I'm 21, a college student, and can't see myself actually working a normal job. I have never wanted to do college, I have just felt I had no choice. I am wanting to start SMMA and am trying to learn more about it. I'm gonna start looking for businesses I can offer a free trial to like you said to do in this video, because the lack of confidence in my ability to provide results is my main concern if someone is paying me.
Then become more confident, don't wait around for other people, Just Do It!

Did it work? Changing the strategy and all?
@rajdipdeka10k did it change my friend?
؟!!
i swear there was a problem i was facing not even related to this video, i watched it saw its principles and IT DIRECTLY CORRESPONDS TO THE SOLUTION TO MY PROBLEMS
which seems to be a harder job than i initially thought
haha love to hear it!
I appreciate your entire breakdown of this. It really is an initial hurdle and investment.
Hey Oliver, no problem. I'm glad you found the video useful. Is there anything else standing in your way to get started? Let me know,!
dude there's lots of value in this video, thank you so much...
Wow, I'm from Brazil and this cadrasto strategy you showed in the video is genius, as simple as it is. Very valuable content, and I really liked the strategy of getting the first client! Congratulations!
Glad you enjoyed it!
COMMENT BELOW: What questions do you have? Let's help you get your first deal! IF you want a step-by-step guide on how to start your SMMA - www.thesmmablueprint.com/
Just decided to give smma profession a go, thank god i came across this video because i was absolutely lost with niches. i'm thinking of running my free trial with my old boss who runs a small local cafe
Rock on! Glad that you found it valuable! 💎 That is a great place to start to get a bit of experience under your belt
How'd it go
This helped me have a better understanding, i have just emailed my first client who will hopefully get back to me. Hopefully i can start earning money by next year. Thank you.
This is exactly what I was looking for when I looked on youtube for how to get my first client.
Glad you found it valuable!
Finally, some REAL advice on this topic. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Super valuable video! I appreciate the real talk and actionable steps, it's honestly what sets you apart. 👊💯 Keep crushing it!
Hey I appreciate this a lot! Glad you're finding this style valuable!!!
Great Video! I think it would be interesting if you could talk about the content and creating content for the companies. Basically, you just show what your step-by-step guide to developing a content strategy is. In addition, it would be very valuable if you could give us some examples of what types of companies (e.g. automotive, restaurants or just services) you usually work with and what their problem is.
Definately gonna go offer free trials thanks for the video lots of value 🙏
You are the best I have seen by far. Thank you
Glad it helped
2:00 reach to exact point
Great video Derek, thanks for the valuable advice!
Hey no problem! Thanks for commenting and supporting the channel. Really means a lot to us. Hopefully this helps you along your journey my friend!
Wow this is good stuff. Im definitely using the free trial strategy. Thanks alot bro!
glad you found it valuable!
good video im a fan of the free trial to get started makes a lot of sense
Thanks Spencer, it’s really the best way to get experience quickly in this space when just starting out.
I’m 16 an a-level student that is watching every video that I can in the hopes that one video gives me the advice to go through. Im a usual introvert thaf has no confidence in speaking to people on the phone or on a zoom because I lack this self Belief
Thanks a lot ❤️🤓 all the best luck in your journey
Most welcome 😊
Thanks Derek i appreciate you so much!
Thank you! We appreciate you as well for your support here on the channel!!
First of all, great idea.. But how can I gain knowledge and experience with an ARBITRAGE AGENCY because a contractor will do the work of creating ads and develope my clients business??? It would mean a lot for me when youre answering :)
We teach both concepts in our program The SMMA Blueprint. The problem with going straight into arbitrage is that you are not educated yourself and it becomes very difficult to interview / hire / lead when you fundamentally don't understand what good performance looks like from your team members.
We recommend learning a bit of this yourself so that you can avoid costly mistakes when it comes to hiring mistakes that cost you what you pay the contractor who failed, the client that you churn as a result, and margin.
Blueprint of a good time😊
Hey man I really appreciate your video, but the thing is how do we reach out to clients? I have great communication skill and also got a nice portfolio from my network. But how do I exactly get clients outside? Email them? They never reply. Message in social media? They never reply either. Reach out to their physical business? I live in a poor country maximum of them doesn't even understand marketing or even if they do, they're never willing to pay to some online things cause online world is just a scam to them so they dont even focus on their social media. Working in my country isn't even a option. But how do I even reach out to foreign countries..
dude I literally needed this thank you so much!
Hey Ben, no problem! Glad this was helpful. Please let me know if you have any questions. We want to see you crush it this year!!
