Chapter 1: The Journey of a New Entrepreneur

Meet Tina, a budding entrepreneur who is captivated by the allure of success. Her aspirations of becoming a millionaire by 25 seem to be within reach. However, let's not get too ahead of ourselves just yet.

Social media advertisements often entice individuals with visions of an ideal lifestyle filled with time, money, and freedom. Naturally, curiosity piques, prompting many to subscribe to sales funnels.

You might find yourself being encouraged to:

• Join a sales call
• Purchase a coaching program

And like a diligent student, you comply. But this is where things start to take a turn. You are advised to:

• Invest in ads
• Develop a sales page
• Set up an email funnel

With an optimistic mindset, you follow through, only to find that your efforts may not yield the expected results. Soon, you realize your credit card bills are piling up due to ad expenses, and you’re left wondering how to stop the financial bleed.

After spending $3,000 on ads and $10,000 on coaching, you find yourself down $13,000 without breaking even. This harsh reality teaches Tina a valuable lesson: align your traffic strategies with the current stage of your business.

In my view (take this as you will), beginners should refrain from adopting advanced strategies. Without an established audience, niche, or offer, investing in ads can be a futile effort.

Instead, consider how you can achieve ad-level reach without spending a dime. What are ads fundamentally? They are a costly method to reach a broad audience.

So, what’s the alternative? Collaborations offer a free route to connect with larger groups of people.

How can you effectively implement these collaborations? By engaging in what I like to call "collaborations on steroids." Here are two powerful ways to initiate these collaborations:

• Freebie Swaps
• Bundles

It’s straightforward! The quickest way to kick things off is to reach out to friends within your industry and brainstorm mutually beneficial promotional ideas.

Remember, sending an email is far more economical than investing in an advertisement.
