    From a web developer to a niche digital agency

    EXECUTION 
    The last 16 days have been around "Helping People" I took in the lessons that I received from forum members here and I focused on helping 1 person. I built a one-pager website for a motorcycle tour travel company in Spain (where I'm staying for a few months), in return I got 2 days of...

    From a web developer to a niche digital agency

    EXECUTION 
    After running around in circles for a bit, and talking with @Andy Black and @heysander I decided to take a few steps back and slow down a bit. I want to help people, so my goal is to talk to more people, and help wherever they need me I just uploaded a video to LinkedIn offering to install...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I've thought about offering to set up free analytics on their websites, because a lot of my target niche don't have any clue of what visitors are visiting their website. It's a small task, but it can be of great help. I haven't proof that they're complaining about this, but it's something I...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    Thanks Andy, I decided I'm going to cut 90% of my desk research ( which is just running in circles), and spend more time talking to the people in my market. Some of them outside my market have been difficult to reach, but I do have an idea to do more formal interviews in the form of podcasts...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    But I suppose I have to assume "Who", if I don't pick "who or "how", I could do anything for anyone. Do you mean pick a niche and go out there and see what I can do for them?

    Thanks, I've read and watched the links in your bio and your content has helped me get-started a few weeks ago!

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    This is very interesting, you just made me realise that I went into these conversations with my "web developer" hat still on. And was not really listening.

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I do have an idea of that answer, I mean people come home from an amazing trip and talk about it, most of the people I interviewed create tailor-made / authentic trips, so there's a lot of stories to tell. What I don't see here is how this relates to my offer, and how I could amplify word of...

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    I don't understand your question completely, do you mean asking them "Why they think the website doesn't bring in leads?" Thank you.

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    Could you elaborate on "let the niche reveal itself"? And by helping them do you mean for free, or send a cold email about their perceived pain + a low-priced offer?

    I'm running in research circles and I feel stuck.

    FEEDBACK 
    A few weeks ago I decided that I want to "niche down" and start a digital agency (before that I was a small web studio doing 10 clients per year). Now I've done a few interviews with small travel operators (my target niche), I did a lot of research, I did some more GPT research, and now I'm...

    From a web developer to a niche digital agency

    EXECUTION 
    I've been thinking about what you say here. Should I craft a cold-email, explaining the perceived pain I think they have, and then make them an offer? right there in that email?

    EXECUTION 
    With a small paid offer do you mean a low-ticket entry offer? Such as an Audit based on my 21-point framework?

    From a web developer to a niche digital agency

    EXECUTION 
    Update 8 Februari I've interviewed 10 smaller travel specialists (it's very hard to get the non-freelancers to talk to me). So I've got a few ideas to tackle this. The 21 Point Review I created a 21 point review checklist, which I use to score a travel designer's website. These range from...

    Thanks @Wersin Aziz what do you mean exactly with "Keep reducing complexity"?

    From a web developer to a niche digital agency

    EXECUTION 
    It's been 20 days, I've had 2 branding workshops, which have been very valuable, I managed to do a workshop (still for free) for someone with a big network in travel, I'm not working on the brand strategy (the execution of that will most probably be done by us, not for free). In the last few...

    EXECUTION 
    Hey @Wersin Aziz yes, exactly. I found myself hiding behind learning more, preparing more, but I'm passed that now. Today I'm doing my first UX Workshop with a client (friend), I'm doing this for free to learn, tomorrow I have the same workshop planned with another friend (in another niche...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    A paradigm shift for myself, "I don't need to be perfect at X, before starting to do it", so I'm building a marketing page with a new offer, that I will personally send to a few people that might need it. Thinking about other ways to market my new niched digital agency. Do 2 interviews per week...
