I was featured in Times Square last week. Here’s how… ( read till the end for tips/ tricks )

Tbh, I joined topmate.io back in January 2024.

But then I thought I wasn’t ready for that stuff, huh?

I was too afraid:

  • I thought I wouldn’t get even one booking or call.
  • I felt I wasn’t as qualified as the other experts there.
  • I wondered how I’d convince people to book a meeting.
  • Who would even purchase my services or products?

So I just created my profile and left it as it was.

Too many things happened throughout the year. (Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dTWbieh6)

But back in November (at the end of the month), I randomly remembered Topmate again. lol

I was confident. I heavily updated my profile.

Here’s one tip I used to accelerate the process and increase bookings:

I simply made everything free. Literally everything: mentorship, Q&A, consultations, services, and products.

And… yep, it worked out. In a month, I made it into the Top 1% of experts.

It’s been a nice experience and experiment. lol

Thanks so much to everyone who talked with me, purchased products, etc.

I believe it was useful for you, and I’m glad I could help somehow.

See ya!