How'd it go
this not what I was looking for, but honestly the most helpful video I've ever came across

thank you so much man
Happy to help!
Appreciate the content, felt it was rly real and genuine 🙏🏼
So glad to hear it!
finally, a good explanation 😭
Glad it was helpful!
My biggest worry is, where should i get the content for the ad, like a video so that i can make an ad etc. Can someone save me on this wonder?

Update brother ?got a client
@@zarzisertaza4343 boom nice job!!! Excited for you 💯💯
No comments on the time duraton of the video
Nice video nice content watched to the end
glad you found it valuable!
I have a question, when starting do you need an account say like Facebook with followers and information on what you do? Or can you just reach out with them with no followers needed? Also if creating a website, what kind of information do you need with your website?
check out our video on building websites for your SMMA, will help you out a lot. no, you don't need any following on social media at all to get started in this business
my main question that i can’t find an answer to anywhere is, when i’m offering a service online how does that connect to a local business. like how does something i do online give them leads and traffic. like how do i target people in a certain area or give them in person leads when i’m online. idk if that makes sense
You can run paid ads for your clients. That way you can define the exact audience you place your ads in front of and ensure the traffic is qualifed that you're sending to either their website, or a funnel you create to capture the prospects information.
Hugely helpful, thank you
glad you found it valuable!
I m 20 year old college student wants to start web development agency i already have knowledge in the field and i am in contact with the people that are doing it . if anybody wants to team up most welcome 👍
I'll like to join
Should I niche down or do everything ?
To niche down is the overall goal, but don’t let that hold you back. In the beginning be opportunistic. Name your agency something general that will work with multiple niches, work with many different segments. See what you like and is most profitable for you and niche down from there. Too many people wait on the sideline for the perfect niche. Go out, get money, experience, and you’ll be in a much better position to fully niche down from there
Great video learned a lot!
Awesome, glad you got some value from this. It's really not a big hurdle to get your first SMMA client, if you follow this process. Getting that initial experience is super important to getting started. Let me know if you have any questions!
conclusion : get free trial for potential client ads campaign, let it 7 days, successful campaign, making sales
Then, they will ask to run d similar campaign for a month and you get paid.
Am i right?
Do you need a contract when you give them a free trial?
Great video 🔥I have 2 questions brother, how much should I pay a good media buyer and is there a formula you use to charge your client or you just have a set amount of price
Hey Zenzy, thank you for the support! Great question, media buyers will work in one of two ways, flat fees, or hourly rates. Typically I like to work with my media buyers on a fixed cost, so I know exactly what the profits will be per client. You can get some really good deals on talented media buyers on Upwork.com Also as far as how to charge your clients, I put together an in-depth video on this topic here: ua-cam.com/video/jthNkuNfocw/v-deo.html
I just watched your video and have a question regarding outreach. As I am still starting my minimum is to at least do 100 or more outreach a day if possible, the problem is it takes me how many days just to get to 100 and at this rate its gonna be nearly impossible to hit that minimum daily. How do I make my prospecting quicker and easier where I'm able to have a 100+ each day ready for outreach?
check out our getting clients playlist on the home page of our channel, many tactics on this. we also teach this in great detail at TheSMMABlueprint.com
Love your video. New sub❤
Hey thanks for subscribing and supporting the channel. It means everything to us. Feel free to ask questions and we'll support you how we can! Thanks again!
Do you sign a contract when you get a new client. How do you get the money from the company for ad spend?
they pay the ad platform directly
Good one !
When offering a free trial for lead generation do you pay for the clients advertising as well?
Good question - no, the client always pays for their own ad spend : )
Hey! Question. When doing ads for a company do you use their instagram or what? Do you need their sign in for it or how does it work if your making an add for their social media account
very helpful !
Glad to hear that!
thanks great tips.
Glad it was helpful!
If only you could see the way I’m looking at you 🤩
Im form Africa what shall I do to get a case study
did the second client approach you directly?
I am in the middle of smma startup and getting clients is the hardest part so far 😂
Hey I have a question! Since your doing ads for their social media do u have to ask them for their log in for social medias or how does it work getting ads up for them
@soundfather4602 so I run Facebook ads and use the business manager to do so, which means I have my own account they add me as a partner to their account and I have access to everything except credit card information
THANK YOU SO MUCH
No problem thank you for watching and supporting!
What if I didn't meet the client expectation,for e.g i didn't brought the number of customers for a dentist that he wanted, what do i tell him
Thank you!
cheers!
Veryy valuable advices
Glad you found it valuable!
