My friend was made redundant from his 9-5 on September 25th
In November he earned £1,785 working for himself (£350 more than his monthly wage)
Here’s what we did to get him there

First we identified what he wanted to do
He said he’d love to have his own web design company but had ZERO experience
Not ideal, but I said I’d help

First we got him a domain through Google and added Google workspace so he would have personalised email
He used Carrd to create a landing page for his services “local web design”
Now we needed someone who could actually build a website

We found a Wordpress and webflow expert freelancer from Fiverr based in India
Charging £280 for up to a 5 page website
Great portfolio
Now he had

Someone who could do the work
But he needed a case study

We decided to focus on landscapers as that we he previously did for a job
We found local landscaping businesses on Google that didn’t have a website
I emailed them on his behalf
Everything to do with email you need to be following @blackhatwizardd

He outsourced the work to the freelancer who delivered in 5 days
Passed this onto the client and in exchange for a video testimonial
Added that to the Cardd landing page

I got back to sending emails, this time as we had a case study, we increased the price to £595 and started targeting businesses with poor sites
80 emails sent
7 calls booked
3 said yes!
That’s £1,785 for November and he can’t even build a website!

Price will soon be going up to £750
Will negotiate lower price with freelancer due to volume
Will start adding SEO (will outsource this also)
The message I wanted to get across here is:
Stop over complicating it, just start!
