| $51,865.00 in house painting sales in one month. Here's how I did it Posted: 30 Jun 2018 06:44 PM PDT Sharing this in the most humbled manner because about a year and a half ago, $51,865.00 would have been more than my yearly salary. And about 3 years ago, I had about $7.00 to my name. I literally stole string cheese out of the break-room refrigerator because I needed the $7.00 for dinner. Two important things I want to hit on:
Why are these two points important? Because they are defining principles that I've discovered to be critical aspects of personal growth and success in business. $51,865.00 doesn't come out of the sky. It comes through repetition, persistence, consistency, and a network of individuals who believe in your vision. I'm doing this with 5 painters. We are pacing $600,000 in sales this year. Out of that, I will net close to $175,000. (roughly 30%) Five principles that have helped my business grow:
Look, I'm writing this because I came from a place of uncertainty. I knew I could do it, I just didn't know how. I realized that selling is conveying a message, but closing is providing value. The few things I listed are simple principles. Nothing special. In the same way, you can use these principles in your current profession - be honest, communicate, treat people how you would want to be treated as a consumer and you will find immediate success. And if you just so happen to believe in yourself just enough to branch out on your own, you will already have a foundation to lean on. Thanks for reading :) [link] [comments]  |
| 6 Ways to Make a Decent Salary While Traveling the World (or Watching ‘The Office’ in Bed). Posted: 01 Jul 2018 06:58 AM PDT First of all, who am I to give advice? I went from a well paid, but incredibly boring, office job in Sydney, to now owning and running my own remote business that has allowed me to circle the world for 3 straight years while making a respectable salary. THIS IS NOT "GET RICH QUICK" ARTICLE, this is advice on how to earn a decent enough income online while traveling around the world or simply working in your pyjamas in bed while watching The Office all day (I do this once a week). I know several people will likely ask for evidence of my "success", but I am not here to sell myself or my services, so it's up to you if you want to believe me or not. I do this because I am incredibly happy and have been for 3 years, and like all people, want to leave a legacy. Perhaps this could be the start of my legacy, helping other people achieve happiness through providing helpful information? Or perhaps I just wasted a day writing this up? Time will tell. Please note: None of the below links are affiliate links, nor websites/courses I own. So here are my 6 ways to make a decent salary while traveling around the world - hopefully they serve some use to those who are thinking about making a shift to 'location independency' or 'digital nomadism'.
I took a flight from Sydney to Bali with $2,000 in my bank account and 0 job prospects. Fortunately I very quickly discovered that a lot of co-working spaces have physical job boards where entrepreneurs pin up jobs they're trying to hire for. Within a week in Bali I had picked up a social media manager role that provided me with enough money to live comfortable (in South-East Asia). How: Explore your local co-working spaces and check for job boards. When you're on holiday, check co-working spaces in the area as well. See if you can score a few jobs that equal a good salary. Tip: A lot of co-working spaces have Facebook groups where a lot of jobs are posted too. I've personally hired several people that way. This group has helped me find jobs and employees, but has now become a little too spammy, but worth keeping an eye on - https://www.facebook.com/groups/cmnomads/ Job types: Marketing, copywriting, coding, photography Resources: https://www.facebook.com/groups/cmnomads/ Capital needed: $0 Effort required: 5/10 2. Drop Ship a Product Through Click funnels I've had varying success doing this, but there are tens of thousands of people making a tonne of money this way. There are a lot of people who have tried and failed who are very negative about drop shipping and using click funnels, but let me assure you, that's likely because they've failed. I've met hundreds of people who use this method to live on the road, and I don't hear them complaining. It's low risk and can be a lot of fun, just make sure you find a reliable supplier if you go with a physical product, and don't get sucked into a paid online course - all the content you need is available to you for free. How: Carefully select a product (physical or info product) to sell online that you can drop ship directly from a supplier or create/write yourself. Create an awesome landing page/ sales funnel on Click Funnels, and put some money into FB ads to promote it. Tip: https://escapetheamz.com/ offers a free online video course on selecting products and building sales funnels. I recommend starting here. Tip 2: There are countless resources for learning how to do Facebook marketing, but I would suggest