 So in today's video we're gonna do more rapid-fire Q&A and if you don't know what that is It's basically a rapid-fire question-and-answer session where I collect all the best Questions from my Facebook group my email lists and my YouTube comments And I just go through them one by one and give you my personal opinion my answer to these questions So today we have one two three four five six seven of them So basically what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna read you the question then I'll just give you my answer I'm gonna give you my personal opinion to each of these questions here Let's hop right into it. The first is from Paulius. He's in my Facebook group. He says hey Sean Don't know if you've been in this situation, but how do you start a business while working full-time? How do you not piss off your current employer and how do you manage your public image for your business? While being employed social media profiles honesty versus hiding behind we or company name or all-inning and going for it Right and Paulius. This is a great question. I actually had to deal with this situation myself back in 2016 I was still working as a project manager so I had a nine-to-five myself a corporate job at a tech company in Seattle here and My situation was a bit different. So I was in the e-commerce space at that time so I didn't have to switch around my LinkedIn or my Facebook or Anything really I could just keep it all the same and my employer wouldn't even know the type of business I was building right so I number one I don't recommend you just quit your job cold turkey if you don't have any clients or income coming in That's the first thing. I don't want anyone watching this to think that I'm just saying go out and quit your job Right, so I don't recommend doing that I didn't quit my job until my e-commerce business was doing triple of what I was making in my annual salary so it took me a while to actually quit my job and Really, there's no easy answer to this. Okay, so if you are building a service-based business and you're going out and getting clients My number one recommendation is just to use channels that your employer isn't really looking at right So LinkedIn might be off the table for you, but there's cold emails There is even cold calling if you're targeting local businesses. There is potentially even Facebook, right? So I don't think employers always look at your Facebook profile You can adjust your tagline Maybe if you don't have any of your co-workers who are going to rat you out as your friends So you can adjust your tagline and then use that to go use your Facebook profile to go and prospect in groups Right, so the other thing is you can create a second social profile But I believe that's against all the social media platforms in terms of service So, you know do that at your own risk, but the answer for you is don't quit your job unless you have some kind of income coming in But if you're gonna go out and go and get clients and build a service-based business use channels that your employer isn't Actively looking at yeah, that's that's the easiest not the easy answer, but that's that's my answer to you There really is no easy answer to this if you're building a business while you're employed in the services space Right, so hopefully that helps Polyus if it doesn't please comment below and let me know if you have any follow-up questions Second question is from Jacob He says if I'm in web or app development, what's the best method for outreach? Do I just send cold offers to companies? I've been using inbound marketing tactics so far So Jacob, this is another good question and you could really replace this with anything right web app development It doesn't my recommendation is pretty much going to be the same for all of these is get your offer together I create an offer figure out who you're targeting and figure out what you're offering the exact service in your case It's web and app development then whip up a quick landing page that talks about what you do who you help and how you help them and Then start virtually knocking on doors. Yeah doing outreach So I think inbound marketing is great But if you are just getting started and you don't have any clients yet and you don't have any experience It is very hard to just wait around and wait for clients to come to you because you don't have any proof That what you do works right so inbound marketing I like using inbound when you have some proof and case studies and you can prove that what you do actually works And you can show people what you actually do. So yes in the beginning I do recommend Going out cold companies and maybe also tapping people in your warm network, right? I talk about this all the time, but your friends your family your colleagues mutual connections There's got to be someone in there that can benefit from your web or app development service That you can offer for a heavy discount or incentive-based pricing or even for free in some cases I don't always like to do that But even even for free in some cases in order to get a case study right to use to go out and get more clients So best method for outreach same thing that I always talk about my channel Just figure out who you're serving the niche and your service and create a quick landing page or quick website Talking about who you help or who you are who you help what you do and then start contacting companies tell them about your offer and See if they're interested in having a conversation with you a 15-minute call Okay, and number one before that is to reach out to your warm network, right? Go go out to people you know first and that's going to be the easiest place for you to get your first couple clients or so All right, so that's second question question number three from Vincent Vincenzo How to create a system to organize the delivery of every service? So Vincenzo what you want to do is pick one service, right? Don't every time you add another service to your arsenal to your suite what you offer You are 10xing the complexity, right? That's