One of the Best Ways to Earn $60-90K Per Year

The biz you can start in a weekend: Outsourced local services…
If you can make a website and get on phone calls, there's no reason why you can't build this.
Step one…
Find a high margin in-person local service.
This can be something like photography, drone photos, closet organization.
Search thumbtack for ideas.
Next 👇
Use thumbtack again to find the contractors to fulfill the services that you sell.
The key is to find contractors who have a few good reviews, but are likely hurting for leads.
You want to find Bob who has 7 hires on Thumbtack, not Samantha with 300 hires and 50 five star reviews.
Do a search on Google for Bob and get his personal number.
Give him a call and tell him you have more business than you can handle, and you'd like to sub some of it out to him.
Get a 'standard' price from Bob. You'll double his price when you sell it to your clients.
Then…
Build your local site and get a GoogleMyBusiness
Get friends to leave 5 star reviews on your Google My Business account…
📞 To generate leads…
Write a bunch of blog posts about photography in your town.
Post in local Facebook groups.
Send all traffic to a "contact us" form on your website.
When you get a new lead, call them as soon as you possibly can. Time is of the essence.
Ask them more about what they want. Once you've got a good idea, charge them 2X Bob's price. That gives you 50% margins.
Of course, it's easier said than done…
This is a bit over simplified, but I know it works because I've done it.
It's straightforward, but not easy.
Last words from Nic…
Will you make $200K+/year doing this? Unlikely.
But it's probably one of the best ways to replace a $60-$90K/year salary
We've featured people doing this kind of thing before 👇
So it's definitely doable.
What services could you do this for in your local area? 🤔
1.1 Million Monthly Visitors From Pinterest
Today's email is brought to you by Pin Point Traffic.
That's a brand new training by Jon Dykstra and Tony Hill that opened its doors today 🥳
It basically teaches you how to generate Pinterest traffic for niche sites.
🤓 Tony has proven to be an expert at this…
Twitter: 125k monthly clicks from Pinterest (crediting Tony)
Twitter: 10k daily clicks from Pinterest (crediting Tony)
Definitely worth giving this training a look if you have a niche site that's lost traffic recently.
I got early access and can verify that it's legit.
Doors close June 2nd.
Oh, and they've also launched this free PinClicks tool to help assess if Pinterest is a good traffic source for your niche 👍
This 5-Page Website Earns €1000 Per Month
Check out Jimpl, a simple 5-page website that lets you upload an image, then shows you its metadata, like when and where the image was taken 📸
Per a recent interview, the site makes €1000/month (about $1090 USD) via display ads.
Toni Manolache, the owner of the site says…
I’m a web developer, but I’m not the one who created Jimpl.
I needed to check the metadata for an older photo and that’s how I discovered Jimpl.
I really liked how simple, fast and to the point it was, so I emailed the owner and asked if he was interested in selling…
He agreed to sell it and we met in Budapest to make the deal.
The site was originally launched in 2010 and apparently grew organically over the years 📈
So not exactly something that would be easy to replicate in a hurry.
But there are probably lots of nice little cash-generating sites like this that could be acquired.
Keep an eye out for them as you're browsing the web looking for a specific solution like Toni was doing 👀
And if you do want to build something like Jimpl yourself, check out this story for inspiration…
