Room for many new freelancers/ agencies to come in, kill it, and make a killing. CONS + Lots of A/B testing. + You can’t just copy templates and be successful. + You need to be original to have long-term success. 16 >> COLD OUTREACH www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK DEAL TYPES SETUP FEE Charge your new clients $1K-$5K upfront so you can onboard them, buy lead lists, craft emails, buy their domains, subscribe to software, etc. + Always charge a setup fee if possible, no matter what kind of deal type you choose RETAINER Charge a monthly fee that doesn’t change based on results. Ex: You charge a client $3K/mo. and guarantee 10 appointments. I don’t recommend this because it caps upside and puts unnecessary pressure on you. I recommend the per-appointment model or a combo. PER-APPOINTMENT Charge per qualified sales appointment you set up for your client…$200-500 per appointment is a good range. PER-CLOSE Charge per appointment you set up that your client CLOSES… $1K-$5K per close is a good range. REVENUE SHARE Client pays you a percentage of revenue from clients you help bring in. Typical range is 5% to 50%, and anywhere in-between depending on deal size, leverage you have, your negotiating skills, etc. EQUITY Every time you hit a specific KPI (X appointments set, Y new clients closed), you get a piece of equity. Highly recommend doing this if you can, and combining it with a lower per-appointment or retainer fee. COMBO Combine per-appointment with rev share, or retainer with per close, or per-appointment with per-close, etc. 17 >> COLD OUTREACH www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK 10 NICHES YOU CAN SELL TO 1.

There’s a war going on between Apple and Facebook. Apple made it so users can opt out of being tracked, and that messed with Facebook’s ad tracking/targeting system. Instead of interest-based ads, users are now receiving mostly actionbased ads which are based on what a user talks about/clicks on/posts JUST directly on Facebook. Before, it was based on a users interests ALL OVER the internet. Now they can track just on Facebook. Facebook makes changes on a whim without warning which have big effect on the marketplace. But… it’s a huge company and relies on ads for it’s profits so it won’t do anything in the near future to compromise it’s ad platform. It’ll also push its weight around to fight to keep making their profit.

They can appear before, during, and after videos on the platform. • In addition, the ads can appear as suggestions in search results and on your main feed. Ads do not show up for people who subscribe to YouTube Premium. PROS + High margins. + High value skill. + Many competitive advantages waiting to be discovered/found. + Easy to sell for $2K+/month per client…even $5K+/month per client. + Possible to do rev share with big clients and make tens or hundreds of thousands a month per client. + High-in-demand skill but there aren’t many freelancers or agencies that specialize in YouTube ads. Big opportunity here. CONS + A little harder to learn due to lack of resources. + The only way to become skilled is to run ads yourself. + Requires significant A/B testing & optimizing to become highly skilled. 54 >> YOUTUBE ADS www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK DEAL TYPES SETUP FEE Charge your new clients $1K-$5K upfront so you can onboard them, set up their YouTube channel and Google Ads manager. + Always charge a setup fee if possible, no matter what kind of deal type you choose RETAINER Charge a monthly fee that doesn’t change based on results. For example, you charge a client $3K a month for running ads. I don’t recommend this because it caps upside and puts unnecessary pressure on you. Recommend revenue share or combo. REVENUE SHARE Charge for performance by taking 5% to 30% of the revenue earned from your clients’ YouTube ads. COMBO Charge a combination of a retainer and rev share. Since you’re doing a combo, most likely your retainer won’t be very high and rev share will be a bit lower than if you’re just doing a rev share. 55 >> YOUTUBE ADS www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK 10 NICHES YOU CAN SELL YOUTUBE ADS SERVICE TO 1.

PROS + Easy to learn and execute. + High value skill. + Predictable revenue month to month, easy to charge $2K+ monthly retainers. $6-$10K+/mo once established. + Big opportunity to add lots of value: most businesses don’t have email lists and/or aren’t using them well.

