Be ready to start onboarding Brand New Clients in your business in the next 4 weeks! In this program, I will teach you the fundamentals of your LinkedIn profile, connecting with clients, keeping clients for the long-term & personal branding. No matter your experience level or background, I will give you the skills you need to start using LinkedIn today! I’m Susan Miller, and I’m going to show you how to use get new clients on LinkedIn at the highest level, all starting from scratch.
Learning a completely new way of connecting with clients as a beginner is very intimidating. There are a ton of tutorials, how-to’s and advice already out there, floating around, but how do you actually start a business that you’re in control of? Is it really neccesary to learn new skills to offer as services to my clients? Is there a way to do freelancing without giving Fiverr & Upwork 10-20% of my income? That’s what they all teach, but it doesn’t feel make you feel as confident as you hoped it would. You feel one way & get told something else. I have spent a lot of time studying what it takes to actually build a successful freelancing business on my own from scratch. What do you need & what don’t you need? Where should I invest my money & where shouldn’t I? What should I do first? Do I need a website? All your questions are answered right here in LinkedIn For Leads, either in the program itself or in calls & messages with me personally, where you can ask every burning question you have!
Sometimes we feel these & hardly even realize it.... but let's check out what's going on inside our brains in each of these areas...
1.Imposter Syndrome
2. Fear of failure/ success
3. Comparison to Others
4. Unhealthy Money Mindset
5. Perfectionism
Sometimes we think we're a failure, simply because we set unrealistic expectations of ourselves. Let's make sure we set the standard for this LinkedIn game.
We're all average until we grow.
In this lesson, I'll give you a handy calendar to use throughout this challenge to make it easy to grow & help you get (or stay) in the habit of daily learning & growing.
Just because we start a business doesn't mean we need to buy a bigger wallet today.😮😮😮

Put it all together!!! Who do you help with what problem?
In this lesson, we'll be using AI to come up with every possible problem our clients may be dealing with & every obstacle that could hinder them from achieving the outcome you'll be helping them to achieve.
We'll use that info to brainstorm the pieces in our offers, such as services, items, etc. we could offer to make sure they have everything they need to overcome the problem.
In this lesson we'll sort thru all the ideas we have & pick the services we want to offer our clients.
Let's put together all the pieces of our offer so far into 1 comprehensive list.
The 4 factors of a perfect offer are what make or break yours & influence whether or not someone buys. Let's evaluate how well your offer stacks up.
These are the 4 factors-
1. Speed of transformation
2. Likelihood of Achievement
3. Amount of Effort & Sacrifice

"How much should this cost?" The age-old question that everyone has a different opinion of!!
In this lesson, I'll break it down & make it very simple for you to decide, by telling you what matters & what doesn't matter.
"Shouldn't I be just a tad cheaper than all my competition?"
(Hint- No, you've probably tried that already & it didn't work, did it?)
Oh, sorry. I forgot- you don't have any competition anymore, since you've got this offer that no-one else does. 😉 😉So happy for ya.
Now for some icing. You can add the details that make your profile fun, such as certificates, awards, etc.

Saving time (& headache) is important & today is a great day to learn how to do that in your business on LinkedIn!!!
In this lesson, we're mapping out the 3 main things that you'll be writing about on LinkedIn.
Going a little bit deeper, what are some topics within each category that you could post about?
The constantly-talked-about hook. 🙄
I know.
But hear me out.
If you don't capture their interest in the first sentence, they don't read the rest of your stuff. Or buy your stuff.
It's that simple.
Now, let's call your audience & ask them to buy!
Or to leave a comment.
Or to send you a message.
Anyone can write some words, but to influence someone with those written words requires a plan.
Today, I'm handing you the keys to influence your audience with the posts you write- which is why they follow you!
Yeah, here comes the jargon you either love or hate- the actual writing!!
If you hate writing, I'm sorry. I really am. I tried to make it simple, easy-to-use as I could!!

The PAS framework is another easy-to-use framework, when you have no idea how to get a message across clearly. We'll be writing some more posts today.
The BAB framework is another one to simplify conveying a message to your audience & yes, we're writing more posts today! 😶😊😊😊
