How *I* got my first paying client

Here’s how I got my first paying client online...and what led to her asking ME how she could hire me. One day, in a daring mood, I boldly messaged a woman whose questions I’d seen on Facebook: “Hi! I saw your questions about advertising — I do this in my job and would love to help you! Are you free for a quick call? I promise I’m not trying to sell you anything! All I ask in return is your help with a few market research questions.” (If you didn’t know, my first online business was taking my job skills in advertising and consulting on that.) That led to an hour-long Saturday morning call, after which she sent me lots of follow-up questions via email. Happily surprised that someone wanted my help, I responded with very detailed answers. After about two weeks of this, I opened my inbox and to an unexpected note from her: “Thank you for all your help! I know there’s so much more I can learn from you...how can we work together?” Believe it or not, I didn’t have an answer because I honestly hadn’t expected that someone would actually be willing to pay me! As you’ve probably guessed, we were able to figure it out (even though I was sweating bullets when I shared how I could help her and how much it would cost). The 7 seconds it took her to say yes were the longest 7 seconds of my life...but after that, I was in business! That’s when I realized that people actually WANTED to pay me for my help! All I had to do was let them know I existed and that I could help them. So I figured out more ways to do just that. While keeping it simple and focusing on just a few things that actually mattered. As a result, I ended up making $106K in four months in that business...WHILE also working my full-time job at the time. (And by the way, I still can’t believe how quickly it happened once I focused on the right things.) After I left my job, I started getting questions about how I’d been able to do it. Which led me to start my current business. I share this to show you my own journey, to share what’s possible for you too, and to let you know that I’m not someone who decided to start teaching business yesterday. In fact, I’ve been doing this for quite a while now. During that time, I’ve built a reputation for having the most thorough, results-driven courses around. And due to the effectiveness of what I teach, my advice is now regularly featured in top publications, like Forbes, Bloomberg, Business Insider, Inc, and more. Most importantly, I’ve been able to help thousands of my clients build their own online businesses. That’s why I hope to see you inside [Your First Paying Clients]( , so that I can help you do the same. Because I know just how possible it is for anyone willing to believe in their dreams and take action, including YOU. Enrollment closes soon. I don’t want you to miss out!
