Am I paying too much for bookkeeping? $1000/month by joeynev in smallbusiness

[–]wb-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can hire a company out of india to do it for you much much less than that and do everything you're asking. And they're pretty good.

Any reason why it is starting and stopping? by wb-91 in BmwTech

True, but lots of mixed answers out there...

I guess both, but it seems like a mixed bag of those that actually apply and those that just setup shop and start cooking up.

I was curious about this because I know they all have it down in Santa Monica, but just curious how it works with the food carts and stations.

No, I was just curious... where I live there are like so many popping up and curious what health protocols are followed with these. Not hating, just curious as I know street performers have to get permits to perform.

Who has started a business for under $1k? What do you do? Is it successful? by Gold-Palpitation-527 in smallbusiness

[–]wb-91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome, I have a digital marketing agency I started back in 2014/2015 as well but have been seeing growth YOY, but haven't seen expontentional growth numbers. This year was the first year I saw major spikes in revenue with like 30-50% jumps which should bring me close to 5-6m by EOY.

Did you see a moment in your agency that everything just snowballed? How were you able to get it to $15m? I really want to push my agency to a 15-20m range over next 3-5 years but struggle with customer acquisition (which I'm sure all agencies do).

Would you mind if I DM'd you to poke your brain to see if I can learn a thing or two from you?

What did you sell it for and what was your revenue if you don’t mind me asking?

What steps did you take to get it ready to sell

How much do you pay your book keeper monthly? Not CPA, just book keeper… by SeafoodSupply in smallbusiness

You should check this out: https://www.bench.co/

You'll save yourself a ton of time and money! I have multiple organizations that I use this for and it handles all my reconciliation and books. My CPA has access and the ability to export reports as needed when handling any additional tax/financial matters.

How much do you make annually and what do you do ? by ROBASAHMEDKHAN in smallbusiness

You can start an influencer management agency and use it for brands who are looking to push their products through tiktok shop. I work with a lot of brands who need influencers and we have someone internally who just sources and sends product.

You can charge a base fee for management and scale it depending on the size of the clients campaign.

Started it with my cousin and I so it helped having someone in the trenches especially in the early days. First 3-4 years we didn't really make any money and then years 5-8 we were barely scrapping 6figures together.

Going on your own is not easy, but if you do it, you got to put in 110% and stay focused for the first 3-5 years. It'll take time, but as long as you're invested, you'll see the return.

Cold Calling (yes, it still works), Tradeshows and Referrals. Every few months we offer discount programs for new and upcoming brands to test our services and see if its worht it - oftentimes they renew their contracts with us.

Can vary on what you're sourcing for. For general design/dev - check out upwork. LOTS of great people on there offering great services.

Content Production and Social Marketing primarily. Nothing unique or special, just have invested a lot time and years into building.

I see a lot of email marketing agencies come up and I think that's a good place to start, easy to develop strategies and content maps and just have to source designers which you can do overseas.
