$5600 From Her Drop Servicing Biz in the First 6 Days

  • $5600 revenue from drop servicing in 6 days

This video from May Ng is from 2020 but I reckon there’s still plenty of opportunity to emulate her success…

She basically set herself up as a middle-woman 😎 providing services such as video editing, web design, SEO, etc.

May started with video editing and targeted property agents, as she had contacts in that line of work and they often need video editing services to show off their available properties.

May then found a well-reviewed video editing service on Fiverr, and copied the listing to Carousell.sg. Carousell is a goods and services marketplace for Singapore, where May is based 🇸🇬

She then took orders through Carousell, directing her property agent contacts to that listing.

After jumping on a call and sending her some work samples, one of May’s contacts signed up for the following service…

12 months premium package – $3997
– Cap at 15 videos
– Free 1x video ad promotion

She went on to sell some more packages within a few days, including SEO and web design services that clients requested from her.

After six days, she had earned $8000 Singapore dollars ($5600 USD) 🤑

Sounds like May outsourced most of the actual work to service providers on Fiverr. It’s unclear how much she paid those providers in total, but the pricing displayed for one is only $15 per video. So she probably paid just $240 USD for the package listed above, thereby earning herself a very nice profit.

All that said, don’t go thinking that drop servicing is a super-easy business. You still need some serious skills to succeed at something like this. 

Skills like…

  • Sales
  • Identifying and hiring talent
  • Project management

If you can develop and master those skills, the sky’s the limit with this business model 📈

Btw, I found May’s video via this report from Trends.vc…
