Been watching Tom for the past week, tomorrow is when I start my cold outreach, stumble upon your channel some time ago(starts binge-watching)and you upload a video that I absolutely need! The universe is definitely working in my favour.
I'm an borderline itnermediate level copywriter and i'm literally just trying to find a better outreach method (mine works but takes too long lol). I'm coming back in a week's time and showing my results. Btw good video, very straight to the point no bs.
Good one brother I started using this method too since I realized I get to practice AND do outreach nice vid. Also i u dont mind what app u using with ur presentation?
Hey bro, I pitched with captions at that moment, but u can send any free value you want: emails, sales pages, scripts, youtube titles, captions, about me pages, etc...
Hey pol, how do you add that “free” part at your google docs? And how do you send 2 messages at the dms?. Thanks for the great content man, it’s always well explained and concise. Keep up the great work man, love the content 🥂
Great video. My question is if you sent the value on the first message and they didn’t see it, you’ll still be stuck in the request section. So how would your follow up help?
For the follow-up, try something like: If they haven’t seen it yet, send a quick “Did you get a chance to check this out?” or, if they have, ask “What do you think?” If they respond positively, you could follow up with something like, “I’d love to jump on a quick call to discuss some ideas I have for you/your business! When’s a good time, or here’s my Calendly link.” Using a voice note can also work well; it adds intrigue, and they’re more likely to open the DM that way.
What's going on man, quick question. What would you say is the best way to find these clients on IG, Email, upwork, etc. BTW I appreciate the value, I'm in the beginning stage of my copywriting journey and plan to start outreach soon! 😊
Hey, I recommend you find one creator on instagram and click the "suggested profiles button" and follow similar accounts from there. You can also stalk his followed. If none of that works, I recommend u use the tiktok algorithm to find clients and then outreach them on insta, since the insta search algorithm is pretty bad
Hey G. Thanks for this vid. I have a question tho This value upfront method is v popular, I mean people been doing it, and so I wonder why Tom came up with the Compliment one? He nowadays says to avoid sending free value upfront and to ask permission before sending. Personally, I've got a lot of replies & thanks yous by it but no success so far. Maybe the compliment one works well due to good social media etc? In any case, do share what your ratio of success has been with the both methods. Thanks a lot
Value Upfront works best cuz its direct, no games, trustable, and gives lots of value upfront. Compliment one used to work but its insanely overused rn so ppl don't fall for it as easily nowadays
@@PolWritesStuff I see. What if we sorta combine the two. Like start the msg with compliment and end it with value? We are a fan who also happens to be a professional that wants to help them.
@@tausif3k yes! u can sneak in a compliment if u want, they’ll actually like it if it’s genuine. It’s still the Value Upfront method, but with a compliment
Hey, great content, but i just have a question. How do you find the business to outreach to? Because i tried to use hashtag on instagram but it just doesn't give me any potential business. Thank you
follow up should be like: "did you see this" (if they haven't seen it) or "what do u think of this"... If they like it, And then you could say sth along the lines of "I'd love to hop on a quick call to discuss what I have in mind for you / your business, when are you free? / here's my Calendly link"... Sending that message in a voice note format also helps as it builds intrigue and they're more likely to open the DM that way
@@_ALICIA Exactly the issue is that ppl smell these things now so either the compliment is really personalized and makes sense or its an instant read for some ppl
@@ManveerSingh895 study the greats; literally write down word for word great copy pieces like the ones in swiped. co, and analyze why you thing they worked… and then apply those methods to ur copy
It's not wasted cuz you learn and get better... What actually IS wasting time is sending messages all day and compliments for 2 hours not getting any better at copywriting
But bro you gotta get out of the requests first to make sure that your prospect replies to his DMS to not waste your time,a lot of the times you go ahead and write them free value and they just don't see your message
Thats why I also recommend Email... Although free value is often enough curiosity to get them to read the thing. You may believe it or not but prospects usually see almost all DMs, so if they didn't respond is usually cuz ur copy wasn't that good yet
@PolWritesStuff bro they don't see it at all some ppl just don't open the dms, and with email it's not gonna work cuz i don't have a domain and Gmail account looks unprofessional.
This might be a fundamental misunderstanding, but are you actually MAKING the emails, ad, etc. in finished form or just like the script of it and where the parts of it should be? They never show an example of some copy they’ve sent or been paid for like do people really pay u just for tactical words in a google doc when they still have to make into a finished thing??
@@ChristianChirtovojo yes, they pay you for just the “tactical words”… Although they don’t. Copywriting is much more than some magic “words”. It’s 99% market analysis, studying the potential clients, their dreams, fears, desires, pain points, how they behave, what emotions should and should not be sparked in them, the order in which they should be sparked, etc. You need to understand writing is 1% of the equation and it’s a psychology game. There’s a LOT of work behind, and if someone doesn’t do anything of that, they understand nothing of copywriting and nothing of marketing per se. It’s kinda like programming, which is 99% thinking your brains off looking at a wall and 1% typing in the keyboard. And notice it can still be called “writing”, even if it’s such a small part of the process…
@@ChristianChirtovojo Also thats why they hire artists and graphic designers: to turn the copy into the finished product (it’s simply not the copywriter’s job)
Bro, copywriting is just like....10% actual writing. The majority of the crucial stuff is market research, competitor research, consumer psychology, analyzing trends, strategizing based on what media to use, etc. That's why the saying "Research is King, Copy is Queen" prevails because it's not the writing that sells...it's the thought process behind the writing that sells.

Thanks! My realest fan right here fr fr
Thank you!
nah, thank you for ur comment 👊🏼
banger vdo g, would like to know what was in that doc ? is it captions or script like how you do it ? make me clear G
Hey bro, I pitched with captions at that moment, but u can send any free value you want: emails, sales pages, scripts, youtube titles, captions, about me pages, etc...

You can send it all in the same message if I'm not mistaken, both the link and the message
Can you make a video on captions and plus how much are currently making??
Imma note that down since I've done a bunch of captions and I think I've kinda mastered them atp
@PolWritesStuff waiting for the video

@@NarvanaghClips Yes, but make sure to write a message right after the link (cool trick to send the google doc + a message at the same time) 👊🏼
Nice video bro , did u also use a script for this?
No brah this video was improvised I made the presentation to explain it to a follower who asked for help and thought why not make a video on it too
BRO WHAT APP ARE YOU USING FOR THESE NOTES?
@@gurleenkaur9304 OneNote
👏👏

@@ThashlynNarayanan Bro videos on how to write better copy are on the way! Noted 🫡

As many as you can
the trojan horse method, bro what a sick name
i feel like everyone is doing the compliment method though, and I get these kind of dms A LOT, and im like mmm your just tryna sell me lol
@@_ALICIA I came up with it the name randomly before recording the video 😭 I think it defines it perfectly

Bro shoot it over through my Instagram DMs and I'll review it if I can 👀
@PolWritesStuff alright

Ofc brother, thats who u wanna sell the message to, always the CEO
Hey do you mentor 1 on 1. 😭 I want that actually. A mentor. 😭😭😭 I literally need help with Copywriting.
@@ayesha_docx hey DM on instagram

But dont you think its a lot of time wasted on prospects thats not even gonna see our messages
It's not wasted cuz you learn and get better... What actually IS wasting time is sending messages all day and compliments for 2 hours not getting any better at copywriting
Also this method has a much higher response rate than the other ones cuz its free value, they can't say no to it
@@PolWritesStuff yeah compliment thing is mid ngl and love the vids g
@ thanks G really appreciate the support 🙌🏼🙏🏼
@@PolWritesStuff What to do if they just seen zone me and dont reply
