Hello,
I'm respectfully asking why the system won't allow me to make this post. Here's the post.
"Hey Gang. Me again. I've been trying to rattle my brain for some creative ideas on how to get around the chicken-or-the-egg situation of how do I get referrals if I don't have any business, and how do I get business if I don't have any experience. I want to start a copywriting biz, as well as a Quik & Dirty social media analysis biz in the vein of Jiffy Lube using something like a 14 Pt. Check-up for a reasonable monthly subscription fee.
Now, first, I'm totally sold on Dan Lok's theory of providing my value for nothing, despite the risk of working for nothing then getting nothing. However, what that thief CAN'T take away is the fact that it IS MY work that I can showcase to other prospects. So, there's that. Having said that, I like swinging for the fences, as Dan Lok does, rather than living for a walk to 1st base.
So, my strategy to slowly build my copywriting business is the following. I've solicited some of my close friends who are small business owners and asked them if I can create their name and/or slogan, and/or their About page on their website, and/or create 1 free blog for their business in exchange for a great reference from them on my LinkedIn page, and if their business has a LinkedIn page offer a testimony of doing business with me. Of course, that would only be a 1-time intro service. For the social media analysis that would be a monthly subscription. My problem there is I don't know exactly what services to offer/analyze, or how much to charge.
Let me know what you think of this idea and whatever else you would do if you were in my shoes.
TANX"
Thanks again,
George Lea
