Read Time: 2m


15 things I’ve learned about solopreneur sales over the past 11 months:

  1. posting what you learned about a specific topic over a long period of time will get you inbound leads
  2. don’t solely rely on inbound leads, send DMs to people that engage with your content
  3. don’t be a douche when you DM, pretend it’s a conversation with a family friend
  4. you don’t have to be on sales calls to get clients
  5. spend time every day, even 5m, to engage with people on X and your other platforms - this will help you with credibility and creating awareness
  6. experiment with different copy on your landing pages…small adjustments can make a big difference
  7. learn copywriting - this will help you capture and hold attention
  8. build an email list now, you will future-proof your business this way
  9. email more than once a week, it makes it less stressful for you and you get better at it
  10. get explicit about who you are trying to help and how you can do it…the easier to understand, the better
  11. don’t be afraid to charge for your work, if someone is unwilling to pay, it’s a red flag
  12. be reasonable with your expectations…a stranger isn’t going to sign up for your $5k/mo service out of the gate
  13. most sales advice and results on X is made up / lacking context, keep that in mind so you don’t get discouraged
  14. don’t neglect creating templates and systems to make your life easier when creating your business, otherwise you’ll create another manual effort ridden 9-5
  15. if you can make $10, you can make $100 and so forth