starting with Hubspot - https://www.hubspot.com/facebook-marketing Job types: Drop Shipping, eCommerce Marketing Resources: https://escapetheamz.com/ , https://www.hubspot.com/facebook-marketing Capital needed: $500+ Effort required: 8/10 3. Sell Products on Amazon through Fulfilled By Amazon (FBA) This is where I've seen the majority of my success. I've been selling on Amazon for several years now and now work with a team of 6 people (who all work remotely). FBA is the worst and best thing to ever hit the internet. Amazon service is absolutely horrible and they will close your account without any explanation, but you can also make a lot of money very fast. I did 20k in my first month of sales. I now do about 2.5 million in sales a year (although I pay myself a very modest salary, probably a lot less than 90% of the people reading this). You can run this business as passively as you choose. How: Select a product that will sell well on Amazon and isn't too competitive, expensive or complicated. Open an Amazon account ($30 I think), send your chosen product stock to Amazon and let them do the rest. Tip: The Amazing Seller, an American Dad, was my inspiration and guide. He has an awesome podcast and website with tonnes of free information on how to create a business - http://theamazingseller.com/. The education won't cost you a cent. For this with money, there are some great Amazon coaches floating around the web also, but choose wisely. Job types: Amazon Seller Resources: http://theamazingseller.com/ Capital needed: $500+ Effort required: 10/10 (worth it for the massive potential) 4. Become an online Translators I've met countless amounts of people living amazing lives traveling around the world who make money through online translation services. Obviously this requires you to be able to speak a different language, but there may be english teach jobs available online also. If you are fortunate enough to be bi-lingual+ then this could be a great way to get started if you don't mind earning a modest salary. How: Sign up on a number of translator website and cross your fingers. Otherwise, use method 1 above and check your local coworking space job board, I very often see translator jobs posted there. Here is one such website you could use - https://www.verbalizeit.com/become-a-translator/ Tip: Do some networking with people already doing this on the road. I suspect a lot of these jobs are spread through word of mouth. Post in a digital nomad facebook group to find some people who could help you out Job types: Translators, Teachers Resources: https://www.verbalizeit.com/become-a-translator/ Capital needed: $0 Effort required: 2/10 (if you can speak another language) 5. Become a Health & Nutrition Coach This is another job that is definitely "trending". I can't tell you how many health and nutrition coaches I've met this year, but they all seem to be doing very well and making a really solid living on the road. I've been looking into doing this a lot myself since I run a health and wellness brand and wanted to learn more about the science behind it all. I'm currently starting with a cheap gut health course online to see whether I will actually finish it or not which you can view here - https://www.udemy.com/total-gut-health/learn/v4/. This job mostly consists of online consultations with people around the world who are eager to improve their diet/fitness/health, so I'm sure it can be a very rewarding job if you're good at it. How: Get certified, create a basic website offering your services, put some money in FB ads to collect some clients and put them on a retainer. No shortcuts though, as you're playing with people's health. Tip: eCornell is well known for their online nutrition courses, so if you have the capital, you could fairly easily get your certification there. I'm planning on doing this Plant Based Nutrition course soon as I'm fascinated by it - https://www.ecornell.com/certificates/nutrition/plant-based-nutrition/ Tip 2: You could use your new found nutritional knowledge to create an info product and sell it using method 2 above. Job Types: Health and Nutrition Coach, Nutrition Consultant Resources: https://www.ecornell.com/certificates/nutrition/ ($1,200 a course inc. certification) Capital need: $500+ Effort required: 9/10 5. Convince Your Company to Let You Work Remotely By far the easiest option for those with an office job who are eager to work while travelling the world! There has been a monumental shift in corporate allowing their employees to work remotely, especially since the company overheads drop dramatically and they don't need to offer as many benefits. My girlfriend convinced Walmart to let her work remotely while travel the world and manage their online advertising, so if she can do it, so can you. How: Come up with a very convincing argument and have a sit down with your boss. Come armed with stats and data proving that working remotely can dramatically increase productivity while decreasing company overheads. Tip: There are a tonne of articles online that will help you build your argument. Start here - https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/30/5-tips-for-negotiating-a-remote-work-policy-with-your-boss.html Job Types: Whatever it is you do Resources: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/30/5-tips-for-negotiating-a-remote-work-policy-with-your-boss.html Capital needed: $0 Effort required: 1/10 In Summary: I am definitely guilty of over-simplifying some of the above methods, but I have included an "Effort Required" rating under each to more realistically show you the amount of work needed. Good luck out there and please, if you have any other tips or questions, please post them below :) [link] [comments]  |
