    AndyTalks with @Tweeve11 about generating web design leads and business learnings

    MARKETING 
    Not sure how this is relevant. I paid for a service. I didn't invest in the stock market :smile: It's as if you buy something from Amazon, never receive the product and then someone telling you that you shouldn't have purchased it if you weren't willing to accept the risk that you'll never...

    AndyTalks with @Tweeve11 about generating web design leads and business learnings

    MARKETING 
    This Marshall Scott Weaver guy, aka @Tweeve11 is a crook and a liar. He had a marketplace ad here on the forum which @Andy Black linked to in his original post (but @MJ DeMarco has since removed it), where he was selling client acquisition services for "only" $2k a month. Four months later...

    The Math Doesn't Add Up (FB Ads)

    MARKETING 
    Any chance on repeat buys or upsells? You can try improving your conversion rate by a couple percentage points through a better landing page (improve the copy and design) or find some ways of making the product more appealing.

    Create a 5 minute video of their website while you record yourself and give them honest feedback and advice. Go out of your way and tell them how they could make some of the changes / improvements themselves. Tell them what results they could expect from those improvements and then offer to help...

    I know of a similar story (which some might think contradicts with a few of the points I made, but I don't have an ego problem :) ): A guy was having car troubles. His motor made a really loud noise and the car kept stalling. He took the car to 5 different mechanics and none of them were able...

    To be honest, what I really wanted to get across about is people following Fox's advice for the money, without focusing on the value. We can probably safely say that his tagline and use of numbers encouraged many members to follow his advice. This might lead to an influx of overpriced, poor...

    Yes indeed. The market does tell us. That's why almost every single service and product is increasing in price at a rapid rate. What used to cost X at the mechanic a decade ago, now costs 2X. Same goes for dentists, plumbers and almost everything else. When a few large industries start...

    No, this thread is about selling basic websites to companies. Fox just so happens to sell them to companies with larger budgets (I wouldn't say "HUGE"), because he doesn't want to deal with people who tell him his prices are huge. With larger companies he most likely doesn't have this problem as...

    No, he did not charge his regular web design rates in that topic. That topic is about "how to do what I do and make $15k a month like me. Pay me $600 and I'll train you". Again with the Xmillion dollar companies with huge budgets?! Those companies don't have time to shop around. They pick...

    Thank you for your enlightenment @devine a) "People like" me? Do we know each other from somewhere? Do you know anything about the quality of my work? b) A logo can cost anywhere from $5 to $500k+ and can look exactly the same. Both vectorized, both professional and both equally liked by the...

    It does not matter to me what Fox does, and he's certainly not hurting my business in any way haha. I know that sales is a lot of work and I am not discrediting him for all his hard efforts. Perhaps there was a misunderstanding, so I rest my case :) There are websites which sell customized...

    There are people willing to pay $100k for a foot massage. There are people who pay millions of dollars for a customized license plate. What someone is willing to pay has nothing to do with the value of that product or service. A lawyer has to go to school for 8 years in the U.S. (I think) and...

    Let us not make assumptions like that. We are not talking about charging pennies. A $12k WordPress website might not seem like much to someone who doesn't understand how easy it is to build, but to someone with experience, it sounds ridiculous. You should charge based on what your customers are...

    I don't think Fox is a designer first of all. Did he say anywhere that he has design skills? Even if he did, design is still a commodity, just like programming is (or you can argue the other way around and say that programming is not a commodity. There is a huge difference between a...
