A while back I wrote an email where I told you guys not to have clients…
And some dumbass replied:
“This doesn’t make sense?? Why wouldn’t I have a client?? If I did that I wouldn’t have my client now”
I’ll get to his query in a moment but after asking him some questions… his “client” scammed him out of 60 free emails.
Now these weren’t the best emails, but he said he spent…
7 MONTHS WORKING FOR FREE?!
Bro… you’re a dumbass.
Honestly, you remind me of a frog in this story I heard.
Basically it’s this frog and he’s just chilling by a lake. Then some scorpion comes up and he’s like:
“Bro take me across the lake.”
And the frog says:
“Why would I do that? You’re going to sting me”
Then the scorpion:
“Nah then we’d both die”
And finally the frog decides to bring the scorpion across the lake on his back.
But then…
He stung the frog
So to answer your question, frog boy:
… “This doesn’t make sense?? Why wouldn’t I have a client??” …
You should have a client.
BUT (and if you weren’t such a dumbass you would’ve seen this in the email you replied to) there are some clients you shouldn’t have.
You offer to help them, and they take that as a chance to fuck you.
Aka frog boy’s so-called “client.”
If you would’ve actually done outreach (correctly) for those 7 months you’d have at least $3,000 in the bank right now.
anyways…
{{first_name|ball sack lover… yes i’m talking to YOU}}…
PLEASE, do outreach correctly and actually find clients who aren’t going to blow your back out like the scorpion did.
Here’s a cool way I’ve found to make getting new customers easy:

Over the next year, Roku predicts that 100% of the streaming audience will see ads. For growth marketers in 2026, CTV will remain an important “safe space” as AI creates widespread disruption in the search and social channels.
