The biggest Money Earning lie
The big lie when it comes to earning on X.
People think: “He has 100,000 followers! He must be making a ton of money!” This is completely wrong! I made money at 300 followers!
You Heard It Right: When I earned my first dollar on X, I had about 300 followers. It felt like a huge win. By the time I hit 500 followers, I was consistently making $1,000 a month. Many of you have asked: How is this possible, especially starting out? It comes down to two key principles:
Relentless, Consistent Outreach
Crafting an Irresistible Offer
1. Consistent Outreach: The Art of “Picking Up the Phone” If you’ve seen The Wolf of Wall Street, you know Leonardo DiCaprio’s line: “Pick up the phone and start dialing.” On X, this means reaching out to potential clients daily. Success requires effort personalized messages, engaging with posts, and showing genuine interest.
Put in the Reps: The more people you contact, the better your chances. A “no” just means it’s not the right time.
Land That First Client: Your first client is crucial for income and credibility. Use their feedback as a testimonial to build trust.
Keep going, refine your approach, and don’t wait for opportunities to find you.2. Optimal Offer: Solve a Problem, Win a Client Don’t offer everything to everyone. Focus on one high-value service that solves a specific problem. In my case, my services had two benefits:
Saving Time: Helping busy business owners focus on what matters.
Growth Optimization: Using my expertise to scale businesses in an AI-driven world.
Note: AI won’t replace creative roles like copywriting or video editing because clients still need human strategy and creativity.
Know Your Value: Ensure your offer addresses an urgent pain point, like boosting revenue or streamlining operations.
Stay Focused: Specialize in one niche to stand out and build expertise.
Building Trust with Testimonials!
Testimonials are your currency for trust. After delivering great work:
Go Beyond DMs: Screenshots are easily faked. Ask for video reviews where clients share how you helped them.
Highlight Results: Specifics (e.g., “Saved me 10 hours a week”) make testimonials compelling.
Document Every Win: Even free projects can yield powerful feedback.
The Freelancing Freedom Formula With focus, you can replace your 9-5 in two weeks. Secure 2–3 high-ticket clients ($1,000–$1,500/month each), and you’re set. Take on smaller projects to grow further.
