I often receive DMs from people asking me how I’d start over or what advice I’d give to beginners who are starting their journey with SMMA.
I’ve thought about this for a long time. There’s a lot of advice I would give if I was to go back in time to 18 year old Charlie, but there’s one idea I had that is so contradictory, idiosyncratic & weird that I couldn’t help but make a video on.
This video explains one thing I’d do if I was starting over, as someone who’s built a $100k/mo agency & a $200k/mo coaching business.
I hope you find today’s video helpful. If you do, consider subscribing :)
Thanks,
Charlie

Man, you're giving dangerously good advice. It's simple logical stuff and I'm doing it right now only with full time job. That way if I spend 2-3 hours on the business I will be forced to do only the essential stuff and think like entrepreneur.
Seems to me like you're the only one of the big guys who isn't full of shit and who's advice isn't tailored to coaches who coach coaches.
Tou also treat it like a real business and not like get rich quick scheme. Which in my opinion SMMA was a few years ago and so many coaches still portray it like that to sell their courses.
This whole lesson incredibly resonates with me. I am finishing my Economics degree this year and I have a job as well that pays good money for the position I am in. With that said I have a decent amount of capital to work with, but I didn’t feel like I had much time to get things going yet. I have prepared scripts and all that good stuff, but I didn’t feel like I could get around to it as I go to school/work during all business hours. I think this idea can help me get things going during the hours I am not available. Good content and ideas as always. You’re the man Charlie😉
Refreshing answer. Having some level of security means you'll make more rationale, long-term decisions AND you'll come across as less desperate on calls because you have an abundance of them & have some cash flow coming in through the part-time job! And you've identified an easy, low-risk way to leverage money to reduce the necessary time input! Good job!
This is exactly what I’m currently doing and now I feel reassured that I’m moving the needle forward. Nice one as always Charlie.
Yo
Can you help me please
You are so smart man
Iteration is the path to success
The problem is that in my country I can get a part time job for 2.50$/h so it would be the opposite of buying hours...
I was actually thinking similar to what you're saying but, to offer clients to work for free so i can test offers on behalf of their business, find some offers that work and then scale with those offers that have been proven to work
Hey Charlie can you make a video on what's the best service to deliver for clients?
Outreach is important but it's pointless if you have no clue how to deliver results which is where most people are stuck.
it varies per niche, research what ads platform is successful for your industry and see where the money is
This is bang on advice.
Lol as soon as I watched this I went and applied for a job and got it ahaha. I finished a client project and it’s been a bitch trying to find clients. Thanks man good content lol
would be nice if you could make a video on a SAAs agency vs a lead gen agency and you're thoughts on it? would be interesting to hear
Quick question:
Would you give these VA’s your accountant to do these cold outreaches or get the to provide people with a link to where they can contact you directly?
1:11 120$ a week wow. In India if you work 10 hours a day in a month with no weekends. You rarely even make $ 120 a month.
Another great video Charlie! When split-testing cold outreach, how do you know that you have tested each variable enough?
Love this!
Do you give them your e-mail account to do the different types of outreaches?
Amazin content my man🚀! I im currently in the process of starting my own agency. what i have seen now is ,that many people are servicing the US / Canada Market from europe. Im in Germany would you suggest me doing the same Charlie or should I concentrate on the german speaking market?
kommt drauf an, mit welcher Niche du arbeitest. Mit Software Unternehmen zB würde ich international arbeiten. ZB Kampfschulen könnte man auch gut in DE oder DACH machen.
Charlie Morgan.... Morgan Stanley.....
what about working as a media buyer getting experience in a particular nich in order to build a strong offer with a risk reversal aspect to it for our own futur agency
typical way for most successful agency owners. go for it
Best on this platform
I still don't understand how it'd be possible to make it effective. I mean an email needs to be warmed up before sending messages, otherwise one would burn it swiftly. How can you hire people for hours if the amount of emails to be sent from each domain is pretty low? Assuming you start over, you wouldn't have those emails warmed up for a very long time. Correct me if I'm wrong but what you're talking about here doesn't sound feasible
Great advice
Where do you find these VA:s?
