"How do I make time for freelancing when I have a full-time job and family?"

You're not going to get 10 clients in a blink of an eye.

So it's unlikely you'll spend a lot of time freelancing at first.

Do this instead:

Focus on getting your first client.

How👇

\thread
Step #1: Outreach

Reach out to:
• Your parents
• Family members
• Friends
• Acquaintances
• Everyone in you contact list

Let them know you started a business.

Why them first?
Working with people you trust is easier than working with strangers.

Get the experience of working for others.

Meanwhile, develop your system to delivering on your promises.

If you fail, at least you failed with something that will forgive you.
I started my career as a web designer by designing my dad's website.

And the first person who ever paid me for a website was my godmother.

Work for free if you have to.
Step #2: Deliver on your promises.

By doing so, people will happily provide you with a testimonial.

This, my friend, is golden.

And it doesn't even matter that you worked for free.

What matters is that you delivered and someone is happy about the service you provided.
Step #3: Worry about making time for freelancing while having a full-time job and family

By then, you'll have testimonials and, potentially, paying clients.

In other words, stop worrying about problems you don't currently have.

Solve the ones you have at the moment.

If Someone Were
To Challenge Me
To Make $100,000
With Social Media
From Scratch (Again),
This Is What I’d Do.

\thread
Have you wondered how it feels to make your first $100K online?

It feels like making your first $1, but 100K better.

I’m here to show you the 11-step system to make $ with social media even if you have less than 1000 followers.
I was still broke in 2019.

I had made some money online, but not as much as I needed to quit my job.

By the end of that year, I had gone from $0 to $100K+.

In the first 2 months of 2020, I had already earned 60% of what I did in 2019.

I got a raise at my 9-5.

My wife quit her job to focus on our 6-month old baby.

A month later, I got fired.

And what happened next, changed my life forever

\thread
Imagine this.

You're broke.

You and your spouse are unemployed.

You have a 6-month old kid to feed.

You're lost and taken aback because a month prior you had been given a salary raise.

And now you have nothing.
I was born and raised lower-middle class in the Dominican Republic.

I live here. And I'm planning to raise my 2 kids here too with my wife Brenda.

For years, Brenda had told me, "Jose, you're a smart man. Why don't you start a business?"

I regret not paying attention to her...

I just lost $12K

(I make the mistakes so that you don't have to)

\ thread
Nothing makes me sadder than losing money.

Well... not having money makes me sadder.

But that's not a problem anymore.

Losing it is.

Here's how I lost $12,000 last Wednesday.
So it's 9:50 AM.

I'm getting ready for a sales call.

I'm sure I'm going to close the deal.

I've helped John in the past and his coaching business is doing great.

I know for a fact he'll say, "Yes! I'm in."

It's quite simple, really.

Step #1: Decide what to sell
Step #2: Drive traffic to the offer
Step #3: Convert traffic into sales

Let me unpack this for you

\thread
An online business is a business that makes money (or a great chunk of it) from online sales.

Most of its systems, processes, and operations are done online.

The major difference between online biz and offline biz is speed.

That's why is so cool to have one.

SPEED!

Step #1: Decide what to sell
