FAVOUR FRANK

>>>>>> 7 Days to Client 1 <<<<<< If you want to get your first freelance client the process is simple and replicable. I'm not talking cold dms, cold calls and other stuff all these peeps way ahead of you and I like to preach. I mean a simple tactic that allowed me to close my first client 7 days into learning email marketing. ( I don't do email marketing anymore. Now pivoting to coding) But this still works. And in fact, it's how I'm planning on getting my first coding client. Now, to the advice... Most people tell you to start freelance by going to utter strangers. "Cold dms, cold calls." Cold, cold, cold. But if freelancing is something you want to do for sometime (maybe 2-3 years to stack cash and pivot) You should start slow & steady and build it right. Here's how: A few years ago (maybe 2) I got into network marketing --or MLM-- because I knew a guy who swore by the business model. I failed woefully (I'm terrible at making small talk with strangers only to pitch them something at the end) But I learnt one thing from that season of my life. The first people you should market your products to is your network. I.e friends and family. (I was selling land & properties at the time so I couldn't even apply this to my business but that's a whole 'nother story) Anyways. When I started freelancing I decided to reach out to my friends and relatives. This is already long so I can't go into details (I will in my free ebook on how to close your first client as a newbie freelancer, coming soon) but long story short.. I offered email marketing to my aunt (7 days into learning it) and got her to pay me (cheap) + referrals + testimonial. Helped my brother do the same and get paid too. All in all, going to your network first works But of course there's a right and wrong way to do it (else you just get friends & family trying to guilt-trip you into working for free) But for most people this is best approach. Start with network, collect and stack testimonials, use those to reach out to strangers. I'll cover this more in my other posts and my free ebook (which will only be available to those who follow me @thefavourfrank ) That's all for this one my friend. Have an amazing day 🫡 Yours faithfully, Frank.

@GrammarHippy Had a similar experience with my Instagram content creation agency. Reached out to clients with a free profile audit and free carousel post with engaging caption and everything. Instantly doubled my monthly income. Best part is, even if they don't take it, it becomes content.

I know a guy who decided to take on a “one sales page per day” challenge. For 30 days. He’d contact businesses offering to write a free sales page for them. If they didn’t agree… he still wrote it. And… He didn’t finish the challenge. Someone hired him on day 12. Lesson.

@mike_pavlish 1000th follower Happy New Year's eve!

Your ad copy should include the NEGATIVES that will be REMOVED from the buyers life. Because people are even MORE motivated to ESCAPE from NEGATIVES than they are to gain positives. Make a list. Start with “you will no longer __________, ______,_______, ______, ______.”

@DaviesNzan Na so we see am

@thefavourfrank Eye don clear

@DaviesNzan Pivot no gree pivot again

@thefavourfrank Did I just see now pivoting to coding👀

@DaviesNzan Na glitch in the matrix

@DaviesNzan Nice one You don yab me now

@thefavourfrank Reading

A friend of mine just asked me What are the skills in demand that I should learn in 2024? I thought to myself, if you waited till 2021 when AI developers became in demand before you started learning AI, then you're late to the party So learn that skill and forget about demand

@DaviesNzan Wahala for who no cook beans this break

Beans no dey cook forever As long as you're actively hustling, your time will come

@valerie_odogwu Me sef dey find plug

--> In 2023, I turned 19 and crushed $20k from selling low + mid ticket offers. I'd be turning 20 next year, and I have a goal to hit $100k (my infamous ₦100 million billion) Here's how I plan to do it 👇 . . . . I'm selling 1 kidney guys.

@realEstateTrent Option 1: study something, get really good. Sell. Option 2: find your "passion"

My generation is wayyy too concerned with work-life balance. Even when we naturally do the least *work* compared to other generations. Ridiculous really.

@valerie_odogwu Normal

--> Stop complaining about the prices of things. Just make more money. Easy, peasy, lemon, squeazy!!!

@valerie_odogwu Lmaooo

If a man isn't physically attracted to you, he'd quickly dump your ass. But y'all don't like women who dump you when you're broke 😂 Smh

@waronweakness In

Building an audience is the most powerful thing you can do online. But most people are stuck. So I made a video course breaking down how I built a 160k audience with no experience. It's free for the first 300 people that like+reply "in" I'll DM you.

@qfulm I was going to say "that means nothing is cringe" Then I realized that 90% of people aren't doing what they want or what will help them eventually do what they want Just livin mindlessly.

i have decided that everything is cringe except for doing what u wanna or as a means to do what u wanna

I became a "morning person" when I stopped sleeping by 3am. I became a "coding type of guy" when I realized that the best way to learn was to build. Replace "I'm not an [insert thing] type of person" With actually learning how best to approach doing the thing.

@RichardtheMutts Facts When you want something you learn how to make it work for you

@thefavourfrank That's right! Everything we are capable of doing is the fruit of learning and practicing them. When you want to become somebody, you are to learn what that type of person practice.

@nadiatidona1 Oh wow, 2 years is a lot of time.

@thefavourfrank Ouff over 2 years ago, before my son was born. We then moved homes and decided not to take the TV with us at all, since we weren't watching it anymore

8 habits that changed my life: Eating clean Not watching TV Setting clear goals Cooking from scratch Prioritizing rest and sleep Spending 1h+ in nature daily Blocking time for phone usage Going for solo walks instead of bars

@thejustinwelsh I've been trying to use my intuition more by focusing on the smaller day to day decisions And doing this alone has made me realize just how much even the "tiny" decisions we make are heavily influenced

Every time I get a piece of advice about my business that feels 'off' and I decide to take it anyway? It's always a disaster. I believe our intuition is a more fine-tuned decision-making machine than we believe.

@paik_michael Bro just explained why I excel in (and enjoy) every other area of my life but my uni major

You’re not too dumb. You’re just not properly incentivized. You haven’t figured out a way to reframe what’s in front of you to make it interesting to you. It’s extremely difficult to be genuinely interested in something and simultaneously stay really incompetent at it.
