I was going to try this method, but would not probably go with wordpress. If someone is using wordpress I would say in 99% they would know how to install plugin and even if they did not, will they give some stranger access to their site? I would definetely not and that is the reason why I think this might work excellent if you already have clients who trusts you, but might be hard with people who never heard of you. Anyway, good luck with this.

Understand what you're saying but everyone's a stranger at first. If they had their site designed by someone else then chances are they were too once a stranger, unless a close friend/family member designed said site for them. There's always one or two who put a downer on a thread and presume it just won't work.

There are always people who will tell you it won't work :)

I can think of at least 10 people who told me I would never be able to sell $1m in sites as my first year as a broker... and guess what... I smashed that target...

Never say never.
 
Yeah. I will try this :)

But like other guy said, it would be hard for people to give me their log in data.
Or i could send them plugin to be instaled or something like that. :)

It would be strange, i send them free plugin and they instal it and i get money :D

I think maybe adding a contact phone number and your own address could swing them to trust you a little more? Anything to increase conversions!
 
The law actually is only valid in UK at the moment, no other countries in EU adopted it as far I found out. So it only works in UK. I didn't tried it out yet, but it seems like a good method, at least for the moment.

Also some plugins for Wordpress might be licensed under a license that allows modification and redistribution. Than you could change a bit of the plugin, add some own branding and send that to them :)

Actually , if that is true , then probably soon it will be on all EU , + you can get ready for that
 
Ha, WP people tech savvy? I've found so many AWFUL pages that hold together just because of the WP itself. Emailed them all of course :)

This is not true. This is not just a UK law but rather a EU wide law. If you watch the video at:
Code: 
http://www.ico.gov.uk/for_organisations/privacy_and_electronic_communications/the_guide/cookies.aspx
you will see that he tells it is EU wide and not only in the UK, just that the UK is enforcing it first.

Haha. I don't think this guy was interested.
Just used original message and Warning subject line on this one.

I know! There are so many bad ones!
 
I don't believe this is worth the efforts. You better off pitching SEO/design services instead.
 
If anyone would like to JV on this please PM me. I have a ready to go website that is extremely professional looking and established :)
 
I don't think you have to go all guns blazing with this and effectively back them into a corner to pay out. Just let them know their site could be breaking the law & to get in touch if they want you to help them out.

'Hi Bernadette, i'm just contacting you regarding your website and a new law which has been introduced within the EU which states all websites must ask their visitors to accept cookies before they can view their site. You can read about it here ... (Link). I've noticed your website doesn't currently have this option and am willing to help you out and make a few changes to your site in order to comply with the new law. Feel free to contact me should you be interested.'

Or something along those lines. You don't have to shit them up. Come across as genuine and helpful, and all may fall into place.
 
I know where to get the clients and leads but how do I do the nifty bit of actually solving their problem?

Plugin for WP - but they are tech savvy and know how to get around it

Joomla and HTML sites - don't know anything about HTML so I was wondering if there was a plugin/tool that would work these kind of sites?
 
After sending about 150 emails manually, looking up on their whois and stuff,
I've got a total of 11 replies. Only thing is that they are all declining the offer. some are saying to stop soliciting them with such emails.

That's 1 day of work.
I'll try more maybe later or tomorrow
 
How much are you charging, Faith? And what's your location..
 
hmm, people declining seem to be a problem here. Meathead, how many of the people responding to you decline your offer?
