Why "Warming Up" Freelance Writing Clients ISN'T Making You MONEY

Yet another great question from our community! Here it is: “I read somewhere that before sending an LOI, I need to ‘warm up’ the person I want to offer my service to. So ‘warming up’ would be a series of direct messages (if your connection request was accepted), sending them valuable articles, or anything else that brings value. And only then you send the LOI. Do you think it's really necessary? Do you even send a connection request to, let's say, the Director of Marketing?” What a fantastic question, right? This week's livestream is going over whether or not you have to (or should) warm up a potential writing client before sending an LOI, do you need to send valuable articles/info ahead of time or is this even worth it, when do you send an LOI with a potential client, and who should you send connection requests to vs. an LOI.
