosity, I went to the LSO community (a discussion forum) and typed my own name into the search bar. Here are the testimonials that have been written just over the past week alone, and these are just the testimonials that reference my name!

First one:

Just Crossed the $1K Milestone Yesterday!

Just crossed the $1k premium milestone with rolls yesterday. Placed my first trade on 11/10. Currently averaging 1.38%/wk. 

Really excited to be a part of this, thanks Troy Broussard, John Sanpietro, and all the LSO team for this great framework and all the infrastructure you’ve built to support it. Truly an impressive effort, and like Tom Woods says, you’ve found a wrinkle in the matrix!

Next one (he refers to a "coin"; these are challenge coins you receive when you reach certain profit milestones):

#results

$5k coin. Thanks John Sanpietro, Troy Broussard, and Tom Woods!

I anticipated getting this in March '26, but here it is before the end of year. 

Even after 6 mos & thinking I have the strategy down, I'm still finding mistakes in my execution and understanding. Really appreciate the community nudging me back on track. Appreciate the strategy being tolerant of those mistakes and I'm still making money nicely (3mo avgwror 1.38%). 

Next one:

My Highest 1-Week Premium To Date!

Merry Christmas to me from the framework! I just had the highest 1-week premium to date, of over $5,200. I have been trading since July.

Thanks for making the last half of 2025 totally amazing Troy Broussard, John Sanpietro, and all of the staff who make it happen behind the scenes. 

Special thanks to Tom Woods for nagging his listeners to jump on board. It's been an amazing experience.

LSO has allowed me to finance moving from overseas to CA with my family to help care for my aging and in-need mother. It also helps pay for her medical and caregiving expenses.

I am blessed to be able to pay her back for being the greatest mother I could have ever wanted.

This is life-changing and makes me tear up knowing that I can confidently spend time with my mother in her final years. 

Next one:

Just passed 1K in profit! 

Big thanks to Tom Woods for his podcast introducing me to LST [Low Stress Trading; same thing]. Huge thanks to Troy Broussard, John Sanpietro, Lindsay Sewell, and everyone else on the LST Team who have made the training clear and who have created this platform and community.

I made some mistakes right out of the gate that have slowed me down. But I didn't panic and have learned some lessons along the way.  Excited to continue the learning process and to build my account in 2026 and beyond.

 

Next one (this one had no headline):

Just want to post a big Thank You to Tom Woods for introducing me to Low Stress Trading. Tom also introduced me to Monetary Metals, so he has done far more to improve my portfolio than any financial advisor I have ever consulted!  

And I can't resist this one from ten days ago:

Six months in and $71.5k in profits

Today ends exactly 6 months (26 weeks) since I started trading Low Stress Options. The first week I traded on 2 accounts for about $125 in premiums. Since then I've added more accounts to my LSO portfolio. To date I've brought in over $71.5k in profits and premium since that first week. I fully expect to hit the $100k mark sometime during the next quarter.

To say this framework has been life-changing would be a huge understatement.  About half of my earnings have been in my IRA which I don't, thankfully, have a need to touch right now. Over the next calendar year I'm hoping some of my legacy stock positions will be able to be sold so I can put those funds to work making 1% premiums. Once that happens I'll see even faster growth in my accounts.

Thank you so much Troy Broussard, John Sanpietro, and the rest of the LSO team, as well as Tom Woods, who introduced me to LSO. I know Tom has more important things on his plate today [TW note: this testimonial was posted the day Henry David Woods, our newborn son, was born]. I'm looking forward to a very productive trading year in 2026.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, everyone!!

Those are some solid testimonials! And that's how you drive traffic!

Tomorrow (Tuesday) and Wednesday I'm holding the final calls of the year with LSO creator Troy Broussard at noon Eastern each day: we'll discuss the framework and take your questions.

Yes, you can do this as a beginner, and yes, I hear your brain telling you this isn't something you ever expected to do (same boat here) and that it must be "risky."

Totally understandable if you're having those thoughts. But reread those testimonials (all unsolicited, by the way) from just the past week alone, and determine to get outside your comfort zone and join me: click here to register for one of the calls, get your questions answered or just come and watch, and I'll see you there!
