Hey biz

I’m going to document my journey as I try to make 20,000 USD in 30 days.

I was inspired by the other Anon who posted his thread and decided I would make my own. Now before I go any further in detailing my plan for this thread or my method of making the 20,000 I’d like to rebuke some statements I know I’ll be receiving in the incoming replies.

“We don’t need these shitty threads to spam our board faggot, 4chan isn’t your personal blog”

And you’re right, sort of. I am not spamming, this is merely an “experiment” that I hope will spice up this board a bit. Most posts on this board consists of the following threads.

“How do I get rich?”

“Is college a scam?”

“How do I get into an ivy league uni with my 2.0 GPA”

“Memecoin to the moon”

“Should have majored in STEM”

You get the picture. This board is quite redundant and most of these questions should have been addressed in the poorly maintained sticky. (Why the fuck don’t we have a proper book list?)

So what am I bringing to this board?

Motivation, I hope, or proof to you lazy NEETs there is no money to be made out there. We will see what my bank account looks like at the end of the 30 days.

Now let’s talk about making money!

The overall business plan is to sell Web design, SEO, and social media marketing services.

I’m not really a “designer” but I understand enough to get by and I will be utilizing templates. Any custom adjustments I should be able to handle, if I can't I’ll just outsource those portions to those who can that charge a decent price I.E college students.

My main focus will not be on the product per say I will be targeting a demographic that will just need basic homepages with very minor “features”.

Day zero Objectives:
>Build website
>Proofread site and make adjustments to copy
>Build a list of 700 businesses to call for day one
>Write sales script
>Write email template
>Purchase web templates to show clients (small budget 60 bucks)

Ideas for later sales once I have money:
>Purchase 50 dollar tablets and install templates on them and mail to clients
>Handwrite a sales letter
Once the client receives the tablet and sees the templates I receive an email alerting me to the client opening the sites. I call them the next day offering my services.

If I’m missing anything guys let me know. Day one will be just me calling all day trying to make some sales.

So I'm going to spend the next couple hours building the call list. Then I'll work on the site.

The reason I'm doing it in this order is because I want to frame my site in a certain light. In example let's say 50 percent of my customers are southern plumbers, I'll keep my design simple and my descriptions brief and to the point and use language that fits their "culture" along with images related to the region to make them feel more "warm".

Plan on working till till around 4pm then take a quick lunch break and then work until 10PM.

I will be watching the GOP Debate though so who knows how focused I'll be around 7-9 but I hope to have the site done by then and just working more on my list so it shouldn't be a problem.

Already bought the hosting and the domain earlier and have skype credits so I'm good on everything as far as I can see. Also registered my business with the state so everything should be legal.

Not to worried about the cash though if I run into a issue, the first sale should cover anything I need in the future.

I'm thinking during the weekend I might call up a bunch of wedding planners and offer to partner with them. Any sales they can make on my sites they split 50/50 with me. Since things related to weddings are quite inflated I bet I can bring in at least a few grand from that assuming I contact 1000 planners and maybe 10 or some from that 1000 are interested. Of course the numbers may be higher or lower.

I'm feeling my clients out. If I feel the client can afford 2k+ I'll sell it for that. If I feel the client can only pay 500-800 I'll do it for that price as well.

Dude you know as much as me right now, in fact more. WTF is CMS? Just get on the phone and call people and sound confident.

In my experience most businesses don't even have everything as fully fleshed out as you think they do. But if you act like you know your stuff and are able to sell them on the need for your product you will be able to make money no matter what you're selling.

I have zero experience in web design, never tried to sell a site in my life but I feel that it doesn't really matter. As long as I act the part I will sell sell sell. The only thing holding me back is my self doubt. Once you get past that the money will COME.

Look at steve jobs.... Man didn't know shit about computers but was able to build the biggest empire of tech due to his amazing ability to never give up and to sell sell sell.

Yeah the plan is to buy some wordpress layouts once I make my first sale.

The reason why I'm using the cheaper HTML/CSS templates is due to my lack of funds right now. (only working with 60 bucks on a theme site)

Pretty much I'm thugging it out until that first sale which should then give me enough capital to pay Indian workers to do the list building and also to build the wordpress sites once I make the sales.

