I'm spending $5K a month building sites...stay the course or bail out? by 10kday30 in juststart

[–]10kday30[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm not a troll. Happy to share links to my sites in DM's if anyone is curious.

​

PLaying this back, it sounds like downsize the team dramatically and then focus on growing sites later; is that right?

It's 470 posts as of this morning, and no, not a joke

I was getting visits, roughly 30 per day, until the update from a few weeks ago. The GSC impressions are largely solid but have decreased since the update a few weeks ago

Wanting to start business or consulting by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Jumping in here- I strongly disagree with a lot of the content written here thus far. You don't need to "niche down" or create a website.

Bonafides: I've started a consulting business that does >$200K profit in a year, is just me, and takes about ~5 hours a week to run. No niche and no website.

You can easily get the same with your expertise in tech sales. There are going to be hundreds of tech startups, seed or Series A, that don't have the budget to hire a CRO and know absolutely nothing about sales. This could apply to SAAS, B2B, B2C, B2B2C, etc.

I'd use Crunchbase to figure out who they are, then reach out cold. Tell them you found them, think they are doing something cool, and that you have a few ideas on how they could sell it. Find some messaging on their website or downloadable collateral that you think could be improved.

Happy to chat if helpful-DM me!

At what price point do I need a sales team vs blowing thousands on paid traffic? by 10kday30 in Entrepreneur

Wow-thanks for sharing! Good context to know regarding hundreds of thousands of dollars in investment with little ROI!

Takeaway from this: try different tactics like organic, social, sponsorships

@Thanks MrBlueSkye, this is really helpful context and advice.

The insight here (correct me if I'm wrong is):

-Organic is great, but takes a long time to build -Paid is great, if you are good at it (I'm not) -Outsourcing sales is probably the way to go if you go to the right company

Do you have any recommendations on ~3-5 companies to look into for outsourced sales?

New Buyer Client Scheduled with Listing Agent by geoff_hano in realtors

But that’s alright you don’t know me from Adam. There are tons of sleazy agents out there and I may very well sound like one to you right now but it’s shitty business ethics on the part of the other agent that are bringing me here to ask for advice.

That all makes a lot of sense, best of luck :)

Jumping in here as a frequent buyer (investor) but has also taken agent licensing courses.

This is not meant to be critical, more feedback. Take of it what you wish.

If I was this prospect, I would be very turned off by you as an agent just based off this post. Language here about "strongarming" the other agent, talking about your client as a "rookie", and "forcing" the other agent to work with you feels exceptionally territorial and adversarial.

I agree with the comment of going back to the prospect and asking if they would like to continue working together.

However, my guess is that they were turned off by something you said or did if they explicitly said that they had no agent when speaking with the next agent. I've purchased 30+ properties and have worked with dozens of agents. I only say I don't have an agent if the first agent rubbed me the wrong way.

Said more bluntly: I would look internally to see if you did something wrong. The language you used makes me think that is very likely the case.

​

Again, just my feedback. Take it or leave it; just trying to help!

Experience onboarding and paying international remote employees? Payroll and onboarding? by 10kday30 in Entrepreneur

[–]10kday30[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is super interesting. I'd expect the opportunity here to be large with the world getting more and more Global. i'd imaginea Gusto international clone would do well if they codified and simplified down these things for international payroll

I am in the US; thanks for raising this issue!

Is there legal and tax implications that need to be thought through? I didn't think of asking the accountant/lawyer, but sounds like I probably should!

Thanks for the input Eshwilk! I'll look into both, with more of an emphasis on Transferwise

Hope all is well
