When you literally have to yell at ChatGPT to get a useful output. Surprisingly, after this prompt, it actually gave me something decent! 😅 #ChatGPTprompts #buildinpublic

So I was supposed to get my website ready by March end! I just bought my domain. 🎉And content is (almost) ready because I'm never satisfied with the draft! 👀 But let's see how fun it will be to build on #Wix. I was tempted to use #Framer but it's costly. #buildinpublic #website #solopreneur

Spent three hours last night doing data entry on my leads—what a task! 😅 But it gave me so much clarity on the types of leads I’m getting, how many I’ve closed, and what’s still in progress. I'll share the numbers at the end of the month(well cold pitching number doesn't look good)🙈 #buildinpublic

I enjoy working with clients who have a clear vision for their product/service and has an appreciation for a writer who pushes back with thoughtful challenges. The best collaborations turn into great brainstorming sessions, not just task assignments! #buildinpublic #marketing #b2bindustry

Fiverr announced #FiverrGo — where freelancers can train their own AI models and sell them to clients. This means AI isn’t just a tool to assist your work anymore—it’s becoming the service itself. But somehow, I feel this won’t work out in favor of creators in the long run. (contd.) #buildinpublic

In an era of AI-powered note-taking tools, I still use my pen and paper! ✍️ I jot down every imp pointers my clients say during meetings. Sometimes my handwriting turns completely illegible as I’ve to match their speed, but hey, I still remember the context! So it works. #buildinpublic #solopreneur

Are directories a new business trend? I’ve already spotted 2 directory projects on BS, and one of my clients is also building one—where I’m helping with programmatic SEO template creation. Should I consider building a directory of #agencies & #freelancers/consultants? Thoughts? #buildinpublic

Nikita Agarwal @nikita-agarwal.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

When closing a lead, I keep it simple: ✅ Hop on a discovery call ✅ Share scope of work via email ✅ Sign the agreement ✅ Ask for a product demo No unnecessary steps. No overcomplication. Just a streamlined approach to getting started. #salesprocess #buildinpublic #solopreneur #freelancers

I share a love-hate relationship with ChatGPT! 😅 Sometimes it tries to annoy me for no reason by completely misinterpreting my prompts. And then there are days when it surprises me with the perfect response, even when I don’t give enough info! #ChatGPT #relationship #buildinpublic

Sent out 3 pitches today— 1️⃣ Reached out to an old client 2️⃣ Cold-pitched a B2B content agency 3️⃣ Followed up with an inbound lead Now, we wait. ⏳ #clientpitch #buildinpublic #b2bcontent #solopreneur

Nikita Agarwal @nikita-agarwal.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

When a well-established B2B content agency responds to your cold pitch, you’re excited. You discuss their needs, your experience & then they drop this: 0.02 cents per word. Had to double-check with my brother if they really meant $0.0002 or 2 cents. Either way, it's exploitation. 🙃 #buildinpublic

Last week, I was sick and couldn't engage much on social media. However, I made sure all my client work was delivered on time! It’s easy to prioritize client work over personal branding, but it can really take a hit on your own visibility. #solopreneur #buildinpublic #freelancer

The past few months, I tried sending cold pitches—but didn’t close a single one. Then last month, I landed two clients: one from an inbound lead on LinkedIn and another from an old client. Have you closed any clients recently through cold outreach? #buildinpublic #freelancer #SaaS #Solopreneur

Editing Rule 102: It’s easy to overlook small details—spacing around em dashes, Oxford commas, or capitalization rules. But these tiny inconsistencies can make an article look unpolished. That’s why it’s essential to ask for a brand’s style guide before you start writing! #buildinpublic #b2bcontent

Nikita Agarwal @nikita-agarwal.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

Editing Rule 101: If you have to write a 1,000-word article, cut it down to 500. Then, add back another 500. Repeat the process until there’s no more redundancy. That's how you create a clean, valuable piece—this rule set the foundation for my writing career! #buildinpublic #b2bcontent #freelancer

Walter Lippmann noted 100+ years ago that moral judgment is far more common than constructive thought. The trend remains: the less capable a person or group is of constructive thinking, the more they moralize. This mindset can become an identity—one that's hard to break.

Unpopular opinion: Your first freelance client is always an inbound lead. It’s never the cold pitches — it’s that random friend, ex-colleague, or someone who just happened to find you at the right time! 👀 #freelancer #b2bmarketing #buildinpublic #solonepreneur

No matter how many tabs I open in GoogleDocs for research or outlining, I need my pen and notebook. Yep, I’m old-school like that. Writing it down gives my thoughts a structure—even if my handwriting struggles to keep up with the speed and may look completely illegible to others! ✍️ #buildinpublic

I love how my Bluesky feed is blissfully free of "Here’s how to spot AI-generated content" posts. At least here, I can say words like strategize, elevate, and unlock without being accused of copy-pasting from ChatGPT . 😜 Freedom feels good! 🚀 (oh, and this emoji too 😜) #buildinpublic #b2bcontent

Last week, I closed a new client! 🎉 And I also said NO to a lead because: – No clarity on growth – The risk felt greater than the reward – Undefined scope of work – They wanted to pay peanuts Saying NO when something doesn’t feel right for you? That’s a win too! #buildinpublic #b2bmarketing

Sometimes, a startup’s product isn’t entirely new—it’s a popular product adapted for a specific audience. Think purple tomatoes with more antioxidants, vegan meat with better texture, or Instagram reimagining Flickr for mobile users. Small tweaks can lead to big wins. #Startups

One thing about remote work or freelancing is that its' easy to forget to step outside! Last week, I hadn’t left my house all week — glued to my my home desk. But this week, I flipped the script. I've explored two cafes in town this week! ☕ #buildinpublic #b2bmarketing #solonepreneur

One thing that I really enjoy is interviewing SME and breaking down complex topics into easily digestible content. But I also understand that senior executives are busy. So I designed a process to make their lives easier while delivering exceptional results. #buildinpublic #b2bmarketing
