If you have ever faced rejections from projects then this is for you.

First of all, it's funny that what I'll be showing you guys here today was what I learnt when I was still only 16yrs.

And I asked Ai this and they couldn't even give me this answers.

Some things just come naturally from personal experiences.

Well this one is from Dan loks personal experience.

I've always been one that's eager to learn so I used to watch marketing videos from Dan Lok on YouTube way back then and make notes about everything he taught.

I once compiled them into a PDF too which I still have and i checked them today to actually remember exactly what to write.

I also found two other things I feel everyone here needs to learn too

So imagine what I knew when I was 16 coming into play now that I'm in web3.

𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐭'𝐬 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬;

Have you've ever sent a project a DM, your resume, or your POW and they promised to get back to you but didn't?

Well I can't relate cause 90% of times I always seal a deal on the first meet.

How do I achieve this?

Walk with me.

When a project or employer asks to get back to you, most times they never do get back to you because maybe they don’t see your proposal as good enough.

They just want to politely turn you down.

Its never nice to hear that from a project .

Case study;

Someone Dm'ed me yesterday with this issue of we'll get back to you later from a project after sending them his POW.

Guess what, his reply to them was "Okay".

That was very wrong from him

So here are things you can do or say when a project asks to get back to you.

First and most importantly;

Always be upfront and direct with what you say to them.

Tell them that whenever you hear the ‘ill get back to you’ word, you never hear from the projects again, and then ask this question.

What would it take for you project and I to seal this deal today?.

That way you’ll get to hear from them what they actually need or want from you so you can work on improving your offer.

Secondly, you can ask this questions;

➫ Is it the term?
➫ The price?
➫ The money?
➫ Your budget?
➫ Or is my proposal not good enough?
➫ what part of the deal don’t you like?

That way the client states the problem and you work towards giving them their needs.

When you apply this, 90% of the time they see your willingness to improve and to actually work for them and this helps you secure the job as you'll be given a chance to prove yourself.

I know this helped.

Oya say thank you.

I'll be giving more alphas like this on a daily basis from now.

I'll be talking about AIDA tomorrow.

You'll find out what it means in due time.

Is there really a perfect Cold DM.?

I've been getting a lot of DM's about the perfect approach to use while reaching out to projects.

Well personally, I don't think there's a perfect approach and any approach might probably work, but here's something that has worked for me overtime and something you should really try inoculating into your Cold DM's.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗜𝗗𝗔 𝗔𝗣𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗔𝗖𝗛

Aida is an approach that you are going to see everywhere once you master it because it is an approach that makes projects want to take action 🥂

It is extremely powerful at making projects take action or at least reply.

𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐀 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫;

➠ Attention (usually your headline)
➠ Interest (why should the project should be interested)
➠ Desire (have the project imagine the benefit of having you)
➠ Action (tell your project exactly what to do)

𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: Capture the Project's attention immediately.

𝐇𝐨𝐰: Start with a compelling subject line or opening sentence.

Use the Project's name and mention something specific and relevant to them.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭

𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: Build their interest in what you have to say.

𝐇𝐨𝐰: Highlight the benefits of of having, relate it to their needs or problems, and provide interesting facts or figures.

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞

𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: Create a desire for the project to learn more or get involved.

𝐇𝐨𝐰: Explain how you can solve their problem, meet their needs, or improve their situation.

N/B: would be better to use testimonials, success stories, or specific examples.

𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: Encourage them to take the next step.

𝐇𝐨𝐰: End with a clear and direct call to action.
Make it easy for them to respond or take the desired action, whether it's scheduling a meeting, signing up, or replying to your message.

𝐄𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐃𝐌 𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐈𝐃𝐀 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚 𝐑𝐖𝐀 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐫:

𝐀𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Hi [Project's Name], I’m impressed by your projects RWA’s innovative approach to asset tokenization.

𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭:

As a writer with experience in blockchain and finance, I’ve written for [Publications/Project Name] and driven strong engagement.

𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞:

I can create compelling content to highlight RWA’s impact and success stories, boosting your project's visibility.

𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Can we schedule a quick call this week to discuss how I can help? Looking forward to your response!

This is basic but maintains the core elements of the AIDA model while being brief and to the point.

By following the AIDA approach, you can craft a persuasive and structured DM that increases the likelihood of positive responses.

When your Cold DM is simple and contains all four requirements, you should be sure that you have a 90% chance of getting a reply.

So with this;

How would you craft your own Cold DM.??

Finally, there's so much more alpha from where this came from.

In this space, a lot of people make money and eventually loose everything.

This is because it's not just about making the money, it's about finding the perfect balance between spending and investing for more returns.

My solution to this is 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄

So let's talk about the wealth triangle.

(Before you start, make sure you've turned on Notifications to my post cause I post alphas like this Daily).

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐀𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐄

There are three money principles you need to know not only to get rich but to stay rich

To know these principles you need to master the wealth triangle

The wealth triangle has three strongholds

➩ A High income skill
➩ A Scable business
➩ A High return investment

Let's take them one by one.

➠ 𝐀 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐥𝐥

A high income skill is a skill that has the potention to make you over a hundred thousand dollar a year (that was the best way I could explain lol 😂).

That way you are selling your time for money.

The high income skill gives you stable income and wealth.

It prides that stabling needed in your wealth triangle.

There are already so many high income skills in web3 so choose a niche and make the best of it.

Next is;

➩ 𝐀 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬

A scalable business is a business which you can grow without having a lot of people or building lots of infrastructures.

For example;

A restaurant is not a scalable business because to open it you have to build infrastructures and employ lots of workers.

