How to do 'offline' the right way
I've been doing something along the same lines as this 'offline' thing for
a while.. but, among other things, there's one very important thing I do very differently then most of you.
Let's say you are really good at selling this, and you land 100 clients in your first year.
And let's say you charge them $500.
So, 100 clients x $500 = $50,000 that year.
The next year?
Assuming:
1) you aren't burned out
2) there's still business available in your town/city
Well, you will have to bust your hump even harder to try and sell some more..
Heck - let's be honest here: you really start from zero again every month.
You made 4k this month? great - but you're sitting on a big fat goose egg
when the next month rolls around. Have you ever seen the movie 'ground hogs day'? well, you'll be living it..
You can now probably guess what i do differently
In this scenerio, I would charge a recurring $39 per month instead a 1 time fee of $500 (or roughly divide your fee by 12)
100 clients @ $39/month = $46,800 PER YEAR.
When the second year rolls around, I'd still have $3,900 every month coming in even if I do not get any more clients.
I have clients sign an intitial 1 year contract, and then it's just
month-to-month, no contract, after that.
So in that second year, you are not starting over. You've actualy built a business, and one which you can continue to build vs treading water every month.
Plus, you can actually take time off, vacations, etc
