SCT #229 -- Sliding into people's DMs, yes/no?
|
Howdy Reader! My Instagram account is connected to my Threads account, so I've had a few people initiate contact with me on Instagram by direct messaging (DMing) me. This for me is a bit like cold-calling. One guy sent me a DM right after I liked one of his posts, and wanted to send me a free guide. I told him in as many words, "We're not there yet." Another guy handled it betterSomeone else did much the same thing, but somehow he handled it better. Likely, he simply took a bit more time getting to know me before serving up an offer. We ended up chatting on Google Meet about his new product (he called it a "research call") and I got a complimentary copy of one of his paid products out of it. Ended up working pretty well! I'm not sold myself on DMsI may be sold a bit more when I have something more to offer. But right now I'm not cornering anyone in their DMs myself. How do you feel about people direct messaging you? Let's grow together! ~ John When you're up for it, here are some other ways I can help you:

What to replace these with, though? For my latest trick, I'm turning to Reddit. Yeah, Dopamine Central. 130,000+ active subreddits and counting. A never-ending dynamic supply of questions to answer. Turns out, helping people gives me a dopamine hit. And if done properly, it can be very profitable. A...
Howdy Reader! Cashing out on online poker helped me to start a bit earlier last night. Still have more things to fix, but one at a time. 🤣 The GAS Method. A few weeks ago I teased The GAS Method. But today I'll reveal what it stands for. If I can get this down for myself, I know it will take a lot of stress out of my content creation. I can just feel it. Gauge the work. I want to maintain consistency in what I produce. I've failed at this too many times, and it's knocked the wind out each...
Howdy Reader! I picked up online poker at the start of the pandemic. I had played (free) Zynga Poker on Facebook, and thought that I was good enough at that to profit in online cash games. What I didn’t know at the time was that people play a lot differently if there’s real money on the line. It doesn’t matter that the “real money” was only a $0.25 buy-in to a six-person knockout tournament. So I learned on weekly freeroll tournaments and micro-stakes. Five years I played, sometimes several...
