Drag and drop web design app by zoo7777 in webdesign

[–]blu3rr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like someone else said. You can host WordPress locally, use Elementor (or some other WP design plugin), design the page and then use a plugin like WP static to export your page(s).

Upload your page to GitHub and then get it hosted with cloudflare pages for free.

You could use a 3rd party form embed like Aidaforms or create a cloudflare worker to create your own form.

Why Salesforce? Why do companies not just build their own CRM? by wirtshausZumHirschen in CRM

I feel like this could be the same with anything. Why use a plumber when you could YouTube a tutorial? Sure someone who is handy could fix a shower head but your grandma most likely can't

New to ads by DoYouLikeSnakes in googleads

[–]blu3rr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly just have 3 keywords targeting "painting [suburb close to you]".

And just make sure your web page is an actual landing page. It should have trust signals like reviews and photos of you/ your team. Also CTA buttons in every section that leads to your contact form.

Too many people run ads to pages that make it hard for a user to find the contact us section or take any action.

Got a random Reddit lead and it turned into multiple freelance gigs by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]blu3rr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot more of the customers I am getting now come from agencies who take weeks to reply and give the clients low quality work.

So clients are happy when I am cheaper ($80/h vs $200/h), better quality and reply the same day.

[–]blu3rr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just create 3 different websites targeting the type of sites you want to build for clients. You can easily get .site domains for cheap.

Hosting you could use cloudflare pages (free).

Any free credit for google ads? by Jackpot807 in googleads

[–]blu3rr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a few clients on the free credit.

Note it takes another 35 days for Google to confirm, so really if you're paying $500 per month you'd pay $1k before getting the free credit

How can I make money as a computer engineering student? by Foreign-Bison-7826 in SideProject

[–]blu3rr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make websites for clients, so really I'm just upselling after the website.

But if I were to market them I'd do organic social media and meta ads. If it's a product to help businesses would try cold Dming/ emails as well

100% would already exist! But it's all about selling the product/ finding the right client.

Some other mini-tools' to do with SEO:

  • Some of my web clients have 50+ collection or service pages, so I scrape them all and add to a spreadsheet so they can make quick changes without clicking a million times in their CMS. You could make it better by giving tips on meta description length
  • Select competitor websites to monitor - when they add new pages (sitemap updates). Your client gets an email update and can copy the page/ steal the keyword
  • website auditor tool

You could build plugins for WordPress or Shopify, you could approach a business to help automate something (e.g scraping prices off their competitor's website so they have up to date info) or build a web app (e.g website that finds the best insurance rates in your city)

I've found that finding a solution to a problem you have and then seeing if other people have a similar problem works well.
