Take down these names:

Todd Brown,
Russell Brunson,
Chris Evans & Taylor Welch

Frank Kern

No, these are not the new clients I’m talking of — but they’ll lead you to your ideal clients

Here’s how: Visit each thought-leader’s website, sign up to their emails, check their sales pages or current offer pages

Look at the testimonials on all sales pages from biz/offer owners

Most of these folks are already making serious money w/great copy & mostly hv need for new copywriters

I'm always sending out cold emails/DMs, but mostly, no response

Smtimes, I'm lucky, I get a response, but it's either a "no thanks" or we'll be in touch

On the rare occasion a client takes interest in me, I tend to screw tins up

It hurts

I know

But here's a simple solution: If you obsess so much about ur pitch, you're going off track

Forget about your pitch, Be obsessed w/ finding out who ur ideal client really is...

What problem they're dieing to solve

& How u can them achieve (X)

In other words, spend *quality time researching your client

There's something called Story loops in Copywriting

I use it a lot in my emails

How it works:

You open a loop with 1 story

Create suspense

Draw ur reader into another story

Create suspense

And so on

The moral of each story is like a transition point into the next story If you'll use a story in your email or ad or VSL or sales copy

Don't start by saying "I'm going to tell you a story"

Hook your reader very early by starting your story in the middle of the action

Cut out the boring stuff too

Give ur reader action, emotional punch & suspense

How to sell your Brain for good money (Even if u have a Low IQ);

There's something in that brain of urs that thousands (even millions) will pay as much as N5,000, N10,000, even N50,000 just to have u teach them what u know since it can solve their problems;

The way it works is Step 1: Go to Pinterest, Reddit, FB, IG, Quora, Nairaland (don't ignr Twitter)

Focus on content/topics with great engagement

What are ppl raving or complaining about?

Difficulty getting Visa approval?
Child birth?
Better sex?
A profitable side hustle?
Self improvement?
Etc?

How to get Rich clients from Social Media, (Even if you don't have thousands of followers)

Getting deep pocket clients is easy.

The hard part is how you sell yourself or at least, position yourself so they come to you, instead of having to go to them.

The first thing is.... Clients who will pay you anything between N100,000 - N1.5Million to handle a project for them are not easily moved by generic claims like....

"I will boost your conversion rate and multiply sales"

Sure, for them, that's the end goal...

But the truth of the matter is....

Learn from my stupidity;

Back when BLACKBERRY Channels was still a hot money-making app;

I grew 2 channels that were bringing in a neat N300k/month

If you were active on BBM then, you may remember

1. Football Nation
2. Psyche Mechanics

What did I do with the money?

Read on Well for one,

I didn't save or invest it

I spent and gave out that money as quickly as it came in.

I thought I was being "nice and caring"

@RealNaijaGuy wrote a thread about this not too long ago

I looked after others & forgot about myself

Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

I see a lot of women making this mistake.

Mostly, they assume that if their man has money, then they'll always have financial security.

What if your man dies?
What if his business crumbles?
What if he suffers a stroke?
What if he loses his job?

How will you cope?

Listen.... It's a crazy world out there,

And as a woman,

What you don't want to do, is put yourself in a position where you don't have control over your finances

I'm not talking about having a job.

I'm not talking about saving money your man gives you.

No.

What I'm talking about is;

Applied severally, yet, no response?

Read this;

"How to Quickly get the Job you deserve, without a CV, a Cover letter or any of that standard nonsense you've been to told you need"
