Sahil Vhora tweets…
Last month, my tweet gained significant attention, achieving:
📈 48k+ views
👍 350+ likes
🔖 200+ bookmarks
👤 4k+ profile clicksThis has resulted in over 75 new project inquiries so far! It’s unbelievable!
Here’s the tweet in question, where he shares design work he did for a client whose startup got acquired.
75 leads from one tweet… that’s the power of “building in public” or “showing your work” 💪
Another example of this comes from Lera Clipwing, who tweeted a 20-second video and wrote…
Guys at @lmsqueezy have a great [podcast] but they don’t post short clips!
so we took their raw episode and added:
✨ effects & filters to make it catchy
🎵 sounds & zooms for dynamics
🎨 purple background & yellow captions to match the brand
To which the CEO of @lmsqueezy replied…
This is so good! Can we hire you?
That led to a shoutout in a popular marketing newsletter (130k subs).
😍 Which resulted in even more exposure and inquiries for Lera…
I just had a call about our video production service with a person from a multi-billion dollar company.
Two great examples there of people creating big opportunities for themselves.
Sahil leveraged the success of a project he worked on, showed off how he contributed, and got a lot of inbound as a result.
Whereas Lera did some free and unsolicited work for someone with a big audience, posted it online, and reaped the rewards 🥳
It’s a good reminder that there are 2 main parts to success in business…
- Doing the thing
- Selling the thing
You can be great at #1 but that’s useless in isolation.
#2 is what gets people knocking on your door, eager to give you money 💰
With that in mind, ask yourself…
- What work are you proud of?
- What if you shared or talked about it online this week?
