How to make a $10k/mon agency in less than 3 months
Thread:
Let's get right into it.
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 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
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
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
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
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
Hire from Upwork for $7-8/hr
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
AND HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES.
EMPLOYEES WHO LOVE TO DO WORK YOU DON'T WANT TO DO FOREVER AND FOR CHEAP.
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.
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?
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.
> Find a problem
> Skill
> 50 cold emails a day
> Get on sales calls with prospects
> Close
> Fulfill
> $$$

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.

Today's thread is on the affiliate business model. Many years ago, I used to be an affiliate marketer. If there is any way to get schooled in marketing, becoming an affiliate marketer is probably the best way.
What is affiliate marketing and why should you care?
Read on >>
1) Affiliate marketing is selling products or generating leads on behalf of other companies and getting paid a commission for those products.
2) Some notable examples you've seen before:
NerdWallet - you read their articles on best credit cards. You click on a link to one of those cards. You fill out an application. They get paid for delivering that lead to the cc company.
3) In https://t.co/kSfWS69ybp - same thing. Any of their financial products -- you fill out an application, and https://t.co/mCrBT43mOj gets paid for that.
But the affiliate revenue model applies beyond financial services products.
4) Wirecutter -- you see a neat product they review or talk about. You click through and buy.
Wirecutter gets a cut of that transaction.

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

The entire discussion around Facebook’s disclosures of what happened in 2016 is very frustrating. No exec stopped any investigations, but there were a lot of heated discussions about what to publish and when.
In the spring and summer of 2016, as reported by the Times, activity we traced to GRU was reported to the FBI. This was the standard model of interaction companies used for nation-state attacks against likely US targeted.
In the Spring of 2017, after a deep dive into the Fake News phenomena, the security team wanted to publish an update that covered what we had learned. At this point, we didn’t have any advertising content or the big IRA cluster, but we did know about the GRU model.
This report when through dozens of edits as different equities were represented. I did not have any meetings with Sheryl on the paper, but I can’t speak to whether she was in the loop with my higher-ups.
In the end, the difficult question of attribution was settled by us pointing to the DNI report instead of saying Russia or GRU directly. In my pre-briefs with members of Congress, I made it clear that we believed this action was GRU.
The story doesn\u2019t say you were told not to... it says you did so without approval and they tried to obfuscate what you found. Is that true?
