    Thanks man! Still have a decent ways to go, but it's been an amazing experience so far. For the rest of this year and going into next year I really want to take this thing to the next level. I'm planning on kicking things off with this new client July 1st so July is shaping up to already be a...

    3 years in the forum.... just made over $10,000 in 2 weeks at 17 years old.

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I get that, especially the part about that more money in ad spend doesn't equal more money in revenue. If you're targeting bad keywords or the data is showing it isn't producing a good ROI, more money just means you'll be throwing more away in ad spend. However, I think that once you get...

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    This is a tricky one, for those who don't know my story I currently run a business doing web design and most recently monthly SEO services (haven't dealt with PPC and selling that service). The thought I keep coming back to is if a company is willing to spend $5k per month in your management...

    Hey All, Great news today! The fashion designer client finally pulled the trigger and confirmed today via email that they all spoke about the updated SEO proposal and they want to move forward! It's going to be: -$6k over 2 months for on-page SEO work (with a fixed hourly amount of work...

    Hey All, Kind of an unrelated post to the business, but I got some really good health news today. I know I've included some info about some unexpected surgery I had to get taken care of, but on top of that I had a completely unrelated other thing going on as well. It seems like both of those...

    Hey All, This definitely isn't a post that I wanted to make, I've been saying for the past probably 3-4 months or so that my goal was to reach $10k per month in recurring revenue by June 30th of this year. It doesn't do anyone any good to either blame outside factors or to go the opposite way...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    Honda Civic owner checking in. Especially since moving to Scottsdale.. I’ve never seen more luxury cars in my life. I definitely value my freedom way more than any exotic sports car. Absolutely something to aspire to (to be in a place where I don’t even have to think about if I can afford it)...

    Hey All, Quick update, my first SEO client is still really happy and she's gotten some great results so she went ahead (paying month to month) and paid for the next month's worth of work - adding in the additional $500 for tracking purposes. On another quick note, the big travel site went...

    Just a quick update, this is the email I ended up sending after giving it some thought.. I think this gives me a great shot and if it goes through a $6k payout over the course of the next two months would be fantastic as I work on growing the recurring revenue aspect of things. I may still get...

    Thanks MJ - agreed, that's a good approach to take. SEO is a very generic term and I will frame so that I originally pitched 45 hours a month in order to really deliver the best for them but understand if they want to scale back a bit and only do 30 hours per month for 2 months instead to get...

    Hey Everyone, I usually don't ask for guidance on here but it's definitely something I should be doing to take full advantage of this amazing resource. Got a tricky email back from a client that I pitched and was wondering the best way to respond back to this to a) reaffirm why I charged a...

    Hey All, Quick update, have a great feeling June is going to be a solid month! A few updates from my side (in addition to the usual 2k per month recurring rev): 1. The recent client I mentioned gave me the go ahead to get started on the web design edits (charging $90 per hour) for around 20...

    Hey man! We met at the lunches that Eskil put together when I first moved out to the AZ area (I believe one was around April or so of last year at Red Robin). I think we went to the same one at Oreganos too a few months later. Would be great to catch up sometime! In terms of the site, feel...

    Hey All, Picked up an unexpected client today. Random real estate agent I networked with over a year ago (who referred me to a big web design job a while back) reached out saying her website maintenance guy randomly is closing his business. Using lessons learned from Fox's courses and...

    Hey Andy, To be completely transparent, at the moment I feel like I'm 1-2 clients away from being 100% maxed out for the amount of work I can personally do in a day (while running everything). At the same time, in the current state I feel like I'm not making enough yet where I'd feel...

    Hey All, Quick update to the revenue (recurring revenue really is the best) was out with friends coming back from the bar and at 2 AM got an email that my automatic payment was successful for the $1500/month client. Woke up early and sent out the monthly report... getting some solid results...

    I think it's definitely a glass half empty kind of mentality to look at this whole thread and think that this is just another job. Honestly, maybe I'm working longer hours than in my old job, but the experience is 100% different. I have a lot of thoughts about this that I want to share to anyone...

    Hey All, Just a quick update to my revenue tracker - the $500 per month client asked for a new additional page to her site, I've been charging $100 per hour and it ended up being 8.5 hours of work so just got paid $850 for today. Got some fantastic news too about the fashion designer client...

    Hey Everyone, Wanted to post a quick update since it feels like it's been a while. I've been balancing current client work, my pipeline, prospecting/outreach with a lot of random health issues I've been having this year. Funny enough, this will probably end up being my most expensive year of...
