awesome man, i love it. i'll make some tweaks and go!

thnx sir

Hi Neville!

I love cars, I have a fb page about Audi but I don't know how I could get money from it.

Maybe I could help car dealers? But what I can offer to them? Don't know :/

I write blog posts, articles, and website content for healthcare companies, publications, health bloggers, and so on. Later on, sales pages, white papers, press releases, etc.

Maybe you could do reviews of cool add-ons and parts for Audis, and use an affiliate link to the product. This way if someone buys the part after your review, you get a piece of the sale.

A lot of YouTube reviewers do this as their primary income. They will show how to use a certain camera lens, and in the description include their Amazon affiliate link (or whatever company).

Oh very cool Rohi. If you are approaching large healthcare companies about your writing, then this method MIGHT work for you, but I would suggest you put together more expensive packages since they will be used to paying higher prices for this work.

This is pretty cool Neville! How about something for a "content marketing strategist"? Review their site and make suggestions for content, social media management, email, etc. Really any of their written materials.

I am currently updating my site. However, what easy tips for a Virtual Assistant can you give me like a good 100.00 pitch. I do Calendar management, Content Curation, Email marketing and Social media marketing. What do you have?

Please and thank you.

Hey Andre, that would be a great pitch for a consultant:

"My name is Andre and I want to review your website to see where it's leaking money. I've been a Content Marketing Writer for 3 years at a big agency, and have re-written hundreds of webpages and pieces of online copy. For just $100 I want to have a video call with you where we review your website in real time. The last client I had changed 2 pages and got $6,000 in extra business that month. I am doing a few of these $100 consultations for a limited time offer to boost my side-gig of freelancing from my Content Marketing job. If you'd like me to help identify where you website is dropping money out the bottom, message me!"

If the above was written in a group where everyone had websites, I bet it'd get a couple of bites instantly :)

Hi Charisse, the price does not have to be $100 necessarily, it was just an example. You can say something like:

"I'm a virtual assistant who does calendar management, content curation, and social media marketing for $12/hour. If you've ever wanted someone else to run your life for you, freeing you up to do larger tasks, then message me. I have excellent time management skills, 5 years of experience, great English skills, and have worked with marketers from Chicago to New York. Please message me if you'd like for me to handle all your management tasks!"

Something like that would entice people to use you instead of just a straight pitch not explaining the benefit.

Perhaps you can post your availability on some digital nomad groups or outsourcing groups.

Hey Neville! Thanks for the AWESOME content!

If I followed this to the 'T'...which I had and I'm getting some response...which way would you go after payment is received?

1. Would you create the WP acct and get the domain for them? Or

2. Have them set it up and just share their log in info?

I KNOW you're super busy...I just wanted to ask.

No harm no foul right?

Thanks a mil for sharing your time! :)

Hi Neville, love your brilliant post! And I like this caveat too! I've only got basic understanding of WP installation : sign up for hosting, install, choose WP theme. Is that good enough, you think?

Hi Neville, I'm learning to be a copywriter. I've been reading Gary Halbert, Joseph Sugarman, Andy Maslan and just actually got my hands on your book last week and seriously love it! I've been copying ads like Gary suggested but I find your AIDA formula so much simpler. I want to start practicing hands on copywriting so how do I get clients for this with no experience whatsoever? Many thanks!

Thanks again, Neville! Please could you provide a complete plan for paid guest blogging? Happy Holidays!

Hi Neville,

thanks for that post. Even if you already have a business you sometimes get stuck in the details instead of focusing on the essentials.

I am running a business where I produce individual bracelets out of gemstones.

My customers mostly come to my home, sit on a table with me and choose from about 80 different gemstones to create a unique bracelet. I later create a real bracelet out of it.

I started small and had no money at first. You probably don't need money first because you get an invoice and can pay later.

Now I sell a bracelet for 36 € and more depending on the worth of the stone and prices go up to 100 €.

