6 months after starting my lead gen agency as a beginner (update) | My SMMA Journey
6 months ago I started my lead gen smma agency as a complete beginner. After making many mistakes and having trouble signing my first client, I was able to sign my first few smma clients. I break down my journey this far and also what the plan is to continue growing the agency. I also break down what I did month by month to learn smma from scratch.

Consuming content is good to build a bit of confidence but it has to be minumum 80% actions, felt so many times on it too on the learning trap

in that learning trap rn because i’m a chronic perfectionist. need to buck that shit and just go for it

@@juliuspreloznik7236 Yes same. Just keep it in mind this. I found it useful, at the end of every day, to review what I actually did and my progresses. Keep a checklist of things you have to do so when you have your own review daily you can actually see how much stuff you got done. Its also a good motivation to check things off that playlist. Keep the consumation of content only for the evening, before 19:00 pm I dont allow myself to go on youtube or socials if not for research purposes and I make sure I stay strictly at them and not get distracted. We are our own enemy

Hey Juan! Love the videos and was wondering if you have plans on uploading a video about how you setup, run and optimize ur facebook ads. Haven't seen too many people showing that side of the business so if u made a video explaining and going through step by step how u do it would be awesome :D
Great Video!!

Jaun, Me and you started at the same time, but you know I already signed 5 clients and 2 more clients are on the way so until now it's going great and also wish you best best best of luck. One more fact in the beginning when I was trying to find clients and no one was ready to work with me because I also have the same problem as, not good at cold calling, so I was getting disappointed but watching your videos were giving me courage as it were giving me idea that there are other ppl doing same and facing same so its normal to face issues in the beginning and this feeling I was getting from your videos which really helped me push hard,.

Yo Juan my man you are doing amazing!!! Super glad for your success here on the industry, and honestly your giving my a huge amount of motivation. So, I wanted to personally ask you if maybe you could do a video related on how you track the performance of your ads! The thing that is most holding me back is just having no information to give to my clients to calculate the ROI with my agency. If you could do a video on that, it would absolutely be amazing😎

Hey Juan, loving your videos man. At a very similar stage as you with a few clients and slowly trying to scale and work on service delivery. What are your main client acquisition channels and what volume are we talking about?
Hey man great video I’m Interested in knowing what your main services include do I mainly run ads or?
I have the opposite problem. I hate building websites, funnels, workflows, and I have no clue how to do advertising, but on the other side, Im enjoying cold calling and I feel super comfortable on sales calls, and English isn’t even my first language. I started 2 weeks ago, and currently I signed 3 high ticket clients, but I have no idea how I will deliver on the promise. However, I have no choice, so I have to figure out how to get them results.

Awesome video man. Quick question for you (that you may or may not be able to answer): Would you recommend I have more than 1 client in a city? I am hopping on a call to close a deal with a business in a city where I already have 1 client. I am worried that I will essentially be competing with myself. Thanks
This is awesome! Just curious, how much outreach are you doing? And how are you doing it?
Hey juan what videos do you recommend to setup facebook ads and ghl.
How do you generate leads to clients that you want to outreach and peach?
Could I ask a ball-park estimate of your monthly retainer? You said you service chiropractors, so I’m wondering how many appts you’re getting them per month, and what the value of those customers are. Thanks man!
how much outreach you do daily ?
In your opinion which outreach method is good??
I was getting discouraged that I still have no clients after a month of outreach but I've been only doing like 8 a day and I realized that's nowhere near enough lmfao
A question I think is important its nedeed to pay taxes at all because I don't see people mentioning it
i found about smma about 4 months ago i didn't think to much of it now in the past week i wanted to get started ive watched everything there is to watch and the only thing stopping me from starting is the god damn payment processor smh
Execution > Consumption
Just like you we also consumed so much content but felt fear while executing but now me and my friend are just on the edge of starting the agency. I just had one question.. How do you find high paying quality US,UK clients operating from India?
Can you make like a step-by-step tutorial on starting an online marketing agency? I've been wanting to start one but can't find many people who're teaching every single step.

Hey Thomas, watching KZread videos and also just trying and iterating on our own. I posted a video on how I do service delivery if you’re curious at all 💯
some wisdom to people here, do a performance based offer. average LTV for me is 10k+ with 80$ per person I bring them. i signed 7 people in 2 weeks.
How much was the first client paying you?
Hey just curious why start SMMA vs ecom since I see ecom as way easier to build as brand and to scale and test since even with SMMA clients leave very quickly sometimes like 3-6months rage and the work for it doesn’t seem very fruitful vs the amount of work than you would do with ecom. Since most people when they even quit ecom they put in like 1-2 month of work and that’s it

Your sales frame is wrong: sales isn't about trying to 'convince' them you have valuable services It's about finding out if they have a problem you can solve - if not they will never buy No convincing needed if you apply this frame - hope it helps
Dude, you should find a good mentor to help you out and lead you. You're making things harder on yourself than they have to be. Also look into outsourcing work you don't like doing. Quit being cheap invest in yourself and your business. Thank me later.
Hey Juan. Great content brother. Please check your insta dm's. We would like to spnsor your videos
