I've been quiet on X too long.

Here's who I am, what I'm building, and why I'm documenting everything publicly starting today.

6. Deliver so well that they refer you.

My first 10 clients came mostly through referrals after I over-delivered.

That’s it. No fancy funnel. No ads. Just consistent outreach + strong delivery.

Save this thread if you’re trying to get your first customers.

How I got my first 10 paying clients for Level Up PR with zero ad budget.

Exact steps I used, when I had no network and no money.

This still works in 2026.

5. Offer a “Founding Member” deal.

Lower price for the first few clients in exchange for feedback and testimonial.

This removes risk for them and gives you momentum + proof.

These books gave me unfair advantages that no $2k course ever matched.

Which one are you reading (or planning to read) next?

5 books that gave me more ROI than any course I’ve ever paid for.

And the one lesson I took from each):👇

5/ Shoe Dog by Phil Knight

Resilience > talent.

The Nike story taught me that every big brand looks glamorous from outside, but behind it is years of pain, rejection, and persistence.

Unpopular opinion:

Hustle culture is a distraction for people who don’t have a strategy.

Busy ≠ Productive Long hours ≠ High output

The founder who works 10 focused hours beats the one grinding 16 aimless ones every time.

Agree or disagree? Let’s debate in the comments 👇

@CynthiaCider Mostly trigger events and engagement signals.

If someone is talking about the problem, hiring around it, launching something new, or publicly sharing growth goals, there's usually a conversation worth having.

The DM lands differently when it matches what's already happening.

[Sahil Sachdeva @sahilsachdevaaa]

I had $0, no network, and just one idea.

No fancy setup. No audience. No “entrepreneur” tag in my bio.

Just a simple offer and the willingness to message strangers every single day.

Here’s what actually got me to my first $10k/month 👇

One screenshot that changed how I think about pricing forever 👇

Most price for comfort. Winners price for value.
This shift took me from $750/mo to $9k/mo deals by focusing on the value I deliver.

Stop charging for costs. Charge for the value you create

Your pricing strategy?

[Sahil Sachdeva @sahilsachdevaaa]

@CynthiaCider Exactly, @CynthiaCider ICP tells you who could buy.

Intent signals tell you who’s already thinking about the problem right now. That timing shift alone makes cold DMs feel way less cold.

[Sahil Sachdeva @sahilsachdevaaa]

@pirwot Exactly @pirwot Most people wait to feel ready.

The ones who actually build something?
They start messy, learn fast, and figure it out on the way.

[Sahil Sachdeva @sahilsachdevaaa]

After years of building — here are the things I fundamentally believe about entrepreneurship.

Some of these are controversial. All of them I've tested with my own time and money.
