00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:06,780
Hey, Juan here, so let's go ahead and talk about the web design business model, so with the website

2
00:00:06,780 --> 00:00:11,750
design business model, I mean, this is a model that you can run from anywhere in the world.

3
00:00:12,330 --> 00:00:17,490
You really only need five things to get started with your Web design business.

4
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:20,220
And I'm going to walk you through that here in the next slide.

5
00:00:20,220 --> 00:00:26,250
But I just want you to think about the fact that with today's day and age, with technology, right.

6
00:00:26,250 --> 00:00:32,730
Where really all you need is a computer, a cell phone and a website.

7
00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:33,090
Right.

8
00:00:33,480 --> 00:00:40,040
And you can be working anywhere in the world and providing clients your web design services.

9
00:00:40,050 --> 00:00:42,300
So it's just a beautiful thing.

10
00:00:42,450 --> 00:00:45,290
It's a great thing for you to be able to take advantage of.

11
00:00:45,540 --> 00:00:47,870
And this is a super lean model here.

12
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:51,690
I mean, it's going to cost you under a hundred dollars to get started.

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,380
So let's go ahead and jump right into this lesson here.

14
00:00:55,350 --> 00:01:02,040
So the business model here, when you're starting your website design business, there are five things

15
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,600
that you're going to need, OK?

16
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:07,660
And this should cost you between 30 to 50 dollars to get started.

17
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Now, this could be less, but I'm just kind of giving you a rough estimate.

18
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,990
And really all you need is a website.

19
00:01:15,180 --> 00:01:19,440
OK, and I recommend WordPress and then hosting through like nothing cheap.

20
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,310
And I believe it's about twenty dollars a year for hosting.

21
00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:30,000
And then you want an email address and I highly recommend that when you get an email address you get

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,570
it within your domain.

23
00:01:31,620 --> 00:01:37,290
OK, so maybe you have like X, Y, Z webdesign, right.

24
00:01:37,290 --> 00:01:45,090
Dotcom, you want to make sure that you have your name at X, Y, Z, Web design company because it,

25
00:01:45,090 --> 00:01:50,550
you know, really portrays you and conveys that professionalism to your prospective clients.

26
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:50,790
Right.

27
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:55,890
Because you don't want to be running your business through like a Gmail because then people are not

28
00:01:55,890 --> 00:01:57,340
really going to take you seriously.

29
00:01:57,570 --> 00:02:02,850
So what you're trying to do here is really positioning yourself as somebody who is a professional.

30
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:03,090
Right.

31
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,620
You're serious about your business.

32
00:02:05,220 --> 00:02:09,090
You have your own email, you have your website, you have a custom logo.

33
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,300
You have, you know, booking software and you have a phone.

34
00:02:12,300 --> 00:02:12,590
Right.

35
00:02:12,810 --> 00:02:17,730
And so these are going to be the five things you're going to need the hosting, like I mentioned, that

36
00:02:17,730 --> 00:02:19,890
you can purchase through name cheap email.

37
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:23,760
I recommend you go to like G suites with the logo.

38
00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:30,740
I mean, you can build a logo in like five minutes, going to Kambah for free and then booking software.

39
00:02:31,290 --> 00:02:37,320
This is another feature again, that it's really positioning you as a professional, that you take your

40
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:38,400
business seriously.

41
00:02:38,670 --> 00:02:41,130
And I highly recommend Kalyani.

42
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,850
It's free and literally all it is, is you send somebody a link and they click on the link and then

43
00:02:47,850 --> 00:02:50,220
they can schedule a time to chat with you.

44
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:50,720
Right.

45
00:02:50,730 --> 00:02:55,200
And then you can have them answer some questions about their particular project.

46
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:55,730
Right.

47
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:56,940
And it's just really professional.

48
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:03,450
And then it gets connected to your calendar on your suite so that you'll get notified whenever somebody

49
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:04,620
schedules the call with you.

50
00:03:04,860 --> 00:03:08,520
And then it's just a whole professional type of setup.

51
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:08,820
Right.

52
00:03:09,450 --> 00:03:14,510
And then with the phone, you can use your cell phone or you can use Skype, whatever works best.

53
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:23,430
And so your job as a Web design agency business owner is to help businesses develop amazingly beautiful

54
00:03:23,430 --> 00:03:26,340
websites that showcase their brand image.

55
00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:26,570
Right.

56
00:03:26,580 --> 00:03:33,690
You want to be able to let these business owners know, hey, listen, your website is a direct reflection

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:39,000
of your particular brand image, just like if you had, you know, your retail location.

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:39,270
Right.

59
00:03:39,510 --> 00:03:43,590
You want your retail location to look a certain way to feel a certain way.

60
00:03:43,860 --> 00:03:46,890
And that is the same thing with your website.

61
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,060
You want it to convey a certain brand image to the public.

62
00:03:51,060 --> 00:03:51,380
Right.

63
00:03:51,870 --> 00:03:58,620
And the great thing about you as a Web design agency business owner is you don't need any special web

64
00:03:58,620 --> 00:04:04,870
design or development skills as you can outsource all of the website build and development.

65
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:10,590
OK, that's one of the great things there is that you don't need to be a web design expert.

66
00:04:10,590 --> 00:04:16,380
You need to be able to understand that the website is that brand identity brand image.

67
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,900
You need to be able to understand how to ask the right questions, how to position yourself as the authority

68
00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:22,500
expert.

69
00:04:22,650 --> 00:04:25,980
And I'm going to walk you through all of that here in this course.

70
00:04:26,020 --> 00:04:33,240
OK, and so typically what you're going to be doing is charging typically a one time fee for the design

71
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,530
and development, OK?

72
00:04:34,980 --> 00:04:41,550
And it's going to be anywhere between five hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars for a website.

73
00:04:41,550 --> 00:04:44,280
You have to kind of look at the particular business like.

74
00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:51,390
So, for example, let's say you have like a local business that is like a landscaper or maybe like

75
00:04:51,390 --> 00:04:58,980
a plumber, like they're going to have a budget of between 500 to like maybe fifteen hundred dollars

76
00:04:58,980 --> 00:04:59,790
or maybe a thousand.

77
00:05:00,130 --> 00:05:07,720
Right, because they are not going to spend thousands or even tens of thousands on a custom made website

78
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:09,240
because it doesn't make sense.

79
00:05:09,250 --> 00:05:09,510
Right.

80
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:15,670
But somebody who is maybe like an e-commerce business or maybe somebody that is been in business for

81
00:05:15,670 --> 00:05:19,210
years and they're looking to redesign their website.

82
00:05:19,220 --> 00:05:19,540
Right.

83
00:05:19,690 --> 00:05:25,390
They may want a whole new website built from scratch and those can be quite profitable.

84
00:05:25,540 --> 00:05:32,260
However, as I mentioned in one of the other previous videos, the custom made websites are going to

85
00:05:32,260 --> 00:05:33,270
be more profitable.

86
00:05:33,280 --> 00:05:37,300
However, they're going to take more time, more energy and more resources.

87
00:05:37,990 --> 00:05:43,600
And so that's why I recommend sticking with the templates, because with the templates, especially

88
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:50,350
through WordPress, you can still do quite a bit of customization and you won't need to, you know,

89
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:53,500
do a whole brand new website from scratch.

90
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:53,750
Right.

91
00:05:53,770 --> 00:05:58,690
So this is essentially here, the website design business model, right.

92
00:05:58,990 --> 00:06:04,580
It's super simple, super lean under 50 dollars and you can get started right away.

93
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,940
So that's going to be here for this video.

94
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:08,050
And we'll see you on the next one.

95
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,470
Thanks.