| Ace Home Cleaning (Update) - 2 Weeks Since Launch Posted: 01 Jul 2018 10:48 AM PDT Previous posts: ----- Hey everyone, It's been two weeks since Ace Home Cleaning launched, and we've got some updates: Things have been feeling intangible/hand wavey in terms of what to do after launch. I find myself asking only one question in my day-to-day: how do I get more customers? There are many ways to do this, and the lack of step-by-step I had while I was still setting things up made me a bit anxious. I decided to stop thinking about what the right way of doing it should be and just start experimenting. Marketing Experiments Created Yelp and Facebook pages Thumbtack - Spent $85 the first week, got a ton of inquiries but no customers. Each lead cost me around $15 and I think many were fake. I figured this wasn't effective and uninstalled the app. Yelp - Created a Yelp page and decided to budget $450 toward Yelp ads, plus $75 to remove competitor ads (they had a $300 credit promo). This has generated a ton of inquiries and 2 bookings. Google Adwords - Budgeted $300 for the month and created one ad with 4 variations. Not sure if it's doing anything though. I see the amount of views and clicks, but haven't gotten any inquiries or bookings. Craigslist - I've been responding to cleaning requests every 2-3 days (there aren't many) and haven't been getting much response. Also posted our cleaning services, but haven't gotten anything either. I imagine it's because there are many other cleaning services listed by individual cleaners that are much cheaper. Business cards - Got some of these these printed so I could talk to local leasing companies and drop them off. - At this point, I've decided to discontinue all paid advertising/lead generating except Yelp. I don't want to burn a hole in my pocket and I don't want ads as a comfort zone keeping me from dealing with SEO. It's not financially sustainable nor a long-term solution. ----- SEO Note to self: stop procrastinating on this because it's daunting. Read Google's starter guide and start a course on Treehouse. ----- Customers - 4 Bookings I've had four bookings so far. Two of whom were my friends, and two generated off Yelp. After my friends got their free cleanings from my star cleaner, I asked them both to write me a Yelp review. After these reviews posted, a ton of inquiries started coming in! Surprising because there were competitors in the area with many more positive reviews. The first customer called on a Sunday for a 4 bed / 3 bath standard clean for the next day. She talked about a bad experience with her previous cleaners, and really wanted someone who was detail-oriented. She also asked me about the process of cleaning and which chemicals we used - which I only knew a tiny bit of! Regardless, she wanted to lock down the booking first and I told her our cleaner will give her a call to talk about her process in more detail. Lesson learned - talk to cleaner about her cleaning process so I don't end up a dear in headlights when customers ask questions. I was also a little nervous because she sounded particularly picky. Monday came and went. I gave her a call on Tuesday asking how it went and she said she'd give it a 90% (cleaner forgot to sweep master bedroom floor but did a great job on everything else). I offered to stop by and fix it, but she said it's fine. First job - success! I also asked my cleaner how it went, and she said she worked closely with the customer to make sure she was happy. The next day, another customer messaged me through Yelp for a 3 bed / 1 bath move-out cleaning. I responded back with a quote but didn't get an answer. I shrugged it off and figured he probably went with someone else. The next morning he called but I couldn't respond due to being in a meeting. When I finally called him back early afternoon, he'd already gone with another service! He mentioned he even started filling out my booking form. I guess he called with booking questions. Lesson learned - always follow up with a call ASAP. I should've called the day of the inquiry instead of waiting till the next day. A few days later, another customer messaged me through Yelp for a 3 bed / 2 bath move-out cleaning. I messaged back a quote and again, no response. The next morning, I decided to give them a call because I didn't want to make the same mistake of losing a potential customer. It turns out they were still interested and they ended up booking for the upcoming weekend! I was very happy