So in the end all I do is sell and nothing else.

Hey bud, the fear you feel will dissipate by the 10th call. Just gotta get over that shit. Fear will fuck your entire life up if you let it.

I'm working on my sales script later tonight but I think saying web "engineering" and working from a more expert angle will work a lot better than saying "web designer".

Engineer has more of a kick, a designer sounds more like a snotty kid who smokes pot and clicks around in Photoshop.

The reason I'm using the word engineer is to try to limit the amount of "I can have my son make my website for me..." Type responses.

Also I'll introduce myself as the "founder" who has a decade of "web" experience under his belt.

confused. why the hell would people pay so much for a site? there are places you can create sites for free, and have them hosted for free.

where are your sites going to be hosted? they need at the very least a vps, which will need to be paid for all the time the sites are active. you'd either need to just chuck the customer a bunch of code and tell them to host it themselves, or have them pay you a monthly hosting fee. you'd also have to admin all of the sites, or the moment something goes wrong, they'll be expecting you to fix it.

I don't think OP will have any success but from what I understood he basically tries to sell web design to stupid people.

I think OP is just looking for small business or shops that already have a basic website and sell them "professional web design". Think about a hair dresser with a crappy website that basically contains their prices and contact info.

OP's "service" than consists of applying some pre-made design templates he got for free or very cheap and put in the information.

As I said earlier I do actually think this idea could work on a small scale because I know enough people who own a small shop and have no idea about any of this and i could see them paying up to $200 for a service like this.

But of course OP is bat shit insane and thinks people will pay him at least $700 and up to $2500.

>> No.941264

>>941240
700-2500 isn't unrealistic for sites with some functionality; i.e. embedded video, user accounts, scheduling, custom forms are things that users ask for. I once wrote a traffic school site that had some pretty elaborate timer stuff going on.

Go back to your stock trading.

Why are any of you on a biz board? Clearly, none of you have ever ran a fucking business. I do own two small service businesses and am friends with others in similar industries thru the local BNI group. OP is doing the basics of business. Finding a need and filling it. Not everyone gives a shit about the cheapest price nor do some people want to fuck with building their own site. There are hundreds of large, expensive web design firms that charge exorbitant amounts because people will pay.

Also, small business does not always entail 1 man show. By federal definitions many small businesses can be between 100-1500 employees with up to $150 million in revenue depending on the industry. So no, not every small shop will want his services, but they'll say no. Do you think $500-2000 is a drop in the bucket to most businesses and that's who he can target.

I think it's more a matter of time. I'll spend 5 minutes a day shitposting, but I make enough money that I don't need to hustle for more. But yeah, OP go hustle. Life is what it is, keep it up.

>> No.941878

Forgive me if I am wrong, but I think many of you are missing what OP is trying to do. He has seen a problem and is going about his way to fix it. He isn't selling them a template, he is selling them his service of a fully hosted, ready to roll out website for their company, not just throwing them a bunch of code and saying have fun! I believe the way he is going about it, is finding businesses already that have websites, but are utter crap, thrown together quickly and the appeal isn't there. This is his many selling point, to attract more customers.

If his sales tactics go right, I think this is plausable. You fail to plan, you plan to fail. OP has set a benchmark target of what he wants to achieve. Where this is achievable or not, depends on how dedicated and how many man hours he is willing to put in.

I run a pub and my site is absolutely shit house, but I don't have the time to sit there and make a site, I have more important things to do. I have sourced quotes etc from over 10 designers and none have come under $3000(australian). All I want is a homepage with about sections, what's on etc. Nothing crazy. So as far as your sales, I believe you are on point there and fair with what you are offering.

I will be watching to see how this all develops. Good luck OP! I might hit you up for a site ;)

OP hasn't been completely open about what services he will offer, he hasn't said anything about hosting either.

Here is what he said:

>The overall business plan is to sell Web design, SEO, and social media marketing services.

>I’m not really a “designer” but I understand enough to get by and I will be utilizing templates. Any custom adjustments I should be able to handle, if I can't I’ll just outsource those portions to those who can that charge a decent price I.E college students.

>My main focus will not be on the product per say I will be targeting a demographic that will just need basic homepages with very minor “features”.

