    The thing I got from Chris in the last few videos is something I never ever thought of (which is so simple yet it never crossed my mind). Make the client money or make the client happy and that's what will make you money.

    Awesome Masterclass as always! One thing that I learned about getting your first 10 customers is starting off with the leads first before they come customers as obvious as it sounds. Your leads can literally be anything, even if you do not have an audience. They could be the people in your phone contacts list to the personal folks that follow you on social media. Or even your LinkedIn connections, you would be surprised at how supportive a closer network of friends and family can be. Cheers!

    Positioning yourself as a provider of video production to a company that doesn't have that capability may encounther the problem that the company doesn't have the experience to generate or implement a video content strategy -> NO ROI. As a result, they will struggle to justify the relationship's cost. However, teach them to fish with the tools and material you provide will truly make you an asset in their business.
