Hire sales people on comission to sell marketing to local medium-large businesses.
When they get a sell, foreward details to a high quality freelancer.
Pocket the margins.
When i get enough monthly work to afford a manager i will hire a VA to foreward the orders for me, and do follow-up.
Anything i should be concerned with in this plan? To me it seems like an easy way to get out of my time-stealing job.
Imo, that's a bad way to think about it.Of course i dont expect it to be easy, I mean relative to other options.
The formula works, but it's only a tiny look at the work involved.
I think some of the replies are because of the words in your title, "but I do nothing." I don't think you mean that literally.
Yes why not? you can do it if you really want to. I'm just here to say:
"Anything i should be concerned with in this plan? To me it seems like an easy way to get out of my time-stealing job."
Forget the word easy and do it. Nothing is easy.
They even have an entire industry just doing white label for all the actual work
Where do you add value?
If you find an average sales person that can sell average projects to average clients and then find average marketers to produce average results, there won't be any room for margin.
It's a competitive industry and if you want to do this model you'll have to target high end clients. this requires a network and a reputation.
The model you describe sounds like the 15 spam emails I get each day asking for partnerships and hires.
I wouldn't tell you not to try because you could make it work if you tried hard enough, but it won't be easy or quick which sounds like what you're looking for.
