    Best “support job” to cover $500/month without killing off-hours?

    MINDSET 
    I hadn't known facebook spam would work. I always thought the groups flooding in self-promotion were casting their net into a puddle. I stopped posting in groups until now. I recently got the winning response from the market: "Is this available?". That's pretty good considering I threw up a...

    Case Study: Amazon's Algorithm Loves My Book (Rank #1) But Customers Don't. Why?

    MARKETING EXECUTION PUBLISHING 
    Yes right now while you're building your brand, your reach is very limited and people aren't familiar with your brand so it's a low ROI, especially with low-effort posts. If you get together with the people you reach out to on video that already seem to be known by many, a good portion their...

    Case Study: Amazon's Algorithm Loves My Book (Rank #1) But Customers Don't. Why?

    MARKETING EXECUTION PUBLISHING 
    As ohers have mentioned, if the keywords you are using have really low search volumes, then you can only make so many sales. If you dominate this niche and provide value like no one else, you can command a higher price to make up for less sales. And you'll want tap into similar subjects with...

    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Took me longer than I mentioned, but I have finally quit my job today. Last hour of my shift I scheduled another job for the weekend, but this time from ads. Things are picking up.

    Pouring money down the Google Ads drain

    HOT! MARKETING 
    So basically, ask them for the price that they'd pay for? I wouldn't mind doing this, but it feels incredibly dishonest to have charged my previous customers the full rate and give new ones their own pricing. I always ensure the job is REALLY good. As much as possible with the tools I have...

    Pouring money down the Google Ads drain

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Am I charging too high? One person I quoted an SUV on for $180 full interior. She said that they would call back after taxes. So an indirect "you're too high". Another person wanted a full detail for a mid-sized SUV. I quoted $224 (discounted) and we'll be there the next day in time before...

    I'm not using a landing page at the moment, although I am using a privacy policy by AI. I made new forms with a CTA for the phone numbers. I'll run those forms in about 2 more days. They are a lot stronger by asking two additional, simple low friction qualifying questions. The reason why I...

    Yes I should add that to the lead form. For now I have the 2 running indefinitely until I have enough data. I will add a 3rd ad and just see which one performs best. Right now I have 7 leads between the ads costing a little less than $40.

    What do you mean by sell projects? I would like to delegate ads but I don't think that would keep my expenses low. Right now I'm working towards consistent work, like a packed schedule that I can't manage alone before hiring. I'll look into it. It may be worth the cost in the short term to...

    Pouring money down the Google Ads drain

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Now have a handful of leads and can't get back to them in time. I'm using instant forms and setup an automation between Facebook and my email. I'll need it to be sent to text so I can respond immediately. The time mismatch is affecting my close rate. If I don't strike iron while it's hot, it's...

    Pouring money down the Google Ads drain

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Adding onto my last post, Meta randomly unsuspended my account. So I've finally started to run ads for this business and am a few days in. I've gotten 3 leads and each lead costs about $8.50. I'm running 2 ads right now with 2 different creatives to compare which one outperforms. Ad A: 8...

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Pretty big update from the last few days. Yesterday was our biggest job and really changed our business in less than 12 hours. I've been marketing without ads for a while and I look at a couple posts. I notice what business posts were received best and which ones fall flat. The biggest...

    $100 compared to last month where I almost made $1k. Not good numbers by any means (you will starve to death), but given that this is only through word of mouth and Nextdoor it's a start. I'll make an update to the thread too: I lost out on quite a few jobs. This one guy had several luxury...

    Average Redditor starts a business. Guess what happens?

    MINDSET 
    The first job I got confirmation of I didn't have anything ready. I went and grabbed a washcloth I used to clean the inside of the intake manifold, 2 somewhat clean microfiber cloths, a flea (or tick?) spray bottle filled with soapy water, an old but reliable shop-vac & 100 ft extension cord...

    Pounding the streets for a Foundation Job

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE EXECUTION 
    Good video. A lot of compelling points were shared that I can personally relate to. From my experience, honesty doesn't pay or help anyone in the job market. This applies to business and life in general too. You go a lot further if you lie within reason. Tell people what they want to hear and...

    I just did 2 exterior jobs yesterday for the first time. It was easy compared to the usual interior cleanings. But it was time consuming and my efficiency was poor. It didn't help that I didn't have everything I needed, but made do with what I could find and buy before the jobs. You know when...
