What do I say? • “Love your creations and work. I would love to be able to bring you some value. Are you doing anything around marketing? Let me know – have a great day.” OR “The video with you and the little kid is awesome! Do you have a website I can buy some of your creations? Would love to help and set you up with an online store.” • DMs = simple. • Virtual business card. • Version of “cold calling,” but you’re actually connecting with these people based on interest. • Are you doing this?
