Overview

This video explains a strategy for web designers to offer free websites to local businesses while generating recurring monthly income. The presenter, Jasper Aiken, details how platforms like Squarespace and Wix operate on a subscription model and shows how to replicate this using the "GoHighLevel" software. He covers building websites with templates, reaching out to potential clients through various methods, and a closing framework to sell monthly subscription packages.

Key takeaways

• Subscription Model: Instead of charging upfront for websites, charge a monthly recurring fee for services like hosting, maintenance, and additional software features.
• GoHighLevel Software: This all-in-one platform allows for building websites, setting up automations (text, email), creating AI agents, managing SEO, and collecting payments, with the ability to white-label and resell it as your own.
• Free Website Offer: Leverage free website templates within GoHighLevel to create demo sites for prospects, removing the initial financial barrier for businesses.
• Client Outreach Strategies: Utilize methods like posting in local Facebook groups, cold calling businesses found on Google Maps, and sending direct messages on Instagram to find clients.
• Closing Framework: Employ a three-phase approach: discovery (asking questions), presentation (showcasing the free website and its features), and pricing (offering tiered monthly subscription plans).
• Recurring Revenue: The primary income comes from monthly subscriptions, with the website build itself being effectively free upfront. This model can lead to significant semi-passive income.
