HOW TO MAKE SOME SIDE INCOME AS A CONSULTANT/CONTRACTOR NO MATTER YOUR INDUSTRY

Everyone needs to be able to generate some side cash

I don't care what industry you're in, you can pick up some contracts on the side. (I've made $100k+ in a yr doing this)

🧵

2/

#1. Figure out what niche service you can provide other businesses need

RE agent - you know 5 zip codes well
Marketer - you can write emails well
HVAC tech - you can do work in half the time
CPA - you can cut 20% of expenses from a DR. office
Dentist - You grew your practice

3/

Point is --> what are you good at? And what do businesses need help with all the time.

All HVAC owners wish their techs worked faster... National PE firm wish they knew every zip code in America well, but don't
Every doctor sucks at finances (hence a CPA)

4/

Pinpoint something you do GREAT, and love doing already.

What is a part of your job you're better than others at?

Others WILL pay you for that help.

Ok, you have the niche

5/

#2. Locate businesses (NOT CONSUMERS) that could use your help.

Businesses are willing to pay more and have the budget. Plus, easier to reach the guy with the gold coins rather than picking through millions of consumers

6/

#3. Find their phone number or email. I like email for more white collar jobs (aka you're reaching out to doctors, execs etc.)

For HVAC owners, you'll probably need to call them.

7/

#4. To find an email... locate the company website, google "@companyname.com" email. See what format they use.

To find a phone number, find the owner's name, put it into Truepeoplesearch.com and try it.

Else, can go to Skipgenie.com and pay some pennies

What do I say???

#5. Email:
Hey Jack,

Is there someone in your office I should chat with about some supplies and taxes you may be paying too much on?

I'm helping out some doctors in my neighborhood cut 20% in expenses.

9/

Key sentence...

"I'm also in talks with COMPETITOR 1, 2, 3" (competitors the doctor would know).

"Anyone you recommend I chat with?"

On phone... use the same script :).

I bet you'll have a conversation going in 5 seconds.

#6. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN OFFER READY TO GO

Never ho-hum over anything

"I can get you a list of the top 5 commerial prop on market in these 5 zip codes, including write-ups, pro-formas. You don't need me to help buy them, you're a big boy. But I charge $5k to do this."

12/

If you're a marketer ---> "I can write you 5 emails for cold traffic, 5 for warm traffic, $1,000 delivered in 7 days. If none are good, I'll write you 10 more for free."

HVAC ---> I'll work with one of your guys 1x per week and he'll be done 3 hrs faster. $3k to do it."

13/

Everyone won't take you up on it...

But I like email because you can have a VA find the emails and send them, then you simply respond and get on the phone with people interested.

14/

The world is changing...

You need to make more income besides whatever your career is

And I'm not talking an extra $500 in rents or dividends...I mean $5,000 chunks at a time.

(I just landed a 5k contract that'll take me 3 hours to complete) - will buy my wife that sofa

15/

You aren't trying to change your main job or spend less time with your family

You're simply having an offer you can turn on and off whenever you like

Sure, it's not "passive." But most things aren't

First, find your specialty
