Hey Drop Servicers, Dylan Sigley here
welcome back to another video
so today we're going to be talking about
how to make your first 100 000
online with the drop servicing business
before we get started
make sure you like the video because
that helps the algorithm let's get into
it
[Music]
today i'm going to show you how drop
servicing works
and provide you with the blueprint you
need to get started
and on your way to making your first 100
000
in revenue i'm going to explain first of
all how to choose a niche
how to present your offer to potential
clients and how to build a team
then market your service and finally how
to actually deliver results for clients
wow this sounds like a lot of work right
i'm not gonna lie
it is but it is possible if you're
prepared to follow my tried and tested
model firstly
for those of you not familiar as to what
drop servicing is
drop servicing is when you sell digital
services to clients like website design
copywriting social media marketing and
many other services
and then once you get those clients or
projects you employ
other freelancers to carry out the
majority of the project's work
before later building those freelancers
into an in-house team
your job is focused on signing up
clients and managing projects to make
sure they're delivered to a higher
standard
so drop servicing is basically like how
subcontracting works in industries like
construction
it's not a new idea it's been around in
various forms for hundreds of years
the only difference is now it can be
done online
so here's how you get started you first
need to choose a niche
you can drop service almost anything
there's a market for
you don't need to be an expert about a
particular service
but you do need to at least understand
how that service works so you can make
sure you're delivering quality product
so if you choose to sell a blog writing
service
you should be able to at the very least
know what high quality content looks
like
even if just from a reader's perspective
for services like web development
you'll probably need to know quite a lot
about it to ensure that the work is
completed to a high standard
so you can avoid the more technical
services if you don't understand them
now i know many entrepreneurs have built
successful drop servicing businesses and
categories like
email copywriting web design or
development
social media advertising blog writing
ad copywriting video content ideally
you want to choose a niche that is
highly profitable
easy to understand and easy to sell
the more simple your business is the
easier you will be able to sell it to
clients
find freelancers and scale your business
so it just comes down to simplifying
things
so you know how to sell that and sell
the results they're going to get
you don't need to stress too much about
it if you pick the wrong niche in the
beginning
you'll be able to test out different
services without having to spend huge
sums of money
in fact you can even use free methods in
the beginning so if your niche
isn't in demand as you first thought or
you have problems delivering the service
you can always pivot to a new niche in
the future once you have found your
niche
take a look at the competition one of
the biggest mistakes people make
is spending time trying to find out what
they think people want
when the easiest thing to do is look at
what clients are already spending money
on
that's way easier isn't it pretty
obvious right so
you don't need to overthink the service
that you offer look around at what
competitors are doing
and just copy what is already working in
the marketplace
you can use upwork to search for
services that are in high demand
and get a good idea about what prices
are being charged for them
and ideally you're going to want to find
projects that pay better so
target high gdp countries where the
budgets tend to be a bit higher
expectations are higher too so just
watch that to make sure you can deliver
or you can just google other services to
see what other companies offering
how they're offering it and how much
they're charging for example
just google blog writing services and
you'll be able to find
a number of companies already offering
the service
go to their websites see how they're
marketing that service
and really the big takeaway here is just
copying what's already working
in the market you don't need to reinvent
the wheel to build a successful drop
servicing business
so now that you know what your
competitors are offering
you need to create your own compelling
offer
that you're going to present to clients
so let's say that you're going to offer
blog writing services for clients
you could decide to offer three tiers of
writing services
gold silver and bronze each at a
different price point
and with a different amount of blogs
that you'll write for clients each month
right what you really want to focus on
is providing a service that offers real
value to your clients
and that solves an actual business
problem crafting your offer from the
client's perspective
will help you create compelling offers
they can't refuse
for example a business might have a
part-time writer
at eight hundred dollars per week write
five blog posts per week
if you can offer them a blog writing
service for four hundred dollars for the
same amount of blog posts you're saving
them four hundred dollars a week
and providing a really valuable service
so standing out and
looking professional in the market is
key you need to present yourself
and your company well to clients so to
do this you're going to want to make
sure
you build a website and have your
profiles on all the top freelancing
platforms
i'd recommend starting out with
something easy to use like wordpress
to build your website and provide your
clients with payment options there so
having a good looking website will make
you look way more professional
and clients are a lot more likely to
trust you if your site is well crafted
and highlights the value that you can
bring to their business right pretty
obvious
so our next step is to find freelancers
who can help you with project delivery
okay guys i can't stress this next bit
enough you need to put a team of
freelancers together that will actually
carry out the work for each project that
you secure
you're not going to be able to scale
