Sell Yourself Online: The Blueprint
Without clients, you have no business. In this course, you’ll get step-by-step instruction and guidance on how to setup a sales and marketing system that works on your behalf to attract high-quality
Tired of crappy job board clients and waiting around for referrals?
Most freelancers are reactive, meaning they wait for work to come to them.
They wait for someone to realize they need a new website, a new app, or someone to help manage their ads, and then they seek out someone like you.
The problem is that equation is entirely out of your control…
Will someone come knocking on your door this month? Who knows.
And when we have no idea where our next project is coming from, we end up making concessions so we can keep the lights on. Maybe we scrape the bottom of the barrel of Craigslist. Or we end up accepting a ridiculously low rate just so we have something to keep us busy.
You need a system that proactively generates work for you – without you needing to stay on top of it!
This probably sounds like a pipe dream.
Automatically find clients…?
Without needing to network or any of the usual lead generation advice…?
Yeah, right.
There are so many companies you could help, but if you’re waiting for them to:
Realize that they have a problem
Realize this problem can be solved
Realize that someone like you can solve it
Search around and find your contact form
…then you’re missing out on a lot of companies that you could really help.
The system is fantastic to get clients and grow your network in a very organic way without being spammy. I know my business is going to change for the better if I do the work and step a little out of my comfort zone
Sergio Romero, Marketer
But what if you had an automated system that met companies right where they are now – before they know they need someone like you – and, over time, educated them towards realizing that they need someone like you?
In this course, I apply everything I learned in growing an agency that brought in over $2 million a year and kept 11 of us fed. My agency couldn’t afford to “hope and pray” that we’d have enough work to keep us afloat. (Our payroll was $100k+ a month!)
This course is also the by-product of over eight years of experience in helping hundreds of freelancers and agencies take ownership over how they get work.
I’ve also leveraged everything I’ve learned in building large audiences at scale online, and apply these strategies and tactics to getting high-value consulting clients.
This course is unlike anything you’ve come across.
It’s not simply a course on building on audience or fusing together a bunch of one-off tactics that kinda sorta might help you find clients who are looking for people like you.
Instead, it’s a framework for figuring out a compelling value proposition, and building out automated systems that meet people where they are right now and – over time, and only when they’re ready – pitches them on working with you.
The result?
A steady and consistent stream of project leads.
An audience who respects and trusts your abilities to help businesses grow, and is your secret weapon in referring you to their peers.
But most importantly, the peace of mind that comes with knowing that you have a stable business with clients lined up, ready to work with you when you have the bandwidth.
This course presents a brilliant approach. It allowed me to maintain “who” I am while positioning “what” I do to different market segments or verticals. I have taken dozens of online programs, but this is the most comfortable approach to date. I didn’t have to totally revamp my website, my copy, etc. I just focused my strengths toward a specific vertical. It also “feels” lower risk, i.e. if it doesn’t work, I just reposition the offer RATHER THAN reposition “me.”

What’s Inside
This course is composed of 62 lessons (over 6 hours of HD material) that walk you through, step-by-step, creating assets that generate you leads. You won’t just learn in this course – at the end of it, you’ll have automated systems, a service offering sales page, and other tools that help you attract and convert high-quality clients.
Course Overview
In the first module, I overview the System and ensure that you and I are on the same page. I’ve also included reference material that you’ll use as you move through the course.

Your Positioning Statement
What are you offering and why should people care? Rather than pigeon hole yourself into a single specialization, we’re going to position your funnel – and not your business.
In this module, I work with you to create the end goal: what are you offering, and why should a client care?

Writing Your Internal Manifesto
Once you’ve researched a basic statement, we’re going to turn it into a meaty Internal Manifesto that you use to pin down every aspect of the system we’ll be creating.
We’re also going to get your Manifesto in front of the right people – ideally scoring a first client or two in the process.

Your manifesto is great, but it’s for your eyes only.
We’re going to comb through the data you’ve been collecting when validating your Manifesto, and normalizing everything you’ve captured and turning it into something that you can actually put in front of prospective clients.

Now that you’ve created your marketable document, it’s time to show it off to the world – or at least the people who make it through the funnel we’re about to create together!
You’ll learn how to design and write your Service Offering, along with how to craft the perfect call-to-action that leads people to take that first step of hiring you.

Creating A Content Arsenal
When someone first comes across you, they’re probably not ready to commit to meeting with you, let alone hiring you. This is the big mistake a lot of freelancers make.
Here we’ll talk about the role of content: what to create, what it’s “job” is, and how to get people who consume your free content to become a lead.

Writing Great and Engaging Content
Sources of Inspiration
Forming Habits
Shipping Your Freebie Offering
Before your leads are brought to your Service Offering, we’re first going to educate them about their problems and help them understand exactly how to solve them.
In this module, I’m going to help you write and build a start-to-finish automated system that nurtures leads and prepares them to be your next client.

Filling Your Pipeline
If a tree falls in a forest, does anyone hear it?
And if you create some free content and put it on your website, will anyone ever see it?
This module is all about getting the right people to discover you, and to keep the traffic coming. With each channel, we’re going to get people not to find your service and hopefully hire you – but rather, to self-select to take that next step to learn from you.
After you’ve educated a lead, they’ll be automatically pitched on your Service Offering, effectively automating your project requests and consultation meetings.

The majority of leads who move through your automated funnel won’t be ready to work with you right away.
However, these leads become a part of your larger audience. In this module, you’ll learn how to keep your leads engaged over time, turning them into future clients and/or getting them to refer work to you.

Now your system is complete. You have a number of channels that are consistently sending the right people to you, and your content arsenal is converting them into leads.
From there, these leads are being educated about why they need to hire a company like yours, and you’re convincing them that you’re the best for the job.
The final module is all about how to analyze, experiment with, and quantify the value of your entire system. This will give you the data you need to scale up additional funnels, and throw more fuel on the fire for the channels that are sending you the best, highest-value clients.
