How I Made $800 Online Using Google Maps – The Complete Guide
Two weeks ago my team challenged me to go and make $800 as fast as I could and I gave myself four hours. Little did I know that the sale was not going to be the hardest part. In this video today, I want to share with you everything I did and what I learned in the process of making money online using Google Maps. Let’s go!
Types of Services You Can Offer
Let’s start with one of the most frequently asked questions by you guys – what services did I actually offer? In my opinion, there are three types of services that you can offer:
- Free Assessment: Show small business owners the opportunities they are missing out on, giving them a free assessment of what they can improve in their Google business profile.
- Done With You Service: Write a full report for the business owner on what they can do on their own to improve their profile.
- Done For You Service: Agree with the business owner on a plan and do the work for them, charging more for this service.
Starting a Fiverr Account
Many people were confused about why I started a Fiverr account. I did it to get paid separately from my company bank account, not necessarily to get leads. Cold calling and Fiverr leads are two different streams of demand that you can have.
Delivery Time and Effort
Delivery time took longer than expected, especially with the first client. It took more hours than anticipated, but as I got more experienced, it became more efficient. Remember that getting the sale is not the only time you need to dedicate.
Claiming the Business and Optimization
To claim the business for the owner, you can use your own Gmail account and transfer it later or guide them through the process on a call. For optimization, focus on factors like category, keywords, ratings, and more. Use tools like GMB Everywhere to get insights from competitors.
Cold Calling Tips
Cold calling is a skill that takes practice. Use a good hook, establish your authority, and focus on getting them to the next step rather than selling immediately. Remember, it’s a numbers game, and persistence is key.
