Top Money-Making Q&As

Question 1

How can I start an agency with absolutely no money?

Get a job. Starting with zero is brutally hard. Save up a little, even $20, and your life gets easier. If you must start with nothing, use cold DMs on social media. It's free. Just need good copy. Send 20-40 a day, consistently.

Question 2

Go to Upwork. Land your first client ASAP, even if the pay is low for the work. The math on customer acquisition cost vs. lifetime value is insanely good. The clients there have already stated their need.

Question 3

Why don't you run ads or sponsorships on your main channel for more money?
