Key Money-Making Insights
Apollo leads are oversaturated, requiring higher-quality copy and alternative lead sources like Sales Navigator or Google scraping. For those with $30k in Upwork earnings, the focus should be on raising prices rather than starting fresh. College students can realistically target $10k/month within 3 years by sticking to one automation business model consistently.
Top Money-Making Q&As
Question 1
I have $30k in Upwork earnings as a copywriter and want to move off-platform. Should I offer my service for free to get video testimonials? Is posting content premature? Should I start fresh?
You don't need video testimonials; I don't use them. Don't start fresh. Keep doing what works and raise your prices. Once you have more earnings, you can teach others, which is higher leverage.
Question 2
I'm in college and want to make $10k/month in 3 years. Should I start this type of business, and will it still be a thing in 3 years?
Yes, stick with one thing. This exact business model might change, but an evolved version will exist. It's a good path.
Question 3
Are Apollo's leads getting milked by everyone, or is it just August and people are on vacation? I sent 3,000 emails and got nothing.
Both. Apollo leads are overused because it's the lowest-hanging fruit. The bar for good copy is higher now. Also, it's August, people are on vacation. Find leads from other sources like Sales Navigator or by scraping Google. Go above and beyond the easy options.
