I Got a Client for a 1:1 Consultation Call

Recently, I got a consulting client. Vaibhav Bhojak, a UPSC (Union Public Service Commission) aspirant, reached out to me to discuss starting his writing journey on Medium.

We also discussed online business possibilities, YouTube, SEO, and the potential opportunities and returns of writing high-quality articles.

It was a great experience talking to him, sharing my advice, getting to know him and his future plans, and learning from his knowledge and experience.

When I started writing professionally in 2018, I never dreamed of this day.

I never thought I would get a client who would find me because of my online work.

I never thought I would have the opportunity to guide a UPSC aspirant, being a school dropout myself.

The best part,

My client didn’t judge me (unlike many who might) for not being as formally educated as he is.

He values real education and understands that one can learn outside the traditional school system or without pursuing a degree.

He understands that I worked hard by learning through practical experience, taking action, and reading articles and books.

I loved talking to him; he inspired me to keep moving forward. It was a win-win situation for us. We both learned from each other and most importantly, we enjoyed talking to each other.

I felt deeply grateful and even emotional hearing a stranger praise my work.

I’ll always be available to talk to him, and if he wants, I’ll help him for free whenever I have the time. I know I’ll also learn a lot from him in return.

Why I Don’t Sell Courses

I always try to help people for free.

I don’t create and promote products like eBooks, planners, or similar online products. I’ve always created high-quality articles and shared them for free on Inuidea.com and Medium.

I’ve never joined a pre-recorded course or bought a premium product to learn a skill. These aren’t bad either, but if you can self-educate, you should try to find free resources to learn.

I’ve done paid consultations before, but they were mainly about website design, SEO, or other online business topics with existing clients.

This was the first time I got an inbound email from a client asking for my writing advice on a consulting call.

So, I’ve decided to continue offering 1:1 consultation and coaching. I can help you with writing, monetization, online business, blogging, SEO, freelancing, sponsorships, and website design.

You’ll get my undivided attention, which is obviously better than a pre-recorded course.

Why I Prefer Consultations to Courses

A few months ago I thought about starting a course too. But now I’ll stick to just paid consultations.

Even though my recent client, Vaibhav, suggested I create affordable and valuable courses and eBooks, I’m not planning to do that right now.

I may consider creating more affordable courses or free courses in the future.

I understand that many people are willing to pay for courses and products, but personally, I don’t buy them myself. Because of this, I don’t feel comfortable accepting payments for something I wouldn’t purchase.

On the other hand, undivided attention is incredibly valuable because it allows you to learn in real-time, receive immediate responses, and engage directly in a 1:1 setting.

Someone is giving you their time, knowledge, expertise, and experience, in real time. I think it’s worth paying for someone’s undivided attention, especially if you believe they can help you learn and grow.

That’s why I recommend choosing consultations with an industry expert rather than joining a boring pre-recorded course.

Talk, learn, and grow live.
