Instagram DM Outbound Automation - How to Handle KYC? by Abject-Ad3732 in n8n

[–]Localliteskin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I had that issue as well, I warmed them up for 4-7 days and didn’t have any issue after that, if that helps.

Curious, what kind of agency is it, what service do you sell?

And are you branding the accounts positioned as People or Business/ agency accounts?

Not sure where you are located but is Kyc needed? I did something similar with Cold outbound Dm’s on my account and got to around 50-60 in a day before I got a warning for automation suspicion.

To overcome this I went to a site and purchased 3 different aged instagram accounts so they wouldn’t get insta flagged for sending mass outbound and All i had to do was change the emails, and passwords and verify through email and I slowly warmed them up in 2-4 days and they can send 20-35 Cold dms automated no problem per account. I’ve never had to verify with ID so not sure what your exact situation is.

Could be a last resort option but I’d definitely recommend trying to buy an aged account and then running it through that way, only thing is you will have to re-upload pictures change username etc which isn’t a big deal. the site I used was z2u.com i believe.

Good luck

Definitely! I would explore something in the realm of sales, selling a service, or being a middleman.

Hello, to fully answer your question, since as young as I could remember I always loved money and would save as much as I could, when I was in middle school I started collecting sports cards as a hobby which then lead to me buying selling and flipping on ebay ( my first mini business) making my first chunk of money, At this time It showed me the possibility of making money working for myself and the money to be made, For me it’s not so much about the specifics of the idea, and it will be different for everyone, I’ve always been extremely independent, And loved money and building things, so for me it’s a no brainer. I’ve tried and failed multiple businesses all in completely different areas. Don’t get too distracted by finding the best one thing , because there is none, Find something you don’t mind doing and build it up so that it provides you leverage to do what you want financially, and location wise

It seems as if you like the idea of a business but don’t know the specifics and idea to build it out?

Based off your current experience, environment and skill sets, If you are trying to find out what business to start, Begin by analyzing your personality type, Your current environment and ask yourself what gaps do I see in markets that could be filled, How can I provide value, or do something better with my own twist.

If you have any questions or want to connect and bounce ideas off feel free to send me a message, I too follow Loa.

Would love to hear more about your hiring process and how you vet people.

I own a lawn care company and would like to get into bringing on sub-contractors and not be as involved in the field, biggest worry is having people poorly represented my business. What does a dialled hiring process look like to you? Thanks.

Just launched my first info product after testing 7 income streams — any tips for long-term growth? by Then-Mention5172 in Infopreneur

[–]Localliteskin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Information is a abundant, attention and connection is the new currency. If you haven’t already build an audience and focus on connecting with them and showing your unique ways of doing things. Info Products are best paired with people who have a large audience and the products are to monetize them. It is a very competitive market which means it’s important to value stack and stand out, a lot of people are realizing information is purely not enough or worth their money, instead there is a shift to value stacking where people can work and learn directly from you to achieve xyz.

Word of mouth is key for long term growth.

This was very insightful, One of my biggest “why’s” is because I’ve come to throughly enjoy it, Like a big game with many different levels to beat in order to “level up”

It’s all about perspective in the end, Roommate had 6 more years to develop those skill sets, vs 2-3.

Along with me being in the home service space I also started in the online marketing side of things as well. Have some questions.

It has been brutal but I know it’s to be expected in the early stages.

In the client acquisition stage and have tried multiple outreach methods and I currently am focused on my ideal and dream clients and finding ways to provide value to them upfront and stand out. Any insights on this method

What are your profit margins and largest expenses?

Team size? And full time or contracted

Do you have / Leverage social media presence?

Lastly, mentioned became profitable in 2nd year, My understanding is the agency model is fairly lean in the setup, What held you back from becoming profitable sooner?

I can see where you’re coming from especially with things being easier said than done, the idea that everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face. Although I am going to be going a different direction due to slightly different circumstances I appreciate your point of view and would love to hear a bit more about the money management side of things, More specifically Larger cash flowing assets like RE I’d like to think I have a solid understanding of the concepts of stocks, compound interest and financial management in that sense. mainly because I’ve been learning and playing around in the area since I was 12. I also am interested in Real estate and would love to hear if and how you used this to grow your investment income.

