Process Thread: Web Project

[Mister]

Hello there,

after my gyms are now closed for the next few weeks, I decided to focus my free time 100% on my project. And that I make a real commitment, I will plan to make now and then a few post about my progress.

My goal is it to become s established Website and brand for the niche pest control.

After a few days of brainstorming I found out that the SEO difficulty on pest control is very low, also is the market is very untapped right now.
I came up with pest control by just simply listing all services that i now, afterwords I looked up the niches to see if there was the chance to established myself with a website.

My basic plan is that I go "online" on 1.1.2022

-I want to invest $400 monthly in around 4 written texts from Freelancer
-I want to write myself each week a text
-I will write about one sup niche after another

My basic plan of monetizing is
-Offering a service of finding a pest control service for the costumer (B2C Leads)
-Promoting products tough affiliate of my websites and via Email marketing


Currently, I make the research for my Email.pdf

I learned for myself that I'm more "motivated" when I do just one small task after another.
Then, when I have "writing the Email hook and setting it up" on my daily to-do list, I get lost in where I could start.

See ya fellas

I forgot something

I'm not sure how willing people are to buy the stuff online. So I looked up some eBay products about rat falls.
I found out that two are currently sourcing their products via Alibaba.

I calculated that you can have a 50% profit margins around. The monthly sales are around 100, so it's a good starting point.

I thought about managing the shipping via Amazon FBA and building so a small ecom business.
But that's an object for a another month

Then there are just 1 or 2 competitors in the market. And none of them really use SEO as marketing.

So the way to go could be building an Affiliate site and transforming it to Ecom business to higher the profit margins.
Sadly the only way to really scale is to expand in other country.

But one step after another.

So back to work

I will close my project with the pest control business.
I decided to go for the B2B business with selling leads.

Today I was thinking I should call some potential clients to get their feedback to the idea.

The feedback was more than bad, many other businesses scammed many people over the last years, so many didn't want to speak with me. There were some who were so friendly and talked with me, but they also had no interest in new clients, the there have already a good clients base.

My learning:
For god’s sake, the first step will be that i ask potential clients about the idea and find out if there is really a need.
I spend ad least 100 hours in my dumb time waste project.

What will I do now ?
I will go for the hunt for a new idea. There is the chance I will go with the same business model but just in another market. But for sure is that I will call some people in the first steps, so I get a better feeling about the costumers (or use another metrics to test the market).
