Hi,
I’ve read the Millionaire fastlane multiple times and can’t get enough of it. March 2020 I’ve decided to buy a dog and listen to MJ’s audiobooks while walking my dog, which are even more revealing for me. Thanks MJ! Thanks to this book I’ve decided to start my own business in Webdesign, because I got sick of working for employers.
In 2017 I decided to work as a freelance IT Engineer and thought that this was freedom, this book thought me otherwise and I started to explore other possibilities. In July 2020 I’ve bought a domain name called websiteoffertes.nl (lead generation business for Webdesigners) from a marketing agency.
The Marketing Agency owner advised me to really be groundbreaking and not ask per lead, but a fixed price per month (€25 to €50). In the meantime I hired someone for marketing (freelance) and someone for development (also freelance), while I am focussed on defining my vision and sales. At this moment I gathered 53 webdesigners, who are paying from €25 to €50 a month. I made a deal with one of the biggest hosting companies here in the Netherlands, who will send me leads. I sell these leads to webdesigners and if they win the assignment, they will pay 7 to 10% commission.
We developed a platform, so 90% of the things are automated. Leads go directly to a set of webdesigners (who haven’t responded in a while) and all my customers are very happy with the progress we made so far.
At this moment, the marketeer and developer are still needed. I am making slow but steady progress.
What I find difficult of this business model, is that I have to deal with 53 webdesigners, who are paying €25 to €50 a month.
My biggest competitor has the same amount of webdesigners, but is focussed on asking a fee per lead and per month and as making at least €600 per webdesigner.
My question is: should I switch my model to pay per lead (with a monthly subscription fee) and concentrate on only 12-15 (and later more) webdesigners who generate the same income as 200 would do with my other model? What can you advice?
Thanks!
