The 10 Day Challenge: Starting at $0...

Soupy - kudos, bro, kudos. I'm enjoying your journal here.

It sounds to me like you might be using local SEO vs. a local yellow pages book in front of you, cross referencing companies in the yellow pages without web pages, and selling them on the spot.

e.g. "Hello, I was browsing the Yellow Pages, saw your company, and realized you don't have a web page. My company is right down from the road, we're offering a $250 special this week only, a full complete web page etc etc"

Not exactly that, but I will be doing that tomorrow. I went ahead and got myself the yellow pages today! LMAO

EDIT: And by got I walked next door before I ordered food and told my neighbor I need theirs. Paid a dollar for it.

I'm now at $750 today ladies
 
I get it now.

So you've made over 200 phone calls. What are you doing about follow-ups?

I've found in my sales job that the customers REALLY like good follow-ups after my live sales visits. I sold some very high-tech stuff, and never had every answer. I'd e-mail a follow-up as soon as I got the answers from corporate.

If the customer cared, they'd read it all and click my links.

Last fall, a customer responded to an old ass 2007 e-mail follow-up I sent him. It turned into one of the biggest opportunities (which I won) I've had -- and I got recognition send to the entire company. I love e-mail follow-ups.

Don't worry about me stealing your niche. I'm going into IM to get AWAY from phones. All the power to you. I prefer to preserve my "social battery" for the ladies - only so much talking I can do in a day.
 
I have to admit I am now less skeptical than 1 hour ago, keep updating it

how do you plan to collect leads later? I suppose PPC or offline
are these customers in the same niche? this would make things easier

I'm sure he's thrilled that you just posted this lol

My method isn't that, but I'm going to use it tomorrow. Also, I don't think the competition can touch me. The quality, my sales pitch... One of the leads asked me what makes me different, when I told him... Done.
 
+rep man

I wasn't really sure what direction you were going to take this when you started, but so far it's damn good stuff. Keep it comin
 
So for the $250 you are going to build them a website that capture leads? or are you building a 5 page site in the niche and offering to send leads to them, making them pay $250 upfront to be featured on the site.

I am not trying to steal niches or ideas or anything I just want to know what exactly you are selling them on. Its not much of a case study unless we know whats going on.

I was interested in this, as well. I saw your answer but was still unclear. Are you selling a prebuilt website, or creating the website after you sell them?

Thanks

At a later date, I can't go into that. I'm only here to discuss days 1-10.

The important thing is the process, not the product.

Like I told one client today, "if you teach a man to fish, sure he can fish... But, what can he do when he's not near water? If you teach a man to hunt he'll understand how to fish when necessary."
 
Great job, I have a strong sales backround and while I have no idea what your script is, I am sure you have been able to create a sense of urgency with your customers which is vital. The best way I have made sales in the past is to make the prospect feel like if he/she doesn't get this right away the competetion is. Also creating value is key, combine those two and we see why you scored big on your first day.

Great Job !

Well look at the bottom line, even if this was it, I blurted it out because who cares? Each of us live in our own little communities here and it's easily duplicated without stepping on other people's toes...

1 day only sale baby!

Also I'm only posting this to show noobs that you can make any amount of money starting with Nothing.

Honestly, after today I may not keep on sharing... This is getting tiresome.
 

I'm going to be starting a 10 day challenge after being inspired by someone on here who's trying to figure out how they can get the money to start AM.
Wow, I saw this yesterday, and read through it, but I didn't notice that sentence? Did you mean me? That's awesome if you did! :D and looks really interesting, I'll be following this. Subscribed.
granted, he is that and good on him.
numbnuts who wants to raise $50 should pay attention to it
Thanks numbnuts, but for your information, I am, and have been since yesterday.

Also, I'd like to say, that, since setting up an article thread this afternoon, I've already got about 6 sales, worth a few hundred dollars. So yeah, I am taking action.

Get some rest , you deserve it.

I have to put my sales clothes on and start pounding the pavement again, I miss it and there is a lot of opportunity out there.

completely true, I agree. This is honestly one of the best ways to kick start an IM career, or even build a solid monthly income.
