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.

Next

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.
Get an integromat/zapier subscription

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

Creative outreach

Close $100k/month deals

And retain your clients for 6+ months

Absolutely no one is talking about this

Thread:

You send cold emails

You send LinkedIn connection requests

You tell your SDRs to cold call

You run Facebook retargeting ads

But none of that is working

Today

I'm going to tell you

exactly how you can stand out

And get better results than absolutely everyone else

First of all

You have 2 simple currencies

1. Time
2. Money

If you have more time than you have money

You need to send custom videos to each lead you have scraped

Write personalised emails to each and every one of them

Do this until you have enough money to spend instead of your time.

Now, that you have more money

You need to focus on creative outreach.

DON'T BE A CHEAPO AND STOP BEING SCARED OF SPENDING MONEY.

How you can increase your revenue by 5000% with a simple content touchpoint strategy.

With a free template

A thread:

Let's start with a basic question:

"What does my prospect already know?"

This question will help you develop your complete funnel in such a way that you can close 50x more deals

Now, let me set this straight right now

You have 3% of your target audience at a stage where they can/will buy from you right now.

The rest 97%?

They are either clueless or they don't care.

Now it's your job, to take them from their current clueless position to a position where they are dying to pay your invoice.

How do you do this?

Only two types of startups exist: technology-led and culture-led

(a short thread on this mental model)

🔥 It's also the 7th chapter of my book https://t.co/iLfMb0xhnD


1/ There are two ways an entrepreneur can fail:

a) launch a product that nobody desires;

b) launch a product that people desire but with no significant advantage over established competitors (hence give no strong reason for a customer to switch away).

2/ These two failure modes have their analogous success modes:

a) culture-led startup success where a new desire is discovered and fulfilled;

b) technology-led startup success where new technology is used to fulfill an existing desire.

3/ Let’s explore culture-led startups first.

They are the ones in which the entrepreneur is able to observe a pattern of new derivative desires that didn’t exist before.

Such trends are very hard to spot because initially they can be mistaken either as fads or insignificant.

4/ However, an entrepreneur who has good observation skills is able to connect the dots from diverse sources to grow his conviction about a cultural shift just when the market is

THREAD: 10 significant things that the best startup founders get right.

(From my notes helping 400+ founders grow their startups.)

The smartest people I’ve met:

They retrain their minds to enjoy being wrong.

They get a dopamine hit when proven wrong because they’re excited to be closer to the truth. The truth is addictive.

In contrast, if you refuse to lose a debate, your brain keeps running old firmware.

I don’t know one highly effective person who isn’t strongly biased toward taking action.

They defer the stuff that doesn’t matter, and they always finish the stuff that does.

It's about rate of iteration and persistence, not brilliance.

The successful people I know have mastered delayed gratification:

They let themselves feel a dopamine hit when they do something that makes their future selves better.

They've learned to value their future self as much as their present self.

Success in life really appears to be two things:

1. Point yourself in the right direction.

2. Do the work even when you're not in the mood to.

(And privilege.)

The clearest sign of finding product-market fit is feeling "pull" from the market.

But what does "pull" look like?

👇 Read on 👇

1/ Sign 1: A sudden inflection in organic growth

Netflix: "Where before we were struggling to get traffic, all of sudden we couldn’t keep up." - @mbrandolph

Tinder: "Downloads started to skyrocket" – @badeen

Uber: "Word of mouth was uncontrollable" – @ryangraves

2/ Sign 2: Customers ask to pay for the product before you ask

Carta: "I've been trying to get to your sales people for weeks!!! Why won't you take my money???" – @henrysward

Github: "To our surprise, users started writing to us asking ‘Can we pay for this??’" – @mojombo

3/ Sign 3: Users flip from excited to upset

Datadog: "When we hit early product-market fit, our users switched from being excited at all the things our product could be to them to being upset about all the things it didn't do yet." – @oliveur

3b/ Segment: "The thing that flipped was, people would previously tell us they wanted a feature, but not use it. Whereas now, people were using it and they would want a second feature." – @reinpk

How I created a six figure business by only writing tweets in a third world country.

A thread on how a razor and $50 changed my life:


I'm by no means special, I'm actually stubborn as fuck.

English isn't my first language.

For months I just lurked Twitter not doing anything.

It was not until an opportunity literally fell in my lap that I decided to take it.

But here's how I did it (and how you can too):

The funniest part of the story is how I did literally nothing for months on Twitter.

Just write, write, write.

Meanwhile, I saw everyone winning.

"I made $100k last year!"

"I made $50k last month!"

"This tweet made me $1,000!"

I started asking questions:

"How the fuck do you make $50k in a month?"

"Clients? How do you get your first client?"

"What would my clients even pay for?"

Then I kinda put it aside and kept writing tweets.

100 followers, then 1k, then 2k then 10k and it all went pretty well

One problem tho:

I loved it.

I really did. Writing is so fucking dope to me.

But I haven't make a single cent from it.

