Spammer turned influencer reveals secret to getting clients from your social media

Let me give you youngins a brief history lesson! 😀

Way back when Tom from MySpace was everybody’s friend and ol’ Zuck was “modeling” HarvardConnection, business peeps like you and I spent a lot of time and handwringing trying figure out how to use this shiny new object to to move units.

Get hired.

Sell stuff.

Kinda funny that many are still trying to figure it out.

Anyhoo, yours sneaky was no different. And, to my infamy, I became a quasi-spammer as a result. Truthfully, back then, the socials were so anti-business you didn’t have much choice. There were no business pages or ad platforms.

Business people were like the old dude crashing a high school party.

“Ew!”

Anyway, moral of the story is… I figured out a way to siphon potential clients off MySpace while flying under their moderation radar. Took it, systematized it and create a several-thousand-dollar-a-month revenue stream — based solely on MySpace traffic.

It was my first real online business.

Now, here’s the thing…

That same basic strategy is still what works for business people on social media — minus the spamming. A completely, ethical, honest and TOS-safe way to attract a large following of potential clients and create a consistent revenue stream from your social media.

It’s the same strategy used by Gary Vee.

I’ve seen the popular BossBabe account do it.

And numerous less-known freelancers, coaches and course creators.

And the biggest thing to know is… it’s NOT about what you post. It’s not about figuring out the exact perfect picture to take or caption to write, video to create… that’s gonna make you go “viral” and everybody love you. What you post is maybe 1/10 of what matters.

It’s also not just about commenting on other people’s stuff.

Again, part of it… but worthless without the rest.

It’s about a comprehensive approach to your social media account.

Leveraging all the tools each platform gives you *in a way* that makes people want to hire you. And because all these sites are so big, even just one platform can be all you need as a client source.

Especially potent if you combine it with my Upwork strategy for “juicing” their algorithm.

Anyway, take from all that what you will…

But, I lay out this strategy in my Social Media for Freelancers course if you want to learn it — which includes real-world examples from other influencers doing it right now.

Because the course is on Skillshare, you can get access essentially free. That’s because, as a teacher there, I can get you an exclusive 1-month free trial of the site (normal trial is just 7 days).

With that, you get full access to all 30,000+ course on the site.

And, if you cancel before the month is up, you never pay a penny.

Do with that info what you will, but you can use this link to get the trial: https://skl.sh/3bGXs4U. I also created a video explaining the Skillshare offer more here: https://johnmorrisonline.com/skillshare

Might make for a nice weekend training for you to implement next week.

Later,

John

P.S. Patrons, of course, already have access to the course here: https://myjohn.us/patreon

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