your business and generate 100k
if you're writing over 30 blog articles
a week yourself right for example
so luckily there are a bunch of
platforms out there for hiring
freelancers so it's actually pretty easy
once you get started a few of the main
platforms are upwork
fiverr freelance.com people per hour
student job boards you can even hire
people on linkedin and
normal job boards like indeed uh but i
recommend upwork because
on these platforms you can post an ad
and request they get in contact with you
approach hiring freelancers like you
would hiring an employee after all
it's still your business right so before
you jump in and hire someone
make sure that you give them a pay test
to do like writing a short trial blog
post
take the time to review their profile
feedback rating
length of years in the industry and how
much they're charging obviously right
so from there you can create a short
list of freelancers
and pick the top ones that you like so
the platforms usually have a favorite or
save button
to make this easy for you a common
pitfall i hear from people starting out
though
is going for the cheapest freelancers to
maximize profits
this seems like the smart thing to do
but it can easily damage your business
if the quality of work is subpar it's
better to spend a little bit more to get
a more talented freelancer
to work with over the long term and that
means you're going to be keeping clients
over the long term so
it's really important that you get that
step right it's probably the most
crucial part of building a successful
drop servicing business
once you've found your freelancers you
need to work on marketing your service
so
i recommend you start with something
that's automated like email campaigns
and free
like email campaigns so having a flair
for marketing is a skill you'll need to
have or be willing to learn
to make a drop servicing business
successful so what you'll discover is
that you can charge more if you know how
to package up
and market your services as a
value-added problem-solving package
then when you're ready to launch your
service to clients automated email
campaigns are by far the most
cost-effective and time-saving way
you're going to find fine clients so i
highly recommend using them
when you're starting with your job
servicing business and sure guys you can
send out emails to your clients one by
one
but it's really time consuming and it's
quite tedious so
if this is where you want to start go
for it it's by no means wrong
but you're going to find that you have a
lot less time to focus on your business
it's going to take longer to build so
with automated campaigns
you can send out hundreds of emails a
week to your highly targeted client list
and the whole campaign can be automated
like i said so you can set it up so the
client has sent an initial email
and then follow up emails the aim should
be to get the client to go to your
website and book a sales call with you
or to directly buy your services from
your website so
usually they're going to do that if it's
cheaper than you're going to get on the
call with you or your sales team it's
more expensive
it's all about building up and creating
a sales funnel that works for you even
while you sleep
so now you're up and running you can
focus on delivering your services to
clients bringing on new clients and
scaling up to one hundred thousand
dollars in revenue and you can really do
that just with one marketing channel
like cold email
building scale in your business is all
about establishing a freelance team
and getting a system in place to deliver
value to your clients as efficiently as
possible so they come back to you
again and again to buy more services you
want to make sure that you have a team
of freelancers in place
to complete client work on demand so you
can spend your time
signing up new clients and building
business relationships
you want to build your business up so
that you have a pipeline of client
projects
and even an over demand so once you know
what you're doing
it won't be hard to find more
freelancers to increase your capacity
automation is going to be your friend
here guys so automating tasks frees up
your time
sometimes hours a day so that you can
focus on more important tasks they're
actually going to help you scale your
business
and the sooner you can automate tasks
the faster you're going to be able to
grow your business
so every part of your business can be
automated
with people or software so your
freelancers are the people right so
ideally you want to get to the point
where the whole process from emailing
prospective clients to project delivery
is automated this allows you to build
massive scale in your business
so if you're like most people watching
my vids you're wanting to hit that magic
100k
mark and i know it seems daunting but
it's really not seriously
let's have a quick look at why so to get
to one hundred thousand dollars in
revenue
break it down into smaller goals one
hundred thousand dollars is ten ten
thousand dollar projects or twenty five
thousand dollar projects
that's less than one a month or
fortnight so this helps to make the goal
feel more achievable
it just takes hard work and discipline
to follow a tried and proven method
so that's pretty much all you need to
get there and we've covered a lot
i've gone into it about how you can set
up and scale your drop servicing
business
but to recap drop servicing can be a
great business start online
it's easy to implement and it's
realistic to earn good amounts of money
by solving other business problems the
thing with drop servicing
is that there's no physical good you're
not going to lose money on shipping
costs
and you'll not have a lot of customer
complaints about bad products because
you're hiring a team that can deliver
high quality services
and that's going to allow you the
ability to deliver a high quality
product at the end of the day so
hopefully in this video you learnt a lot
of things you can actually implement in
your business
it all comes down to finding a service
creating an irresistible offer
and putting the offer in front of as
many people as possible using something
like cold email
to get you to that 100k level so let's
do it jump in and use those strategies
and i'll talk to you in the next one
