How to make $20K selling the same website TWICE!

Lol. Why can't I be smart like that and make that kind of cash. :P

Kinda mean tho, and he most definately won't be a repeat customer.

But watch out... could be a chargeback comming! $20k is a lot... lol


$20k might be a lot for you but how many companies out there spend 100's of thousands of dollars a year on IT, web and other outsourcing stuff?
There are "consultants" who make this this much just for telling their clients that they need to have a website, they need to have newsletters and maybe get a facebook, tweeter etc.
They don't even do that, they just tell them what they need to do.
A friend of mine almost signed a contract like that last week for $7k just so they tell him these things, nothing more, nothing less.
Luckily for him, I over heard him and saved him a ton of $$$.
we should all take a lesson from the OP and start pricing our services like that.
 
Kind of. You can get contract templates for software development projects in lots of places. You just need to edit them thats all. Also ensure that when you present the contract that its about 100 pages thick. That way you can ensure they won't read it. :D

wow, thats wicked. Did yourself write the contract?

completely legal and binding. As long as he signed off on the contract (notarized hopefully) then there's no grounds for suing you :)

How true - People don't read the fine print nowadays, especially when it's 100 pages.

Jinx
 
oops sorry people , i got the habit of rudyvise to enter the same post twice ;)
 
Ill remember this if i ever have to write a contract.... :)
 
Ok, heres a little story that made me $20K from a client i sold the same website too - TWICE.

Basically i made them a website for $5K. Then about 6 months after i received a call from them asking me how they could alter the website. They told me that they had hired another developer to extend the website, but the developer had said that he could not access the code because it was encrypted.

So i said to the client did he want access to the code then. At which point he said yes. So i said "so do you want to purchase the intellectual property rights to the code then?

To which he replied " "don't i have the rights to the code anyway?"

And i replied. "Not according to the contract i have with you -- no!"
"You have the right to use the website and maintain it via the web interface - but i own the rights to the underlying code". I told him that the code was copyright "my company" and that if he wanted it, it was going to cost him $20K.

3 days later he phoned back with a purchase order number and I handed over the keys to the code.

So basically i sold him a website for $5K and the code for the website for $20K.

I'm pretty sure if you got creative, you could do something far more lucrative.

:D

Who the hell buys websites for that amount of money that are made by one guy (girl...) ?
 
so he wont be a repeat customer :):)

Doesn't sound like they were going to be one to begin with since they hired someone else to extend the website and not the original designer.

Its not always about a repeat customer when you are talking large sums like this.
 
There's nothing amazing about this, unless you guys are amazed a girl admitting to doing something smart.

What's interesting is the amount paid: to a single individual, whos not affiliated with a company, for one measly site.............that was probably a re-coded template.:rain:

gonna have a convo with some of them freelancers
