    Struggling with finding the right path

    MINDSET 
    Hey Clemens, perhaps you can ask yourself, "What can I offer that would make someone happy? What can I offer at all?" At the end of the day, you just need to go out there with these offers and see how the market reacts. Even if they've been done before, there are always problems to solve that...

    HOT! INTRO 
    Day 85-89 This week was spent emailing web designers and local businesses for copywriting services. And going out to sell pens and window cleaning. Right now, I'm working on building up a portfolio of spec pieces like sales pages, landing pages, and emails. I feel once I have more of those and...

    If you're going the local business approach, just walk up to them. Go in smiling and ask, "I was wondering if you guys needed a website for your business?" No? Ok, thanks much! And walk out smiling. Unto the next person who'll need your services. Yes? They'll then probably call the manager...

    The fundamentals of entrepreneurship: How I sold "air"

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Thank you FD! You're 100% right and looking forward to your posts! Ace the basics, and you can recreate more complex lego sets haha. Since my "Available cash" was near zero, I knew if I was going to provide value, it needed to have a fulfilment cost near zero as well. You start to realise you...

    I watched this inspiring "Survival" video by Ryan Trahan where he tried to survive on $0.01 for 30 days while crossing America. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEqi3VVLYkg One key moment in the video for me was when he bought a $1 bottle, went to a group of people on the beach who were...

    Getting My First Ever YES (Video Marketing Agency)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    I had the same challenge recently, but I think it's just about stepping back and asking yourself, "What can I offer that would make someone happy? What do I have or can get that would make someone happy?" And sometimes ideas just flow. Else, you could just ask yourself, "What can I offer at...

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    Dude, your story is uber-inspring and the growth is phenomenal! I'm super proud of you lol! What mattered was correcting the heart and aligning it with your work and once that's done, well, things tend to fall into place. Regardless, here's to going further beyond!

    i need advice

    IDEA 
    There are sites like Kickstarter and Crowdfund Innovations & Support Entrepreneurs you can use to fund your ideas. But the kind of testing I was talking about was something closer to home? Perhaps your new business idea is an advanced paint brush that helps professional painters paint in a...

    i need advice

    IDEA 
    Hey Fabio, here's to your future success! You could sketch up your business idea and explain it to those who you think would benefit greatly from it (benefits, features, how it's better than what's already out there). You can then ask for a pre payment to help fund the idea explaining they'll...

    WEB DESIGN 
    Mm. Make an offer to people who need it, and then ask for payment to fulfil it. You could start small too by going to your shop centre and buying something small like pens or bottles of water, and then finding and selling it to people in need (e.g. people at the park, or at the gym) then ask for...

    WEB DESIGN 
    I think you can have a website up and running with zero code involved in less than a day as you said e.g. web flow, Wordpress etc. Once you've found a need and you want a website, you could use one of those. You could offer to create websites for other business owners in your area, learn about...

    Day 80-84 Forget you. Help them. This week was spent analysing great copy, sending Upwork proposals and critiques to local business owners. And then writing a spec piece about us page which I think was good enough by a 7 figure marketer's standards, so I can write well now? XD For the next...

    How do you know when to 'Give Up'?

    EXECUTION 
    I remember MJ once saying... You can give up when two conditions have been fulfilled: A) You've made your first sale B) When a large enough sample proves you should readjust or stop.

    What features should I promise on the landing page?

    On the surface, it looks pretty good! But, who's your target market? And can you tell a little bit more about the product? Without these, it'd be difficult to say wether it's really a benefit to your target market. The headline does sound a little vague and could probably target their pains more...

    What features should I promise on the landing page?

    Why not both? You can position the main feature before the "coming soon" features, it could make for a more compelling offer. Try to focus on the benefits instead of the features on the landing page though. People buy benefits, not features, so express aim to express that in your copy. For...

    Day 75-79 The $10K Upwork Profile I started this week by revamping my Upwork profile. I searched by my work term, "copywriter", and sorted by those freelancers that had earned over $10K on the platform. I then copied down about 10 of them, found the underlying pattern all of them had, and used...
