How to make a $10k/mon agency in less than 3 months

Thread:

The easiest way to start an online business is to make a service-based agency.

Let's get right into it.
1. You need to have some skills.

VALUE THAT YOU CAN PROVIDE TO YOUR CLIENTS SO THEY PAY YOU EVERY MONTH.

YOU NEED TO TARGET RETAINER BASED SERVICES TO GET TO $10k/mon fast.

Now, what can you charge a retainer for?
Not web design.
Not logo design/branding.

Try to sell a service which they need every month.

- Lead generation
- Email Marketing
- High ticket sales
- Cold email

Choose one and watch 25 hours of content about it on youtube dot com

Then buy a good course if you can
MARKET RESEARCH:

Don't sell anything to anyone

SEE WHAT'S WORKING

Cold email 50 people asking for a call
Pay 3 of them $20/hr and get to know all their pain points and problems
Now you have a service to sell and you already know fulfillment.

How to find clients:
Finding clients is a simple But, not an easy task.

2 main types for client acquisition:

1. Organic
Cold email, through Facebook groups, engaging in communities, using your social media followers, etc.

2. Inorganic
Paid shoutouts, Facebook/google ads
DON'T EVEN LOOK AT INORGANIC WHEN YOU'RE JUST STARTING.

You need proof of concept before you try to spend $300/day on ads.

Use organic methods.

Engage in communities, add value in Facebook groups, and so on

BUT WAIT

THE BEST CLIENT ACQUISITION CHANNEL IS COLD OUTREACH
I only use cold email as my client acquisition channel.

How to find clients the right way:

> Scrape emails using kleanleads

> Hire a $8/hr research guy

> Write good & short cold emails

> Send 50 cold emaols EVERYDAY

> Ask for a call
✓ Ask 10s of questions ^ interview your prospects

✓ Pitch your $2,000 service on the call

$$$
The research guy is supposed to research every prospect & write a personalized line about each person one by one.

Hire from Upwork for $7-8/hr
Fulfillment:

YOU NEED TO GET THEM RESULTS TO GET PAID.

If you're just starting, you have 2 options:

> WORK FOR FREE

> WORK FOR A CHEAP PRICE IN EXCHANGE OF A VIDEO TESTIMONIAL
Now you need to find more clients.

AND HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES.

EMPLOYEES WHO LOVE TO DO WORK YOU DON'T WANT TO DO FOREVER AND FOR CHEAP.
Hire a sales closer to close sales for you for a 15-20% commission.

Hire project managers.

Admin guys who report to your client and manage the payments.

Data entry guys who do the most monotonous work.

GET YOURSELF OUT OF YOUR BUSINESS.
Talk to @THETYFRANKEL for systems.
But what should I say in the cold email???
Hey {{first name}}. {{first line}}

My name's X and I just helped {{another company like their}} get {{desired result}} using {{your method}}

Now I would like to do the same for you.

Are you free for a quick call this week or next week?
Follow up after some days if they don't reply.

Send 3-4 follow-ups.
About sales calls:

WORK WITH people only if they fulfill your preset criteria.

If they don't, JUST DON'T WORK WITH THEM.

YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO GET THEM RESULTS AND THEY WON'T PAY YOU ALSO.

AUTOMATE STUFF YOU DO MANUALLY EVERYDAY
1 tweet checklist:

> Find a problem
> Skill
> 50 cold emails a day
> Get on sales calls with prospects
> Close
> Fulfill
> $$$
NOW GO & IMPLEMENT

STOP DAY-DREAMING & MANIFESTING

Part 2: How to build a service-based agency

{{Hint: This can make you $25k easy!}}


For this thread, I am assuming you have:

1. No results
2. No testimonials
3. No previous clients

And if you haven't already,

Here's the part


What you'll be learning:

1. How to position yourself so your prospects don't ask for testimonials?
2. How to get those clients?
3. How much you should charge them?

Positioning:

You don't have to:

> bEG them and say I am willing to work for free

This usually puts all the risk on the other person.

They have to:
> Train you
> Teach you
> Pay for your mistakes

Not worth it for them.

14 tools I use to steal from competitors, and build million-dollar businesses.

Housekeeping note:
Don't do anything that destroys your reputation. Copying what works is a simple & practical strategy, but don't cross any boundaries.

In this thread, I'll show you how to steal your competitors' traffic, product ideas, and customers in a 100% fair way.

1. Steal their social media traffic

Drop your competitors' url in
https://t.co/n4squ8fjHh

It will tell you what % of their web traffic comes from which social media platform

Looks like this


Generally, this traffic will be from ads and not content. To steal their social traffic, you'll need to steal their ad strategy.

If they're getting their traffic from Facebook...

2. Steal their Facebook ads

Go to Facebook Ad Library and find ads that your competitor has been running for 6+ months.

All of these ads are likely profitable https://t.co/bgqtSOvAe2

So the cryptocurrency industry has basically two products, one which is relatively benign and doesn't have product market fit, and one which is malignant and does. The industry has a weird superposition of understanding this fact and (strategically?) not understanding it.


The benign product is sovereign programmable money, which is historically a niche interest of folks with a relatively clustered set of beliefs about the state, the literary merit of Snow Crash, and the utility of gold to the modern economy.

This product has narrow appeal and, accordingly, is worth about as much as everything else on a 486 sitting in someone's basement is worth.

The other product is investment scams, which have approximately the best product market fit of anything produced by humans. In no age, in no country, in no city, at no level of sophistication do people consistently say "Actually I would prefer not to get money for nothing."

This product needs the exchanges like they need oxygen, because the value of it is directly tied to having payment rails to move real currency into the ecosystem and some jurisdictional and regulatory legerdemain to stay one step ahead of the banhammer.
