- Yes, the domain area was something that I was interested in already, but not necessarily practised.
- Quite honest, I chose it purely on price and the design of the items bought. The dev put in effort to get everything designed nicely.
- No, not at the time. It was a rails project so quality was not considered since its too easy to add on/rewrite where needed
- Got customer lists, source code + design source, social media pages, analytics, payment profiles, domain.
- I had a network locally that I knew I could sell to. I sold hard and 3 big agencies are now using it at a decent monthly fee.
- Definitely! I'm scouring 1k daily now and have found a few other gems.
I was lucky and found a small little gem on 1kprojects.com that turned itself into a nice little profitable side-project in 5 weeks (not linking to it because i don't want to seem like I'm advertising). Making half my monthly salary at my day job from it.
Sometimes it's just the simplest, least technical and gimmicky things that make money.
The best investment I ever made was purchasing an old banged up Porsche 911T from a movie studio and keeping it garaged for nearly 13 years. I sold it for nearly 70 times the amount I bought it for.
> how much money they saved using your pricing model
Ah, that's a brilliant idea!
> If they are looking for a 1-3 page website, the price is going to be an immediate turnoff
That might actually explain what could be happening at the moment. Potential customers are scanning the content and not noticing the headline explaining that its for mobile services.
Our designer is taking all this feedback and making changes, we'll probably roll it out early next week.
Thanks for the suggestion. I bought the book you suggested and will give it a read this weekend.
We think we have a clear idea of who the buyer is, but it's been tough trying to actually get our message/brand in front of them as the conventional ways I mentioned previously only get us attention from other people like us.
Wow! Thanks for taking the time to provide so much valuable insight - I really appreciate it. I'm going to give it some more thought (especially around the psychological aspect of positioning and how we convey the message and price).
We have a few big name clients, but the size of the projects we've done for them don't necessarily reflect that, so the case studies are tough to pull off.
I never thought of the pricing like that, but definitely going to put my thinker on around it.