So he says he is not a web developer and his skills are limited to basically using web templates and basic html/CSS for adjustments. He hasn't said anything about "SEO, and social media marketing services".

OP also said he basically has to make one sale per day. Now what service could he possibly offer that he could complete in one day?

>> No.942903

Actual web developer here. (with real coding experience: html, css, php, javascript, jquery, json, sql, objective-c, swift)

You are on the right track, OP, but are making a lot of assumptions because your lack of knowledge and experience. One thing I will agree with is that it is possible to create a business out of basic web design but not to the extent that you imagine. You would be surprised how savvy most of your client base is and how little the majority will pay for a basic web site. Even the tech illiterate know that it is super cheap and easy to use basic templates or a service like Wix or Weebly for a small fee to get a site up and running. A buddy of mine who graduated with a bachelors degree in web design from a trade school finds it incredibly hard to find freelance work that pays well. Reason? Tech schools push out so many web designers that they have become a dime a dozen and they flooded the market doing exactly what you are attempting to do. Small businesses are already inundated with tons of sales calls from fresh college grads offering the same service for much much less.

Any small business that does not do the most basic of research or shopping around when tasking someone to do their website deserves not to be in business. Although you seem to be geared towards sales, you seem to lack any real web design (and no web development) skills. So maybe that is what you should do. Team up with someone who actually does design and build websites for a living and you handle the sales and commission them out and take a small percentage off the top. I hate to tell you though, but you are going to make very limited sales and profit off of basic sites. You need at least some type of extra functionality or customization to justify charging any more than a hundred bucks.

In your opinion, which skill market isn't flooded?

>> No.942928

>>942905

not the web developer guy but

That's the tricky part. It's not about which skill market isn't flooded. It's about finding a novel way to do something that's already there and milking that until other people catch on. (See: Viral blogs, what op's attempting to do and so on)

>> No.942930

>>942905
There are a lot of skill markets that aren't flooded, and you can spot them by the higher salary earnings (web design as a career in my area typically pays about $15 an hour). Best way to research it is to go on a site like glassdoor. You may need to adjust downward 5-10% as it can be unrealistic at times. Ultimately, it really depends what field you want to be in and how much schooling and cost you want to invest to learn it.

OP here.

Script was finished.
Since I'm crazy I decided to spend the day calling.
Out of 150 calls got a 'yes' from about 2/3
2/3 of those ready to pay, the rest need time to think/want to meet with me to talk things over.
My accounts receivable is growing. About $56,000 are coming my way. Fucking incredible.
To those who said 30 days is impossible - I get paid in advance, and set project due dates well beyond 30 days. The goal was to make 20k appear in my bank account in 30 days. Not make enough websites in 30 days to make 20k.

2/3rds of the people you call willing to pay for an outrageously overpriced basic website on the spot without even getting other quotes or even doing the bare minimum of research? All this from 1 sales call? And over 2/3rds people don't hang up on you immediately when they realize you are a telemarketer?

Sorry guys been busy, can't believe this thread is still up....

First 2 days I made 3k and have a couple clients wanting to talk on Monday.

BTW I made like 700 calls each day and have been working 18 hour days since day 0.

So yes this shit is possible, it just takes a shit ton of effort.

I've been spending the weekend working on some online marketing stuff so I don't have to cold call as much hopefully.

Anyway I'm not going to be posting on here anymore, just a waste of my time. You guys are something else....

You made 700 calls each day, and made some sales. Let's assume you made those 700 calls and didn't make a single sale, and it takes 1 minute to look up the number, dial, pitch, and get rejected. That's about 11 hours and 40 minutes of calling. I'm calling bullshit.

I skimmed your thread. I want to believe but, I used to do some cold calling myself. Even making 100 calls is very draining and very time consuming.

Also, hardly any people on earth will cut a check without meeting someone in person, (when it comes to a service business deal)

Anyway, if you are real, you should post some timestamped proof on this site. If not, I'm just gonna chalk you up as another /biz/ liar.

it is almost certainly bullshit

a good salesman will often make somewhere between 100 and 150 calls a day and will get people talking, get them to open up

you go much beyond that and it means far to many people are slamming the phone down the moment you so much as open your mouth