But a good point, never thought about it tbh.
Now i dont run a SMMA business but something similar and i absolutely hate cold calling , aswell as cold email, i used to design good looking emails but never got any response.
Will prob try out your strategy!
Btw which niche & outreach platform you'd choose if you're starting from scratch?
legend.
How many emails would you send and what offer would it be if u were doing outreach for E-commerce and how would you productize the service
It would be a great idea if i could find a part-time job paying more than 4$ an hour in my country.
Great vid
Sounds great :) capital is always a great way to scale the work you actually want to do. The problem I have right now is emails scrapin. When I use services like Outscraper I get 1/3 or useless email addresses. So when I get 3k emails I need to scan through all of them to kick out useless ones. Then again to pick up names from companies to personalise my emails. Then scan websites and fb pages in search of other names. It takes hours and hours. Manual scraping is not better - searching for 2k prospects would take me forever. Any idea how to make it easier? I'm focusing on Polish market of beauty and wellness right now, as I know it the best but I know I'll find no one on fiver to scrape it for me ;)
I use a linkedin email scraper if ur interested
How did you get the scar on your face? Looks badass
Can you leverage third world VAs for looms? Would you expect the drop in booking rates to be too signifcant?
how to find people to work for you?
bro forgets that there is living costs
When I make cold calls, will people care about my English?
I think it's a mistake to send out same automated messages to different people. I think every email should be unique and it should relate to every potential client.
Where can I learn this
If I already have some cashflow how do I spend it efficiently towards my smma
automation
where do you think is the best place to hire virtual assistance
Hey, I'm a virtual assistant. You'll probably find virtual assistants on divert or upwork if you haven't found one already.
The best place to hire VAs?
what about full-time job
Where can you find that sort of labour ?
Hi Paul! I'm a virtual assistant. You can find virtual assistants on divert or upwork if you still need them.
You talk about client acquisition this cold calling that, but all this testing of scripts and shit is useless if you do not have a good service!!! You need a working service that proves to your clients that you can help them in their sales and appointments. Cold calling, cold emailing is u s e l e s s if you do not have a working service!!! Focus on your service it is the sole most important thing
i agree but you can't focus on your service that much if you dont have a client to do the service for in the first place.
@@bnb_daddy yup. that’s why you should offer a pay per lead offer without a retainer to your first client. that way, if it does not work out, you can perfect your service in a different way until it does work. only then does it make sense to focus all of your energy on client outreach
@@joelioes3550 yeah i have a guarantee. and i think everyone should have that nowadays
@@bnb_daddy that’s why i can’t stand all youtubers talking about client outreach while the most important thing is a working service
3$/h? Where?
Bro I'm a student I can't get a job. School is literally my job
That's why all the big businessmen dropped out
Everyone that has a full-time job is an excuse. Quit and find a part-time job. I understand there’s living costs, but look at your finances. And if switching from full-time to part-time is gonna put you at too much risk where you’re losing money or just can’t afford to have a part-time job, then I think this isn’t for you. That’s your simple answer. If you really want to make this work you’ll find a way.
jup, we have famous german consultant who moved back into his parent's house at age 28 with his WIFE and KID. 1 1/2 years moved out with a six-figure business
This is no shade to you at all. I find it interesting when SMMA youtubers talk about getting a part time job to help fund your SMMA, it seems like they are only speaking to teenagers who live at home with their parents and have all the free time in the world. What about someone who already works fulltime and has to pay for their life, im struggling to find time to book meetings during the week as I work during "normal" work hours
move to a cheaper city, have roomies, get a part-time job where you don't need a car. heck move in in your parents garage if needed. Honestly bro, if you cannot find a way to solve this problem for yourself, you have no business owning a business. you neither have the problem-solving ability nor the mental strength or creativity to start a successful company. stay at the job and move on from smma content.
So tell me Charlie: have you come up with this idea yourself or have you stolen it from Montell Gordon?
why not talking to the people you want to sell , get in their heads and then test copy? why do you gurus have it all backwards?
Incredible advice. Thank you again @charliemorgan
