Hi all,
I have a business/side hustle idea about implementing cyber security for WordPress websites and I'd like to hear your opinion about it.
I freelance as a WordPress developer/maintenee for Cyber Security company where I got to know that WordPress by default has a lot of security vulnerabilities, which bad guys use to easily hack the WP websites.
The company offers the WP security package for 450usd which takes me 1h to accomplish, so I was just thinking... why wouldn't I try to get the clients myself...
I know Python pretty well, so I created lead generation script which extracts thousands of WordPress websites which have security vulnerabilities and I could help them to fix that!
And here is the question - how to sell?
Together with domain names I of course have emails (scrapped from the websites) - that's why I was thinking about cold emailing.
I could create email generator in Python which sends personalized emails to prospects about the vulnerabilities they have on the websites - that would be already added value - free website security audit.
I don't know nothing about email marketing, so If I go for it which option would be better?
A: Sending email with PDF (security audit) as an attachment
B: Sending email with security audit as an HTML
C: Sending email with raw text
How to actually increase chances of success with email marketing?
What websites/clients should I target?
How much should I charge?
Should I use GMAIL account to send the emails?
What are your thoughts?
