I make around $2k–$4k/month building websites for local businesses, but the main reason it works is because I stopped selling a promise.

Most people try to sell websites by cold messaging businesses, explaining why their current site is bad, sending a portfolio, trying to book calls, all that stuff.

I used to do the same thing and honestly it barely worked.

What changed everything for me was making the process stupid simple for the business owner.

Now instead of trying to “pitch” them, I show them something real first.

I usually find a local business with an outdated or no website, then I quickly rebuild a cleaner version of their homepage. Better design, mobile friendly, faster loading, clearer CTA, modern look, etc.

Then I send it to them or hop on a quick call (if they want to) and show them side by side.

The difference is immediate because now they are not imagining anything anymore. They can literally see what their business could look like.

That alone gets way more responses than long sales messages.

The second thing that helped was changing pricing.

Most small businesses do not want to hear “this will cost $3,000 upfront”.

Monthly pricing works but also lower Prices..500$ for something thats already build for them seems resonable.

I sometimes charge monthly because it feels easier for them to say yes to. Hosting, updates, edits, support, SEO basics, everything included.

Once the site is live they usually stay because now their leads, bookings, and online presence depend on it.

The problem was speed.

Building demos manually for every business started taking too much time, so I ended up building my own platform called Thyonix to make the whole process faster.  Made it so it also generates Personalized website with real reviews and photos of the business.

Now I can generate and customize websites way quicker, which lets me contact more businesses without spending days designing everything from scratch.

That is honestly the whole model.

The demo gets attention.
The simplicity gets the sale.
The monthly model keeps the client.

Not saying this is some magical business model, but it has been consistently making me around $2k–$4k/month on the side and it scales way better than I expected.

Happy to answer questions if anyone wants to know how I approach it.

Ce pot sa fac in cazul în care aud vecinii ca se bat (el pe ea)

Salut, Reddit!

​Nu știu dacă acesta este subredditul potrivit, dar, în caz că nu este, sper să mă redirecționeze cineva.

​Situația stă în felul următor: de ceva timp, cel puțin o dată pe săptămână, îmi aud vecinii bătându-se. El pare să dea în ea destul de violent și zbiară unul la altul; de multe ori, episoadele durează și câte 2-3 ore. Mă trezesc din somn din cauza țipetelor lor.

​Mă simt oarecum responsabil, ca vecin, dar nu știu ce să fac în situația asta. Să sun la 112? Mi-e frică să nu devină violenți cu mine. Stăm la duplex, deci vor ști instant cine a sunat. Nu mă cunosc foarte bine cu ei; doar ne salutăm și ne întrebăm, superficial, ce mai facem. Din exterior, par de treabă.

​Oricum, întrebarea rămâne: ce este de făcut în acest caz?
