2 So What Are We Doing? In this course we will be going over how to create free Wix and Weebly websites. These are both websites that allow you to create very professional sites using drag-and-drop features. They are incredibly easy to use and the websites you can create look just as good as well designed WordPress sites. The main method here is creating free websites that look incredibly professional and selling those websites or website templates to small businesses for around $100-$300. We will be doing this by looking through Directories that have business owners who currently do not have a site running. Also we will be going through how to find business owners who have sites hosted through Yahoo. Yahoo sites are extremely outdated and usually look pretty terrible, so offering a business a stunning looking website for only a couple hundred dollars usually makes them jump right at the offer. Step 1: Sign Up to Wix and Weebly I recommend you sign up for both of these sites and get a good grip on both of them. You can create an account on wix and weebly here: and These services are super easy to use. Just start messing around, it is all based on drag and drop features. So practice making some sites and getting used to the formatting. If you are totally lost here are some links to how to create a simple site on those platforms.

I recommend you brainstorm different niches like plumbing, window installation, dentistry, anything really

3 that is in your area and is a business. After looking up those businesses look their websites. A lot of the websites that you will find on the first page of Google will be pretty well made because most of the websites on the first page are professionally designed. Once you find a few websites that you like the look of, start creating sites very similar to them using Weebly and Wix until you have maybe two or four of them created so you can present them to the clients that you will be offering your services to. Step 3: Finding Your Potential Clients The first way you can find businesses to sell to is by using Google's search engine to find Yahoo hosted websites. As I have said before, Yahoo sites are incredibly old and outdated, most of them always need an upgrade. To find websites that are hosted by Yahoo you need to go to the google search bar and enter ( Powered by Yahoo! Web Hosting location ) For example, I typed in that search for Los Angeles: After I typed that these results came up:

4 Look how terrible this site looks!!!

5 After going through allot of the sites that come up after searching this phrase you will soon see how lucrative this can be. Just on that one search alone almost all of the sites that came up looked just as bad or worse than the site from the the picture above. As you can see the contact details for the site owner is usually on the site. So all you have to do is send them a good with your offer and a mockup of what their new site should look like. (Or some good sample websites you have made) Secondly you can also find businesses that have no websites created at all and offer to design a website for them as well. You can do this by looking through business directories. I recommend to just google local business directories or business listings based on what area you are in. You also can use some of the bigger directories like Yelp, Yellow Pages, Yell, etc. Using a mix of those larger directories and local ones usually

helps you find allot of good clients. Once you find a directory you like start looking through businesses and see if there are some without a website link showing.

6 helps you find allot of good clients. Once you find a directory you like start looking through businesses and see if there are some without a website link showing. If there is no website listed do a quick google search of the business name+city and check to see if the business does or does not have a site listed. If it doesn t have a site listed on the directory it should have the owner's number, , and address. I recommend you send a letter to the business with a hard copy of a mockup website. Sending a letter can really make you stand out especially if written well. You can also cold call or them explaining your offer but, I think sending a letter to the business is more unique. Here is a potential client I found on YellowPages I then looked on google to see if they had a site built seeing as there is no link on their listing:

7 As you can see there is no site created for this business. Therefore you would contact those owners with your offer. It s that easy.

8 Step 4: Closing the Deal The next thing you need to do is start sending allot of cold letters, s, or phonecalls. It is all a numbers game, eventually you will contact a business owner that will want the service you are offering. When you have made a deal with a client take around 3-6 days to make the website. Even if it takes you a couple hours or a day. You want to make them feel like you put allot of effort and soul into the site. Once you have the site created present it to them and accept payment. I always take payment through paypal but, you can do cash, bank wire, or whatever is better for you. Then transfer the site to them and you are all set. Step 5 (Bonus): How to Double Your Profits With A Client After you have established a good reputation with your client I recommend you start offering other services that can help their business. I would recommend to start with offering SEO services and explain to them the benefits of what SEO can do for their company. You really want to sell them on the idea that you can make them more money with what you are offering, tell them how SEO can help run local traffic to their business and increase sales and conversions for them. If you don't know how to do any SEO it's okay, you can always go on freelancing websites and outsource the service to find somebody to do it cheaper than what you would charge. I prefer using the sites Upwork and Odesk. You can also offer them social media management, new content writing, logo design and pretty much anything you can think of that either you know how to do or you can outsource. By offering these upsells you can easily double, triple, or quadruple your profits depending on how many of them the client purchases.

9 Summary: Just remember the only thing holding you back from making this system work is you. There are easily thousands of businesses that do not have websites or have very outdated websites that you can tap into starting today for free. Finding businesses that don't have websites made on business directories and finding those Yahoo websites is not difficult to do and it's all a numbers game. Keep hustling and sending those cold calls, s, and letters until you start getting clients. Eventually you'll contact somebody who is interested in what you are offering and can see the value in it. I wish the best of luck to everybody who has read this, now go out there and succeed. Support: Trey@fearlessboss.com