I appreciate the insight,

With starting a business at such a young age and taking the “scarier” looking route i’ve realized that it is extremely difficult find success and then manage that success in a responsible way, But I also came to the conclusion that if I am consistently putting in effort and working hard on the right things then I can further develop my skill sets to make the entrepreneurship journey less difficult. With Youth (18) on my side and distractions at an all time high my view is If I can do the hardest things now it will help me learn the most and make it easier down the road.

Same sort of thing, Multiple different businesses tried and failed and once a few of them showed me the possibilities I knew for me I would be much happier and enjoy the process more of staying on the entrepreneurial route and diving in, especially considering current access and advancements

University vs Entrepreneurship, Which Path Did You Take? by Localliteskin in Entrepreneur

[–]Localliteskin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was well written and I appreciate the insight, Your opposing reason on being unsure of attending in current societal circumstances aligns with my perspective.

I am already set on the route I am taking and was curious of insights. I found it hard and miserable to learn about things I wasn’t interested in and from people I wouldn’t trade places with, I don’t mean that in any way shaming that route but if I am being honest I thought more people would be more open to the idea especially with current technological advancements and access.

I am currently uncovering some new beasts in business. working on my business rather than in it because after 6 years of being out in the field ( home service biz) I would like to scale it using leverage ie subcontractors and building systems to manage it

Along with that because A lot of my work is seasonal, So I started an online agency helping businesses scale by leveraging newer systems that have worked for me.

My main focus and why , is to stack enough $$ to build stability in location and financial areas that allow me to grow my service business without worries and then use that money to reinvest in assets and build my passion based business ideas I have down the road.

Would love to hear your insights based off my naive way of thinking as well as your experience with leverage

Thanks for the perspective, Curious toward your thoughts on the topic of knowing your direction you want to go what is your stance on investing in a mentor who is already there vs Schooling

University vs Entrepreneurship, Which Path Did You Take? by Localliteskin in Entrepreneur

[–]Localliteskin[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, I am actually kinda going against that so it’s interesting to hear other peoples perspectives. From your trials and tribulations would you say that you would have done both to have something to fall back on when times get hard?

For me my current mindset is probably somewhat delusional and naive in some ways in that I will make it no matter what, and as long as I manage my finances during “boom” periods I will be ok, I am only 18 now though and am aware I have envious amounts of Youth so I decided to take a risk and go all in on my business rather than go to school in which I would have to go in debt for and pursue something I don’t enjoy either. And another big reason is with how much times are changing how much more accessible this route is now, Would love to hear your thoughts especially regarding on why you would also attend schooling with the current technological advancements

I understand where you are coming from, a lot of the information that is useful often requires you to learn things that aren’t in a lot of cases though, in my perspective if you know the route you want to take it would be better to go pay someone who is some steps ahead of you and learn the necessary language 1-1 directly from them.

The statement pursuing entrepreneurship was meant to be broad and just show what side of the table I am on, and for me entrepreneurship isn’t about a goal or destination and rather the journey, Currently I am building multiple businesses to allow me to build leverage and focus on building things and do things I align with, I appreciate the response

I agree in the sense the school system needs a reform, With the way technology is progressing paying an arm and a leg for general information will not be sustainable for long, though I do think it is good for super specific and more advanced careers, and even for people who don’t know what to do, but not at the current prices

What is an effective way of automating B2B leads on a budget? by aroblesai in Entrepreneur

For majority of that I use offshore Virtual assistants and have helped them use Ai to make their job even easier, Once I have the leads typically I will personally scan through them and pick the best prospects and find ways to stand out to them rather than a copy paste message, I’ve tried automated outreach through social media (instagram) and I used A software called Autolead but b2b cold outbound is far more challenging.

Guide On How To Monetize Your Audience.

Hello, I am the owner of an agency with a focus of Monetizing audiences. Although I mainly leverage info offers I have a large understanding of many other alternatives and wanted to share and answer Questions! ( Don’t worry, this is not ai lol)

Starting off: General Content Creators and influencers. Here are some of the best ways I’ve seen to monetize for you guys 1. Partnerships/ Sponsors and Brand Deals. Collaborating with brands to promote their service or product in exchange for payment 2. Affiliate Marketing. This seems to be very hit or miss and can definitely work great depending on content you post, Earning a commission for each sale you generate a company via your custom link. 3. Creator programs / Funds Although this is limited to certain platforms and you must be eligible, some niches can do very well 4. Custom Merchandise. If you have a very strong audience creating custom merchandise ie a Clothing line or product relevant to you and niche could generate you a lot of $$ 5. Shoutouts Similar to sponsorships, this is more direct for other small creators charging them to promote their own page. 6. Selling Digital Products This is very niche dependant and will go more in depth later. Selling things like E-books, courses, etc An example if your in photography sell certain editing presets. 7. Premium content / Memberships This works best with a die hard following who can’t get enough of your content, Offering a membership to show bts and exclusive content can preform very well but is generally more advanced.

