HOW TO REACH OUT TO THESE PEOPLE

You have three options

  1. Emails

  2. Dms

  3. Calls

    In today’s age, DMS tends to work the best, you just go onto any social media platform, search for people to whom you can offer your services, and message them with your offer.

    You can even mail to your prospects but for that, I would suggest you buy business emails and then try to reach people instead of using your personal account to send any mail.

How to create an offer

Make an offer so good that they feel stupid to say no, give so much in your offer that they literally feel that you took the burden off from their shoulders and then you can just add a price point to that.

My suggestion

How I create an offer

I make three offer

  1. The basic one - it has the basics of your service and costs quite cheap, but this is not your main offer so try to keep it of low value so a client pays you more for the better offer. For example, you will make 10 reels for a month. PRICE $400

  2. The middle offer - it is either your decoy offer or your main offer, it has mostly all your services covered at a very good price point. Like, let’s say you will help them make 20 reels in a month. Edit and add captions in those reels.

    You gave some extra value in this offer. PRICE $700

  3. Your most expensive offer - this is the main offer you want the people to take because it has the most value. I will continue with an example - You will help them with 30 reels, edit those add captions, and actually schedule those on the platforms as well as you will help them create scripts for it. See for yourself which offer you will take. PRICE $850

    with so little difference in the price point of the second and third offer people usually go offer either of them which makes your offer a nonnegotiable one.

SOCIAL MEDIA - Your biggest advantage

You can use any of the platforms like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram to actually build a personal, reach out to people you want to deliver your services to, or run ads so people automatically come to you for your service.

We are in the digital rush year and people are literally spending so much time on the social media platforms that we cannot even imagine.

I was able to get 3 million views and 70,000 leads in just 30 days with my Instagram account and you can do the same if you follow a pattern.
