| Hey, it's Tim. Next month, we're offering lifetime plans for our Academy for the last time. That offer will only go out inside the community DMs. Currently, after your $1 trial month, it costs $97 per month. This lets you pay more now, then never pay again. Charles will message you about it inside there in 3 weeks. Join now to take advantage of that when it's available. Here are your 4 strategies and insights...
1. I Was Wrong About This I used to think that social media was just about awareness and getting newsletter subscribers. To me, it wasn't a place to do any selling. It was just a place where I could get people on my list so I could sell to them later. That philosophy made more sense 5+ years ago. Now, it's just flat-out wrong. Social selling is massively profitable. Especially for service sellers. Post content. Work the DMs. Get clients right there on platform. 2. Go High-Ticket Every time I try to sell something affordable, it's frustrating and not worth the money. I wish that wasn't true, but it is. Low-ticket products and services are weirdly harder to sell, and they come with more stress. For 99% of people, I recommend sticking to high-ticket. When you sell something expensive, everything is easier. Get good enough to do that, then don't even think about products till you're earning a ton already. 3. A Useful Reminder If you don't have a differentiator, you're shooting yourself in the foot. Plain and simple. For most of my companies, I've used niche specificity, which has usually meant working only with behavioral health companies. You can also differentiate with the philosophy you have about what you sell, your offer being especially friendly in some way, and somewhat through personality. Pick one or a few and work it into your messaging. 4. Lesson From The Build I really think that the key to building a business is figuring out what grows it best, making those tasks non-negotiables, and doing them right away, every day. No procrastinating. No focusing on minor details. Write down that list for your business or freelance practice. I bet it'll look something like: create content, do outreach, and do good work for clients. Then put 95% of your effort into those. Forget the rest. - Tim P.S.
