Over the past few weeks on social media, especially TikTok, an invasion of the most controversial, intriguing — some may say misogynistic — man on Earth is causing men to have a rethink, and women, backlash.

And who is this man? Andrew Tate.

Although his videos contain some extreme views, there’s a ton you can learn from the man, especially about money and masculinity. It took me a while before I paid attention to him but when I did; I realized he walks his talk. I’ll explain.

In one of the videos I watched, Andrew detailed how he got into the casino industry in Romania.

A backstory…

Andrew is a British-American, former kickboxer, and multimillionaire. Now that’s sorted, here’s the story…

He overheard some colleagues talking about how rich the casino industry was in Romania. Apparently, some brothers were making north of $2 million dollars per day or so (pardon me, I forget at times) across their casinos.

He wanted in, but the brothers laughed him off and said they didn’t need him. And if you think about it critically, they were right.

Andrew neither had their level of:
° money,
° network, nor
° spoke their language.

But Andrew didn’t give up, it took him over a year of thinking but he came up with something so irresistible, that they would have felt so stupid to say no.

He agreed to open up a casino with his own money, build it in front of their competitor, and on top of that, offer a percentage of turnover; which means irrespective of whether he made a profit or not the brothers got paid.

And your guess is as good as mine, they accepted the deal.

Now, here’s how to apply this strategy as a freelancer…

1. Identify the biggest, hidden problem of your client: When pitching clients, they don’t usually know the entirety of the problem they have. For example, if you apply for a job on Upwork that requires a freelancer to create an Instagram carousel, don’t be like the 90% of freelancers who will apply to solve only that. Offer to improve their bio or create a better theme for their brand.

2. Make it hard for them to say NO: Andrew did this very well when he said, “I’ll build it in front of your competitor.” He literally said he’ll go to war for the brothers and it was hard for them to decline because they had a fall guy.

When you apply for jobs, phrase your offer in a way that reduces any risk or burden on the neck of your clients. For example, assuming you’re a copywriter specializing in sales letters, you can offer to be paid a tiny fee + % of sales and if you don’t hit a certain target they keep everything your work makes.

3. Be crazy: When giving out offers to prospects, you can’t be normal. One of the best offers I saw was on Twitter is proof. Have a look at this:

Why this worked?

- Stroke their ego.
- Look as if you have everything to lose because you actually do.
- Make it plain what they’ll gain.

P.S: I have a free freelancing guide if you would love to apply this.