a new service that you have to learn that's a new service that you have to hire out for That's a new service that you have to learn to speak about and you know promote on your website So really the way to create a system is to make it simple And you need to have one service in the beginning that converts and that way when you're selling that service and you're delivering it to clients You can create step-by-step SOPs or step-by-step instructions on fulfilling the service managing the client and all the Operations that go into the service and delivering it to clients Okay, so the way that you create a system is focus on one service Deliver that a few times to clients and then write out the steps one by once You can hire someone a virtual assistant or you know hand it off to a freelancer hand off the steps to a freelancer to do It for you and That's that's how you do it is really to keep it simple. Don't offer like 10 20 different services That's that's the question I get a lot is how many services should I answer the answer is one and that's going to allow You to systemize the entire process once you go and deliver it for a few clients Okay, so this is number four. I believe Danny says or asks best white label companies to outsource the LinkedIn lead generation I do not give any recommendations because this changes all the time the white label provider that we used when we started For a few months. They're no longer around so I don't want to recommend a company and they go out of business But here's what you do Danny I just did this quick Google search for you best white label companies for LinkedIn and You can see all these people on the first page for you to go and research and go out and talk to you See if they'd be a fit to work with so let's just go to this one right here cleverly Services white label link White label LinkedIn Legion Here we go 397 a month. They tell you everything that they include in this. Okay, but here's one company They're ranked number one in the Google search engine number two. We got co-pilot AI This is a lead generation software. So maybe not this right here resellers and agencies Let's see what they got so not much information here. Looks like you have to schedule a call first Yep, so you're really gonna have to talk to these companies Okay, I can't recommend the best one because we do most of this in-house now with my virtual assistants Let's look for one more here Publicity port I was looking at these guys earlier LinkedIn Legion LinkedIn organic lead generation white label organic Their process they do all of this here Contact us See if they got more information our process okay, so Right here. They tell you their entire process right they Partner connects with us to understand the services. So you reach out to them you sign a partnership agreement You connect with their digital marketing strategy strategist you brief them about the client when you when you close the deal You interact with the client Or they interact with the client right here We interact with the client to answer their queries and explain the next steps We do the work then we share the reports and interact with the client regularly or if demanded by the client then repeat this process Okay, so this might be a good one to look at publicity port comm So I'm not gonna give you people ask this all the time best white label companies Can you give me the best one the number one company? No, I can't because that changes all the time You really have to just this is where the research comes in Okay, you got to go out and talk to these companies and that's the nature of the services business You have to go out and talk to you and talk to people Whether it's your clients or whether it's your partners in the business the people that provide the service You got to learn to communicate effectively and make sure that you are vetting your suppliers vetting the providers and looking for people with Good reviews so go out book a call with these people see if they're fit ask them for some case studies or testimonials and You can use that in your marketing potentially as well So that's why label companies to outsource LinkedIn Legion. You just saw my process for finding that Danny It's up to you to go out and reach reach out to these companies and see their process from there So last question our Facebook ads a good idea Daniel asks our Facebook ads a good idea to advertise your service Like especially because the target a super specific audience Daniel Facebook ads or advertising in general. I do not think it's a good idea to advertise your service Unless you have five to ten clients or more the reason is you can easily spend thousands of dollars trying to get one client and Most of the time you won't even get if you don't know like your offer your pricing the market exactly You don't know how long these clients stay I think it's it's dumb to spend money on advertising right you need to prove the business first using free methods You need to prove your offer is going to convert and as soon as you start to get some clients and sales coming in Then you can you can think about looking at Facebook advertising to speed up your growth Right, but as far as getting your first few clients like your first one to three clients I don't recommend using Facebook ads or advertising in general to get your first few clients Okay, you need to prove that the offer converts that you're going to be able to sell the service and Just spending money on ads unless you have thousands of dollars to just throw away and test with I don't think it's a wise use of of your money, so Our Facebook ads a good idea to advertise your service to target a super specific audience No, if you're just getting started, but yes if you're trying to grow a lot quicker, right? So once you have dialed in your niche your offer your price point You're seeing if it at you if it actually gets results for your clients then yes You can dial in your service and scale of your business with Facebook ads or Google ads or whatever else, okay?