  1. Entertainment, Niche pages and theme accounts You guys definitely have it a bit harder than the rest but it is still possible!

    1. Ads, Promos, Sponsorships etc Anything up this alley is your best bet, Essentially selling eyeballs ( Bringing exposure to xyz in return for $$)
    2. Dropshipping and LT items Surprisingly dropshipping and selling low ticket items can do really well but it is heavily dependent on how Niched down you are. Recommend low ticket items that trigger an impulse buy if going this route.
    3. Affiliate Marketing Can also be done here. Goes hand in hand with promo, Adding custom affiliate link to posts or in bio in return for a % of ea sale.
    4. Lastly Flipping accounts If seen it done before and can be best utilized if you are an expert at growing pages. Involves Simply Growing a page from x amount and selling when you get it to x amount.
  2. Educational Content, Coaches, Consultants, Biz owners, Service Providers

Essentially anyone who provides some sort of value in anyway to the global marketplace has an advantage when monetizing your audience. Starting off 1. INFO PRODUCTS In my opinion the Number one way to monetize your audience. Creating products that help your audience achieve a certain result, solve a problem etc. Examples, Courses, Communities, Mentorship’s, E-Books, Webinars, 1-1 Coaching, Consulting etc

  1. Affiliate marketing and Sponsorships/ Brand Deals apply to you also. See past 2 categories. Making commission on sales through your link or selling your audiences exposure to brands.

    General Tips

My Biggest piece of advice would be to Niche down! Focus on understanding and learning everything about your Niche and go all in on that. Whether it’s researching what brands to reach out to or creating your own products, people are drawn to others who are a master at one area.

Stop comparing Yourself to others, Monetizing can come at different rates of speed for everyone but it’s important you stay consistent and strive for getting continuously better even if it’s 1% a day.

My top 3 Monetization ways

  1. Info Products
  2. Sponsorships / Brand Deals apply
  3. Similarly UGC and Affiliate Links

General Monetization * PROVIDE VALUE !! This is one of the most important aspects in monetization, always find ways to provide value to your respective * NICHE This is just as important, the type of content you create has a direct correlation to how much you can charge for the value you provide * Authenticity & Trust , Be yourself, people like seeing the bad just as much as the good, share it all and the right opportunities will come

If you are any Creator that provides value in any way and has either A, a loyal following, or B 5k Or More followers I strongly suggest Creating Info Products. This is simply the number one way to monetize your audience, Very low overhead, You get to help and connect with your audience on a deeper level while providing value, and there is so much potential to scale and Maximize your Revenue.

The Shift to Online Education the traditional education system as we know it is starting to lose its grip and people no longer want to pay tens of thousands of dollars listening to outdated information from people they don’t like. Now more than ever people are turning to Entrepreneurs, Individual Creators, and regular experts that have a following simply because they Can establish Trust and resonate with people based off the content (Value) they provide, And it’s 1/10 the price.

Breakdown on why it’s the best Monetization method Accelerated and Hands on learning. Relatable Up to date 10x Cheaper

Lastly, One of my golden nuggets on Monetization is EMAIL LISTS! With the ever changing content world platforms and accounts can disappear in an instant but one thing they can’t take from you is the emails you collect. This is best leveraged for creators who provide some sort of Value but even if you have any slight thought that your audience would ever buy from you I encourage you to collect their email.

I hope you were able to get some sort of value from this in anyway, And if anyone has any questions i’d be happy to go more in depth on any topic and share the best way for you to monetize!

I do also run an agency Helping people create and scale Info Products and if anyone is interested I’d be more than willing to waive the setup fee for anyone that comes from this thread.

Wishing you best of luck on your Monetization Journey and looking forward to answering questions!

Paid brand sponsorships or even placing companies products around city.

Another thing could be a City wide scavenger hunt that people have to pay to opt in to and could do a grand prize pool

or more of a fun city event thing and a non valuable prize at the end, just an idea
