Hey, long time no see
I know I haven’t sent any mail to you for a long time.
Do you still remember me?
Well for quick, I am Mantu from Twitter.
Reply to this email with a quick “yes” if you still remember me.
Well, why am I sending you this email?
To let you know something that I have learned in the past.
If you are a video editor, keep reading.
If you sell any other services, also keep reading.
If not, leave it — It doesn’t think you will find any value from it.
So in December, I hit my first $1500 in 30 days.
After that it went down — as always my curiosity towards trying new things.
Yeah, I pivoted towards providing full YouTube services to businesses.
BTW something good happened too.
It’s not that I broke my $1500 in 30 days threshold — I am still pushing my limits.
Now let me tell you the things I learned recently.
I recently started to do a ton of outreach.
You have seen that I was not active on Twitter recently.
Here’s the most important thing I learned:
It sucks — at the beginning at least.
I was stuck on outreach with many questions coming up in my mind.
What will I say on the sales call?
How much will I charge them?
Whom should I reach out to?
What will I write to them?
And a lot more questions that held me back from making progress.
And that was when I learned the importance of momentum.
You will be stuck forever if you keep thinking about it.
You will get the speed once you start to keep moving.
So here’s how I fixed it.
I set a really small step to follow.
That is to send 10 DM.
That’s all on day one.
I sent 10 DMs saying “Hi, are you looking for an editor?”
The first day I sent 10.
The second day I sent 20.
And on the third day sent 25.
And I kept increasing it gradually.
I removed all the questions from my mind.
At that point, I still don’t know
Whom to send it to?
What to send?
My charges?
F@$#, I even don’t know anything about sales calls.
But hey I kept the momentum up and it started to show some results.
I booked 5 meetings this month — 2 today.
Will tell you more about it soon.
Till then see you.
(I wrote this email in 20 minutes, F@$# Perfectionism)
