Their's so many player's in the space. It's not too late. Yes registering for an LLC can be good, but honestly would probably best if you wait until you have clients.

GHL is a tool that can definitely help you. But don't forget alternatives as well. I have posted a list on another thread that is beginner friendly and can get you going.

Honestly take action and see what the marketplace responds. In Unscripted , something that was hard for me to learn was this concept.

You will not know what you need to know until you know and that is by acting in the marketplace. It's like the hunger games as MJ explained.

Not sure why there's so many posts that mentions GHL recently. Did this software just went viral recently, or is it part of a complex marketing funnel by GHL targetted at business forums?

Alright, the last time I said that SMMA is a garbage idea, @KrisRomer presented 5500 arguments of why I was wrong:

MINDSET - EXECUTION - Earning $5.5K/mo at 16: I'm doing it.

Hey everyone. I read the millionaire fastlane about a month and a half ago, and it changed my life. Once I finished the book I joined the forum, and well...here's my story. I'm 16 years old, and before reading the book I was working as a server in a restaurant making minimum wage. I always had...

So I'll refrain from saying anything discouraging.

I love the title of the thread by the way

GHL is GoHighLevel. It's a software that is designed to help marketing agencies as a one stop shop for all their needs. The reason why it got viral is because the SMMA business model became viral and all the "gurus" are affiliated with GHL.

It's not too late but it's so easy to start an SMMA, so you will need to become excellent at what you do to stand out. The market is flooded with wantrepreneurs.

Yeah don't just do it to get money, do it to solve a need that someone has

To get sales, its allways good to talk to people! Social media is far better than talking to animals or chairs.
So yes, imo, to adress people allways is a good way to go.

Sounds like you want EASY MONEY...

GUESS WHAT!

I am going to give you a STEP BY STEP guide on how to start an sMmA.

And hit the oh-so-glorious 10k a month!!!

This is something the gurus don't want you to know...

(they only want your $$$)

Step 1. Figure out what the market actually wants (call like 20 businesses in each niche you are interested in, pose as a marketing student, and ask them what their problems are).

Step 2. If you can solve the problem or want to learn the skill set required to solve the problem, you have found your niche.

Step 3. Work on a pay-on-results basis because you probably suck at solving the problem.

Step 4. Cry because you realize solving a problem is hard and it isn't as easy as the gurus led you to believe.

(what do you mean i can't spend 1 hour learning facebook ads and print moneyz???????)

Step 5. Realize that if you want to make money you have to provide value and that there is no easy money.

Step 6. Take action, adjust, and profit.

OR...

Just read The Millionaire Fastlane , have this realization already, and never listen to another guru again that is telling you it is easy to make money.

SOLVE A REAL PROBLEM AND YOU WILL WIN.

P.S - can people stop saying smma. i am going to go nuts if i hear this again. how can it be too late to start an "smma". it is literally a b2b service company. there will never be a time where you can't solve a business owners biggest problem and they won't pay you.

Also, if anyone is wondering why people keep posting asking about SMMA (and why this won't be the last post).

It is because Iman Gadzhi (video linked below) is quite literally one of the best info marketers out right now.

He sells a course teaching people how to start an SMMA and has sold a METRIC SHITLOAD OF IT.

The video that he funnels all of his other videos to (which links to the buying page) has 4.2 million views.

If 0.5% have bought from this video that is 21,000 people.

It is definitely way more than that because he also ran a huge webinar series thing and got everyone on his email list.

Also, he has taken the Andrew Tate growth strategy and ran with it.

Literally has like 20+ accounts posting short-form content of him seeming controversial.

Payroll for his content team has got to be at Alex Hormozi levels at this point.

He sells a course called 'Agency Navigator', which I got for free from someone on discord

There is a lot of competitors but every businesses need marketing so there is place to play

You can niche youself, specialize in somes skills, or be all-around, there is a lot of way to create a Unique Selling Proposition

One of my favourite quote of TMF is "In a gold rush, sell shovels" and marketing is the best exemple of selling shovels because every business need it in a way or another

In addition marketing is the best skill for an entreprenneur to learn first because you can sell it to anybody and it will be very useful for you when you'll start bigger projects in the future

Since webmarketing has a preponderant place in modern marketing I can only encourage you to learn and apply this field

I advice to specialize in max 3 skills that all sell to each others

A good example is websites + social ads + lead magnets

And for the competitors, yes there are many but so much are wannnabe, this is not that hard to stand out.

I've recently experienced an awesome PPC on facebook ads just because my visuals was standing out and did a stop-scroll effect

I have 400+ hours on photoshop but you can achieve the same results in 40 studying basis, and using templates.Then learn a little consummer behavior will make ads that provide results.

Excellent analysis I agree 100%

Ideas are not bad, execution are everything, the question is how to use that or that skill to solve problems

I feel like this is how Google feels answering questions. Reminds me of this silly little skit!

Kool.

Hold your horses, you havent even got a single client yet.

Is that a good idea?

Whats the meaning of life? No clue!

Now you got your answers its time to go and start learning. But considering this post took me three minutes to write, I doubt you'll have the dedication to look into this. Prove me wrong.
