I didn’t start trying to get money 1.2 years ago…
More like since 2017
I have started as a freelancer of course, the way young person would start
(I’m 24 yo right now, my ages goes along with the years, so it’s easy for you to count) 😂
Long story short I offered through many services as a freelancer, tried dropshipping, tried agency business model.
1/ Freelancing
I was a software engineer (not so much future in our country, wise isn’t available let alone a good paying job)
I used to create (IOS, Android, and Web)
I stopped it cause not everyone understands that when they ask for an UBER Eats clone for 190$ in 2 weeks is a disservice to everyone!
It costs a lot!
It takes a lot of time!
Plus, AI can write blocks and blocks of code with one line have you seen Gemini Advanced! True you need to be a developer to use it
you get my point…
2/ Dropshipping
I went it hot headed, no knowledge nothing, except my SE skills, obviously it was not helpful
Imagine this…
You watch a Luke Belmar post about dropshipping, he speaks about how it made him millions
You’re young in 2017 is not young right now, trust me there is a difference.
You start a clothing brand, because you’ve always liked fashion the most “looking good” “feeling good” I mean damn!
Then it flops the first month, because
You do not what are ads, digital marketing, just a guy posting on twitter the links of your products from china, that was a dumb idea 🤣
3/ Agency
This was the start of the 1.2 years
wait till you hear about it, it was wild year!
I was looking for a way (I know It was a bit late) to make a living that is not a 9–5 I did always hate that since highschool
I stumbled upon the godfather of agencies Image Gahdzi
He was the angecy business model, costs nothing and all it’s very scalable 10k/mo (10k!? 10k is 240 million in my country’s currency!) I was like I’m all in
Tried it learned the “Facebook Ads Agency” thing, it was supposed to be a quick huge succes right?…WRONG!
It was a walk down to hell, without the ROI, true I was delusional (very…)
Afterwards, I’ve tried a TikTok Ads agency, because Iman taught about FB, but FB was old, who’s still using FB?? You grandma maybe
Then, I wanted to have more reach, and because TikTok Ads were not available in my country, so I transformed it into a TikTok Creative Agency
around August last year I wanted even more reach! So what has everything in common in all these?
I found it everything has writing on it, TikTok, FB, Twitter, and I was naturally good at writing, It didn’t go as I expected 😬
Long story short, I sucked at copywriting, I had to learn how to actually write to influence people
Nothing seemed to work, until…
I have stumbled upon something that costs nothing, something that I’m naturally good at, and it takes less time (that’s why we hate 9–5 for, cause it takes so much time and freedom)
Finally! Clients started to roll in, meetings, I’ve had 20 meetings a month from Aug-Dec, Dec was my crash…
I have exhausted all of my resources, I had to close my TikTok Agency
Rebranded my copywriting agency from Headline Hustlers Copywriting to the Write Brothers Email Copywriting to the Email Twin Email Marketing
so what I did after was something crazy…
I closed all of my agencies!
Personal Brand
I have discovered along the way; many gurus, and big names in both the agency, and copywriting niches
In November (Yes yes, I did sense my impending doom in december) I started taking a look at social media particularly 𝕏
I was counting to find “Agencies” there, I did there’s every kind of agency, everyone and their mother had agency
But I noticed something…
They did not stand out, they were just like me, another “I will 2x your revenue using persuasive copy”
Then, I have noticed something else! And this one was pretty interesting…
Personal brands!
People using their face as their brands, they provide services, or sell products using trust and authenticity, and more than this…
Personality!
Ah! this was it
personality…this stands out “People buy from people they like”-Alex Hormozi-
selling depends on the buyers emotions towards you -ME-
“sell yourself first, then selling your services will be easy” -Andrew Tate-
