Hi,
Looking for a little advice/feedback if possible.
I'm working on a passive/leveraged-income project currently, but I see this taking some time to generate revenue.
In the meantime, I'm looking to develop a service/consulting business. I've been doing different bits of work (mostly related to careers) but through this I've realized the best way to really generate a reasonable revenue from a service business is to target higher end clients/command greater fees per job.
So, rather than having to attract ten or twenty jobs a week, better to work with one or two higher-end clients/projects. This isn't really viable related to the kind of work I've been doing, so I'm looking into other options.
I've started making a list of services/industries where I know you can potentially command high fees per job (obviously all dependent on the quality of work you deliver). Things like high-end dating/introduction services, concierge services, certain kinds of recruiters (but all very people focused, and so taking up more time and resources).
My knowledge is a bit limited so I'm trying to broaden this to help me explore options. Does anyone know of any resources related to service businesses (I read entrepreneur.com and inc, currently)? Or have any experience with bigger ticket services?
I know someone who works in windows who makes around 5k per job, but that's as far as my own network/knowledge extends.
Thank you.
