THE ANSWER TO: Is this a viable business and what would you charge?
I constantly see posts asking a derivative of the same question.
It always goes something like this.
I was thinking of doing X to make Y, is this viable?
How would you go about it and how much would you charge?
Here is the simple answer.
It is possible to make almost any amount of money doing almost anything.
I don't care what it is, the service is almost irrelevant.
If you search our lovely planet enough you will find people making money
doing the strangest things, some of them making lots and lots of money.
The real question is how much YOU can make
and what is the best way for YOU to go about it.
Nobody else can really answer that for you.
It's too personal.
Depends on your skills, how you are perceived, who you target, hell sometimes it's just the luck of finding one guy with deep pockets that believes your pitch that day.
That may not be very helpful so let me tell you a few things that are.
1. No matter how many people on here tell you that you can't make money
doing X, all that really means is THEY can't make money doing X.
2. No matter how many people on here tell you they are making a ton of money
doing X, they are often full of crap.
3. The ones that really are making lots of money doing X could make lots of money doing Y and Z because the service is not relevant, they know how to target and sell and/or their market perceives them a particular way.
As an example of perception some guys could offer to write an email drip for free and there would be no takers. Then you could take a few elite well known internet marketers that could ask 10k in cash for a series of emails and they could have a waiting list.
The general rule to making money on services is you can make money doing something people need to do but hate doing or find people already doing something that you can do better and show that there is at minimum a break even or even better a profit in paying you to do it. In other words the time they lose doing it plus the increased profits in you doing it ends up actually making them money to be hands off.
No matter who you seek advice from on here, at some point in their life the X amount of money you currently wish to make was a lot of money BUT to a decent sized business with cash flow $X is generally just another expense that does not get noticed much so making $X/month for any service that a business needs done or hates doing is certainly not asking for the moon and stars. That money will simply go to the person that can find those businesses and is perceived by that business as being able to deliver and having value.
SOMEONE could make what seems like that unattainable $X with one client. If that will be YOU depends on YOU. If YOU cannot seem to make that right now it is NOT the service you are offering, its YOU.
The good news is that it MAY be possible for YOU to get good enough at targeting, marketing and delivering services that you can make X with the service of your choice.
In short people bounce from service offer to service offer, don't make what they hoped and think I just have to find the right service, it's not my fault there is just no money in offering this service. That is not really true. The service may have some earning limitations but for the amount of money that most that are starting out would be happy with, almost any service would do.
