What It's About

A listener seeks advice on how to land their first sale. What should they know?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1323
Shoutout to everyone in search of their first customer, first client, or first sale. It’s a very important milestone and that’s why for all our case studies, one of the questions I always ask is “Do you remember your first sale?”

Not everyone does, but a high percentage of people do. It’s not unusual at all to hear that achieving that milestone feels incredibly satisfying—and hopefully, it’s the first of many.

Today’s listener fits this description. He wants to become a digital personal assistant to help people with tech support. How should he proceed?
"Hi, Chris. My name is Nate. First of all, thanks for everything that you're doing to help out the community of Side hustle is out there making it happen. My idea is being a digital personal assistant focused more on like personal tech support. Being basically like the nephew or niece that answers questions for people, for people that don't have that person in their life. Really quick text or phone-based, easily billable. I can build all the structure for everything.

But what I'd really like to know is how do you get in front of your very first customers? Should we go and spend money on ads? Should we post things on Facebook? I'm not really sure and I'd really love to know about how to plan going from zero to one. Thanks so much and hope we're able to make a success out of it."
