Pearl - They Don’t Want Websites… They Want CUSTOMERS! w⧸ @ShivAiyar

00:00:00.000 people say they want a website but they really don't okay they really wanted more customers

00:00:05.200 so i found that out the hard way like that because i would go like someone would pay me 500

00:00:10.080 like a party bus uh company in santa ana california would pay me 500 bucks one time to build

00:00:14.780 them a site and they'd be like well the color of the site's off the font's off but this is off

00:00:19.180 and i'd be working over months getting the site how they want it must have been the copyright or

00:00:24.600 something i'm guessing yeah right yeah everything was just like no matter what i did they were never

00:00:29.100 happy um and then i finally figured out that what happened was my site just accidentally ranked on

00:00:34.760 google and ended up being like the first search term and then they were really thrilled and they

00:00:39.180 were like oh my god we're getting so many calls this is awesome and i went crap i got five hundred

00:00:43.220 dollars once yeah and this person's now making like 10 grand a month extra in business so that's

00:00:49.220 when i realized oh what does facebook do what does instagram do like they sell your data the money's

00:00:53.660 all on the data so that's what so what i would do is i'd offer businesses um to build their websites

00:00:57.900 for free but then i would say you pay me for every phone call i get you and i'd use like a google

00:01:02.380 voice number like a voice over ip number to track it um and that kind of started um my like career

00:01:08.380 in this where i was i got to a point where i was making 6 500 a month in community college

00:01:13.020 which i thought was a trillion dollars when you're
