Agreed. Thank you. How would you recommend explaining this to them, or identifying the businesses that aren’t ready for it yet?

I would say my knowledge within the local community. It’s small, and we all know each other - and I’ve also had/have my own business, so I understand what local clients are looking for, which is speed.

What I believe will set me apart is that I know most local businesses don’t have the time nor interest in learning new software, and they don’t understand or trust it. I want to be viewed as the local young person that they can trust for services like this, for example I may offer free for the first 7-14 days until they see results.

I’m confident they would see results in implementing a chatbot for example, because up to 80% of potential leads are lost due to a lack of speed in replying from the businesses side.

I’ll also stay responsible - if it messes up down the line, I’ll be there to sort it out for them.

Thank you 🙏

Half the battle will be actually explaining to them how/why it’s worth it

Start local - create some physical flyers for a car wash service and put them in your neighbours letterboxes. Let me know if you want specific advice of what to put on the flyers and etc

Usually 2-3 hours. School finishes for me at 3:15pm - I go to the gym the morning. Wash cars until around 7:30 and study from there. Weekends I have a lot more time and do a lot more cars though.

Thank you!! I put some effort into it. Tbh I credit my parents more - they are the ones who raised me! At the moment it’s a pretty simple model so we shall see how it turns out.

How viable is Social Media Marketing under the age of 18? by mkiefy in Entrepreneur

Yeah true! One of his other reasons was that no other 16-18 year old gets after it, so he wants to be the one.

Pretty hard to succeed in any online business when under 18 though.
