💵 how I got an inbound lead yesterday

I love getting real, inbound, non-AI written DMs where people ask me what I’m up to and if I can help them.

Most people on X gloat that inbound leads are just flowing into their inbox (which maybe they are for a few folks, but I’d venture to say that most of their DM inboxes are full of broccoli hair-cut Gen Z MFers trying to sell you something on the first message)

If you think about it, you really only need 5-10 ideal clients to fully go in on solopreneurship…so when you get an inbound message like this, you want to understand WHY it happened (if you can) and obviously respond thoughtfully.

And in this particular instance, this DM arrived in my inbox because I commented on one of his posts thoughtfully.

I didn’t regurgitate or restate his message.

I put a spin on a concept he had out there.

I made him think.

This is something you can easily replicate for your solo business, whatever it may be.

Since you’re on my email list, I like to share things I’ve created.

​I put together simple 8 line checklist you can use to step up your networking game as a solopreneur so that you can generate income.

Let me know if it helps you out.

To your solopreneur success,