and assigned it to my cleaner. The day before the cleaning, my cleaner told me she couldn't do it. My heart sank because I didn't have any back-ups. I called the customer, apologized profusely, and asked to reschedule. Luckily, she was very understanding and we rescheduled for the following Tuesday. ----- Cleaners After the scare with my cleaner backing out last minute, I ramped up the recruiting. I set up meetings with 2 cleaners this week after talking to them over the phone. One sounded okay, and the other sounded promising. I'll have them clean my friends' houses again as a trial. Having 3 reliable cleaners to start would be a dream. ----- Website Updated services and pricing to include things other than a standard clean (deep, move-in / move-out, post-construction). Added Intercom (the chat app) so customers don't hit a wall when they land on the site and have no one to talk to. Lots of anticipated work here following SEO research. ----- As always, please share your thoughts and feedback! This was longer than I expected so thanks for sticking around. I'll be back with a 2-month update. [link] [comments]  |
| Which domain would be better for my business? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 02:26 PM PDT Hey All, I would like some advice on which would be a better fit for our company. Disclaimer: I am using fake (but very similar) domain names to prevent scalpers from taking it. Our full business name is Gray Ship Transportation under a Gray Ship LLC Currently, I purchased 'grayshiptransportation.net' because the .com domain was taken by a scalper selling websites for thousands of dollars. The domain is the exact same name as our business but I feel is quite long. There is another domain available which is 'grayship.net' a much shorter domain. However, grayship.com is taken by another company but this company is completely different line of business and is servicing a completely different country, so there is no possibility of confusion and stumbling across a competitor. So, should I go for the longer .net domain that is the full name of our company + no active .com site OR go for the much shorter .net domain but does have an active .com site (albeit, unrelated in our industry) Thanks in advance!

| Posted: 01 Jul 2018 08:18 AM PDT I have a online store of high quality sweaters, the most products price are 200$. So i will do a promotion but i don't know which of both could attract more conversions? [link] [comments]  |
| Anyone in the POS industry, I have a question. Posted: 01 Jul 2018 01:18 PM PDT A buddy of mine, his best friend works in the Point of sales industry doing installs. From what I have noticed, this guy seems like he is making tons of cash. So, I was talking to my friend and he told me something after a few drinks, which I can't see to be true or not. He said, instead of the credit card companies taking the fees for every swipe, he gets those fess instead, pretty much, stealing the fees from the credit card companies. 1) This sounds like a great way to get prison time. 2) Is this something that can be done, or just some BS? I would imagine you would need to program the POS or something to send the fees to you instead of the credit card companies? [link] [comments]  |
| Suggestions for website for a cleaner business (UK) Posted: 01 Jul 2018 12:57 PM PDT Hi all, I have offered to help a friend out by setting up a website for her new cleaner business. It will be very basic, mostly just info, a page for reviews etc. I may need to add a widget for booking appointments at some point. I'm hoping for suggestions on which platform to use for the site. I use Wix for my own site and I know it can do everything I need, but it may be overkill as the majority of things available will not be used, so I'm wondering if there's another simple, cheap platform that I could look at. I will be doing some research on google but I always prefer to read peoples opinions Thanks in advance [link] [comments]  |
| Apparel company with custom dyed color skus vs traditional inventory Posted: 01 Jul 2018 12:44 PM PDT Hi! I'm currently in the early stages of starting a basics apparel company (shirts, hoodies and sweats mostly). I'd like to offer a wide range of color skus and I'm finding out that this is tough to accommodate with minimum order quantities imposed by manufacturers for each color skus. I've calculated that custom dying (by hand) would cost about $0.75 per item exclusive of my own labor cost. I'm wondering if getting all my apparel in undyed cotton and then custom dying each piece to the preference of my potential customer would be a viable strategy. I haven't been able to find another company that offers this outside of individual sellers on Etsy. I'm aware that I'd have to be diligent in developing an effective system for the dying process so that it wouldn't be too time consuming. My main question is, is this an inherently bad idea? I know the concept would come with it's own set of challenges, but I'm more curious to know if there's any glaring issues with this model that I'm not recognizing. Thanks for your help!

