Based on thousands of Iman Gadzhi students who failed:
| Pitfall | Fix | |--------|------| | Changing niche every week | Stick with 1 niche for 90 days. | | Building website before first client | First client → website later. | | Charging too low ($500/mo) | Raise to $2k minimum. Low price = low respect. | | Doing fulfillment yourself | Outsource by month 2. | | No case study | Do first client at discount for a testimonial, then charge full price. |
The #1 killer: Inconsistent outreach. You send DMs for 3 days, get no reply, and quit. Iman’s rule: Outreach is a numbers game. 30 days of consistent DMs = minimum 1 client.

Iman teaches outcome-based offers. Example:
“We get you 20 qualified leads from Facebook Ads in 30 days, or we work the next month free.”
Your offer structure:
Hot tip: Iman’s “blitz” strategy – offer a 14-day “test run” at 50% off to prove results, then raise prices.
The S.H.O.T. model is a service delivery framework. Most beginners fail because they sell "likes and follows." Gadzhi teaches you to sell a system.
