Task 1 - Pick a target Choose category of people who might need your services KZfaqrs, etsy shop owners, travel bloggers, etc Task 2 - Find 10 targets Not so big they have a team already, not so small they can’t afford you At least 5k subs, at most 30k They need to be generating cash flow (via products, website, courses, etc) Task 3 - Pick a problem Not enough time to do everything (good if you have no skills) They want to make more money Task 4 - Match a solution What can you do to offer a solution to the problem? Tie it to the context of the problem and their business goals Task 5 - Make a portfolio Make samples for the solutions you’re offering Example: pretend captions, pretend instagram graphics, etc Task 6 - Decide on no-brainer pricing You are not marrying this pricing. You can increase it with each client Start lower than you think so that it’s not a huge risk for the client Task 7 - Get in front of 1 target Contact one person on your list of ten Cold pitch, contact on social media, go into their store They probably will ignore you but that’s okay, you’ve taken the first step Final Task - make $1 Contact the other people on that list of ten Keep contacting people until you have your first client

Discovered your channel today, and subscribing! Already watched the "Best & Worst freelancing platforms..." video. If there are any other videos in your channel that someone still getting their footing in freelancing should watch (either on your channel or someone else's) please send any recommendations; really like your approach.

Great video! I'm cold pitching now. What kind of follow-up schedule would you recommend for people who don't respond? I have started sending out one follow-up a week after my original pitch, but I'm not sure if future follow ups are a good idea if they don't respond to the follow up.
@MyNameIsDeya
@MyNameIsDeya Жыл бұрын
Hi Jessica! I normally follow up within 5-7 days, yes. Have you watched my cold pitching series by chance? I'd say researching the client, writing a really good cold pitch that fits what they need + presenting yourself as the best solution is more important as if the offer is great, the pitchee normally will bookmark to reply.

2:20 How do you do this though? I tried to go through my watch history and see what channels are in that sweet spot so I could sound genuine when I pitch them since you know...I actually watch their videos lol but most of them are way above that sweet spot So what do you suggest?

What about looking up some keywords (that your favorite channels use) on KZfaq and finding medium-sized creators that cover similar topics?

I saw that someone tell about quantity over quality and send pitches automatically via email. How do you feel about this and what is better?
@MyNameIsDeya
@MyNameIsDeya Жыл бұрын
I think you need a balance of the two but your priority should be quality -- especially because I really doubt any of those automated pitches (unless the product is SUPER good and a no brainer) work. Obviously the ideal is to send as many as possible without impacting the quality of your cold pitches. Personally, I'd rather send 10 great/personalized/thoughtful pitches than 100 mediocre/unpersonalized/automated ones. Just my 2 cents!