| Over $9,000 in sales last month with hardly any setup [Earnings Proof Included] Posted: 01 Jul 2018 10:46 AM PDT Almost a year ago I decided I wanted to start making money on the weekends by helping people move. I signed up for a website called moving helper. It's a Marketplace owned by Uhaul for movers to advertise their services MovingHelper works almost like Uber and with a click of button you can have a set of movers show up to your doorstep. Everything is provided for the mover like the truck and equipment so all the movers do is provide the labor. It's that simple. My first month I had just over $2000 in sales. My only expense was gas and my helper which I paid $12/hr Business continued to grew and I just closed last month with over $9000 in sales. Moving season has just begun and I expect sales to keep increasing. I've branched out and started advertising through other channels for as low as $5 and get a really good return for the amount of jobs I get out of it. I plan on releasing a course to help others do the same. The only thing you need is the ability to do heavy lifting or know someone that can. [link] [comments]  |
| What does a "Good" Balance sheet look like? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 10:44 AM PDT I recently incorporated a business that was running for several years as a sole proprietor. Just started to use a proper accounting software (wave) and now can generate a number of reports. I am wondering how my numbers stack up in the grand scale of things.

| Following up with multiple contacts over business deals, how to manage Posted: 01 Jul 2018 06:39 AM PDT Hello, I have multiple contacts with various different stages of deals that I'm trying to keep up with, the contacts are too many to deal with just an email software (about 600) and a CRM seems like an over kill. Is there a software that can deal with that? showing emails timelines, setting stage for each contact without the complexity of a CRM? [link] [comments]  |

Posted: 01 Jul 2018 09:07 AM PDT I'm creating a search engine for products so I need to crawl shopping sites like Jet, Amazon, Target and post links to products contained in their pages.

| Posted: 01 Jul 2018 08:45 AM PDT About a month-and-a-half ago I started a hobby where I find really cheap flights and send them out my family and friends. Things started accelerating much faster than I anticipated, and now I have just passed the 300 subscriber mark from people all across the country. So far, I have not spent one penny on this, but I realize that if I continue on this trajectory that I am going to have to start spending some money soon. So my question to you is at what point should I convert my model from completely free to a "freemium" model to help cover my costs? I've arbitrarily thought I should convert at 1,000 subscribers. But I don't know what percentage to think will pay for a paid version at $2-3 per month. It'd be nice to start out with $100/month (I like small but acheivable goals). I know my site is not designed well right now (it is free after all) but if you need a visual reference for what I'm talking about, it is https://thewrightflight.wordpress.com/ [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Jul 2018 07:31 AM PDT I have multiple online businesses ( think apps/services ) that I am running myself and I want to officially register these businesses to grow them further. Since I am the sole proprietor, it doesn't make sense to a rent physical space. So going for virtual office address seems to be perfect. But I am wondering whether it is possible to register a single virtual office under the placeholder name such as "ABC Labs" instead of registering multiple virtual offices for each product/service. The advantage that I am looking for is a single point of contact address / phone number and Tax ID and Bank account to be used across all the products/services. Also, for the case of collecting payment via paypal or other services via the online business, it will avoid the headache of managing multiple paypal and bank accounts, registered for each business. Any thoughts? [link] [comments]  |

| Posted: 01 Jul 2018 05:53 AM PDT I am entering my third month of trading, I run a subscription business and am currently struggling to find what i am looking for in the accounting world and would appreciate any advice. Basically, I would like to retrospectively track my business' accounts. I.e. How many subscriptions I have each month, how much each subscription cost me to fulfil, advertising spend, gifts and promo spend, etc Each of the accounting softwares I have signed up to are tailored to traditional retail or estimation and invoicing works (construction style), which do not do what I would like. I do not mind if this is a spreadsheet or a program (I use a mac) I would just like to track what I'm spending and how much each subscription is costing me. If you can point me in the direction please do. At the moment I'm winging it and it's just causing unnecessary stress [link] [comments]  |
