Run a content business on Studio

Cold sales scripts, outreach templates, objection handlers, and a step-by-step guide to going from zero to your first paying client using Digitalix Hub Studio as your production layer.

Step-by-step guide

Zero to first client

01

Generate your portfolio in one session

Studio → Generate

Open Studio and launch the "Client Portfolio Starter" template. Generate 6–8 editorial samples for your target niche — brand content, product imagery, or lifestyle. These are your proof of work. Send nothing until you have strong outputs.

02

Find your first 50 prospects

Outreach setup

Search LinkedIn for Marketing Manager, Brand Manager, or Content Lead at e-commerce brands in your niche. Collect their LinkedIn handle and company email. You need 50 contacts to get 5 conversations.

03

Send cold outreach with a free sample

Cold outreach

Use the email template below. Attach or link one sample you made specifically for their brand. Do not pitch a price on the first message. Get the reply first.

04

Book the discovery call

Schedule call

When they reply, send a Calendly or similar booking link. Frame it as a 20-minute 'fit call' to understand their content needs — not a sales call. Arrive with 3 sample outputs ready.

05

Close the retainer on the call

Close sales

Propose a fixed monthly package: $1,500/month for 30 finished assets, delivered in two batches. Use the margin calculator in Studio to confirm your cost before you quote. Handle objections with the script below.

06

Deliver through Studio and scale

Deliver & scale

Run every client job through the Generate → Enhance → Upscale → Refine pipeline. Use the Share button on completed jobs to send a clean delivery link directly to the client. Add clients, not headcount.

Cold sales scripts

Email template

Lead with a free sample made for their brand. Replace placeholders in brackets.

Subject: Quick idea for [Brand Name] content

Hi [First Name],

I produce AI-generated brand imagery for [niche] brands — here's a sample I made for [Brand Name]:
[attach or link one Studio output]

I can deliver 30 production-ready assets per month for a flat $1,500. No stock photos, no creative briefs, no waiting.

Worth a 20-minute call this week?

[Your name]

Copy and customize in your email client

LinkedIn DM template

For direct outreach. Use the Studio share link from a completed job as your proof.

Hey [First Name] — I made this for [Brand Name]: [link to Studio share page]

I produce AI brand imagery at $1,500/month flat. 30 assets, two batches.

Worth a quick call?

Objection handlers

On the sales call

The four objections you will hear, and how to respond to each.

"We already have a designer."

Great — I'm not a replacement. I handle high-volume AI generation so your designer can focus on strategy and bespoke work. Most teams use both.

"$1,500 is too much."

That's $50 per finished asset. A single stock photo license runs $80–200. I'm producing custom, on-brand content at a third of that cost.

"We're not sure about AI content."

Here are three samples I produced for similar brands. The output goes through enhance, upscale, and refine stages — it's not a raw generate. Happy to do a free trial batch of 5 assets.

"Can you send more samples?"

Yes — give me 24 hours. I'll produce 5 assets specifically for your brand at no cost. If you like them, we talk terms.
