Listen to Remiah's discussion with 's Resident Success Coach, Michael Gebben AKA "Gebbs" AKA "The Mind Mechanic" in our latest 1 Page Wednesday highlight.
Remiah is a descendent of a long line of entrepreneurs, but he actually got into it by accident.
His friend's wife needed the creation of a site for her company. He attended a couple of college classes where he learned how to create websites which is why he decided to give an attempt. The wife of Remiah said that the site was quite good, and advised him to continue.
So he headed to his office (AKA the table in the kitchen) and created a $300 web design package. The next day, he went door-to-door day, and signed two contracts. His boss at the time had heard about the side hustle and was happy to allow it so long as Remiah took care of what was expected from him.
Remiah considered his position to be an obstacle to his business final destination. During a conversation with his boss, the boss expressed his opinion that Remiah was not a suitable professional. That stung a bit.
He made a leap of faith. Remiah was now Remiah's boss after which two and half years later he reached six figures in the year 2016. This was when he felt it was in his best interest hiring some extra help to allow him to concentrate on advancing his business.
Copywriting was not his favorite thing to do however he understood the importance it was for the success of his company. What's great for those like the one he was (and you) is that the official Fiverr Marketplace has professionals ready to handle anything from graphic design and advertising to PDF creation for your digital downloads and much more.
It wasn't a factor for Remiah in 2019 until after he had watched the webinar. He had previously considered WordPress, Woo Commerce and Leadpages however, they proved to be far too complicated and inefficient.
Remiah was not using for about eight months but the time the time came, his firm, "Doubled, plus a small amount."
Like many, Remiah was forced to think outside the box during the outbreak. He was looking diversify his work. He had been more focused on offering services, however, he knew he needed to change his focus, and so it was time to offer his services in a product. "That was the turning point for me ."
In addition, his company grow by more than doubling the increase, but it also became easier as well as less exhausting.
The Next Paragraph Frustrating
"Before I'd like to conduct a consultation. I'd send them a suggestion. They'd accept the idea. There was a proposal I made that was attached to the deposit. If they decided to accept it the deposit could be paid immediately, however in the second half required me to mail an invoice...that is a lengthy process that takes time...maybe you hear someone say, "The proposal is fantastic but could we do certain changes?' Today we've made changes, and now I have to do another invoicebecause the proposal payment is no good. This is just taking up my attention ."
Today, Remiah simply conducts consults, emails his URL, and then clients can make purchases on the site. Customers then receive an automatic confirmation email from which Remiah continues to send promotions after having sold inside that email.
Imagine going through each step with our current technology. It's not a reason to be able to do that. What's the reason you'd need multiple pages?
"I can create a one-pager in in 10 minutes if I need to." Remiah knew that only one page was sufficient to be the instrument required to simplify his work.
"You are the best!" one page. I told myself, "I'm going to design that. I'm going to start doing one-page websites because it works...I created a one-pager on , and then I created the perfect one page in my pitch way of thinking and in everything else I want to thank you guys. I modeled you ."
It's humbling knowing that an internationally renowned designer was inspired by the design we created. The most popular item he sells is his one-pager that is only available through . "It has changed my perspective to say, 'You don't need all the fluff. '"
Removes the hatred
"It's really a no-brainer tool. It can help you simplify your company so that it allows you to concentrate on selling and marketing as well as all that back-end accounting stuff that we hate You don't need to think about it. They're taking care of that part and creating a fun experience to complete. ."
Don't you hate doing stuff you hate? We hate that, and would hate for you to be forced to perform that.
"That's one of the most enjoyable ways to look at how many people came to the page, and did it make a difference? Wow, this is converting at 20% or 30%. It's only 3%. What's different about this than this?' It kind suggests to me that your marketing is spot on. The way you're advertising here is a snare. .'"
Knowing Remiah is thriving and generating recurring income is just the icing on the cakes for us. He's at the point where the event he didn't buy a thing this month his business will still generate 10,000 in revenue recurring.
That sounds like fun, too. What's not to love?
Remiah is a frequent user of the monthly plans for payment to benefit himself Knowing that the Subscription Saver available on the Scale plan tracks of missed payments has made life easier for him, because it was saving time and money.
" He has recovered between $2,000 to $5,000 of payments on a monthly basis. It's quite a sum." Prior to this, if he got a failed payments, there was an opportunity for him to ignore it for a month or two. So, upgrading to a new account was an easy decision for his. It saves him time and money. There is no need to go through the process of finding those failed payments anymore. "I am less prone to risk as I'm performing all the work ."
Give Customers What They'd Like
"One that I am a fan of, too, is the pay What You Want (PWYW) feature. I teach a lot of masterclasses I would offer for free. I would normally do this on a free basis. Then I'll say that it's up to you to pay for what you'd like. The minimum is $1...most people pay $1. Some people pay $17. At times one pays $100 ."
The author has earned $1000 through an online masterclass for free, and after he's added an order bump, "Like an eBook, an eBook that costs $7 eBook now your orders are now $8, not one dollar."
Order bumps have also made monthly subscriptions an easy choice for his customers, and even though his online business earns an average of $10,000 per month, he's still making tweaks. "I yet to create my funnels in a complete manner but I'm not there yet. I've not yet set up my back offers and I'm sure there's more to continue to go ."
Remiah is an innate social networker. Therefore, obtaining traffic isn't a huge obstacle for him. There are many methods of attracting traffic. "I'm like 80% organic. I don't do a lot of ads. I don't do a lot of Facebook advertisements." He also does social shoutouts in which he pays the other sites to highlight the page.
Also, he is live every day beginning at nine a.m. Central Standard Time along with the Freaking Amazing Business Show that helps build his community through instructing and encouraging.
"I have a list of texts. I have people who are on my list of texts, as well as in my email lists, and then from there I keep inviting people back to my space as they're in the mood to conduct business with me, I'm there. I'm ready."
He's proof that you don't require millions of followers or subscribers to run an online company. "Ten individuals is sufficient to run a successful business, provided that you have the right method of operation."
Let Your Customers be Your MVP MISSION-Driven MVP
