A REGRETTABLE MISTAKE I MADE WHEN I STARTED IN THE ONLINE SPACE AND HOW YOU SHOULD AVOID IT.
I just clocked 19 years old when I started online marketing,
I was naive,
A novice with no mentor,
I had no idea of where to start or where I was heading to,
I was angry, broke and frustrated.
I can't still figure out what gave me a headache then, probably the three.
I wanted to be financially free but I wasn't financially buoyant( I had nothing, not even a thousand note)
Fortunately for me I saw an advert about how a guy who made a lot of money just by selling information,
Then I thought of what I could sell, I remember I had the knowledge of upwork creation( If you're a freelancer, you should know how hard it is to create an account on upwork as a Nigerian)
Then, boom I package my knowledge and added some spice to it(bonus), time for advert,
I had no audience and no money,
so I borrowed N1,000 from my sister to run adverts.
PS: WhatsApp advert was cheap then, not anymore😂.
Fortunately for me the advert converted and my first mistake started from this!
1) I had no lead magnet: I ran the advert directly to my WhatsApp group,
I didn't save their contact and they didn't save mine either.
Immediately they left my group, that was the end.
And the rate at which people left my group was massive😂😂.
HOW TO AVOID THIS: If you sell digital products using WhatsApp only
Here's a simple funnel structure you can use:
Traffic source( Facebook, twitter or any social media platform)
👇
Landing page that sells your lead magnet not your products. pS: Carrd.co is free and very easy to use.
👇
WhatsApp
👇
Lead magnet
👇
Nurture them through your status or broadcast message.
Using this, there would be exchange of number for your lead magnet.
Even if they don't buy from you immediately, as long as you're putting out content everyday, they'll eventually buy from you.
If you gained from this, please like, share and comment on this post.
