!!! UNTESTED METHOD BUT ITS A TWIST ON A TESTED METHOD !!!
!revised!
This simple method envolves selling premade websites to laser targeted buyers. Should convert VERY well. It is a spin on a similar method I found here on bhw to big credit to the OP for giving me the idea.
1. Find your buyers! Go to big G and or yellowpages and do a local search for any small to medium sized business that you don't blieve would already have a website and would benifit from a website. Examples would be doctors offices, dentists, used car dealers, etc. Use you imagination.
2. Buy the domain name that is an exact match of there business name. You don't have to do this step if your not into taking some risks as it can be considered copyright infringement.
3. Create a website using a free platform like wordpress, magento, joomla, etc. Find some nice free templetes or themes. To cut out the fluff let's just say make the site very appealing to your target using the target appropriate platform and the targets details (business name, description, phone number, etc).
4. Sell the site to your target. The most effecient I believe is to simply mail them a letter (USPS not email) using a plain envelope however you must make sure it gets noticed and not tossed in the trash as junk mail. How? Simple. Put the domain name on the front and back in big bold letters. Example: "www.doctorsofficesite.com I own your business" or "www.autoparts.com I own you". Again you dont have to use this strong arm tactic just be creative in making your junk mail stand out from all the rest.
Something like that on the front and back of your envelope will get any business owners attention. They are almost guaranteed to open it. That's when they read your letter with you offering them the sell or your/there website anywhere from $100 to $200 dollars or whatever price you set just price it according to your target. More for doctors and lawyers of course. note: you might not want to use step 2 on a lawyer
5. Go to commission junction and sign up as a hostgator affiliate, and when you have sold the site to your target make sure you provide them with your affiliate link to purchase the hosting plan. You have just earned yourself an additional $100 dollars! Cha ching!
Additional optional steps
6. Provide your target with site maintenance and seo services that you can charge them a monthly fee for.. cha ching!
7. Rinse and repeat.
If done properly with a nice sales letter clearly explaining benefits and services you could easily get great conversions as long as your target isn't a little corner store that just sells chips and juice. The key is to find the right target and clearly explain all benefits to the target you can also call to pre qualify your targets by asking anyone that answers the phone if they have a website. some companies may not have there sites listed in the yellow pages or the big G. if you happen to catch the owner on the phone when you call then by all means proceed with your sales pitch, but chances are if you calling during business hours they might be too busy and blow you off.