Examples of scale businesses are;

➠ E commerce
➠ Fitness centres or Gym houses
➠ Saloon
➠ A clothing store.

The scalable business therefore provides you with steady cash flow

Lastly;

𝐀 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧 𝐢𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭

A high return investment is an investment that will provide you a 10% profit return or more every single year.

You invest a lot of money into it so the returns yearly are sizeable.

It also helps you build your network

Examples of a high return investment.

☯ Real estate investment
☯ Buying cooperate stocks and bonds
☯ Treasury bills

So let's rephrase;

A High income skill involves you making money, the second involves people making you money while the last is your money making you more money.

If you follow this simple 3 step path I just laid out for you’re you'll be able to grow your income quite quickly.

You'll dramatically accelerate the process of building true and long term lasting wealth

By sharing this model with you, I hope to provide you with a practical course of action when you start earning from your high income skill in web3.

Like and comment and share so others can see this.

Someone might need this on your TL.

GETTING INTO WEB3 AS A JOB HUNTER IS HARD!

But only if you don't know the skills to take hold of.

The idea that “there are no jobs in web3 except trading and airdrops” is fallacy.

Web3 offers a lot of roles that require both hard and soft skills.

What are these skills?

Struggling to land and keep a job?

Here are 10 psychological tips that will revolutionize your job hunting game (Part 2)

The law of contrast is a must read ‼️

As a job hunter, I've always been the type not to focus on price but the value I can bring to the team ↓

This is majorly why I've been successful and get gigs so easily.

I'm about to share my blueprint with y'all.

So read on... ↓

Emphasizing value over price when seeking jobs can significantly enhance your chances of sealing that gig.

Making the founder understand that you're good at what you do and that it would be a steal to have you eventually gets you the gig.

A lot of jobbers focus on the price and not the value they bring to the team.

Founders already have a lot on their plate.

They receive 100's of DM's from people claiming to do exactly what you claim to do so how exactly do you stand out.?

𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮..

You stand out by offering so much value, they have no choice but to make you part of the team.

In the graphics is a practical example of the results of offering value.

I spoke with this founder yesterday and one of my students was with me obviously..

I never mentioned or talked about price while discussing with the founder, I just kept dishing out value upon value on how I can help his start up

After offering value → he eventually brought up price by himself

He asked my price so he'd compensate me already.

(Check the text in the graphics below ↓)

Why do you think he asked so early...

Because he doesn't want to loose me to the opposition and feel like having me on his team will do his startup great good.

So now the question is, how do you offer value;

𝘽𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜

× Know the team

× Find a problem

× Draft out practical solutions

× Pitch like no one else does

It's as simple as that....

Apply this four things and watch your hunting game change.

𝘽𝙤𝙣𝙪𝙨 𝙩𝙞𝙥 ↓

What to include to make your pitch better ;

× Show that you understand the founders goals

× Identify pain points

× Highlight your unique skills and expertise

× Showcase other relevant expertise

× Demonstrate impact (Quantify your impact, Use metrics and numbers)

× Show them long term benefits

× Negotiate smartly

So that's it for today....

I hope you learnt a thing or two.

If you did you're destined for greatness

↬𝐖𝐞𝐛𝟑 𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐧𝐨 𝐛𝐞 "𝐜𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐡𝐨 "

Show workings 🤝

Founders and developers love nothing more than implementation and action.

So while hunting for a job, saying what you can offer to a project does not cut it most times.

You have to actually show and tell them "𝙃𝙤𝙬 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨".

→Be 𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 and not 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥

Applying the "𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭" and "𝐡𝐨𝐰" effectively can significantly enhance your chances of landing your desired job.

𝙁𝙤𝙧 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙭𝙩 ↓

☯ 𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏 is what value you can offer

☯ 𝙃𝙤𝙬 is how you plan to offer that value

→𝙋𝙎: Must be practical

So here's a scenario ↓

You're applying for a marketing strategist position to a web3 project

⋗ 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐕𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

→𝙒𝙃𝘼𝙏:

I have a proven track record of increasing user engagement and acquisition through targeted digital marketing strategies.

In my previous role at (A formal project), I led a campaign that increased user engagement by 40% in six months.

You can bluff if you don't have proof

Read this thread if you don't know how what bluffing is...

x.com/Ernestofweb3/s…

→ 𝙃𝙤𝙬:

I plan to achieve similar results for your project by implementing a tailored content calender and marketing strategy that includes social media campaigns, influencer partnerships, and content marketing.

By leveraging data analytics, I will continuously optimize these strategies to ensure maximum impact.

⋗ 𝐁𝐨𝐧𝐮𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭

You can also create a detailed Action Plan

By this I mean a Step-by-Step Plan:

(Using the earlier example above it can go like this)

☯ 𝐀𝐮𝐝𝐢𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬:

Conduct a thorough audit of the current marketing efforts to identify gaps and opportunities.

☯ 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:

Create a comprehensive marketing plan tailored to the projects target audience, focusing on the most effective apps.

☯ 𝐄𝐱𝐞𝐜𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Launch targeted campaigns with clear KPIs and timelines.

☯ 𝐎𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐳𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧:

Use data-driven insights to refine and improve the campaigns continuously.

→𝐀𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐞𝐱𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞:

I noticed your Twitter engagement could be higher.

I would propose a weekly Twitter Space hosted by industry influencers to discuss the latest trends in Web3, which can drive more traffic to your platform and increase user engagement.

By clearly defining "𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭" you can offer and "𝐡𝐨𝐰" you plan to achieve it, you not only demonstrate your capabilities but also show your proactive and practical approach in alignment with the company's goals.

So that's it for today....

I hope you learnt a thing or two.
