I needed to raise urgent $400 - $500 in about a week sometime ago, and it was so urgent...
But I really did not know how to do it fast.
I had different offers, but no, I needed to flip something fast to raise that 500 bucks.
I didn't rely on my knowledge. Humble me, I went to one of my bosses DM.
And I explained myself to him...
He might be seeing this now. I don't know. He only asked me a single question...
And my response was positive. He said create an offer around it. And, make use of this festive season that's coming up.
What was the question? He said, do you have a service (skill)? Ahhh.. Is plenty... lol
He said, okay, do a VSL, 50% discount and push this skill... You can even use ads.
I was like, boss... I can't shoot a video. Nah, I'm too shy... And I don't have money for Ads...
He said, no problem, use your organic. But, do a video. A must!
I said okay, I will build the funnel, record the video (masked), then use organic marketing...
I wrote the sales copy & built the sales page under 24 hours. Thank God sey NEPA do well...
Me sef shock 😂
I sent them to him... He was like what!
He said, this is so great. Sales page was well designed, copy was badass...
He was even asking if I do build my funnels from scratch or use templates. Hehe...
Long story short, that page converted $400+ in less than 14 days.
No Ads.
All the sales came from a WhatsApp group. No Facebook, No Twitter, No Instagram, Nothing.
I pushed with Facebook, but all sales came from a WhatsApp Group.
And the WhatsApp group is NOT for me ✍️
This was a long time ago.
I was so happy I implemented...
It didn't take him an hour to give the instruction, it took me like 3 - 4 days to implement it...
Cause of the video. I recorded one video like 3 to 4 times. Boss was saying my voice dey sound somehow...
I was sha repeating it.
Till I got the one I could manage...
Just an instruction. I ran with it like my life depended on it. Made almost $500 bucks.
Used the money for what I wanted to use it for... And of course, my ritual, I bought pizza for my boss. Sent him money.
Got enough energy from there, pushed more offers out, made sweet bucks as well.
Life is sweet bah?
Yes! When you follow simple instructions.
People think it is until the instruction is so big that it cannot contain a big bowl, that's when it would yield. No!
Simple instructions are the hardest to implement for many people, and that's because they feel they won't work.
I was in need, could see no solution for myself
I had to run to someone higher... That's life.
The thing here is IMPLEMENTATION. Most people lack it. Yeah.
Imagine if I didn't have a skill. Imagine if I didn't push that stuff out cause I can't shoot video.
And he said I should NOT use a flyer. That I should use only a well explained video... Omo
Also, imagine if I said people won't buy this offer this period, that they will be more focused on this festive season...
Imagine if I had the skill, but I didn't know how to sell it? I didn't know how to write a copy or even market it?
Learning a skill is good. Learning sales is a life saver. Sales is the power man skill over any other skill. It will always be needed.
Skill acquisition without salesmanship is weak.
That's why we have many skilled broke folks all around. Don't be that person.
Imagine if I did not push that offer to a group on WhatsApp that's not even mine
Built a following there already but imagine if I never took it there.
That was the least place I could ever think of...
I didn't have money for Ads, and it must be pushed bah? Normal...
Worked with the admin of the group severally, so it was so easy pitching, just passed through him. And that was it...
IMPLEMENTATION.
What did your coach, consultant, mentor or that person you normally call boss boss boss said you should do and you haven't done?
Please go and work on them.
You should work on them.
Your life will be more straighter if you do.
Instructions are visa for flight. Failing to obey them will keep you where you are.
Go and do them.
Selah!
