Yes...what can you teach? I'm stealing this idea from @John Bejakovic and his Skool community, Daily Email House. For one, because I'm lazy. Two, because it's a fantastic idea. The idea I posted inside John's original thread got the most traction out of dozens, even though I ALWAYS downplay how awesome of an idea it is: Building a list of customers with a lazy ad funnel. In the spirit of laziness, and to give credit where credit is due, here's John's post...not copy-pasted, but rewritten juuuuuust enough that I can claim it as my own: ### What can you teach? What's something you can put a presentation about for people inside Funny Money? WHY would you want to put on a presentation for us? Here are a few reasons: 1. You can float an idea here to see if there's any interest (and no one will make fun of you, or I'll ban them) 2. If there IS interest, you can get my feedback, input, and help into organizing your presentation, or even organizing it into a PRODUCT! 3. If you do give your presentation, you can use feedback from the group to polish and improve what you're teaching, so you can then turn it into a paid offer or lead magnet to grow your own audience. 4. You can get ready testimonials or even case studies from people here, without jumping headfirst into running an ad funnel from scratch. 5. If you do end up making a presentation...and it's awesome...and I think my email list would benefit from using your offer...I may promote it to them and share the profits with you. Again, a source of "free" customers to seed your fledgling business. 6. Maybe by teaching something valuable yourself, you encourage others inside Funny Money to teach something valuable as well, which ends up benefiting you and everyone else down the line. (and especially benefiting ME. Who wouldn't want that?) So...can you teach? Comment below with your ideas. Brain dump 5 things you could teach below, or just post a couple of your favorites. Even if they seem wild, bizarre, completely nuts...there are no wrong answers.

Are you actively building your brand on any channels right now? Which one is your main focus and why?

A lot of you have been asking about Upwork specifically, and while this group is not about 'how to win clients on Upwork,' I think there IS a place in this world for Upwork discussion that isn't the hive of negativity formerly known as Reddit. So...here you go! Have at it. What's working for you right now? What isn't?

Have you been here for a whole 2 or 3 days already and wondered... When the heck is this guy going to give me something for free? Who does he think he is? Me too. So, here's our first contest: I've set a completely arbitrary time in the not-so-distant future. 👉 Once that time arrives...whoever's left the LAST, most recent comment in this thread wins a prize of their choice. Here are your options so far... ☝️ The One-Finger Facebook Ad: My favorite ad template for generating cash NOW, as in today, on your ad campaigns (tested on digital products but PROBABLY works with lead gen too) 📣 1-2-Many: How to get ‘gatekeepers’ to ENDORSE you to flocks of a dozen, 50, even a HUNDRED potential leads in one go…instead of pitching folks one at a time 🎩 My Mini Monopoly: The secret to me closing a 5-figure retainer on Upwork (that works anywhere, not just Upwork) and has NOTHING to do with the job, 'persuasion skillz,' confidence, or anything else you might think are important…that will seem completely UNDERWHELMING after you learn it...yet works like a charm, all the same. ⛔ The Anti-Nick Outreach System: How the PPC guy I hired wins loads of clients (I don’t do this, and I probably never will, and frankly I can’t STAND that this works so well for him...and NO HE DOESN'T EVEN RUN PPC ADS...but I’m willing to share it with you anyway. Don’t pick this option if you’re new at freelancing.) 👑 The Gold Magnet: Everyone says you gotta have a ‘lead magnet’ to give ‘free value’ or something. I have one too…but I have a BETTER way to build an audience. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ What an embarrassment of riches! But we're not done yet! 👉 If we get enough 'action' 😏 on this post, I may probably definitely introduce a few BONUS prizes... Alright? And just to make this even more complicated... 👉 If you INVITE someone to this group using the INVITE button (screenshot attached), and EITHER of you comment last on this post... BOTH OF YOU WIN. Invite 2 people? TRIPLE YOUR ODDS. That's infinite value, people. Grab your freelancin' friends and pile on in!
