How To Get Attention In The Market 2022

Рет қаралды 226,392

Күн бұрын

How can you get customers? How to stand out in the marketplace? How to attract the attention of your potential customers?
00:00 - Your Social Media isn't your portfolio
02:25 - How to get noticed in the job market
07:00 - Personal Stories that work
08:38 - Should you do work for free?
Summary by Andres Ramirez:
1. Social media is about conversations with people. Give them a reason to care and to share your content.
2. Find your voice and rhythm. Learn to write a few sentences, use great images, incorporate your unique lens to build an audience that shows up for you.
3. Start today! All this knowledge acquired is meaningless unless you apply it.
4. If you have a level of polish and have ideas with a point of view, people will reach out to you.
5. Stand out by one-eighth of an inch - Pick your niche and give value consistently on the platform that you think best suits you.
6. Do not negotiate against yourself before the client has an opportunity. Let them do their job so they can feel good about it as well.
7. Trade Up Principle: Sell something to buy something similar but more expensive. Allow yourself to do marketing projects or feel-good projects for a good cause.

Thank you so much Chris, I am a mother of 2 girls from the Philippines. 16 years ago I resigned from my first and last corporate job to take care of my 2 daughters. Now, that they are grown up, I am ready to start my career again as a freelancer. I just finished my social media management short course. I am not fluent in English, overage, my corporate job was 16 years ago. But I am not taking it as a hindrance not to start again. I just want to thank you for keeping me motivated everyday.

But it's all an illusion, there's a glass bridge you don't realize. As soon as you take a step you don't fall, and you'll be able to take the next step and the next step." i really needed this

I really like the idea of changing the approach for social media from 'talking about us' to 'having a conversation' with the audience. Years ago, I first thought the solution was to share other people's content that I had found interesting, but then realized that's what everyone is doing anyways. And so, at that time I fell into the trap of social media being a copy of my portfolio, not having anything personal to say and share. I think the hardest part of this for me is first having something important, unique or just useful to say and put out there. I would imagine that's what a lot of us struggle with.

Why do I ever get distracted and stop watching your videos? THEY HELP ME SO MUCH!!! Each one, without fail, consistently delivers value from start to finish. There's never any filler, exaggerated claims, or manipulative pitches to "buy my product, or you'll end up broke and devoid of purpose." 🤣🤣 Whenever you make an offer, Chris, it's always valid, ethical, and packed with value that you've repeatedly demonstrated in the hundreds of videos available, and of course, in the dozens I've personally viewed. Each single video holds more value than most courses out there claiming to teach the same material. You share high-level insights and real business principles that go beyond just the creative realm, extending to service and agency models as well - precisely the area I'm trying to grow. Your mindset, your thought process, your integrity - they're a refreshing change of pace. Even when you speak the truth bluntly, discussing harsh realities, you do it with respect, leaving my self-esteem intact. You allow me to feel humbled without feeling worthless and hopeless. This particular video has stirred up my confidence, encouraging me to openly share my ideas. Thanks, man! I find myself needing to transcribe your videos to fully absorb your insights. Your points flow seamlessly from your lips, each bearing a level of depth that requires time for us beginners to digest...and I absolutely love it! Thank you! May God continue to pour out his strength and blessings to you and your family, **enabling** you to keep igniting the paths with LIGHT and COURAGE of those you guide!

Standing out is so important. Out of work because of the pandemic for two years and I have a passion for content creation. I don’t have a ton of experience but I still applied for jobs. I had an interview at a corporate head office for handling all fifty of their stores social media content… and I got the job. Over two hundred applicants and I beat out those that had far more experience. I know I’m outgoing and was honest my whole interview. They even said I wasn’t where they want, but my personality stood out and they will help support me to get me to the right place. Rely on what you’re good at!

Now I’m back in on it and your videos play while I do studies and projects. You have been very real and upfront with the truth in all your videos. Sharing knowledge and critique. Pointing out flaws we all have coming into design or struggling to be in it. I super appreciate you and thanks for inspiration.

I appreciate how encouraging you are, Chris. We met at Creative South about three years ago and you encouraged me to start my own business. I recently got laid off and my wife encouraged me to finally make the leap. I prayerfully decided that it’s time. It’s scary. Because of that, I have never appreciated encouragement more in my life, and your videos have definitely given me that.

"Stand out 1/8 of an inch." That will stick with me. Sometimes we tell ourselves the story that to be good or stand out we have to be extraordinary or head and shoulders above the crowd. The thought of that can feel insurmountable - how can I, especially a beginner/new to the field or market be head and shoulders above the countless rest? Inactivity or paralysis may be soon to follow. If we just think of it as an 1/8 of inch we think - you know what? I CAN do that. Those two words, "I can" repeat over and over, becoming the narrative we believe. Thank you for sharing.
