The Under-talked Don'Ts on LINKEDIN

Before you start prospecting on LinkedIn, you absolutely must avoid spamming people or groups.

YOU DON'T CLOSE DEALS ON LINKEDIN

DEAL CLOSINGS TAKE PLACE VIA CALL OR EMAIL EXCHANGE (Especially high-ticket deals)

Spam will not get
you anywhere except quickly placed on the pay-no-mind list.

Quantity will not out-weight quality in this model. You will also be completely avoiding advertisements. (I will show you how to do this via inbox)

The self-service ads are expensive and a challenge if you’re an
amateur media buyer. Ads are two-edged sword; if you’re good, you can make almost unlimited money. If you’re terrible, it is a black-hole money trap.

However, there are benefits of LinkedIn ads in certain cases, but in a very narrow and specific sense: say you wanted to
advertise to every media buyer in the country; that could work, but at great expense. At the end of the day, ads are not a chief component of this model.

LINKEDIN IS YOUR ONLINE RESUME

LinkedIn gives you the opportunity of using your profile as an online profile. I will
Talk more about this. Moreover, there are at least 500 job openings, mostly remote, being posted daily on LinkedIn. When you are applying for these roles, you will have the opportunity to save your profile as a pdf and send to recruiters. You can also use resumeworded.com

HOW TO EASILY GROSS $1K/MONTH WITH YOUR FIVERR GIGS

..........
So last week, I talked about relevance and ranking of your keywords. These two are important and the determinants of your gig positioning (the competition is intense). Your gig may be deranked and what happens?
You are lost in the mud of fiverr backstage. It can be very silly.

WRITING A GOOD GIG DESCRIPTION....THINGS TO NOTE

Number 1 thing is your gig description must show/tell what you sell. Your prospects must be hooked. Things to include:

- hook
- assurance
- social proof
-Urgency
- assurance

I won't waste time on this but I have some tips to share. Many books have been written about the importance of attention, interest, and arguments...but aren't these mere details? When you break it down, aren't these the prerequisites for arousing feeling

HOW TO TRANSFORM YOUR DEAD FIVERR GIGS INTO A MONEY-POMPING MACHINE

I see many people creating their fiverr gigs in a completely frustrating way. No order will frustrate you. Creating fiverr gigs in a wrong way is the smartest way to end your fiverr career. It sucks.
The first thing is to know what you wanna do.

Write it down. Know your ideal clients. What are their pain points, desires, fears, and dreams.

For example, my ideal clients are weight loss coaches, fitness trainers and gym owners who reside in the US, UK, Canada, and Honk Kong
After this, go to fiverr, hit the search button and type using the keywords of your desired gigs. Know what freelancers like you are offering. Note their Unique Selling Points (UPSs) and the way they set up their gigs. It can be funny seeing new sellers without reviews

If you are a copywriter here, I urge you to treat your clients like criminal scumbags

If you ask 9 out of 10 copywriters what they want to know for making more sales, they'll ask you about all the best copywriting tricks, tactics, and techniques

But, they are asking the wrong
questions

That's like asking an FBI agent what's more important.....being able to shoot a criminal in the eye from 300 miles away or knowing how to profile a criminal so they know where that criminal will be, what their next move is, how they think, and the best way to catch
them.

Obviously, I'm not saying you should call your clients criminals

Or they are criminals (context, my friend, context)

But, if you know how to profile your clients like lawmen do....so you know everything about them psychologically, emotionally, and even physically....you

Check the marketplace and go through each category (called gigs) Image
For example, these are the sub-categories under video & animation category. This holds for all categories. Go for the sub-categories, not the main category. That's where the money is Image
Check these gigs under video animation gig. Check what people are doing to make mo$$. You too can do this. Who says you can't? Image

Thread continues......

The next goal is to establish your credibility as an expert on the service(s) you want to render. It gives you a chance to demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about or doing for the customer.
This leads to the final task your BAIT has to
perform, which is…

Setting the buyer up for your more expensive services.
Here’s an example of one kind of BAIT, leading into a more expensive service.

Let’s say you were offering a $5 gig, saying…
“I will write 300 words of SEO article”.
You write the article, use free site, like keywordtool.io, google trends, and seositecheckup.com for the article. This is you over delivering for your client.

Then after delivering the job, you tell your client you can help them with competitor research or a

I do not fancy birthday, but this thread is probably the best thread you will read on Twitter this year (If you take action).

It's a zero to hero, A-Z class on starting on Fiverr as a freelancer. If you don't need it, kindly RT for those who may need it on your TL
Who doesn’t need a little extra money now and then? We could all use a few dollars, or better yet, a few hundred or even thousands, to pay off a few bills, go on a vacation, or save a little money.
Or perhaps you, like me, are interested in starting a fulltime freelancing career
There is a way out of the rat race, and you don’t have to quit your day job to start. Virtually everyone is skilled at something. Perhaps you’re good at proofreading other people's work, you can use excel or PowerPoint, fierce at event planning or even make people laugh
