I Happily Paid $200 For This

I recently hired this person to help me submit a trademark application for eBiz Facts.

She offers this as a productized service on Upwork. (Upwork added the productized service feature recently, similar to gigs on Fiverr.)

She charges $200 minimum for the service and I’d say it took her less than 2 hours to do everything. Her work and communication were excellent and she saved me lots of time/hassle, so I’m a happy client 👍

Zooming out, I reckon there are lots of productized services like this that people – especially business people – would pay for.

You just need to find something that’s a pain in the ass for people to figure out and do themselves, become proficient at it, then offer to do it for them.

Probably many opportunities for this kind of thing when it comes to business admin, research, legal filings, insurance claims, etc.

Next time you encounter a process that’s a pain in the ass for you, think about how much you’d pay someone to take care of it for you.

But don’t just think about how much you’d pay at your current income level. Assume you were earning $100k/year or more.

How much would you pay then? 🤔
