How I made my first $10k sale
I couldn’t even imagine making a $1k sale 2 years ago, let alone a $10k sale. It took me 3 months to make my first sale online: $13 And then 6 months later I sold an online business owner on a $10k copywriting/consulting offer from my laptop in Ireland. He paid me another $3k a few weeks later to help him with emails... Resulting in $13k total. Here’s how he found me. Everytime I learned something, I made a youtube video. When I’d get a good open rate on an email, I’d share the strategy I used. When I’d sign a client, I’d share how. When I helped said client make money, I’d make a video about it. After doing that for a few months, this guy, Michael, saw one of my videos about winning the Skool games (my biggest accomplishment in business at that point). Michael wanted to grow a Skool community, and win Hormozi’s Skool games by being one of the fastest growing communities in November. He watched my video, and booked a call. From there, we chatted about his goals, and I told him it’d be $3k-$5k for me to write him some marketing to help him win the Skool Games.. I told him on the call, that I’d: “Draft up a written proposal after doing some research so he could see exact pricing.” This was important. Because this is where I added a few “extra” optional items. I said *if he wanted* I could also design him some graphics to help his skool about page convert better. And help train his operations guy on the CRM automations he’d need for his emails. And a few other things, all priced at $1-2k each. He asked me a few questions about pricing. I offered to send him a cheaper copywriter if my proposal was out of budget. “No let’s go with all of it. $9,900.” I couldn’t believe it. I turned my phone off and laid on the bed. I remember thinking, “I can’t wait to tell my mom about this.” Now I had to help someone win the games. Michael made $50k the next month and won the skool games. I went on to sign 3 10k+ clients in the following weeks. Takeaways?
