⏱️ 2-Second Poll: Where do you want to aim next?
SIXers...
Everything I’ve shown you so far—TARGETS, PAYLOAD, TIMING—I learned from starting on Upwork.
But the three dials don’t care where you use them.
These matter for the cold outreach I'm doing right now, too.
They matter when I reach out to potential affiliate partners.
They matter whenever you are communicating with anyone, to accomplish anything.
Upwork is kinda like a "lukewarm, halfway in between cold and hot" outreach. It's why I always compare job boards to Tinder. But...
Taking shots, looking for evidence instead of proxies, and keeping a floor work anywhere you’re trying to turn a stranger into a deal.
So where should we aim next?
Please vote below, and if you're feeling really extra credit, do us a BIG favor and say which SPECIFIC type of outreach channel you're interested in.
🥶 COLD OUTREACH — You start conversations with strangers through cold email, calls, DMs, or direct mail.
🧲 ORGANIC INBOUND — Prospects find you through your posts, videos, search results, or a newsletter you’ve built.
💰 ADS — You pay to put your offer in front of prospects through Meta, Google, LinkedIn, or other ads.
🤝 WARM NETWORK — You upsell existing clients, get referrals to new clients, take on overflow work from agencies, etc.
