$1,000 per month recurring revenue
I was keeping this method close to my chest for the last month or so but decided to reveal it to my black hat family because this place has provided value for the last 5 years for me. There's a lot of BS on this forum now, with spam, questions like how do I make $0.50 per day etc so I decided to provide some value for those of you who actually want to see results.
This method requires you to offer ORM services. For those of you unaware of what ORM is, it is the art of online reputation management. This type of service is needed for a lot of clients in todays day and age. There are THOUSANDS of businesses out there who have bad reputations, and this affects their business profitability.
By coming in and setting yourself as an authority who can help them reduce the negative reviews, and increase positive reviews, you are allowing yourself to start an additional source of income which supplements other services you may sell.
With this method, it requires 3 things:
1. A phone
2. Ability to cold call and generate leads
3. ORM software for review funnelling
Method
In a nutshell, this method involves the use of review funnelling. This is simply where you offer a backdoor solution for negative reviews that never see the light of day, and an entrance for good reviews, that are front and centre on Google reviews, Yelp reviews and other review sites.
What is a review funnel?
A review funnel is simply a one-page landing page with a single unique URL that businesses send customers to. A customer reviews the business service and the review gets sent out to all possible channels such as Google reviews and Yelp.
This is a super low maintenance method of generating an additional $200 per month per client doing almost zero work. You simply manage this system for them and filter bad reviews.
The best thing is, the platform you choose does the work for you.
For this method, you’ll want to outsource the work to either of these review funnel services (non-affiliated)

They cost around $100+ per month to run but all you need are 3 clients at a minimum of $100 per month to make a profit of $200+ per month. This is for the bare minimum campaign which lets you own 3 profiles. If you get more clients, you need to add more profiles which cost $60 extra per month so you’ll need to take this into account when pricing your services.
I recommend a pricing of at least $250 per month. 3 of these clients make $750 per month and with a $180 price tag per month, that’s a healthy profit of over $500+ doing absolutely nothing.
With this method alone, I’ve generated over $2,000 in MRR by cold calling local businesses with bad reviews on Google.
In my personal opinion, this is something that is much easier to sell than a high-ticket item such as SEO, but it requires a higher volume of sales for it to be profitable.
Tip from personal experience: Keep the prices for this type of service low to ensure the client doesn’t take second glances at their account. By placing it too high, clients may cancel after 2 months but by placing it lower, they may stay on for months. One of my longest clients for this service lasted 10 months before cancelling his subscription with me because he didn’t need it anymore. That was a nice little $2,000 which covered a lot of housing bills and business expenses.
