Task 1 - Pick a target Choose category of people who might need your services RU-vidrs, etsy shop owners, travel bloggers, etc Task 2 - Find 10 targets Not so big they have a team already, not so small they can’t afford you At least 5k subs, at most 30k They need to be generating cash flow (via products, website, courses, etc) Task 3 - Pick a problem Not enough time to do everything (good if you have no skills) They want to make more money Task 4 - Match a solution What can you do to offer a solution to the problem? Tie it to the context of the problem and their business goals Task 5 - Make a portfolio Make samples for the solutions you’re offering Example: pretend captions, pretend instagram graphics, etc Task 6 - Decide on no-brainer pricing You are not marrying this pricing. You can increase it with each client Start lower than you think so that it’s not a huge risk for the client Task 7 - Get in front of 1 target Contact one person on your list of ten Cold pitch, contact on social media, go into their store They probably will ignore you but that’s okay, you’ve taken the first step Final Task - make $1 Contact the other people on that list of ten Keep contacting people until you have your first client
Omg after watching this video and implementing the steps, I literally got my first client today!!! I’m super excited and grateful for this channel. Many blessings to you Deya 💚
this was extremely helpful and made the freelancing process feel so easy with how you broke it down. I was getting hella overwhelmed trying to start so gonna put this in action. Thanks Deya 😊
I'm really happy with the people who really care about helping & feeding others with further details & real information unlike others who use some ' LIES " for quite advertised videos & promotions to get caught in their channels, Thank you Deya you are really Incredible, keep going!
This is the logical and rational pitching strategy I have been ever taught. Million thanks to you! So exciting to watch the cold pitching tutorial video that you mentioned. *I promise that I will come back by next week to say you guys that I land my first paid client❤
Discovered your channel today, and subscribing! Already watched the "Best & Worst freelancing platforms..." video. If there are any other videos in your channel that someone still getting their footing in freelancing should watch (either on your channel or someone else's) please send any recommendations; really like your approach.
That was an amazing video! It really motivated me, and I have been binging your videos recently. Do you have some tips for web development freelancer, who is targeting small businesses for a landing page?
Great video! I'm cold pitching now. What kind of follow-up schedule would you recommend for people who don't respond? I have started sending out one follow-up a week after my original pitch, but I'm not sure if future follow ups are a good idea if they don't respond to the follow up.
Hi Jessica! I normally follow up within 5-7 days, yes. Have you watched my cold pitching series by chance? I'd say researching the client, writing a really good cold pitch that fits what they need + presenting yourself as the best solution is more important as if the offer is great, the pitchee normally will bookmark to reply.
Hi i am from Tajikistan. The country with poor job provision to its population. I am new here so can you please direct me to first and real site to make money. I would like to start as a data entry or anything else u could recomend for beginners. Thx. U will save my life if direct me to the right site.
What about students? Or better yet adult students in Masters programs or residency programs (these students usually have regular jobs, therefore can pay).
2:20 How do you do this though? I tried to go through my watch history and see what channels are in that sweet spot so I could sound genuine when I pitch them since you know...I actually watch their videos lol but most of them are way above that sweet spot So what do you suggest?
I think you need a balance of the two but your priority should be quality -- especially because I really doubt any of those automated pitches (unless the product is SUPER good and a no brainer) work. Obviously the ideal is to send as many as possible without impacting the quality of your cold pitches. Personally, I'd rather send 10 great/personalized/thoughtful pitches than 100 mediocre/unpersonalized/automated ones. Just my 2 cents!
@@MyNameIsDeya ok, thanks 😄 Procrastination and perfectionism eat me up from the inside. Definitely should try all possible options) Btw, already have a couple of rejections from HRs related to unpaid internship I'm on the right way 😅
