How do I find my place on the internet?


Quick one before I get into it...

Everyone wants revenue. But you also need a system to attract consistent leads.

My friend Marcus just dropped an entire step-by-step framework on exactly how. This has generated over £1M in new business and he’s mapped out the steps you need to take + how you can plug this into your brand...and he's giving it to you for free.

Yesterday a marketing consultant who signed up to Solo Social Client Machine told me something interesting and which I resonated with.


"I need to find my place on the internet. I just started out with this venture, so I may need more help than others."


It got me thinking back to when I first started writing online.

The reason I started writing online was because I just decided to start my solo business as a copywriter. I had no client base and no previous credentials as a copywriter, only a marketer (which is extremely handy when it comes to copywriting).

I desperately needed to get clients or at least some awareness that I existed in this world with something to offer people.

Wasn't easy.

I'm an introverted kinda guy so the idea of attending in-person networking events was a no go for me. The idea of sending cold emails to complete strangers hoping they'd be interested in me copywriting for them was a no go. And the idea of paying for advertising was terrifying because what if I wasted my very limited budget on something that didn't work?

But I had to do something.

So posting content online became an option, specifically on LinkedIn.

Again, wasn't easy.

I had no idea what to write about, why I was writing it, who I was writing for, how to know if it was working or not. Total beginner. Feeling clueless, lost and wondering if this is all even worth my time.

But it soon started to feel right.

The reason for that was because I got going, tried some stuff and figured out what worked and what didn't from what I had tried up to that point (3 months or so I think).

Things started clicking, I found what I enjoyed writing about and what my very small audience liked reading and what other people's bigger audiences enjoyed reading.

I got making some friends, other people in the same boat.

And that was it:

I found my place on the internet.

After that everything felt a lot clearer, I knew I belonged and why I belonged. So it was just a matter of sticking to it and diving head first into this new found belonging.

How cool is that?

I would've never found this belonging without:

  • Starting to write online
  • Doing it consistently for some time
  • Figuring out the what, why, how, who

So if you've still not found your place on the internet?

My new 6 week program, Solo Social Client Machine, is perfect for you.

It's built for solo business owners like us who not only want a client generation channel, but want a place where we belong and can commit to building something amazing that will serve us and our business for years to come.

But here's the thing:

We kick this program off on Tuesday 12th November, which means you don't have a ton of time to join. And, because this is the first time I'm running the Solo Social Client Machine program, if you don't join before then you'll miss out on the special introductory price.

This offer ends soon because we start on Tuesday 12th November:

Count down to 2024-11-11T21:00:00.000Z

After that, the doors shut and this introductory access to the live Skool community and daily support will close, because this I want to work closely with a small group on this introductory version of the Solo Social Client Machine.

If you want a simple system to attract clients and find your place on the internet, I suggest you lock in your spot now.

If there’s one thing I see on LinkedIn that gives me an instant ick, it’s “experts” telling beginner creators not to schedule posts. Here’s why it annoys me: The biggest challenge for beginner creators isn’t figuring out the perfect time to post or chasing algorithms. It’s staying consistent. But these so-called experts are advising against one of the most effective tools for building consistency: scheduling posts. I'm gonna say this once and only once... (alright, probably will say this...

I haven't messaged you in a few days. Because we had a friend here from England visiting so we were busy having fun and relaxing. That and more important things took over. You know, life :) But the last time I did message you I was harping on about how great short text posts are and how much fun I'm having writing them lately. And while that is true... I was lying to you all week. There's actually a sad truth behind short text posts that I haven't exposed to you because I've been spending my...

Got a friend from England visiting this week and we done a cheeky pilates session together this morning. Nothing like destroying your legs and having wobbly knees for the rest of the weekend 👍🏼 Yesterday I showed you how I write simple, 250 character text posts. I've been blabbing on it a lot the last couple days, because I can't get over how simple they are and what brilliant results I'm seeing from them. That doesn't mean to say carousels and big, all singing all dancing visual creative...
