Why business owners hate you (and it's not what you think) - The fake friend technique that's killing your outreach
If someone only became your friend to use you for their own benefit and they didn't care about you at all, how would you feel? Pretty shit right? Used, manipulated, angry probably a bit stupid for falling for it. Well that's exactly what bait & switch outreach feels like to business owners. You slide into their DMs pretending to be a fan, asking innocent questions, building 'fake' rapport... When really you just want to sell them something. And when you finally pitch them? They feel exactly like that person who got used by a fake friend. Manipulated. Annoyed. And definitely not buying from you. It gives off the impression that you are only using them for your benefit and your not actually here to help them. And look, I know it's not your fault because that's what these gurus have been teaching us to do, I don't blame you one bit... That's why I stopped doing it. That's why I hate it. I don't want to make people feel like they've been tricked. Business owners would rather you just be direct, personalised, and honest. Authenticity beats manipulation every.single. time. The people making real money in freelancing stopped playing games years ago. They just tell the truth.

I don't pitch them my service after DMing them. I pitch them on a free consulting call for discussing a problem they might have and advising them on how to solve the problem......in details. After that if they wanna do it themselves.....good. If they ask for my help, I help them. I might even do the work for free if I like them. (Free value/work makes us more money in the long run)

Email marketing on mobile??!!
Hey, my PC is having a lot of problems. Can someone give me advice on how to provide email marketing services by android mobile phone?

@Dahyah Qalbi thanks....but many business owners use mailerlite, kit or beehive. It is possible to do it on phone but quite difficult.

@Alicia Joseph well I was offering segmentation and automation (these things are fun)..... I could do it but my PC.....is history. Gotta change the packaged offer.
Free work makes you more profit than paid work.
Providing free work will lower your credibility and also your demand. But the headline says otherwise. Right? Let me explain. As a copywriter you can and should provide other services. Like email strategy, email automation set up, thumbnail design and YouTube strategy(if you are a scriptwriter), landing page copywriting etc. I will advice you to do these extras for free. Why? Because when you help clients more than what you are being paid for, they feel like they are indebted to you. That's human nature. When someone gives us more than what we expect, we feel indebted. That way later on in your career, you can ask them for a favour. (Yes, you should stay in contact with them even when you are not working with them) Like for referrals or networking or finding the right person to learn about any new trend or topic etc. And also, you should be the one to point out the problems and recommend doing them for free. The more indebted they feel, the more unforgettable you become.
A question that is keeping me stuck from starting....
If I am providing email marketing service for free to showcase my expertise to the client (I will charge him premium rates once I proof that I can do the work properly), who pays for the email marketing tool? Me or the client? (Cuz I am starting from $0)

@Suyash Maurya thanks. It does help. Cuz I am selling both one time payment service and recurring service. Some people only needs the one time payment service. So, thanks again.
