Selling someones SEO services and profiting

When it comes to selling SEO services there are so many people doing it that it could be frustrating. If you're just starting off I would suggest that you don't go it alone and partner up with someone or a company in order to lessen the burden on yourself so that you're not overwhelmed.

If you already sell SEO services to the masses you know that it can be busy at times, but what if I told you that it didn't have to be? What if I told you that you could make thousands a month selling someone elses SEO services and only be a middle man?

Well that's what I did the last couple months to see how much I could make, and I was pleasantly surprised lol.

What I did for this to work:

Sourced services from level 3+ users with a good rating
Only picked services that were well rounded. A typical "all in one" service.
Set up a new SEO service website with custom pages for each service and added detailed descriptions for each.
Made sure that nothing broke Googles/Adwords TOS so I could push the services through their PPC platform

It sounds pretty simple, but it took me a couple weeks to set up because I was doing it in my spare time. I had a theme already so I didn't have to spend $75 on that, but if you want to get a theme you now know how much it could cost you. I set up a hosting account for $15 a month and that included my own IP for SEO reasons and so that I extremely reduced the chances of getting on the same IP as someone who had a banned adwords account. Basically I was reducing the chances of being with bad neighbors lol.

After everything was set up, I was ready to get this bad boy on adwords

Selling someones SEO services and profiting

I didn't do anything fancy, I just set up a basic text ad campaign and bid low to see where I would be at when starting out. I was only bidding on around 20 specific keywords that were related specifically to what I was selling so that I would increase the chances of making a sale from my services.

So some of you are asking "Well, how much did you make!" and I'm getting to that

When I was paying for my PPC campaign I think I invested around $300 total for the month and I made around $3,000 in sales which turned into around $1,800 in profit but it was closer to $1,500 because of the PPC investment.

The downside about this is that it would likely cost you around $500 to set all of this up and that's if you pay someone to do it for you plus the PPC investment. But even then if I paid someone to set everything up I still would have profited around $1,200 to $1,300

Another downside of this is that it was really hit or miss because the first month I made $1,500 and the next month I broke even while running the same optimized campaign

The upside to this is that I didn't have to actually do any of the SEO myself since I was outsourcing all of that work to people that were already credible here on SEOclerks

They did an amazing job and got me my orders in time for me to send it to my buyers. It's a lot of organization, but it's definitely worth it if you do it right

You could do this for much less if you wanted to, but I decided to throw $300 per month into my campaigns to see how much I could make. I do want to mention that my campaigns weren't even maxed out because I was bidding for page 2 results and I wasn't even running the campaign to it's fullest potential lol

In Conclusion:
It's not too difficult to make money online, you just need to think outside of the box. Selling someone esles services is easy to do as long as you can get your website on adwords and not get banned. be sure to follow all the guidelines set forth by Google so that you can get your ads live and not rejected. It's pretty simple, but one little thing can get your ad banned pretty quick

Wow you're an innovative bugger you are Razzy boy! lol

No fair play, and this was just you throwing something together that you knew you could do and would work. And just from using some popular services on SEOClerks too! And it just goes to show that this is all that it really takes to make money online today (thanks to SEOClerks as well). And this is just basically affiliate / reseller marketing 101 to me and you isn't it but this is basically what you do and how it works and why!

Of course yeah, when doing something like this, you are playing middleman. So you'll need to try and provide a truly seamless experience for the buyers that your site gets. You don't have to do the actual work yourself, but you'll have to place that order, give them the details, wait for it to be completed and delivered and then deliver it to the buyer. And as long as they are happy, you are happy, everyone's happy!

But if your site got really popular and you was hammering home the orders, well that would be good! Lucrative and profiterole!

But it could be quite a bit of admin management though handling all those orders. But you could always just get someone else to do that part for you as well lol. That's the beauty of affiliate marketing, you can outsource EVERYTHING!

The only thing about reselling services on here is that sometimes they are quite highly priced for what they get lol. And for you to make a profit, you'll have to add more on to it. Of course, there's nothing wrong with that. Provided you don't take the piff and mark it up for like 5x what you're buying it for but even if you do and you sell it then fair play to you lol

I think this process is known as the subcontracting. You can find such people on fiverr and other places. You may be able to do a lot of profiting in that case. You just have to find one at reasonable price. And avoid quoting too low. As that can be the only way you can get ahead with that service. You just have to consider profit and also the other party which is ready to deliver at that price.

I have been doing SEO on my websites for a long time, however, I never considered selling seo services until recently. Sometime back, one of my regular clients asked if I do SEO on websites. I said I do SEO on my websites. When I delivered the service, he was really happy. Though I did not earn must from my first SEO service, I gained confidence. When I am commissioned for the seo service second time, I will have more confidence. If I get too many job requests I may outsource.

It is like brokering or being an agent. We have a term for that in our language which means you have the ability to earn money in many ways. Some people know opportunities when they see one and I admire their propensity to take advantage of the opportunity. It is one good way of earning to get connections to suppliers of service and to those who need the services.
