    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    I've usually avoided realtors. They usually don't have the budget and they make really pesky clients. No offense to any realtors out there! It's just been my experience. There are so many other niches (that I've already mentioned in this thread) that DO have the budget and make for great...

    EXACTLY! The actual DOING of the thing IS the barrier to entry. Anyone in this forum could read this post and get excited about doing this. Will they? That's the difference right there - those who do and those who don't.

    It's all based on the amount of work/hours it will take my team to do it all. The actual details all depend on that. It's also all listed out in the packages/game plan they choose. If there's anything that the client wants done above and beyond, they know it's going to be extra. Sometimes, if...

    HAHA it's true! PLUS, she used clear cups so the other kids could choose their favorite color. Just another way to add value while standing out from the competition.

    I would only add: When prospecting - follow up, follow up, follow up. Most people don't. It's STILL WIDE OPEN for anyone who hustles and that means everything listed above.

    Exactly. I started by networking face to face with real business owners. I drove to businesses and interviewed them and how they do things. I gave them free marketing game plans to implement (most of the time they just hired me). After two years of doing that, and scaled my business with a...

    There are still so many fish in the sea. And there's a BIG difference between people who say they have an Online Marketing Agency and people who are/have been making real money with one. I've had my own since 2010 and it's still trucking along even though I personally only work about 10 hours...

    You can always get started with the people you know. Offer a steep discount or trial period. Honestly though, you can focus on them and the results you'll get for them. There's about a million resources online teaching you what to do step-by-step so it's just a matter of doing it.

    Well, everything starts with the sale. Without a sale, there's no point in spending any time putting a team together. But, once you get that sale, you can work quickly to get someone in place. There's no shortage of people who can do this kind of work. Plus, you've got some time to get it all done.

    Yes, this is your business so you should learn *enough* to going. The best thing to do is narrow down your service offerings and then assign yourself homework to learn what each one is. For example, you have Social Media Advertising as part of your services. You can go to YouTube or just...

    You need to know how to manage creative people and let them work with your clients to get the content out there. The key to growing a digital marketing agency is getting good services in place, getting good systems in place, and then getting good staff to do the work. Your focus should always be...

    Your prices and services are going to change. You just have to get selling and adjust as necessary. Also, the prices will change based on the industry and work involved. The entire key to the pricing is to have 3 packages and set it up as I've talked about before: Basic: $500 Standard...

    When I started out in 2010, I spoke with anyone and everyone I could - all business owners. Eventually, organically, I ended up focusing on what I call "home services" - roofers, painters, contractors, etc. Basically, they had the need, they had the budget, and they did not have the know-how...

    Always be selling. Sell from the get-go. The business entity (keep in mind, this is just my opinion - not legal counsel) can wait until you're sure you have a real business - basically, that you can actually sell and get clients. The website? That can be done in a couple of hours. It shouldn't...

    That depends on how much they want to spend. Easy as that. If they want to drop €1000/month (just an example) on advertising, that's up to them and their budget. When you're getting started, you can always advise them to start small, track the results, and grow from there. How much you have to...

    Those packages look good - you'll have to just try them with the market to be sure. As far as finding people to do the work, that should be relatively easy with those prices. As for the costs, those would be extra because it's based on how much their budget is.

    It depends on the services you plan on offering. Content is really the only place you need to think about that. Most other stuff (website design, SEO, etc) can be done as Dutch as a second language, if at all. Don't let that hold you back!