I was looking for an answer to this question but couldn’t find it anywhere, how much should a client allocate for advertising budget per month? how to count?
get their max if anything
I want to start a SMMA soon but I’m not really sure how to narrow down the business owners that I contact via cold calling, is there any website that will narrow down the search engine when I’m looking for business owners in a specific niche?
yes, d7leadfinder is a great place to start
@@2GuysBuildaBiz Thank you!!!
If I told the client that my smma specializes in Facebook Google ads, how should I allocate the budget between Google and Facebook to give the client good results?
Hey great video. I have a qeustion tho, i know its a lot but to the point. 1. Should i do brand awarness or leads or both 2. How to know which a niche needs 3. Which would you recommend for car modification/ tuning
Hey thanks for supporting the channel here. So I can try to answer this. 1) Ideally if you have the budget I would do both, but If you're budget restricted and need to choose one, do lead gen. This will drive more measureable results for the client when you're trying to build trust in the early stages. 2) If they are willing and wanting to close customers over the phone, or simply enagage with leads you send them, then lead gen is a great option. Even if we higher appointment setters to assist with converting the leads into booked meetings/appointments, the client still needs to be willing to get involved to help close them as a customer. 3) For that niche I would first start with Google Ads, capturing people who are activily searching for vehicle mod shops.
@@2GuysBuildaBiz wow youre fast you earned yourself a follow
@@2GuysBuildaBiz so i should i do brand awarness if a) they have a high budget b) if theyre particularly need that. And for car modification i can just do lead gen is that right?
And to determine i need to talk to car shops and just ask them. Is that correct?
@@gurusclipsquotes5390 That's where I would start
Hey man i was just wondering what outreach methods you would recommend. Ive been sending emails with no luck
Try LinkedIn, DMs, or cold calling. Typically you’ll get the best results by combining two on the same account.
Thanks ❤
No problem! Glad this was useful!
we need a practical example
Found this video extremely helpful, however I was wondering if you could give me advice on the best way to outreach to potential clients? I'm not sure if sending out lots of emails every day is professional enough.
we have a ton of videos on this channel on outreach methods. i would def check those out as they will have much more detail than this youtube comment!
Thanks nice video
Thank you bro
Could I get my first client even if I lived in a third-world country and with no experience? I think the level of trust differs and usually gets harder with how far you are from the country you're getting clients from.
We've had many students of the smma blueprint do exactly this. I'd be lying if I said it was easy or just as difficult as targeting clients in your own country. You'll need to make them a strong offer in order to close these kind of deals and your ability to communicate well + your flexibility to work within their time zone will make a big difference.
@@2GuysBuildaBiz Thanks so much man!
When introducing a free trial to a new business, would you suggest on brand development or customer acquisition? Hope this makes sense
Hey great question, so from a service offering perspective you should offer lead generation services for the free trial offer. If you’re offer branding, it’s going to take too long to see the return on investment by the time the free trial is over
@@2GuysBuildaBiz That makes sense. Thank you!
@@mars8289 no problem!
@@2GuysBuildaBiz
Hey i’am new in this but i will hear you about what you mean about leas generation?
And the course you have can it also being used in Denmark, because i live her😁 i hope the questions make sens
Hey there, yes, we have a ton of students from all over Europe. The concepts are the exact same : ) As far as lead generation, this is a simple service model that enables you to run a simple ad to a lead capture form. We explain this in other videos on this channel as well as in great detail in the course at TheSMMABlueprint.com : )
Im 21 i am currently working in the hotel industry as a apprentice chef ive always wanted to break free from the job culture but its really hard working 12 hour shifts and then coming back to grind on my smma as i have limited time to gather info ,please help in trying to get a client ,maybe we could strike a deal for the transfer of information
How much can i ask them for the ad spend??
I have a question about the ads, so we go to the business and record and ad for them or do they ship out the products to you for recording the ads, or do they provide the ad for you so you can post it online?
Whichever method you decide on
Hey how, to build a great team and higher new people for smma
David recorded a video on this recently, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/lL_rb4I-qdM/v-deo.html
Great video! One question tho, how do i do a free trial for a business if i dont know how to run ads / the contract i have to hire to run them will cost me money? I currently don't have any money to fund such contractor. What do i do?
He gave u a heart but didn’t reply 🤔

Hey Derek! Do you feel like you need a website before getting your first client? Or is it fine to reach out to clients without?
Definitely needed, just as social media accounts
@@pigfanner2887 Thanks!
