Guess what I found in my Instagram inbox? 😮
A response from the proposal planner I reached out to on 25th June 2023! Yes, that was when I was planning to propose my GF.
And they decided to reply on 15th September 😅
Yeah, three months later – literally after I got engaged! 📆
This is a prime example of how NOT to run an online business.
This kind of delay doesn’t just mean losing out on a potential customer willing to spend a decent chunk of the amount, but it also tarnishes their reputation as a business 😴
Trust me, word spreads fast in this digital age, and people don’t forget shoddy service.
Most of the solopreneurs like you start online marketing of their side projects with social media 🐤
That’s where we connect with our audience, get leads, and build our brand’s exposure 📢
Don’t make the mistake of ignoring your social media inboxes.
✍ TODAY’S ACTION ITEM
✅ Be active and respond: Make sure you actively monitor inboxes. Prompt and professional responses go a long way in building trust and securing business.
✅ Consider using social media management tools: If you’re using too many social media platforms and it’s getting tough to manage, consider using a social media management tool.
I personally use SocialBee and Content Studio. They allow you to manage all your postings and messages in one place.
It’s the ultimate time-saver!
✔ WHAT I DID THIS WEEK
I got engaged, 💍😇
I can’t believe how successfully and perfectly the program was implemented. Our families are real project managers, I must say!
I returned to Mumbai on Wednesday 🚉
Since I returned, I have been just collecting our photos and videos. Shoutout to our photographer who did such an amazing job at capturing our moments 📸
On another note, your boy got famous last night! Popular YouTuber Shweta Arora published a video where she featured me.
She asked me some questions about freelancing and she used my answers in her video.
Watch her latest video by the name “EARN Money Online: ₹30,000/month | Side Income From Home for College Students & Freelancers” on her channel.
My LinkedIn inbox is full of DMs and requests today. It’s insane how one video can bring so many eyeballs 👀
🌐 AROUND THE WEB
If you ever want to capture full-paged screenshots, you must use Screenshot Guru.
It lets you screen-capture beautiful and high-resolution screenshot images of any web page on the Internet.
Some browsers can also do that but this tool just makes it beautiful 🙂
