It's almost 3am and I can't sleep, just wanted to share something that's troubling me.
So basically after joining this forum I've had a huge mindset shift already and although I'm still hopeful I'm right and my current project works out, I'm seeing how valuable selling a skill can be.
I'm really good at growing audiences, especially on Facebook. I've grown pages to 1.8M likes, 700k likes, 350k likes, 300k likes, several more with 50k+ likes and generated 6 figure earnings through these pages. I've always paid attention to the way social media works and being a young person who has worked on FB a lot, I know it inside out.
I have never paid for an ad and only ever used organic/viral marketing. People keep suggesting I start a SMMA but I have never used ads or marketed anything locally. All my audiences have always been nationwide or international, so it's not like I could sell my services to local businesses (or I could, but not provide results and make a fool of myself).
What sort of businesses do you think would be interested in this type of FB marketing? I was wondering if I might have success messaging Instagram brands who have no/little presence on Facebook, and perhaps don't want to pay for ads there, but would pay for organic views + engagements. The problem then is if that's even something in demand or that people would want.
I also feel like, I'm only 22 and I've literally only ever had "businesses" that are ran by me, and only me. I've always just done everything myself. So when I'm talking to someone about their business I fail to understand so much stuff. I feel like an idiot when I talk to other entrepreneurs around my age. Terminology throws me off and I end up having defined/researched so many words that the initial meaning of someone's message confuses me and becomes hard to understand. I feel like I'm not smart enough to do this and I'm anxious to even have conversations with people over the phone as I need to think about my replies for so long.
I'm just eager to make X amount by April so I can invest into my main desirable project and finish 2020 by making enough cash to finish my renovation and sell this liability of a house (I hate my home so much)! I'm doubting my main idea (selling merch to existing 350k audience) from responses here and freaking out as the only possible thing I have of value is social media knowledge/experience but even then it's so niche that it's not even desirable to most businesses looking to have someone do their FB marketing. I'm going to finish launching the merch store as I'm so close and aim to talk to 100+ people a day to bring in sales but I also want to learn more about business so I can take on social media work as needed, or always have it to rely on as a backup. Now I just feel so naïve and my self-esteem is so low as I've always just done things myself by putting things into practice and when I talk to people about their business and social media I feel ridiculously stupid despite my achievements.
How can I feel better about myself? How can I learn more about general business, so I don't get caught in an awkward moment when talking to someone about their social media needs? How do I convince someone to see the value of my skills when I'm not even good at ads?
