I was hoping you’d make fun of the people who couldn’t get inside their customers’ heads. That way I’d know if I was on the right track or not.

I don’t know if I’m excited or scared. But I predict that if you do make fun of me, I’ll likely curse your name for a good 15 minutes (no offense), and after that I’ll put on my big girl panties and get to work.

This whole series has been incredibly helpful. Looking forward to the Earn1k program! One step closer to living the dream.

This course has been amazing, thank you so much for your great free content, you rock! Anyways I have my own business mostly online too and was really confused on how to budget my finances both personal & business since my income wasn’t set.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this, Ramit! Week 3 really hit home for me, especially the First Three Clients (my new mantra). Also helped me improve my perspective on the situation. Instead of just doing my usual ad campaigning like I did to start my first biz back when (which worked but took much too long), I will now be delving heavily into productive networking and actually seeking out individuals in need. Something in my head clicked when I read your article. THANK YOU!

Ramit,

This is off topic, but I am trying to find this video of you and Tim Ferris talking about failed start ups and using failure as a learning experience, etc. I’ve done searches on both blogs but can’t find it. Am I imagining this? I could have sworn I saw it once (I want to forward it to a friend).

Love love love this whole thing. Lucky for me, I’ll be leaving a job I’m not fond of anyhow in a few months, so I’ll have time to put everything I learn into practice, finally! Recap is something I need to go through later on today, adding it to my to-do list.

Hey Ramit,

The way you’ve been “promoting” the Earn1k program is an actionable takeaway for the freelancing and consulting readers as well.

“How do I use my site or blog to get clients/customers?”

Do what Ramit did here:

1) Announce a series, theme, free course, etc.
2) Start posting super-useful articles that are laser-focused on a topic
3) Do live video Q&As on the topic
4) Mention to sign up for a list where a program/service *might* happen (feel free to be cheeky here)
5) Rinse and repeat steps #2 & #3 while continuing to include the signup
6) Ask the readers what they’d want from the program/service as you continue mentioning it more
7) Now that you’ve pre-sold most of the potential clients/customers with the weeks of free relevant content, officially announce the program/service (people on the list get first dibs/discounts/whatever)

Ramit, once you launch the Earn1k program and get figures, perhaps you could do one final article laying out how this process helped you get the members/customers.

Looking forward to the Earn1k program,
Oleg

That’s the one – thanks so much – I appreciate it!

@Oleg

That’s really insightful.

Sometimes I feel like just watching Ramit’s approach to selling earn1k is as exciting as the content itself.

Three weeks? Holy cow. While i was impatient to read the next blog, it seems like it’s only been a week.

I’ve been both encouraged (because i’ve already done much of what you recommend to get started) and dismayed (to realize how long it’s taking me to do the other planning/marketing/customer development stuff that i keep promising myself i’ll do and that you keep telling everyone to get off our collective duffs and “just do it”.)
