Background
I've dabbled in some other adventures before, all of which have not succeeded for one way or another. The biggest problem: there was no problem to solve! The next biggest issue was on execution (keyword: "dabbled").
So now, utilizing my experience coding websites as a hobby for years, I will speed up other business's WordPress sites. Luckily, I'm only just out of college and have plenty of time to work on this.
Why focus on website speed in particular?
The Main Issue
Many business owners don't know how much they need a fast website. Yet there's been tons of research to show that every millisecond counts!
You could go on for days finding similar articles.
The hardest part will be to communicate the value upfront. My current solution: find websites that are absurdly slow and do cold emails.
Progress
Sent out some cold emails last week, got one sale (completed successfully) and another reply expressing potential interest. Still in the early stages, but making progress.
This thread will document the weekly process of starting out from scratch and growing a large business along with all the twists and turns it takes to get there.
Stay tuned to see how everything turns out.
