What did you buy for Black Friday? 🛍️🖤

This year I decided to invest in three places.

Number one and two are about education and number three is about automation.

So…

Copywriting is a must-have skill and I am continuously educating myself and improving my skills. So…

No1: The 2 Hour Writter by Dan Koe 📝✍️

LinkedIn is the best social media platform for professional networking and growth and it is crucial for any business success so…

No2: The LinkedIn OS by Justin Welsh 🌐💼

At the same time, I always want to invest in automation tools, any tool that can do my life easier and help me be more productive. Today’s choice has to do with automating Pinterest creation (very important traffic source for any creative business, especially the ones with products, newsletter and blogs). So…

No3: The Pin Generator by AppSumo. 📍🤖

Cheeky No4: 3 new domain names from Namecheap so I can increase my monthly cold outreach capacity by at least 3(domains)x3(email accounts)x30(emails per day)x30 days = 8100+ more emails monthly. 💻📈

Have you invested in yourself and your business this Black Friday, and if so, what were your choices? 🤔💡

How to target Facebook group members with ads 🎯👥

If you want to advertise your products to Facebook group members, there is a way. 🛒📣

1. Become part of the group 👥🤝

2. Post a series of helpful and engaging videos in the group so your pixel can capture everyone who watched even 3 seconds. 📹👀

3. Now, you can target these people (video viewers) with your ads. 🎯📊

Is it a hack? Probably. 🤔🔧

Does it work? Yes, but only if you capture a big enough audience that you can retarget against. ✅📈

Can it work better? Sure. 💡🚀

Get into all the Facebook groups your customer avatar lives in and post engaging videos to all of them. 🌐📹

Now, you can use all of the video viewers to create a custom audience that you can use to advertise your products and services! 🎉🛍️

I hope this helps your business grow, give it a try and let me know how it worked for you! 🌱📊

See you tomorrow! 👋🌟

No tips or lessons learned. Today, I will discuss wellness and well-being when running your own business. 🌿🧘‍♂️

2013 was the year that I broke my knee (March 2013), and a few months later, I took the plane to Cardiff, UK, leaving everyone I loved behind. ✈️💔

Slowly I recovered and got back into the gym and mostly running (trying to fight depression, but this is another story for another day). 🏃‍♂️🏋️‍♂️

I started running 5K, 10K and two half marathons from 2017 to 2019. 🏅👟

Until November 2019, I tried bouldering, and I destroyed my meniscus once more. 🧗‍♂️🚑

This injury, combined with parenthood and COVID-19, brought my weight to an all-time high and my fitness and confidence levels to an all-time low. ⚖️😞

Every time I had to decide between exercising or sitting on the couch, I was always choosing the couch. 🛋️🚫

Whenever I had to decide between eating a normal portion or binge eating… Well, you can understand what I chose… 🍔🤷‍♂️

I have been doing therapy sessions 2-3 times per week for the past five years (trying to get out of depression, remember?) 💬🛋️

Last month, I decided that enough is enough and that I must take care of my physical health, too. 🚀💪

So, I started to do PT sessions with a fantastic trainer here in Cardiff and I am more mindful of my portions. 🏋️‍♂️🍏

And I have already started seeing the benefits of how I am daily. 🌟📈

So why today’s video? 🎥❓

I implore you to care for your mental and physical health, whether running your own business or working as an employee. 🙏❤️

OK, I got it out of my system and can now rest! 🛌🎵

I wrote this text while listening to my favourite Guns N Roses: Outta Get Me! 🎶🎸

Be well, my friends, and see you tomorrow! 👋💕

9 common mistakes I found in e-commerce websites after performing 7 website audits. 🔍💻

1. Reduce the size of your website images and consider changing the format from jpeg to webp. 🖼️🔽

2. Improve the contrast between the background and the foreground so your website can be accessible to more people. ⚫⚪👀

3. Add meta descriptions and alt tags to all your images, buttons, and links. 🏷️🖱️

4. If you have a newsletter popup, do not show it immediately after someone visits your website. A popup must appear only once, ideally on exit intent. If you do not have a popup, consider having one. 📧❌➕

5. The Call To Action buttons must contrast the background and quickly pop up for the visitor. 🆘🎨

6. Add keyword-rich text to your product and collection pages. It will dramatically help your website’s SEO 🗝️📃

7. Add reviews on the product pages and incentivise your customers to leave a review. 🌟👥

8. Add pre-purchase and post-purchase upsells and cross-sells 🛒🔄

9. Add social proof banners on your homepage, collection pages and product pages. 📢🛍️

Are you guilty of these mistakes? 🤔❌

If you are an e-commerce website owner, fix these 9 common mistakes and help your business grow. 🛠️📈

See you tomorrow. 👋🌟

Stop trying to get viral on social media if you don’t have a following. It simply won’t work 99.9% of the time. 🛑📉

Do this instead:

1. Follow 10-15 accounts in your niche with a big following. 🔍👥

2. Turn on the notifications so you can get notified every time they post, the moment they do. 🔔✨

3. Be the first to watch their content, like it and comment, add value, be funny, controversial, or whatever you like. 👀💬

This way, you use their big platform/community to be seen and grow your reach overnight. 🌟📈

Do it consistently, and you will be recognised by yourself and your followers. 💪👀

Optimise your profile picture, banners, and bio, and you will start getting followers and website visitors. 🖼️🔧

Do it for a long time and you will start getting business, too. 🕒💼

Oh, by the way, this works with every social media platform. Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, TikTok etc. 🌐👍

Yes, I know it takes time, but try to go viral and see how long it takes. ⏳🚀

But wait, does this mean I do not need to post?

I didn’t say that, you keep posting—every day. 📆📤

Do both and you will win. 🏆💡

How much does cold email outreach cost for 5K to 10K monthly emails? 💸📧

Yesterday, I did research on every tool that there is available to help anyone who wants to do cold outreach through automation. 🔍🛠️

What you need is:

- Domains 🌐

- 2-3 email accounts per domain 📬

- Email automation software 🤖

- Various email scraping tools 🗃️

The cost per domain would be less than £10 per year (less than £1 per month). 💷📉

At the same time, 3 email accounts (per domain) should not cost more than £10 per month. 📆💰

The best email automation for cold outreach costs around £65 per month on a month-to-month basis (cheaper if you pay the whole year upfront). 💳👍

The various email scraping tools would cost around $30 to £70 per month and give you up to 10K emails monthly. 📊📈

If you want more emails, there are enterprise solutions that cost more but can give you way more emails. 🏭📤

This all adds up to £250 up to £270 per month. 🧮💷

Yearly cost? Less than £3000. 🗓️💸

Is it too expensive?

I believe not. 🚫💭

Because with this yearly investment, you can send out around 60K to 120K cold emails throughout the year. 📅🚀

With basic customer avatar and niche research, good copywriting and marketing skills, you can have a money printing machine setup once working for you. 🕵️‍♂️✍️🏧

Are you doing cold email outreach for your business? 🤔🏢

Let’s discuss what tools you are using, how much they cost, and what results you see! 💬👀
