Hi BTO-

I’m new to wifi money and work an in person job that under pays me. Do you recommend getting into a SaaS sales role to earn more and free up some time to work on my business?

Hi BTO-

I run a local mortgage lending business. 100% of the business comes from sphere of influence and real estate agents referrals in our local market.

We started posting content on social media and Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. to generate business opportunities without having to be in person. The goal is to build a brand that will generate referrals.

I started reading the sub stack from the start. Is there anything I should highlight/focus on with being a service business where all of our income is local?

I want to become location independent while bringing on more clients.

TY-

you mentioned in the post that "I’m also considering taking on a few more clients on and writing about how to get different businesses off the ground or accelerated.", just curious if you are still taking on new clients at this moment? Thanks!

I am working on setting up a new affiliate marketing website in a specific niche and am analyzing existing websites and key words to see if the niche is worth giving it a try.

Could you please give some guidance (or name an article in which you covered it) on how attractive metrics look like and what niches to stay away from?

For instance, I understand that if on 1st page of SERP I find names of big websites, it will be very difficult for me to compete with them but at what point is the niche good enough and not too difficult to rank well enough?

Appreciate all the content. I've typed out a lot of dumb questions to you that I've been able to go back in your guides and find answers to. Been playing around with the ezoic access now program, and so far the pain hasn't been worth the $1 I made.

I'm interested in your setup, are you working primarily for yourself as freelance? Do you have staff and is it hard to scale?

By way of intro - used to run a software business, had staff but was incredibly difficult to scale as the work we did was customized heavily and bespoke dev so you couldn't replace developers with others. We were therefore very sticky with our clients, but couldn't move beyond a small team.

I would've liked to grow it far more and offer simpler/productized services to get to the annuity model that other software dev houses have managed.
