Stop sending this DM.
“Hi sir/ma, I’m a social media manager. I help businesses grow. Are you looking for one?”
Please. 😭
You haven't given them a reason to care.
Try:
“I noticed your page gets engagement, but your posts aren't really giving people a reason to take the next step.
I have 2 ideas that could help. Want me to send them?”
Observation → value → conversation.
Much better than “Hi sir/ma.”
Companies are hiring Virtual Assistants, Social Media Managers, Transcribers and Content Writers, with no degree required. Pay ranges from $10-$40/hr.
Here are 25 of them, with direct application links.
PS: There’s something on this list for everyone.
There’s a passage in the Bible that says “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do.” I don’t think people get it…
Understanding the times and seasons you’re in can tell you what to do, what skills to learn, and what direction to take.
It’s one of the things that keeps you relevant in every season.
My prayer for you is may God give us the wisdom to understand our times and know exactly what to do. Amen🙏🏽❤️ Good morning

@goldndubueze Everyone has the time that works for them though.
Although on LinkedIn from 5am-9am and then from 7pm-9pm is always a peak time.
So people just post around that time.
Although some people do it but they don't even know why they do it.
Learn how people think.
Learn how to write it down.
Learn how to sell it.
Learn how to make them say yes.
Learn how to position it.
Learn how to negotiate your worth.
Learn how to walk into a room and own it.
Learn how to connect the dots faster than everyone else.
These are not soft skills.
These are the skills you need to quote a higher price.
Month 1 of posting: 10 views.
Month 3: one viral post that took me from 30 followers to 100.
Month 6: a founder DMs me saying "I've been watching your page for a while."
They're always watching before they're hiring.
Don't stop showing up because the empty DMs.
Quiet DMs are full of lurkers with budgets.
Tech isn't just one skill. It's an industry with many different career paths.
One of the first decisions you'll need to make when starting a career in tech is choosing an area to focus on. Each career path requires you to learn different skills and tools, so trying to learn a little bit of everything can leave you feeling confused and make it harder to make real progress.
Instead, choose one area and make it your focus.
Whether it's cybersecurity, cloud computing, data analysis, software engineering, UI/UX design, or any other field, give yourself enough time to understand it before moving on to something else.
The area you choose will guide the courses you take, the projects you build, the certifications you pursue, the skills you develop, and even the jobs you apply for.
If you're not sure where to start, spend some time researching different areas in tech. Look at the demand for the skill, the type of work involved, the opportunities available, and whether it's something you can see yourself doing long term.
You don't have to learn every area in tech to build a successful career. Becoming really good at one area can take you much further than trying to learn everything at once.
Growth in tech doesn't come from trying to learn everything. It comes from choosing a direction, staying focused, and continuing to build your knowledge in that area.
As I grow deeper in my walk with Christ,
I’ve come to realize that if you don’t feel like praying, force yourself to pray!!
Because something is also fighting to keep you from praying😭
force yourself!
