Hello guys,
-------------------------------------
Introduction
-------------------------------------
I am from a 3rd world country but I speak and write English language well. I know how to design websites using WordPress and especially the Genesis Framework (I love it cos of it's code structure and the fact that it is always clean. I work with other PHP framework like Laravel fairly well too.
------------------------------------
GOAL
------------------------------------
To earn consistently from Web design business a minimum of $3k per month in 6 months that's by targeting businesses in Tier 1 countries by outreach and follow up.
------------------------------------
THE PROCESS
------------------------------------
Outreach
I will be targeting a specific niche (like doctors, lawyers) in a local area then I will first send them a text message with an offer for a free website - this is to build my portfolio. I have other websites I have created but they are for my country and I don't want this to impact my chances so I will be starting out clean. 1 free website will be given to a business and they will handle the hosting and domain.
I should start with out reach to 100 businesses per day I think.
I need a good solution to outreach via text, if you know any please recommend (the cheaper the better).
Goal Breakdown
Month 1 - $300
Month 2 - $1000
Month 3 - $1500
Month 4 - $2000
Month 5 - $2500
Month 6 - $3000
Why Just $3000
I will be reaching out to prospects coldly so I assume this is harder than walking into a meeting with them but I want to make it as realistic as I can so it is achievable.
Services To Be Provided
Website Design (Major focus)
OnPage SEO
Error Fixing
Facebook Advertising
Social Media Management
Web design is the main focus and the remaining will be added as upsells so I hope I make enough.
Tools I will be using
WordPress CMS
Canva for quick designs
Elementor (Normal Clients) and Genesis Framework (High End Cliente)
SMS Outreach (Please Recommend one)
-------------------------------
CHALLENGES
-------------------------------
I have a couple of challenges but they will serve as a learning curve for me.
1. How do I send cold sms outreach? I am thinking of using an app like TextNow or TextPlus but there's no option to import multiple numbers, I want to use a service like this so I can be contacted by text and calls.
2. Accepting Payment.
How will I accept payment without revealing my location? Most people want to use Paypal but unfortunately I can't so maybe I should use a stealth Stripe account or just have someone collect the Paypal payment and send to me.
This thread birthed this idea in me. I will be glad if @jonsnow2019 @yakuzaemme and @thegoldeneye can please follow this thread and drop their advices.
--------------------------------
UPDATE

P.S: If you have any tool that can help me find leads better please recommend them to me.

I will like to update this thread daily (I hope that's not to much)
