Great video, thanks for sharing it. The most important thing for SMMA is to have some kind of strategy (for example I use some boosting tools, like a little bit of Famester here and there, and it really helps massively). The best thing is that clients are not complaining as long as they see good results :)

Just an idea we use at our agency that works super well, upsell a monthly 'management fee' on top of your hosting fee for all those little fixes and amendments instead of letting them edit. Fulfill any and all needs they have in terms of the site. Either do them yourself in 30 seconds or just hire a cheap freelancer and give them every request directly? This makes you so much stickier and your relationship with the client builds so much stronger because you're always seen as a 'saviour' saving the day when they have a bug or fix that needs doing. Especially, if you fix it straight away when they ask. Some months there's no fixes needed so you make money literally for free! Get in touch if you want to know anything more specific but that's essentially what we use.

Hey Juan, this looks awesome. I respect that you switched because you weren’t liking SMMA. When I first started my agency I had the exact same thoughts as you - this is way too hard and I don’t like it. I managed to push past that point and honestly am loving it now, even though my clients aren’t getting AMAZING results. Still good, but not amazing. I feel like SMMA is not for most people because they think it’s just a money grab. It’s not - it’s difficult, but I personally enjoy it and don’t see the point in giving up. WAAS probably has its downsides as well, but from what you say it seems a lot simpler for service delivery. Thanks a lot, I enjoy watching you grow. I’m only 15 btw!

Interesting move to Website dev. I’ve been on the fence to add SMMA to my portfolio because of all the moving parts and the churn rate. I was a graphic designer & web developer many years ago, then became a Project Manager overseeing 7-10 contractors at a time building sites, creating ads, etc. I’m in live video production now for over a decade. Thought briefly about getting back in dev game, but brushed it aside to research SMMA. You’ve peaked my interest again on the website dev side of things. Look forward to seeing how this new journey plays out for you. Best of luck. Added my email to the Inner Circle.

Are High-Level websites actually quality designs? Or do they suck? I design my own websites run lead generation campaigns and get high conversion rates because I focus so much on the UX/UI and messaging, but it is a lot of work, so I am curious about High Level.

what if they dont want your hosting service.. just website? how you can send that over

man did a thomas gonnet with the GHL links

Service as a software can be a website and doesn't have to be named differently. All your doing is not providing the clients with other services offered by agencies such as lead gen. Its smart to niche down then offer more as you gain the necessary skills to deliver value to the clients.

Buena Idea Juan, the website building pays the fees to acquire the clients and you get the montlhy subscription. Do you target a specific niche ?

@juansmmajourney

8 ай бұрын

Exacto! And no right now we’re doing broad servicing different niches but something we’re thinking about in the near future

So you build a website thru highlevel, right and you intergrate what ? why they pay 100$ ? just to host or there is some sort of live chatting with clients ... type thing going on thru highlevel ? and what problem you solve, they pay you for a web and how do they know that ThIS website will bring them clients ect.

This business model sounds good brother! Are you charging your clients $3400 for this service?

just a few questions..do you have a 30day trial? and..what do you do with clients that only want a website...they have their own hosting..can you build and transfer the site..keep up the good work

Hey Juan, two quick questions. 1. at this point in time right now, I don't have enough to get highlevel but I genuinely wanna be in the club to learn so do I need highlevel to get a spot? 2nd. If ghl is needed to get a spot should I do the starter or the $297 plan. Im serious about this so definitely when I can get highlvl again, I will. but for now I want to make sure I can at least get a spot. thanks again!

Its my first time hearing about it but thats how i understood it i have no prior experience in the space other than the research ive done on different business models so far.
