Welcome!!!

Hi James! These are great questions. I think the BEST thing for you to do would be to go back to the beginning of the playlist and listen to a few of my early episodes. It's not about charging a setup fee and then justifying the rest. The whole subscription mindset is to charge one monthly fee for the design, build, and management. It's justified because they are under contract and the website is not paid in full until a minimum of 18 months has passed. And of course, there are many more reasons that I can't possibly cover in one UA-cam comment :)

@@swschramm Thank you!

Thanks man! Yeah it's totally scary, but I know I have such a supportive community and it's going to be for the best!!!

Hey brotha, hit me at steve@northmacservices.com

Welcome!!!

Glad I could help!

Thank you!!

This is true in a sense, for sure. There are obvs web designers who charge a premium and do a great job. But they are able to position their value to get a business result.

That's a good question! I think it comes do what your goals are and how difference the audiences are. On the recent episode with Stephanie Hudson we actually discussed this; I would recommend checking it out. Basically, if you are serving two entirely different audiences (like we are), you'd use two separate websites and give the appearance of two separate businesses to avoid brand confusion. If the audiences are the same and it's just a little different offer, you could do a landing page on your current site!

Excellent point. Those who want to create website on their own are already doing it. Those who don't would continue to hire designers

I like it man! I think you make a great point. I use AI for those items as well!

Yeah... it's interesting. I hope, in a sense, we can achieve your first sentence, yet avoid your second sentence. That may be impossible. But I think overall it does make sense for AI to do all tasks that don't require human creativity. This will require even more humans to attempt tapping into their creative potential instead of sitting idly by.

Thanks buddy!

lol don't be a hater

Actually I NEVER delete comments. The system frequently does (for example, if you posted a link). I LOVE interacting with counterpositions. Please try sharing again or email me directly - steve@northmacservices.com

Hey man! I lay all of that out here: skyviewmarketing.co/a-statement-on-ai-tools-and-modern-marketing/ My best piece of advice is not to be afraid of it. Embrace it.

Well, those are each a little different. Shared hosting would normally be compared against a Virtual Private Server (VPS). Reseller hosting is usually taking a VPS and then "reselling" it to your clients. I always recommend a VPS over shared hosting. Reselling is more case by case.

So awesome Bill! Glad to have you on board!

Right?! So pumped!

Right?! I really appreciated her perspective on this.

@@swschramm everyone's strategy is different. Eventually, the companies that aren't built to stand the test of time will cease to exist.

I'm glad to see her back, too!

Me too!

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

Thanks so much! I plan to!

Agreed!

Thanks man! Yeah it's like a lease-to-own. They lease it from me for a minimum of 18 months, at which point they can take possession. You'd have to talk to a lawyer about how best to structure in terms of the specifics, but we've never run into any issues with those things! We work together to make sure the website is covered on those aspects. In a sense, we both take "ownership" of it. But the legalities of that will depend on how your contract is structured, etc.

Thanks! You can either (1) use a code snippets plugin to insert the code, (2) insert the code right into the functions.php file (probably not recommended for you), or (3) install the Fathom WordPress plugin! Options 3 is likely your best bet!

Hey, thanks man!

NICE!!!! That's a different approach - you doing template-based sites or something?

You're too kind! Thanks so much!

Thanks man! steve@northmacservices.com :)

Thank you!! Yes, sure do. skyviewmarketing.co and promembershipsites.com :)

Glad it was helpful!! And thanks for the kind words. :)

Hey there! Well first off, I'd advise checking out this interview with a guy who's doing this in lawn care: ua-cam.com/video/V6dlt4WzjEs/v-deo.html I think this niche can absolutely be done. I think you need to realize that within a niche, you can move upmarket. I promise, there are lawn care people who can afford your services :) You just need to know how to get the right ones interested!

Hmmm gosh, that is not ringing a bell with me for some reason! I definitely know a lot of people using a template-based approach, but I don’t recall in the party/event niche right off. I will think about it and get back to you if it comes to mind!

Hey there! I have lots of stuff that pertains to beginners, but I don’t yet have an episode outlining that full workflow. I’ll put it on the list! Coming your way soon!

Hey there!! No, I don’t, although I do have teaching on marketing and sales within my course and membership! I don’t use an exact sales script because in each conversation, the customer tells me what matters to them, and that becomes the sales script. That’s a bit controversial, I know, but it’s what works for me!

Hey there, sorry, it may be hard for me to answer your question because I am not sure specifically where that button is. My guess is it’s one of the buttons that would have to be changed with CSS.

@@swschramm Tnx a lot . I fixed it ❤️

Oh yes! There’s more than one way to see success, and what I hoped to show was another example of a framework you could adopt or adapt to meet your needs :)

Hey there! Well, that’s a really hard question to answer. First of all, VA is huge! But also there’s not necessarily a direct correlation between a state and the niches it has, nor is there really a way to say which is “best.” I would advise you to start by thinking in terms of areas in which you are personally knowledgeable and passionate about, and then from there, look to see how profitable those niches are.

I would recommend you check out the video that I did on pricing considerations not too long ago. In general, yes, you should absolutely charge more for e-commerce websites and custom websites. At the very least you need to deal with the fact that e-commerce websites are simply bigger than others because they may have a lot of products. It’s also harder to manage them because there are more moving pieces In general, then, what you wanna do is determine an estimate for how long it would take you to set up a site like that choose a reasonable hourly rate and then start your pricing from there. Ultimately you may have to end up pricing out each site differently because no e-commerce sites are the same.

Glad it was helpful!

Hey there! At this time, we only do custom websites. We don't have a template-based offer at all, though we are working on something to that effect right now :) I have LOTS of thoughts on going niche vs generalist. This is the video where I went into the most detail as to my thoughts on this: ua-cam.com/video/k3Ejl8Fq3t8/v-deo.html But it's probably time to create another one simply comparing the two options. Writing that down for a future video idea!

TY!@@swschramm

Heads up, just recorded that video, and it’s going live in the next week or two! :)

@@swschramm Thanks!

Awesome Kara!!! Thanks for the kind words :)

Thanks my friend!
