Day 7: CONNECTION REQUEST
If you’ve already chosen a market, this should be fairly simple for you.
Ang gagawin mo lang is to find them.
And you can do this several ways…
You can connect with other freelancers on LinkedIn.
After all, the more connections you have on LinkedIn, the more you can reach other clients and the greater the likelihood you will appear in someone’s search results.
You can also join related FB/LinkedIn Groups in your market para makita mo sila.
“Pero John… what if wala naman yung market ko sa Facebook or Linkedin or etc…?”
I hear ya.
Hindi nga naman lahat ng prospects clients nasa FB, LinkedIn, IG or Tiktok.And if that’s the case, then you’re gonna have to be a bit creative.
How?
Listing down 20+ companies (if you could go more than that, the better) you’d like to work with.
For example…
Say you want to work with tech companies.
While it may be hard to search for FB or LinkedIn groups where these people hang out…
It’s relatively easy to find them on Google.
Once you find them, check out their website and other assets, then find details on who the CEO, Founders, team, etc.
Because more often than not, they’d have a link straight to their social media profiles.
(You can manually search for their profile in FB, LInkedIn, IG, or Tiktok).
Or say your target coaches in the personal development space…
You can go to Amazon…
Search for all the books about personal development.
List down the author names.
Look for them on either FB or LinkedIn.
Then grab a link to their profile.
Easy peasy.
What you want to do is create a list of their names together with the link to their profiles or websites so it would be easy for you to reach them whenever you want to.
(You might also want to grab their email while you’re at it for future use *wink*)
Now, once you’ve found them, all you have to do is to connect or add them to your network.
Click the following guides below if you need help on:
*For IG and Tiktok, just proceed as is.
If public page or profile lang nakita mo, give them a ‘follow’.
If email lang nakita mo, send them an email telling them that you’re a fan and that you like their work (makikita pa rin naman nila ung email signature mo na optimized kahit di ka magpitch ng services).
Again, what’s important is they see WHO you serve and WHAT problem you are solving.
