Start your own service business. Skip building the software. What's your play?
Free open-source tools (software anyone can use and build on), each turned into a service you can sell. Every play shows who buys, what to charge, how to make your first offer and the math, with every figure labeled as an estimate.
Free Repos In. Paid Services Out.
Free GitHub repos (the public pages where open-source projects live), each turned into a service someone could pay you to run for them.
Know Who Pays
The kind of business that buys, roughly how big they are and who to talk to there.
Know What to Charge
A setup fee and a monthly price, next to what it costs you to run, so you can see what you keep (estimates).
Open With Something Useful
A free sample to send first, so your first email gives before it asks.
See If the Numbers Work
What a few clients could add up to after costs, as a labeled estimate.
What Two Clients per Play Could Add Up To
Example math, not customer results.
Say you run eight plays and land two clients on each, charging each play's own setup fee and monthly price. What you actually earn depends on your market and your work.
- Setup fees (estimate)
- about $9,700
- Monthly (estimate)
- about $3,100
- Margin before your time (estimate)
- about 88%
Illustrative only: 2 clients on each of 8 example plays. Doesn't count your time or what you spend finding clients.