Zero.

"Follow your passion" seemed like bullshit, until it hit me:

Ashta Siddhi

Ashta Siddhi is mentioned in Patanjali Yog sutra and can be obtained by very few through countless years of practice and devotion to all eight limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.

Siddhi can loosely be translated as accomplishment or a special power or unusual skill.


The eight Siddhis are:

1. Anima: Reducing one’s physical self to the size of an atom.

2. Mahima: Expanding one’s physical self to infinite level

3. Garima: Making one’s physical self so heavy as immovable by others

4. Laghima: Becoming almost weightless


5. Prapti: Being able travel anywhere in the Universe

6. Prakamya: Can know & understand what is going on in one’s mind. Can understand other person’s min.

7. Ishitva: Possessing title of Bhagwan

8. Vashitva: A seeker can subdue any person/thing

(Hanuman Jayanti is coming)


Hanumanji not only possessed all eight siddhis, but was also blessed by Sita mata as “Ashta Siddhi Nau Nidhi Ke Daata”.

When Hanumanji first reaches to Lanka on his mission to find Sita, he makes use of anima so as to be discrete in enemy territory.


He uses it again when he approaches Sita mata for the first time – reducing his size to that of a schoolboy, to avoid scaring her. He uses mahima to outwit & overpowers
the demons.

Sculpture of Bhagwan Shiva as the destroyer of the Asura Andhaka - Cave 29,Ellora caves

Asura Andhaka hangs on to a trishula held by 6-armed Shiva.

Once Parvathi & Shiva were relaxing in the pleasant gardens of Mount Mandhara.


Bhagwan Shiva sat down there to enjoy the happiness.Parvati closed the eyes of Shiva playfully & darkness covered the whole universe.Parvati was perplexed & her palms were wet with perspiration.A few drops of her sweat mixed with sweat from Shiva’s body& fell to the ground.

From this sweat,a fierce creature was born,it started to roar.Child was born blind as Shiva's eyes were closed so was named as Andaka.Andha means darkness&also ignorance.Around the same time Asura Hiranyaksha was performing rigorous tapas Shiva for a boon of powerful son.

Bhagwan Shiva was pleased by tapas of Hiranyaksha & blessed him with darshan.Hiranyaksha asked for a powerful son,Shiva told him that he cannot have his own son,but can adopt a blind child who would become very powerful later.Shiva gave child Andaka to Hiranyaksha.

Hiranyaksha returned to his kingdom with Andaka.Later after the vadh of Hiranyaksha, Andaka is said to have lived with his cousins.He was ridiculed,so dejected Andaka went to forest.He did severe tapas for over many years towards Brahma Dev. Brahma dev appeared before him.

I had the most bizarre experience outside of a bar yesterday, which my partner very aptly described as "toxic mask-unlinity." (A Thread.)

I was standing outside, waiting for a lyft to get home, when two cis men came out of the bar to smoke cigarettes. They're discussing the masks that folks are wearing in California at the moment because of the very dangerous air pollution from the fires happening.

I happen to be wearing one of those masks, because I think lungs are important and I like breathing. I dunno. One of the men notices me standing there, and says, "Like this f*cker right here. What is this shit?"

He goes on a homophobic rant about me, the pansy with a mask, and what a Very Manly Man he is because he's not afraid to smoke a pack of cigarettes while California is on fire. He doesn't need a mask, because something-something-heterosexual-something.

And part of me is just... impressed by the fact that this dude thinks he's Owning The Gay Libs by not wearing a mask to protect his lungs from smoke and particles in the air that are literally DANGEROUS... while chain-smoking. Outside of a bar.

Surkanda devi mandir is a famous shrine of Hindus located near Kaddukhal distt of Uttarakhand, 11 Km from the town of Dhanaulti and 35 Km from Mussoorie.
The Temple is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas spread all over Indian Subcontinent and is dedicated to Goddess Surkanda.


Nestled on a Hill at an Altitude of 2700 m approx, the place offers a splendid view of the snow capped mountains, the picturesque scenic beauty that offers an experience of the lifetime.
The Temple build in the traditional Garhwal style exuberates the Architectural splendour.


The origins of the Surkanda Mata Mandir is attributed to Goddess Sati, consort of Bhagwan Shiv who in a rage immolated herself in her arrogant Father Daksha's Yajna Kund bcoz he didn't invite Bhagwan Shiv in the Yajna.


Devastated by the death of Sati Shiva wandered all over the cosmos performing Tandava-The Dance of Cosmic Destruction.Fearing the total annihilation of cosmos, Gods requested Bhagwan Vishnu to pacify Shiva.Bhagwan Vishnu then used his discuss to destroy the burning corps of Sati.


The pieces of Sati Mata's body then got scattered all over the region which were later established as Shakti Peethas by Bhagwan Shiva himself.Its believed that the head of Sati fell here and it was called Sirkhanda Mata Temple before, but with passage of time it became Surkanda.
