I'm making this post as a way to document my progress and to help motivate me to stay on top of my goals.
I'm a recent high school graduate, have years experience in SEO and digital marketing. Ran a few services, made websites, freelanced for over 300 individuals, and did two digital-marketing focused internships. (Lead generation, outreach, b2b relationship management) I also have all google certifications. (Ads, fundamentals of digital marketing, analytics individual) and am aiming to get one of the career certificates soon.
Throughout my life I have always been making money by providing marketing services, probably around $6000 USD net; but I've never actually worked for businesses. I always worked for influencers, usually smaller YouTubers. My biggest past client had 400k+ subscribers.
I want to take my digital marketing experience and knowledge to the next level by working directly with smaller/medium sized and preferably family owned businesses. I'm aware that majority of a marketing agency's sales come through via referrals, but I have scraping tools to get contact information from businesses as well as find them. Inputting data and organizing it is manual though. I'll be reaching out to a bunch of blue-collar businesses that provide all kinds of services and helping them get more clients in their area. (Restaurants, Gyms, Landscapers, Therapists, etc) I will charge a monthly fee that goes directly to me, then an additional fee that the business chooses to spend on advertisements. I have a PayPal business account so I can already manage invoicing/monthly subscriptions.
I have a website fully made, and am going to spend a couple hours tinkering with it and just making it look nicer. I have google analytics tags on every page monitoring everything I can, and all URL's are being tracked to so I can see the customer journey and how people tend to interact with the site. Site is fully functional on both mobile and desktop, with a focus on mobile.
Here are my goals;
300 Leads generated/day
Contact all generated leads every Tuesday, follow-up Thursday
6 hours working on the business/day
3 phone calls/week
$1500 gross in 60 days
I know my monetary goal is possible if I dedicate myself to working and getting clients. My only concern is my ability to pitch myself and what I can do for a business over the phone, as it's never something I had to do with influencers working completely online. I'm going to watch some videos about the subject to try and get a better understanding of how exactly to market myself/services over the phone. But for now I'm going into it with 0 experience.
I'll update this post every afternoon with updates, (How many leads were generated, how much time was spent working, income) along with anything else that arises.