It's easy to start and easy to sell to your nearest friends and family.

Wouldn't that be worth writing about ?

I will offer my help with this one, of course.

Regards,

David from Germany

How about this idea?

I will write Facebook ads for your beauty products for free or $20?

What If I want to place this idea on My Quora page with my email?

Waiting for your reply?

Thanks

Thanks Natasha!

The point of this post was not to go through the nitty-gritty details for you, it was to get you started. however I would make some stipulations based on your level of skill. You can maybe make some exact conditions such as:

--Will setup a Wordpress, SquareSpace, or Wix website for you.

--Will install from a template theme and do minor editing.

--Will spend 1 hour on a call with you setting everything up and training you on the basics of updating the website.

--Additional hours can be bought for $50/hour.

Something like that would make sure everyone's expectations are met.

I personally like to conduct my consults over video chat so I can work WITH the person instead of guess what they want all day.

Good for you getting better at your craft! I personally NEVER enjoyed that "hand-copying old ads."

I've done it several times, but honestly didn't learn much and got aching hands. Instead I would actually DO copywriting myself and see what works.

I've found a lot of those old ads written in the days of magazines and radio were hella scammy, filled with lies and over exaggerations. That's not the kind of copy I want to write.

Instead I have my own copywriting exercises I use, I actually wrote an entire article about this already, check it out June!

Great job with your bracelets David! I agree that kind of thing will likely start off first with your friends and family. That's why Step #2 of this exercise is to post your service on your personal Facebook page.

Your friends and family already like you (well.....most likely :-P ), so they are prime candidates to buy from you, especially if it's something personal as a custom bracelet.

I bet for you if you were to post that story you told here on your Facebook, and at the end say:

"If you would like one of these custom gemstone bracelets for yourself, let's schedule a time this week to sit down and make it together, it will be fun and memorable!"

......that could probably drum up a decent amount of business! Thanks for sharing your story David.

Hi Sulaksha, you never know until you try....BUT, I would predict people spending lots of money on Facebook Ads aren't going to hire someone with no experience.

Now if you DO have experience, I would write something more tempting such as:

"I have managed over $800,000 of Facebook Ads for 3 different companies in the last 2 years. I know how to manage large quantities of ads, I know what converts well on Facebook, and I know countless tactics to squeeze every penny out of the ads. Total returns for my ads have been 8x in the last year. If you would like to try me out as your Facebook Ads Manager, give me a shout or tag someone who might be interested."

.....see how much better that sounded? Now of course I made up those qualifications, but list your own.

Hope that helps Sulaksha!

Wow! And just like that... You snapped my biz back to life! Lol

Thank you for your time!

Good to hear Nathasha! But you don't only have to do this for Wordpress, you can do this same process for any skill you are good at: Writing, Image Editing, Copywriting etc to name a few.

Best of luck!

Thanks so much for this! I am just starting out in digital marketing and have been trying to figure out ways to break into the industry and get experience in order to get an agency job. I am going to apply this to PPC management on Craigslist. $100 to help people fix their AdWords campaigns.

What is this?? This is so crazy! I just posted the script on my FB page barely 15 minutes ago and have 2 people interested!! I've got a mini heart-attack when I hear those ping-pings!

Now I'm starting to panic, lol. I've got a couple of WP websites, so I know how to install and do basic setting up of pages. But I won't call myself a pro or anything of the sort. I'm probably just good for those looking for personal blogs or simple sites.

Oh dear, I hope I can do this! In case you're not confident like me, amend the script to 48 hours. It still works, evidently, lol!

I'm also the 'egoistic' type Neville was mentioning. I was overthinking things and just before I hit 'post', I'm like 'Screw this, just do it; if I fail, it's ok, it's not like I'll die, just lose face!'

Anyways, I also posted on Gumtree... so oh well, here's hoping things will work out somehow!

Thanks for your valuable reply. I will consider it.

Great article! How about applying this to holistic nutrition coaching? :) Thanks!!
