Let’s take a look at how I started an online service website, automated and sold it in less than a year.
I learned why most service businesses fail before they get off the ground and what you can do to make your business run like a well-oiled machine. I tested strategies and, over time, developed a system that put my business on (almost) complete autopilot.
Before even making a website for my service business, I identified, tested, and validated my niche.
Prerequisites:
- I recommend reading “How I Went From Broke Shoe Salesman to Making $1,000+ per week on Fiverr” to fully understand how I tested the waters for my service business using Fiverr before taking the plunge.
- I’d also recommend reading “The E-Myth Revisited” by Michael Gerber, it will help you start a business that works for you instead of the other way around.
