Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
Did you win any of the Upwork proposals you sent?
I sent 13 and got 3 replies. A 25% reply rate. Didn't proceed, I was bottlenecked.
Question 2
How would you create content to attract local businesses if you were just starting out?
I wouldn't. Inbound is the worst way to start. You have no accomplishments, no one will watch you. Go outbound. It makes you a better salesperson. If forced to make content, I'd solve specific problems, like my video on automating a plumbing business.
Question 3
What's the best way to find and outreach to high net worth individuals in London for a luxury car rental business?
High net worth individuals are CEOs, founders, and investors. Don't worry about a large lead list; AI allows for hyper-personalization at scale. Your offer needs to be about easy access, no headaches, and exclusive experiences. An event or photography angle could work. I haven't had success in this market with cold email.
