Thinking of adding a new business.

    I'm thinking of opening a new business here in DP in the services area.

    Since the labor is cheap in my country, I'm thinking of adding some more employees.. and starting a submission business.


    1500 directories for 20 dollars Pr2-Pr4?

    Or maybe 2000 directories for 20 dollars.

    Probably make the delivery in 7 days.

    What do you think? Would you pay for that kind of a service.

    Regards,

    King

    I'm not sure about the employee aspect. You'll have to do more than just submissions to make a steady profit with employees. Branch out into data entry, article submission, and maybe some basic writing (really basic). Work through freelance sites and really undercut the competition in order to secure steady work.

    King - I would expand your SEO services. Directory submission services are already offered by alot of people here. What is really missing is somebody that can do quality link building and cheap SEO.

    You current offer a guaranteed SEO service for small keywords. Why not expand on that so you can go after bigger keywords or multiple keywords per project?

    I personally know alot of people that could send you business if you expand your SEO service.

    Let me build up my reputation with the small keywords first. Then will talk about the heavy ones. :D


    Someone asked me how cheap the labor was... I pay 5 dollars for 8 hours of work. So that's about 60 cents a hour. :cool:

    Go for it KingofKings, If you have cheap labor available, why not charge it out at a competative rate.

    $20 for 1500 directories sounds like a scam to me, and I would not even bother for the fact that I would expect nothing but unconfirmed links from dead directories.

    It's too cheap.

    You could probably charge $200-$300 if they're quality submissions, and especially if you can provide a list or URLs to all the directories where I could go and see my site listed.

    well its more important to deliver results then just data entry
    like if u submit in 1500 directories the probablity of being listed in how many directories is more imortant to the customer. :)
    hope it helps

    Your right 20 dollars is really low.

    Also I like the idea where I supply the list fo 1500 directories to the customer.
    Then when i'm finished submmiting his site. He will look at the directories to verfiy that I did submit his site.

    This is getting better and better.

    I think I should raise the price 30-40 dollars. :D

    King - when you give somebody the list, give them a list of URL's that show where exactly their links appear. Most of us won't have time to look over a list of 1500 websites and search for our site on them.

    Yes I know that's really a big number 1500, but you will get 1500 emails from these directories that say you submited your site. :)
