Success is a lot slower than you think

Welcome to Edition 69 of Alex In My Inbox. Alex In My Inbox is a weekly copywriting series where I share interesting, actionable, and hilarious copywriting tips from "Alex." Alex is an anonymous copywriter who shares these tips with me so I can share them with you.  Real quick, when I heard BruMate made $9M through their Customer Service channel over the last 2 years, my thinking changed. Like most, I thought of CS as a cost center rather than a revenue driver. What if we could turn CS into a revenue channel & treat it like another marketing channel? I'm talking about a team supported by automation that can help customers quickly find answers to their questions and guide them to specific areas of the site. For Ecom Brands, this is the best replacement we have for in-store sales reps. And this extra support goes a long way. This allowed BruMate to scale 15 agents & $9m in CS sales. That’s $300k/agent per year. They switched to [Gorgias]( from Zendesk to support all their marketing channels from 1 platform to respond to customers more efficiently. [Turn Customer Service into a rev machine.]( sponsored  For the 69th edition of Alex In My Inbox, Alex gives everyone some solid advice on what your life path is supposed to look like…  And how you should chill out if you’re not rich yet.  Here we go:     Dear Chase, This isn’t going to be a particularly long email, but it’ll be one of the more important ones that your audience reads from you. Most people really don’t know that many successful people. Just pure numbers. Most people just don’t get the opportunity to talk to as many people as I do. I have 2 big social media platforms, and I talk to a ton of my followers. Some of them are building their first business and they’re not making money yet. Some are building their 5th business and they make $2M a year. Some people have already had a $50M exit and they’re chilling now. I talk to dozens of people a day, and over the course of a year, it adds up. I’ve noticed a pattern. Of all the people who end up making money online, about 20% have fairly quick success. I was lucky enough to be one of those people. I always look back and think I really didn’t try THAT hard to get where I am. Maybe it’s luck, maybe I’m insanely charismatic, maybe I’m smarter than everyone else. To be honest, I think it’s the first one. For the other 80%, it doesn’t happen nearly as fast. Some people take almost a year to get their first client. Some people jump from business to business, trying different things, and they only make money once they’ve tried 10 things in a row. But what I have noticed… Is that they ALWAYS end up being successful AT SOME POINT. It ALWAYS ends up working out. I’ve never met someone who tries really hard for years, and it doesn’t work out. No matter what, if you try for long enough, you will make money. You’re going to lack hope. You’re going to be tired. You’re going to think it’s never gonna happen. All of a sudden, you have a breakthrough, and it all comes rushing in all at once. I can’t explain it. I don’t know why. It’s such a strange phenomenon. But it’s one of the most beautiful things in the world. You can brute force your way to success. You can FORCE success. Luck is only a factor in the speed at which you succeed. It has nothing to do with IF it’ll happen or not. Because it WILL happen. Chase, one of the things I admire most about your story is this: You were consistently trying to be a social media influencer for literal years before you made it big. 2-3 years of no engagement except your wife and your parents. All of a sudden, you blow up on Twitter. Then, your newsletter. Then, Instagram. Now, LinkedIn. If you told yourself in 2017 that you’d have a quarter-million followers on LinkedIn, you’d never believe it. And if I told YOU, reader, that you’d be a millionaire in 10 years…you wouldn’t believe me either. But you’ll laugh when it finally happens. It’s funny how it works. As long as you believe that it’s possible, it will be. Just don’t stop trying. That’s it. Yours truly, Alex.
