Becoming a digital entrepreneur is difficult.
- Intense competition.
- Delayed results.
- Lack of clarity.
This is why most people quit.
How do you succeed?
Learn how to write.
This is the best place to start.
Writing is the foundation of digital media.
However, most people are already writing today.
In a world where everybody is writing, you have to to become exceptional.
- Make it interesting.
- Make it persuasive.
- Make it relatable.
Writing goes beyond stringing words together.
Attract attention and then convert it.
Learn how to build.
Building gives you more leverage.
This is how you add value to your ideas.
- Build communities.
- Build sales funnels.
- Build products.
Sharing content attracts people around your ideas.
Once people resonate with your ideas and join your audience, have somewhere else for them to go.
Email lists are the best option because they often attract those who want more.
Package insights as lead magnets to grow your email list.
Package value addressing your community’s pain points as products.
Learn how to sell.
A digital business is not complete without income.
Selling is the exchange of value for your ideas.
- Craft offers.
- Do outreach.
- Have conversations.
It’s easier to sell to people who already know what you do.
This is because most people buy from you because it’s you.
Inbounds are easier to close but sometimes you will also have to reach out to people yourself.
- Be strategic when prospecting.
- Understand exactly what they need.
- Make sure you are in a position to help them.
Here’s how I’ve done it.
Everyday I post content around my interests.
Sometimes I get inbounds but I also interact with people who engage.
My outreach is targeted to specific people.
Through conversations I find out:
- Their goals.
- Their interests.
- Their struggles.
Then I present my offer.
I’ve helped my clients:
- Generate unique writing ideas. -Package their unique interests.
- Position as authorities.
- Attract clients.
A few things to note.
- It takes time.
- It takes effort.
- It takes resilience.
The sooner you start failing.
The sooner you start winning.
Invest and succeed.