| What’s the best way to monetize video footage? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 01:41 AM PDT Apologies if this is the wrong sub for this question. I run a food related business in Thailand. Recently I decided that I wanted to do a fun video featuring a vendor or restaurant I work with just to get some good content that I could turn into a 3-5 minute video, then have footage left over that I can turn into shorter clips for social media, etc. There are some decent sized "food platforms" here that do videos occasionally but they're boring and have no personality. They also usually showcase high end hotels and buffets that your average tourist here doesn't care about or can't afford (they know what hotel food looks like... they've seen lots of scenic beach shots already...). I have really strong relationships with my restaurants and the local community so I feel I can create something more fun, interesting and organic. The other day I hit up a celebrity acquaintance to see if he and his friends would be back any time soon and if I could bother him to join in on some video shenanigans. He said yes and here I am, with about 6-7 weeks to plan something. I have access to professional filmmakers/editors and experience storyboarding and directing/editing videos. My company's cost will probably be 500 USD total for a day of filming + editing. My concept is pretty simple: This dude and all of his friends are giants with great personalities. One of my restaurants is launching a burger challenge so I was thinking I'd have them do it because... well it's a bunch of big ass dudes eating an insane amount of food so why not. Plus the restaurant gets some promotion and I can shop that around to others. So my question is, how could I begin monetizing footage like this? YouTube? I'm not sure about this video in particular but I have lots of other people I can get involved as I go, and really cool locations to film (still centered around food) that would set my platform apart. But I'm not sure how to get a return on the filming budget. Of course I am doing my own research but if anyone has some advice I would greatly appreciate it. I'm already working on sponsorships but just curious about how internet monetization works. [link] [comments]  |
| Before starting, I need your feedback on my new startup idea for small businesses. Posted: 01 Jul 2018 04:58 AM PDT Hi, I am a website creator, web developer and entrepreneur for a long time, I created more than 100 website with my team, and now I work on Interactive 3D websites. These sites are designed to attract customers' attention, and now I want to create a platform or CMS for these sites, interactive ads or presentations. I do not want to sell anything to you, just need your opinion. Such sites cost a lot of money and, what I suggest, are templates for such websites, where you can easily build the components you want, upload your 3D object and everything else. I have a lot of ideas (VR, AR) on it, I know every small details of this business and I need your feedback. Would you like to get such a website or an interactive presentation for a relatively low price, like wix or other services (In future). It is more oriented-to small businesses, ecommerce and kickstarter companies. You may have a physical product or may be planning to launch a kickstarter company and want to display your product in 3D mode, want to show your story or simply attract customers. This may not be the main website, just the presentation, or the heating of a customer coming from advertising (It's more about marketing I think). Please tell us what kind of business you have and would you be interested in such an interactive presentation, VR or website (how much you are willing to pay for such a service), or idea is shitty? Need your feedback, maybe you have any suggestions? My demo websites (for now only desktop): For now It is just a basic demo. In future I can show some more demo versions. Other sites created by some agencies (We are striving for such a result): http://festival.lattexplus.com/ http://opencontinents.com/?stars=1 [link] [comments]  |

Now question is, what is the profit margin like in food business? when will I break even if I spend 200k upfront. How do I find supplier for good price [link] [comments]  |
| Entrepreneurs with more than 1 business - when did you start your 2nd business? Posted: 01 Jul 2018 04:57 AM PDT I'm currently running a (so far) successful clothing business that's been doing relatively well for being 2 years old. It's now my main occupation, and I have 5 employees who work with me. With that said, I want to start another business - but I just don't know when the appropriate time is to start allocating my time and resources to this 2nd business. How did you start your 2nd business, and when did you know it was time to? I'm having trouble finding the motivation to start the 2nd one when my 1st is still doing well. So I guess the other question is - how did you find the motivation to start the 2nd when your first was already performing so well? Thanks! [link] [comments]  |
