One of the Best Ways to Earn $60-90K Per Year

💬 Nic Conley tweets

The biz you can start in a weekend: Outsourced local services…

If you can make a website and get on phone calls, there’s no reason why you can’t build this.

Step one…

Find a high margin in-person local service.

This can be something like photography, drone photos, closet organization.

Search thumbtack for ideas.

Next 👇

Use thumbtack again to find the contractors to fulfill the services that you sell.

The key is to find contractors who have a few good reviews, but are likely hurting for leads.

You want to find Bob who has 7 hires on Thumbtack, not Samantha with 300 hires and 50 five star reviews.

Do a search on Google for Bob and get his personal number.

Give him a call and tell him you have more business than you can handle, and you’d like to sub some of it out to him.

Get a ‘standard’ price from Bob. You’ll double his price when you sell it to your clients.

Then…

Build your local site and get a GoogleMyBusiness

Get friends to leave 5 star reviews on your Google My Business account…

📞 To generate leads…

Write a bunch of blog posts about photography in your town.

Post in local Facebook groups.

Send all traffic to a “contact us” form on your website.

When you get a new lead, call them as soon as you possibly can. Time is of the essence.

Ask them more about what they want. Once you’ve got a good idea, charge them 2X Bob’s price. That gives you 50% margins.

Of course, it’s easier said than done…

This is a bit over simplified, but I know it works because I’ve done it.

It’s straightforward, but not easy.

Last words from Nic…

Will you make $200K+/year doing this? Unlikely.

But it’s probably one of the best ways to replace a $60-$90K/year salary

We’ve featured people doing this kind of thing before 👇

So it’s definitely doable.

What services could you do this for in your local area? 🤔
