Read Time: 2m
15 things I’ve learned about solopreneur sales over the past 11 months:
- posting what you learned about a specific topic over a long period of time will get you inbound leads
- don’t solely rely on inbound leads, send DMs to people that engage with your content
- don’t be a douche when you DM, pretend it’s a conversation with a family friend
- you don’t have to be on sales calls to get clients
- 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
- experiment with different copy on your landing pages…small adjustments can make a big difference
- learn copywriting - this will help you capture and hold attention
- build an email list now, you will future-proof your business this way
- email more than once a week, it makes it less stressful for you and you get better at it
- get explicit about who you are trying to help and how you can do it…the easier to understand, the better
- don’t be afraid to charge for your work, if someone is unwilling to pay, it’s a red flag
- be reasonable with your expectations…a stranger isn’t going to sign up for your $5k/mo service out of the gate
- most sales advice and results on X is made up / lacking context, keep that in mind so you don’t get discouraged
- 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
- if you can make $10, you can make $100 and so forth
