If you want to know how you can do the same stick around to the end of this post, give it a LIKE 👍and I'll show you exactly how you can copy what I did for yourself. The hardest part of starting an online business isn't finding clients. It's having something to sell them that they're actually looking for. Jay calls this the Foot-in-the-Door Offer. You know the feeling. You want to help businesses, you want to make money, but you don't have case studies yet. You're basically asking people to trust you based on... what exactly? And even worse, you're guessing at what they need instead of letting them tell you. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎄 Here's What Happened I sent a super simple white label SaaS video to a business owner who was referred to me by a former business associate. Nothing fancy. Just walked through a few different services I could help with. They wrote back asking about a service mentioned in the video that I had NO IDEA they were looking for. That one video turned into $10,000 in revenue generated. Not because the video was perfect. It was because it gave them a solution to a specific pain they were feeling at the time. This same Foot-in-the-Door strategy generated over $500K in revenue in the first year, and connected me with higher profile clients. If you've gone through Jay's Intro or Copywriting modules, you've heard him break down why foot-in-the-door offers work. This is that principle in action, you stop feeling like you're asking for a favor and start offering value. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🎁 Your Christmas Gift From Me (And a Fellow Insider) If you're looking for a foot-in-the-door offer that actually works, with zero fulfillment, I want to help you kick off 2026 with a bang. Here's what we're doing: We'll give you a white-label video, messaging, + offer fulfillment that you can use. All you need to do is some outreach to prove to yourself that sending targeted messaging that solves a prospect's pain actually works...

🚫 Stop Sending DMs That Reek of Desperation (Steal This Cold Message That Actually Got a Reply) 95% of DMs being sent right now? 💩 They read like a Fiverr VA copy-pasted it from a 2021 YouTube tutorial.

I became a member of this community in November and have really got a lot of value out of the Classroom Course Modules and remembering to ✅ the ones I completed to stay on track. I think one of the best Modules has been "Business Advise" that UNLOCKS at Level 2. How did I get access? How did I Level UP to Level 2? By simply searching the community with KEYWORDS for answers to my questions in the search bar at the top. I was able to find post where people where answering those exact questions. I LIKED 👍 the ones that helped me and asked for clarification in the Comments💬 to make sure I understood correctly..... Not only did I learn faster, but I also connected with other people who are on the same journey. I'd like to share a quote: "If you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go together." -Burkina Faso We can all help each other in this Community accomplish each of our goals in 2025. I encourage you to try out what I described above and let me know how it goes for you below in the Comments 👇

Jay just turned his phone off for the weekend, and I have a secret to share.... First time in four months. Told the team not to email him until he decides to check back in. I ran a experiment starting this month: Grabbed one of Jay's old databases scraped from Instagram in 2023 Direct quote from Jay, "Ian, don't touch these, they're garbage. My students have been putting this list on blast for years." Me -> "I bet I can take what I've learned and still get it to work." Game Plan: I took a list of about 10 million contacts scraped in 2023 from Instagram. Picked a random niche. Sorted the contacts through Google Cloud computer using Google Drive links. Down to 30k contacts Verified for $50. Resulted in 15k verified list. Then I used Jay's foot-in-the-door offer method to write the first campaign. Used my Dyslexic Copywriter Style for the first 3 emails Replay to every opt-in with a super simple lead magnet. Automate offer and sales. What happened in 2 weeks: 4,224 emails sent 125 replies 21 opportunities 6 customers One new paying customer every other day. From a trash database. Zero sales calls - just a free Google ranking report and the reciprocity framework. Pacing to $1,000+ MRR in month one. Haven't even tested it in niches where I know it works. Here's what I figured out: LeadGenJay Insiders taught me WHAT works. How to set up Infrastructure to get my message in front of my ICP How to write campaigns that actually convert. How to sort and verify Data But I was still manually grinding every reply, every follow-up, every fulfillment. AI Automation Insiders taught me HOW to automate it. Now it runs while I sleep. That's the difference between a system you work and a system that works for you. Last week, I personally helped 10 people lock in lifetime access to both communities. The feedback has been insane. People are already seeing what happens when you combine the frameworks with the automation. But Jay closed that offer. Except I found something while his phone is off.
