00:00:00 — How Angus's cold email led to his job running Ali's business

  • ★★★ Almost three years before, as Ali was starting to need help, his friend Angus sent him a cold email saying he loved his content, was a writer and asked if Ali needed help writing; Ali hired him for a few days a week in January 2020. — 00:00:00 · Angus
  • ★★ When Ali hired Angus in January 2020 he had about 400,000 YouTube subscribers and his business made about £100,000 a year; about three years later Angus manages the whole business, which has around 30 times the revenue. — 00:00:00 · Angus
  • ★★ Ali says all this, and many fun experiences together, came about only because Angus bothered to send a cold email, when he could easily have decided it was not worth it. — 00:00:29 · Angus
  • ★★ Ali urges viewers to send more cold emails: many people need help, and a nice message explaining what you can do might lead them to hire you. — 00:00:29
