A Question for Agency Owners

[Domis]

Hey guys, I started a Short Form Content Agency ~2 weeks ago. Since then I have basically ran out of people to reach out to, because my niche is law and the only way I search for clients is by typing words like "Lawyer" or "Attorney" into the YouTube search bar and sending them an example clip through Email. I got exactly 0 responses. Are there any other specific ways to find clients?

GOLD! - HOT! - MARKETING - Andy's Inbound/Sales Braindump

I was asked this a while ago: If you were to start your business from scratch, how would you approach prospecting? Given that you don't cold call. And you don't know many people in the business world to "spend your money on diesel and coffee" with. And you've already reached out to your friends...

Oh shit, Andy liked my post

I suspect you'd do better at this stage by not niching down too.

"Say Yes to start. Say No to scale."

I presented how I started my own business to @Fox 's group. I may do it again sometime and shove it on YouTube if you're interested.

Ah, that's cool. Saves me doing it again. Thanks Rob.

I'll dig out the recording, edit it down a bit, post to YouTube, and create a thread for it.

So should I just go after anybody in any niche?

Go after a problem worth solving that you now have the skills to solve (or can quickly learn).

People aren't paying you cause you picked a niche - they are paying you cause you can get them something they want.

What kind of problem could I solve by making short form content? Because I personally just see it as generating more leads to lawyers (a niche that uses Youtube as a tool for more appointments)

Ha. I literally uploaded this video to YouTube yesterday. It was more to play around with B-Roll which I've never done before.

Great video! Did you edit it yourself?

Yeah. I did that myself. Lol... I just realised I dropped a short video into the progress thread of someone doing short videos.

I don't think it's that great a video though. It was just me mucking about adding b-roll using Descript. The script wasn't great. It needs to grab and keep people's attention better.

Yeah, but the editing itself definitely already has a strong base.

I think that's Descript flattering me. It makes editing certain types of videos as easy as editing a Word document.

Here, I created a thread about Descript:

Yeah, CapCut is also a very easy tool for Short Form Content (I think some versions also have automatic one word captions), although I have moved to using Premiere for more detailed edits

schedule a call through my signature link and let's see how we can work together.

If there's 1 thing I'm realizing is that I should've been leveraging partnerships way way more and way long ago.

We're better together. Ain't that right @ZCP

MINDSET - The magic of this forum is the relationships you build

Many forum members never learn that the magic of the forum is the relationships you build. Some are insta-banned for posting a link to their crappy affiliate offer in their first post. Others post long pieces of "content", wonder why they get a negative reaction or no reaction at all, and...
