    One of the easiest ways is to think: Which niches do you see already spending money on digital marketing/advertising? That's fairly straightforward to determine just by watching the ads, Groupons, etc. Once you have a few niches in mind, do some searches, see what comes up both organically and...

    Yes to FB ads. Not sure I understand your second question but I'm focusing a lot of home services and lead costs depend but they're profitable.

    Not really. I tried a little at the very beginning of my agency in 2010 but it felt too spammy to me. Besides, I didn't have the upper hand because I was approaching them. I've seen others have success with cold calling/appointment setters but I've never dabbled in that. Now, with a few...

    Amen! Fantastic post! I got off social media a while back because I was tired of the manipulation. And as far as forum's go, this is literally the only one I value. MJ has created a great community through quality content.

    You've listed some potential challenges in Italy. And like you already quoted me on, if they don't see the need, then you've got to move on to those who do - even if it means looking outside of Italy. But first, are there any businesses in Italy that are actually marketing online? If so, who...

    I don't know all the specifics with how you've connected with business owners, but at the fundamental level, that's what you need to do - have conversations with business owners interested in your services. The more conversations, the faster you'll grow your business. There's always...

    However you set up the financial side of things (to be able to take payment as a business) is up to you but those steps that you listed would generally work to get started, yes. Regardless of how you decide to do it, you need a business bank account, be able to take payment (preferably online...

    I said that in the very first post I made in this thread which I can't believe was in 2018! I've been happy to update the thread over the years as questions have come in. But also, part of me feels like what I listed out was too complicated. Like, it gave people too much to think about, learn...

    1 - Disclaimer: I'm not a legal professional. I'm just a random dude. But at least for US companies, starting out, there's a trend to LLC's for the flexibility. Again though, how to make the first sale should be the most important question when first starting out. 2 - If you're planning on...

    Before setting up a corporation (regardless of which region and which service), I would make sure you've got your services set up and at least a couple of potential clients. I'm not a corporation attorney so you'll have to double-check the proper structure in Europe. You're going to have to...

    1. Yes - it's vital. At least when starting out. You could choose to niche by service. That's fine. Lots of companies do that. IMO, niching down by industry helps you develop an intimate knowledge of the people in that field. You know their problems and also what they consider wins. You can...

    Yes, something like that. I feel the future of digital marketing won't be posting on FB for clients. It will be customer acquisition (from start to finish). Setting up funnels, running ads, etc is the start. But then you need to make sure that the client actually calls those leads, can actually...
