| Hey, it's Tim. We added 7 mini-essays and 3 new videos to the Academy this week. That's on top of the 6 courses, masterclasses, and more that are already in it. And it only costs $1 for your first month. Just a buck. Join and take a look. Here are your 4 strategies and insights...
1. Simple Networking Tip Selling in DMs has become so common that people are on guard every time they get a message. Especially when that person clearly shows that they're selling something on their profile. That leads to getting ignored. So, if you're actually just networking and not trying to sell, say so. "Hey, I'm not trying to sell you anything." is a great way to start a connection request on LinkedIn or a social media DM. I bet it'll get you a lot more replies. 2. Two Enemies Of Conversions Difficulty and lack of trust are the two biggest sales killers. Look at your process and try to get rid of both of them. For trust, add case studies, testimonials, personal results, and anything else that's hard proof. For difficulty, make your funnels extremely simple and offer something for free or very cheap to get your foot in the door. Leave very little room for doubt. Friction is the enemy. Make things as smooth as you can. 3. Random Business Idea Industrial cleaning is a classic "dirty job" that businesses pay big bucks for. But you don't have to start a cleaning company to capitalize. Instead, you can stay behind your computer, stay clean, and still earn big. Two ways to do it: sell Google Business optimization to local companies who offer that, and start a directory site for people who are looking to get that service. I could see both of those becoming real earners. 4. Lesson From The Build I feel like I've said this exact thing in this exact section a dozen times, but it's the number one mindset lesson you can learn. You will fail. It's unavoidable. All you can do is commit to showing up tomorrow. That's it. One of my portfolio companies might be going under soon. That'll be an investment gone to zero. - Tim P.S.