Automations are fixed sequences which are triggered whenever an action is performed. For example, Welcome sequence, abandoned cart sequence, post-purchase sequence, etc. You set them up once, and they run whenever the action is triggered. You can charge a one-time fee of $3K-$4K for setting up 3-5 automations. RETAINER Charge your clients a flat monthly fee that doesn’t change based on performance. Typically $2K-$8K. Includes setting up automation, running campaigns, A/B testing, optimizing, etc. PER-EMAIL Charge for every email you write (usually $100-$400+ per email) PER-LAUNCH Hook up with a client for a product launch and charge them a flat fee or revenue share of the sales you bring in for that launch. REVENUE SHARE Charge your client nothing upfront, take a percentage of the sales you bring in. You handle everything. Setting up automation, running campaigns, A/B testing, optimizing, etc. Typical rev share is 5-15%. COMBO Combine a lower retainer and lower percentage of rev share. Always try to get a percentage of rev share if you’re bringing in lots of revenue for your client(s). This is a good way to dip your toes with a client that might be apprehensive. 65 >> EMAIL MARKETING www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK 17 NICHES YOU CAN SELL EMAIL MARKETING SERVICES TO ECOM INFO PRODUCTS 1.

Text message will take you 5-10 minutes. 74 >> SMS MARKETING www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK CONS + Many brands don’t collect phone numbers yet (in 2021). If a brand doesn’t have many phone numbers, you won’t make many sales, so the brand won’t pay you much. + More expensive to run SMS marketing than email marketing, because you’re paying per text message per person. + Many brands do SMS in-house because they think it’s super easy. It is easy to do a mediocre job. Not if you want to do it really well, so you might have to convince some prospects that it’s worth it to hire a specialist. + Easy to annoy subscribers if you send more than 3 messages to a customer in a week. HOW TO KNOW IF SMS MARKETING IS A GOOD FIT FOR YOU + You’re personable & charismatic (managing client relationships & how to talk to subscribers) + You’re a good copywriter + You’re a good communicator + You know the psychology of young people (Gen Z, Millennials etc) + You’re analytical, critical thinking, and have high attention to detail 75 >> SMS MARKETING www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK DEAL TYPES RETAINER This is the most popular deal type. Charge a monthly fee that doesn’t change based on results. For example, you charge a client $3K/month flat. REVENUE SHARE Client pays you a percentage of revenue from sales you make via SMS. Typical range is 5%-20%, and anywhere in-between depending on your client’s monthly revenue, leverage you have, your negotiating skills, etc. This deal is a bit more challenging to get than retainers. You need to differentiate yourself because there are lots of agencies that do SMS marketing for cheap. DECREASING TIERED REVENUE SHARE As your client makes more money, you make a lower percentage of revenue. For example, you make your client $100K/month, you make 10% rev share. If you hit $200K/month, everything from $100K-200K, you get 5%. INCREASING TIERED REVENUE SHARE As your client makes more money, you make a higher percentage of revenue. For example, you make your client $100K/month, you make 10% rev share. If you hit $200K/month, everything from $100K-200K, you get 15%. EQUITY Get in with a brand early, run their SMS marketing. Every time you hit a specific KPI (X total revenue or Y average monthly revenue), you get a piece of equity. Highly recommend doing this if you can, and combining it with rev share. 76 >> SMS MARKETING www.getwsodo.com www.getwsodo.com 10 SKILLS GUIDEBOOK 14 NICHES YOU CAN SELL SMS MARKETING SERVICES TO 1.

THE FUTURE OF SMS MARKETING Currently going through exponential growth as more & more brands discover the power of SMS marketing. Brands are figuring out new ways to grow their SMS lists, which leads to more revenue. SMS marketing has the potential to be bigger than email. People are always on their phones. Huge open rates, more money per customer. It’ll get more regulated by the government. Bit of concern Apple/ Android might have a “promotions” tab for text messages in the future. Social selling is a powerful way to sell, and you can’t really do it via email. With SMS, it’s incredibly easy.
