Why can’t you find paying clients? 🤨
You’re probably too focused on making money instead of delivering results and gaining knowledge.
Here’s the thing:
BIG money comes when you lock in on your niche.
Study how to bring the results your ideal clients desperately want. That’s the real game.
Think about those NPC DMs you get:
- They hit you up when you’re not even in the buying window
- No social proof
- Talking about money right away
- Barely mentioning any real benefits or just nonsense
Sound familiar?
You’re doing the same thing.
Instead of cold messaging random people, focus on building your social presence. Let opportunities come to you.
If you’re genuinely good at what you do:
- Companies will reach out to you
- Referrals will flow from past clients
I’ve never sent an outreach message. From day one, I asked myself:
"How can I become a great editor?"
I learned everything I could, posted my crappy edits, and improved over time.
The result?
Inbounds. Clients. Growth.
Now, I get to reject companies I don’t vibe with whether it’s about pay or different values.
I haven’t touched a rug-pull dropshipping brand in 6–7 months, even though the offers are there.
Because I don’t need to.
@groudgrid That's 100% true but I didn't say anything about the price, because I know that many editors, especially beginners, don't pay for AE plugins 😉