Agreed with the fella who already commented. With as easy as it is to create websites today, there is no reason not to have one
Hi David, I have a social media ad agency for roofers and I am currently outreaching via facebook messages and emails. Have had a little interest but not managed to secure my first client. i like the sound of the free giveaway campaign but how could I incorporate it for the roofing industry? or is there a better way for me to go about it?
Hello! Fellow marketer here. I would suggest instead of a free give away you could do a discount or a free addition of a certain service that usually costs extra. Maybe in the campaign the first 10 people who sign up get a discount and the rest can get 10-20% off a future service in the next 6 months.
Send me your email and how many leads do you get per month
I think the major roadblocks only exist in my head
It's great man
Cheers bro!
Hey, can i do this from India? I mean people from the States will trust me because of my ethnicity and accent!?
completely do able from india
if we are outsourcing our work then how can we offer free trial witgout lising money
Great question, most people who join The SMMA Blueprint think the same thing, but a huge value that we stand behind is you should be conducting the fufillemnt for the first few accounts yourself for a number of reasons. A) You'll maximize early profits, B) You will be able to make a freemium offer like this. C) When it comes time to outsource or insource, you'll know how to hire experts because you actually know what you're doing. D) Selling will become easier because you know what you're talking about on the fulfillment side. I could go on and on here, but save you're self a lot of time, heartache and embarrassment, by not outsourcing immediately before you have the fundamentals down. Keep watching our vids and other SMMA content to sharpen your skills or, check out thesmmablueprint.com to train up.
Highlevel is too expensive for me and i cant even afford 97 dollars every month. A beginner with no clients, still learning, so unwise as well to be buying highlevel anyway. Can someone please tell me alternate cheaper platforms?
what is a retainer?
Cool video Derek, But can we follow the same strategy if we want to reach out to a prospect outside of our home country through email or LinkedIn?
Yes, absolutely the beautiful thing about this business model is that it's not tied to being geographically present to where your clients are. There are obvious challenges around language that you should consider. If you cant communicate well with your clients, that will be a challenge no matter where you are from. We usually recommend start sourcing clients in your home country first and expand from there.
Hey man just a quick question, so i closed my first client 2 weeks ago but honestly getting my second client seems very hard. Im having no response 0 replies in my outreach what do you recommend i do. Thank you
Typically it comes down to your messaging and outreach approach. There are many things that most likely can be improved here. I would recommend checking out our video on this topic here: ua-cam.com/video/5v-0mMeJEPE/v-deo.html
can you tell me how much your first client pay? if u dont mind to tell of course for my personal reference
Can anyone help me with at the who will pay the ads spend client or me ?
Client always pays ad spend. we have a video on this topic here: ua-cam.com/video/OId-Z5ol7fM/v-deo.html
Great video with great information, if anyone wants to try and do this with me just let me know because I need some help. I'm doing my own research as well, trying to gain more information on this.
I have a question how do I deliver the service, for example for a hair salon do I go there and film there ads to run on Facebook.
You can use images of their store, the inside or stock imagery to garner attention. The important part is the audience and the targeting. The creative is obviously very important too but make sure you get in front of the right people and give them a reason to click
hello i had a question i started an agency without a website and business email just normal stuff that u can get for free and i msg 10 business per day i am working in the fitness niche but no luck none of them are replying and i cant do ur great idea becasue the country i live most people dont know what ssma is and wont pay me even if do for free please help me get my 1st client or get started
great video tho!

Hey, I have just started a SMMA, I’ve already hired a contractor I’ve already setup everything, I’m in the outreach phase, and I’ve been doing it for about 2 weeks now, but I am having problems with instagram DM’s and I can’t find anything online that shows how to fix it. Can you help me?
Hey Kash, thanks for checking out the video. I'm assuming you're hitting spam restrictions on IG due to sending too many copy/paste messages too quickly. A great way to combat this is have a general framework of your DM message that you can copy/paste, but make sure to personalize each note slightly. Otherwise if just a few messages in a row are completely copy/paste word for work, Instagram will flag you pretty quick. Additionally you should diversify your outreach and not just rely on one source. Try sending messages on other platforms like linkedin of direct email as well. Lastly always follow up on your unanswered messages, thats where the gold is.
Hii
@kashbronko how you hired clint
Please reply
Hey, I have a question about this can I offer them more services like web design? Please tell and how do I charge them monthly like only for advertising?
Absolutely you can do this. We personally moved away from offering web design because it was a long process, and only a 1 time fee. We were able to scale much faster and more efficiently just offering lead gen and building landing pages for them through high-level.
How can i do a free trial , if i need money to run facebook ads?
They give you a small amount of ad spend to use for the campaign, you do not pay for their ad spend
how can i get the list of clients
