Unemployed For 6 Months And ....

So hey, it’s me. I got laid off from my marketing agency, and even though I have more than six years of experience and worked hard to build my position, I took things a little too lightly and ended up losing my job, which was honestly my fault. This year, I decided to start everything again from scratch and reached out to over 5,000 potential businesses, got six replies, and converted one into a complete make-or-break deal where I was offered $2,000 for ads and social media only if the business achieved a 20 percent profit, otherwise nothing. At that time, the brand had around 8,000 followers, nearly 29 percent of which were inactive, with reach barely touching 10,000, and the success rate of reels, carousels, or static posts was almost zero because Instagram works on timing and ideas, not just editing. Knowing this, I created a list of 100 influencers and approached them for barter collaborations, out of which seven agreed, which was enough to kick things off. The first four influencer collaborations generated around 34,000 reach, while the last one alone crossed 150,000 reach, leading to 142 inquiries and 32 genuinely interested leads. Alongside this, I also started running ads, which are performing well, and this is just day 10 of the journey. The reason I am sharing this is simple. If any of you are interested in a make-or-break type of offer or need a clear strategy or roadmap for your social media, ads, or SEO, I would be happy to help you.
