    Attempting to Build A Productocracy [Niche > Problem > Pre-sell > Solution]

    HOT! INTRO 
    I was just thinking whether TikTok > text-based book is the most appropriate format of content or marketing channel. Most people on TikTok are used to watching fast-paced videos. I don't know anything about your specific target audience though. I've seen some people do well with Discord servers...

    Attempting to Build A Productocracy [Niche > Problem > Pre-sell > Solution]

    HOT! INTRO 
    What's your funnel setup right now? TikTok organic videos > CTA + link in bio > ??? > Sales page? Are you using a free lead magnet to get them on an email list or discord before pushing for the sale?

    Attempting to Build A Productocracy [Niche > Problem > Pre-sell > Solution]

    HOT! INTRO 
    Ok, once you get to the marketing part, I'd recommend checking out a video summary of Dotcom Secrets on Youtube, that should give you the main ideas from it. Ideally Expert Secrets too. If you do want to do email marketing, it shouldn't be too hard to set up. You can just start with a free tool...

    Attempting to Build A Productocracy [Niche > Problem > Pre-sell > Solution]

    HOT! INTRO 
    Have you considered using the strategy of a "lead magnet" and then email marketing to sell to your list? If you can get email addresses, that's a valuable asset. You could use something similar to your book e.g. the first few chapters for free in exchange for their email addresses. You can...

    Cannot even get 1 meeting with potential customers

    HOT! MARKETING 
    In the first post you made it sound like your problem was getting any kind of validation for your product. That's clearly not the problem then. As you've already got validation from 5,000 people, it would actually be a much easier problem to solve. Giving up after you've got validation sounds...

    Cannot even get 1 meeting with potential customers

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Based on the approach you've been taking for outreach, there's no way to know whether your product solves a big enough problem or not. You simply haven't been doing it right. You need to first of all: 1. Figure out who your ideal client is Would this really be "somebody in Digital Marketing"...

    Watch Me Build A $10k+/m Local Lead Generation (Marketing) Agency

    EXECUTION 
    I probably will do if this approach doesn't work, or after I've found a niche with demand. Cold email is what I know how to do best though. I’ve gotten good results with it in the past, seen it work for others, and can do higher volume. With these types of businesses, there's often a...

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Interesting. They seem to be like valuetainment/infotainment style where the posts are entertaining but also provide some value. I guess they're quite relatable to your audience and evoke some kind of emotional response too. I saw this tool recently which shows you viral posts in your niche - I...

    Watch Me Build A $10k+/m Local Lead Generation (Marketing) Agency

    EXECUTION 
    Been doing some outreach via cold email and LinkedIn to this new niche. Haven't sent a ton of messages/requests yet, but it seems like there isn't a huge demand here. Unless they're just not checking their emails/LinkedIn accounts, which could be the case. Either way though, I'm going to change...

    Figuring Out LinkedIn (Sales, Prospecting, More)

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I feel like longer story-type posts are the ones I see do best on LinkedIn. Often with some kind of image or GIF attached. Have you tried telling stories there? I know you have a bunch of good ones. That "show don't tell" story comes to mind - where you showed those potential clients their site...

    Watch Me Build A $10k+/m Local Lead Generation (Marketing) Agency

    EXECUTION 
    Quick update - holding myself accountable: So after trying to get started in that first niche, I realised it was not a good fit for the offer. My intro service wouldn't have worked for them - confirmed after talking to a potential client, and my friend who also has a similar offer. I also had...

    Quit $450k job to go fastlane: smart or not?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    So he quit his soul-sucking job with no clear path to progression, in exchange for working for himself with the potential of being a "fastlane" entrepreneur. Sounds like he made the right decision to me. Maybe he didn't enjoy his job at Netflix, but he's proven that he knows how to get a job...

    Spend your money on diesel and coffee

    HOT! 
    I was just talking to @Edgar King about getting clients, and part of the conversation reminded me of this thread. So I thought I'd share my experience here: Edgar: How did you two meet? Me: I think it was at a language exchange event originally, so pretty random. He ended up living at the...

    How not to cold message

    Something tells me you might've had one or two of these guys reach out to you before

    How not to cold message

    MARKETING 
    Exactly, gotta keep that awareness level in mind. Not very likely they'll be ready for a direct offer in the first message, otherwise they'd probably already be out there searching for it. You can sometimes catch someone in that window, but most of the market won't be there. The only exception...
