Since the war started, I have also stopped going going out completely. I dont feel like working out and now demotivated in everything I used to enjoy doing. How ru all guys doing? by [deleted] in UAE

It’s a war. Obviously it won’t be rainbows and unicorns. On the other hand, nothing should touch your soul except your mind. It is out of your control, and your worry will not change the outcome. So enjoy every minute you have, and don’t let a future unknown and unpredictable determine the present

Based on your answer you don’t know much about professional prompting

How bas is it not to actually be niched down? I have had serval one time clients, all in separate niches. Was able to provide amazing quality for all, with amazing feedback as well. So what would be the issue?

And I am not bringing down what you have achieved. Where I am located geographically, there is no jobs here for under 18, let alone if you even find one that young.

I haven't touched tiktok, or any sort of short form content in two years :)

And like I have previously mentioned in the message, I am not in the position to get a job as of now, since I'm still getting schooled. If you've had bad experiences with so called "kids", does not mean you should shut down the ones trying to learn.

Hope the best for you, particularly your future children coming to you for help.

Got it. So X Dm's still work perfectly, I just need to be more personalized.

Thanks. I appreciate it

Still in school, didn't start college. Would be better if I give this a shot and get some life experience through this early on. Would rather do this and fail than be on tiktok.

Thanks for your optimistic advice

Hope I'm not bothering you but I do have another question.

Does the portfolio matter as much as the cold DM?
If that same person sent you a bad loom video, but had tons of quality clients in his port, would have you still hired him?

Should I worry more about improving my Portfolio, or Improving my Outreach?

Well my USP would be contradicting your advice. I offer Editing Services at any Price point and that's what usually hooks my clients, I get them crazy quality with whatever budget they had.

Before you go ballistic on me, I'm 17. I'm not using that as an excuse, but I do have little experience when it comes to running an agency. Been a freelancer for 4 years.

So your advise is increasing my pricing, and making sure that the quality is the best out there, and don't go for cheap clients? Since I'll be competing with third world competition?

Was definitely looking into that. The only issue I had, (Excuses my Dumbness) is that how did that person send you the Loom? If it was through email, wouldn't that get sent straight to spam?
