  • How to write cold emails that get you hired

    How to write cold emails that get you hired
    Oct 3 2024
    In this episode, we help you, freelancers, turn cold, impersonal emails into warm, effective messages that actually get responses. Learn how to make personal connections, add warmth, and create emails that feel like they’re coming from a friend. We also share a real-life example and give tips on how to follow up without being annoying.

    Key Takeaways:
    • Why Cold Emails Feel Cold:
      Cold emails are often robotic and get deleted quickly. Make them personal to get better responses.
    • Personal Connection is Key:
      Research the recipient’s LinkedIn or blog, and mention something specific about them. Whether it’s a project or a personal interest, make the email relatable and warm.
    • Warm-Up Formula:
      1. Personal touch: Mention something specific like a project they’re working on.
      2. Show how you can help: Focus on how you can benefit them.
      3. Friendly call-to-action: Suggest a casual, friendly chat.
    • Real-Life Example:
      Ludiah shares how she landed a meeting by referencing a CEO’s marathon and tying it into her offer of help. The personal touch made the difference.
    • Following Up:
      When following up, offer something useful like an article related to their industry instead of a simple "Just checking in" message.
    Your Assignment: Send one cold email this week, but make it warm with a personal touch. Add a friendly call-to-action, and see how it changes the response.

    Subscribe & Share: If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to hit subscribe and share it with someone who needs help warming up their cold emails.

    Catch you next time, and happy emailing!

  • Power of Referrals In Finding Clients

    Power of Referrals In Finding Clients
    Sep 25 2024
    In this episode, I talk about the power of referrals in finding new clients as a freelancer and why they’re the easiest way to get new clients. I emphasize how referrals build on trust, making them golden opportunities for freelancers.

    I also offer tips on how to ask for client referrals without sounding pushy and a personal story about how a casual "Zoom meeting" led me to a new virtual assistant client.

    And finally, a reminder to ask for client referrals regularly, not just when business is slow. The episode is packed with practical advice and a lighthearted touch, encouraging freelancers to make the most of their current client relationships.

    Show Notes:
    • [00:00] Intro:
      Welcome to the episode, where we explore why referrals should be your besties in freelancing.

    • The Power of Referrals:
      Referrals are like golden tickets—built on trust and often easier to secure than cold leads.

    • How to Ask for Referrals:
      A simple, no-pressure way to ask for a referral from a happy client.

    • Turning Referrals into Repeat Clients:
      Once you get a referral, treat the new client like royalty to keep the cycle going.

    • Personal Story

    • Don’t wait until you’re desperate for work to ask for referrals—plant those seeds early.
    • A final nudge to ask for that referral today, plus a cheeky callback to share the podcast with freelancing friends.
