Cold Messaging to Founders

Nothing hurts more than investing time and effort without any progress.

That's where the majority of people give up when they do not see any reply, not even a NO for their emails :)

Last month was amazing for me. I got a chance to work with multiple content writers, freelancers, and founders. But time does change, it's been 11 days into July, and I haven't written any blog yet. (but every day feels like a busy day;/ Idk what's this type of procrastination)

So, I decided to outreach business owners and founders. I sent 20-30 cold messages on LinkedIn. Personalized connection request helps, and many of them accepted it after reading this.

What shocked me more was that they just accepted and did not reply :) (maybe they would be busy :/ )

Here comes the follow-up technique. (i do not generally do this, but what's wrong with trying?).

One of the founders sent me their mail and asked me to send the commercials and more details over there :)

It didn't attract me much, but I was happy that at least they replied.

One thing I noticed in between all this is that you can get a chance to talk to some fantastic people over the internet that you didn't know a day before. (Or maybe an hour before, sounds interesting)

Consider this post as a reminder to send cold emails/DMs regularly. I know, you would be happier to get a reply while having breakfast, or maybe dinner, from someone you didn't expect :)

Ramanujans and Hardy Partition Function

Hello Aliens, This blog is about the very famous Partition theory of numbers by Srinivasa Ramanajun and GH hardy. The theory of partitions of numbers is an interesting branch of number theory. The concept of partitions was given by Leonard Euler in the 18th century. After Euler though, the theory of partition had been studied and discussed by many other prominent mathematicians like Gauss, Jacobi, Schur, McMahon, and Andrews, etc. but the joint work of Ramanujan with Prof. G.H. Hardy made a revolutionary change in the field of partition theory of numbers. Ramanujan and Hardy invented the circle method which gave the first approximations of the partition of numbers beyond 200. A partition of a positive integer ‘ n’ is a non-increasing sequence of positive integers, called parts, whose sum equals n . In simpler words, it means the number of ways in which a given number can be expressed as a sum of positive integers. For example, p(4) = 5, i.e. there are fiv...

I ruined an opportunity myself!

I ruined a fantastic opportunity myself. Two days back, I got a chance to interview with a US-based AI company for their content and copywriting work. I filled out the form, and a DM dropped in my LinkedIn to fix a date for an interview. The first round went well, but where the problem happens? After the first interview round, she asked me to send my resume and portfolio along with an assignment. And yes, even if I have worked with multiple clients from India and abroad, the assignment I sent to her was not at par. I knew it, but I still sent it because I had already delayed it to 28 hours. The moment I sent the mail, she immediately opened the doc. I was still making some edits on it. (first mistake) Second, she had shared the doc with other company members too, and they saw the work that I didn't like much. I knew I had wasted this. Within two minutes, I got the mail and texted she'll get back to me. I knew what she meant :) But what exactly happened because? Of which I lose ...

Talking to Co-Founder of Personal Branding Agency

Here's what I learned from my recent call with a founder of a Personal branding agency: 📌 Share about your expertise instead of sharing content irrelevant to your work. People share memes, some funny stuff, and hop with the latest trends. Please do not do it unless it helps your business or helps you get leads. 📌 Share learnings, share experiences, and show the stuff similar to what you will be writing for clients. That's very, very important. Your clients will be attracted to you more only if you have a better social presence. 📌 Your experience doesn't matter if you are open to learning new things. You do not need to show it in public unless necessary. Show what your clients want to see. Show what helps your business. Show what enables you to get leads. (Not always, but many times) 📌 Do not stop cold mailing even if you are getting clients on board. Always connect with people anyway. 📌 Try out different strategies related to content growth and expansion of your crew....
