10 time-tested ideas for your first productized agency

New to Indie Entrepreneurship?

Open a productized agency — trade your time for money.

Here are 10 time-tested ideas for your first startup.

1) Write guest posts

Founders know backlinks are good for SEO.

But they don't have time to write guest posts.

Do it for them.

2) Facilitate masterminds

A 5000-member Slack group is not a community.

A 5-people mastermind is.

Gather people and facilitate their engagement.

3) Roast landing pages

Makers build incredible products and ugly landing pages.

Help them by giving on-demand feedback.

(We are launching this product on 29 August 😎)

3) Ghostwrite for social media

Same as guest posts.

Makers are busy building a product. They don't have time to write killing Twitter threads.

A perfect match for you.

4) Design Webflow sites

Everyone is obsessed with Webflow.

But it's too complicated for 80% of Startup Founders.

Design converting landing pages for them.

5) Build MVP with code

Founders with business backgrounds still don't know how to code.

Mind helping them?

6) Run 1:1 consulting calls

Do you know something others don't?

Help other people with a 40-minute Zoom call.

7) Find leads

B2B Founders need leads.

Find them and charge money for each email.

9) Interview users

Introvert Founders don't want to talk with users.

Save them with your outstanding social skills.

10) Do market research

Analyzing competitors and trends is boring.

Boring business can make you a fortune.

Conclusion

The productized agency is a great first step.

You get both money and knowledge about the niche.

Try it before building some fancy SaaS.

    Your idea of offering landing page roast/feedback as a service sounds great! Good luck with your launch!
    I launched Creatickz a few weeks ago, which provides graphic design as a service, but I'm still in the early stages of getting everything up and running.

      Great suggestion, I think no-code MVPs are a great way to test hypotheses quickly and efficiently.
