Awe Remote Worker,
It's that simple.
Cold emailing.
Most people HATE it.
"What do I say?"
"What if they ignore me?"
"What if I sound desperate?"
I get it.
I felt the same way.
But here's the thing: cold email is how most remote workers get their first 5 clients.
Not job sites.
Not networking events.
Not building a personal brand.
Direct outreach.
And if you use the right template, it works.
Here's the one Mongezi used:
SUBJECT: Quick idea for [Company Name]'s Instagram
Hi [First Name],
I've been following [Company Name] on Instagram and noticed your engagement could be higher, especially on Reels.
I would love to create 5 sample Reels for [Company Name] to show you what's possible.
No charge. No obligation.
If you like them, we can discuss working together. If not, you've got free content.
Either way, you win.
Interested?
[Your Name]
[Portfolio Link]
Why this works:
✅ Specific (not "I can help your social media")
✅ Offers value first (5 free Reels)
✅ Low commitment ("no obligation")
✅ Addresses location (South Africa = cost-effective + timezone overlap)
✅ Portfolio link (proof they can deliver)
Mongezi sent this to 60 small businesses.
12 responses
7 discovery calls
3 clients
His first client paid him R5 000 for one month of content.
Here's the truth:
You don't need a massive audience.
You don't need to be famous on LinkedIn.
You don't need 10 000 Instagram followers.
You need 3-5 clients.
And direct outreach is the fastest way to get them.
On Monday, I'm opening up enrollment for something I've been working on for 6 months:
The Remote Income Starter Stack.
It's the complete system, everything I've been teaching you over the last 3 days, packaged into a step-by-step 14-day action plan.
The same system that helped:
Mongezi built a portfolio with zero clients and got his first gig in 11 days.
I'm only opening 50 spots.
Keep an eye on your inbox on Monday.
Enjoy your weekend.
Asambe.
