This is the last email from my side before I delete the email list today.
Thanks for your overwhelming response to my emails. I would have continued sending emails but I don't want to get entangled with sales through email marketing.
I have already got many subscribers to https://pgoyal.substack.com/ where I would keep publishing my thoughts on investing, online business, education and food.
Some of you have asked for the guidance on blogging, content marketing and online business - that I believe you can easily get from free online resources.
However, there is ONE thing which is not easily available in the market - that is practical guidance and feedback on the work.
For that purpose, I can start an internship program (details later).
I thought about it.. what should be the core of the program and what is my core skill.
It's the content writing skill, right?
Once a person asked me, "Pardeep, how do you publish posts on YourStory?"
I told him, "I send my articles to YourStory editor at alok[at]yourstory.com"
He came back after a few weeks and told me that he could not get his articles published on YourStory despite multiple attempts.
I told him, "You should have asked how I write the content that editors love to publish rather than asking editor's email address"
If your content is good then any media would publish your stories.
SEO and Social Media also works when the content is good.
...........
The core of the program would be 'Content' but I will also share everything that connects 'Content' with 'Business'.
Publishing content on blog, YouTube or social media is one skill.. monetizing the content is another skill.
You need both to get the success in online business.
The internship is about the integrated content marketing that you can use to build a sustainable online business.
After that..
.. You can evolve as a growth hacker
.. You may work as social media manager
.. Content marketing manager
.. Content Creator, Editor, Publisher
.. Or simply run a slow growing but profitable online business.
It took me 5 years to claim that I have a passive income generating business that enabled me to work in the farm for the entire day.
Your journey will be different... but on the similar path.
....
The core components of Internship
- Writing Content to Satisfy the Intent of Reader
- Content that works in Affiliate Marketing
- Story driven content for social media
- Video Content for Introvert & Camera Shy people like me
- Outreach and networking skills
......
The entire Internship duration is 12 months - starting from Jan to Dec 2021.
During this entire internship program, you would stay in touch with me through weekly classes and weekly status updates.
You would be assigned work with weekly and monthly deadlines.
You can decide whether you want to pick task from your own assets, from the assets of your company or I can assign task from my assets.
I refer assets as
- Blog Content
- Social Media Content (Graphics, Posts)
- YouTube Video Content
We will keep daily conversations through WhatsApp Group and weekly calls through Zoom.
Since there is significant amount of time investment from my side, I would like to propose a commitment fees from your side - $1500 for the entire year.
Don't consider this as a course that you buy and never complete.
It's the value exchange for completing your online business dream that you were postponing since many months.
I want to have meaningful conversations and a long-lasting relationship through this program.
Since it's not a course - there won't be any batch-2.
I want to put sincere efforts into this private coaching, mentorship or whatever you want to call... and expect the same sincerity from your side.
I want you to try out the first phase of the internship before you make the decision for the entire program.
..
Phase-1 (2 Months)
- Goal Setting, understanding where you are and where you want to go.
- Understaning intent of reader even before writing the first line [Storyline, Research, Editing]
- Writing compelling story driven content that inspire people
- If writing is not your skill then also you should learn the core (good & bad of content) so that you can get content written from the freelancers
- Fixing your own previously written content (through personalized feedback)
Phase-2 (4 Months)
- Content that works in affiliate marketing
- Hiring content writers (if you are a business owner)
- How to set the pricing of different type of content
- How to find clients (if you are a freelance writer)
Phase-3 (6 Months)
- SEO Optimization
- Integrating Social Media, Videos and Blog content together (trust me, it's the most difficult task)
- Creating Video Content for YouTube
- Creating Graphics for Social Media
- Building a base of the business that you can continue after completing the internship.
....
There may be a few things up/down as it's not a fully structured pre-planned course. We will plan things as per the need of the group and move at a pace that you can cope up with.
Phase-1 of the internship is starting from 2nd Jan (Saturday) with Introductory class.
Phase-1 Fees Contribution is Rs. 9999 (application open till 31st Dec)
More details would be shared with the applicants.
...
You have program review time till 31st Jan.. means you can ask for 100% refund in case you did not like the program after the enrollment.
This internship program is only for those who want to make something happen in 2021.. through content marketing..
I am more than willing to walk along with you on this content marketing journey.
...
We may also plan physical meetup whenever time permits. Maybe I can arrange 2-3 days workshop on my organic farm in Chandigarh when we move into Phase-2.
...
Let's explore the possibilities.
Since this is the last email.. You won't get any reminders or pushy sales emails.
This application link would stay active till 31st Dec
You can enroll and wait for further instructions.
I will always be available on the email hello@cashoverflow.in
