[Journey] HOW I'M GOING TO MAKE AN ADDITIONAL 100K THIS MONTH

Can you break down the numbers for me? Each sequence is $45-95 and you are making $70-80k/month selling it to current clients? Is it a one time fee or are they paying you a monthly fee for the automation sequence? Are you making $70-80k every single month doing this or did you make that in a month? How much do you charge to set it up for them?

I'm trying to figure out how many clients do you have for you to make $70-80k. And did you make it in one month or are you making that much every month? You said you only offer it to current clients so are they paying a monthly fee for this automation sequence?

Roughly 6 new (full) automation clients a month. 2.4 months is the average length of time we work with each client.

The $45+ automation is basically instructions we sell to annoying cheap clients who want our social media content service but have absolutely no budget. So we sell them the "when you create your content, use this sequence to automation.....blah blah blah".

Some of them end up coming back and becoming clients. Some of them end up referring clients.

Basically , that 70k/m is not made up from them at all. It's made from actual clients, referrals and past clients wanting new work done. Right now, we're crushing it with lawyers.

Reached 70k/m last month.

We charge either a project price or retainer: ranges from $1500-9000.
 
I have something similar that I can build - but its not automation, so to speak. It's more like a funnel strategy + social media traffic strategy + what to do to make your business successful in X,Y,Z niches (ive run a SMMA for 5 years and want to branch off into education instead)

I was thinking to do the same as you and sell ebook/course

But where is the best data to target people who would buy this?

Facebook Ads? Google Ads?

LinkedIn seems pretty difficult to target for this sort of thing. Either that or I'm thinking wrong about LinkedIn target audience (which is such a small spanner in the works but yet so crucial).

Only 1 in 10 people on LinkedIn accept friend invitation. I feel like people on LinkedIn get spammed a lot. Again maybe im doing the targeting wrong. I'm so used to Instagram its becoming a detriment trying to use any other platform hahah.

Good luck this thread is great!

You can go the ebook route or you can become a growth partner...basically build it out for them for a nominal fee and then take a cut of the revenue for running it.

If you want to sell it and have no audience to sell to already:

1: social media - tik tok and insta
2:youtube ads
3: facebook ads

If you want to be a growth partner, go on linkedin. send out the first chapter (make sure it is actually good) with your contact request and focus on creating great content to attract followers.

I have an agency that does the same thing. DM me - would love to chat about it.
 
Update #2:

Presell went out this morning at 6am. 87/100 purchases made. Added a smaller ebook "How to get Automation clients today".

1 person used one method and posted his offer on LinkedIn and already has 4 buyers (trial period).

Still finishing off the other 4 ebooks. I am anticipating a lot of questions from buyers who get stuck or need clarification. Contemplating a paid telegram or skool .com group.
 
Why did you choose ebook vs membership course (recurring income)?
 
Why did you choose ebook vs membership course (recurring income)?
I like to iterate quickly. So, I didn't want to make such a major ongoing commitment to a bunch of people like a course. The prediction is that the ebook will lead to clients and others who want more directions. At that point, we can do a course although the, the only real reason I'd want to do that is to grow my access to actual automation experts i can feed leads/clients to for a cut.

The ebook was based on SOPs we already had anyway. So, it wasn't a huge labor commitment.
 
Hey cholos! It's been a hawt minute...

I've not been active on BHW a while..so, I thought I'd drop something sizzling for you. First off, 90% of you think way too small. That $100k number shouldn't scare you and it shouldn't wow you (that much).

If you remember me, I'm all about choosing the right audience and creating a vibe so they buy buy buy.

Well, oops, I've done it again...and you can too.

Okay. Funs aside...let's get to it: business automation, baby!

If you haven't gotten into this space, now is the time to do so.

Business automation is simply using tools like zapier to automate processes. (I actually prefer make.com).

I've been offering this service through my marketing agency for about 5 months as an adding for current clients but an automation agency can 100% stand on its on.

I've been selling automation sequences to cheapos who can't afford my social media marketing services. Each sequence is $45-95. (I don't sell the super complicated ones). Thet buy the sewuence, they set it up themselves 60% of the time, they come back to us to set it up for them at an additional cost. The beautiful this is that you build it ONCE and you can sell it a million times.

So, right now, we're clearing $70-80k/month just on automation and, like i said, we're only offering it to current clients.

So, how will I add $100k in a month?

*drum rooooolllll*

EBOOKS.

We have 4 books nearly complete. They are:

Building a $100k/month Automation Business
-it is currently at 780 pages and I'll probably add about 200 pages. This thing is a BEAST. It Includes 10 automation ideas and how to apply them to 70 different businesses/niches. (Yes...so thats 70x10). These core 10 is literally all you need to bank. It will be priced at $998

Ebooks 2-4 are more automation ideas and templates for 3 specific niches. This is basically a collection of 20-30 automations for each niche. Everything you'd need to target and dominate one niche completely . The niches include:
-coaches/info-entrepreneur niche
-home service business
-health and beauty services
Each one will be priced at $799

How do I know this will work? Because I always test and pre-sell to the market.

A: I sold the first ebook when it was at 550 pages for $150 to members of a marketing group i am part of. I limited sales to 10 people and 30 more begged me to sell to them. So I did.

B: I set up a presell lead gen form and opened it up to my women's business fb group. Basically "sign up for a discounted price in exchange for a LinkedIn review". I limited sign up to 250 people but told everyone only 50 people will be able to buy it at the discount price. The list was filled in less than a day. 250 people agreed to buy at $299 inexchange for a review.

The truth js, I'll probably sell it to 100 people at that price and then give those that missed out a $200 discount voucher off the full price.

The best part of selling to women...and I am allowed to say this being one myself and having immense experience selling to them, is that they end up not implementing and end up hiring me in the end. So, win win.

So, how do you get into this space? Make a free account on make.com and go at it. Practise and automate your own life/business...then start selling!

How to find clients? I'm documenting that process right now for the ebook but I love sharing...so listen (read) up! There are 10 great methods I've found...and the best part is that 8/10 of them are automated.

1: LinkedIn - my fav intro automation is social media posting. I find reputable people on LinkedIn with no/few posts. Offer them 1-2 weeks of automations for free in exchange for a review and disclaimer at the end of the automated posts. Something like "This post was created and posted automatically by agencylink". (Yes, this is automated).

Not only do many of them turn into clients but you get the free advertising to their followers and a review. Win. Win. Win.


2: automated emails. Scraping, cleaning, email drafting and follow-up is all automated.

In 90% of the case, there's no manual communication until after the client has paid

I'll provide twice a week updates.

Xoxo

Ciao for now

interesting read!
Good luck!
 
You have had a great journey. Wishing you continued success in your many journeys.
 
Are you located in the US? Do you meet with clients face to face or it is all online based?

Cheers.
 
Thank you!


Thanks!


Occasionally I have clients who want to meet face to face but it is very rare. I've personally only met with 2.

Located in USA and Canada
Thank you.

Do you have live calls with clients? I am asking because I am not a native English speaker and this could be a huge setback....
