NIGGAS BROKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so I'm currently trying to get into AM, but lack the capital. So I have an idea to make some money for a while until I make some progress in AM, and I need help perfecting my plan.
My Plan:
Basically I want to start cold calling businesses that are listed on yp.com, but only ones that don't already have a website. I figured this would be the best way to start; which businesses to target, I have yet to figure out. I'll offer them a custom professional business website that could only benefit them and explain to them that they're losing customers by not having one and blah blah blah...you get the point.
If anyone could share what they would do or wouldn't do, then please do! I appreciate any help.
Anyone else looking for gain some easy capital, feel free to use this method/idea!

- I don't want to design/code a new website for each customer (I could, but I would have to raise the price quite a bit), I want to make it quick and easy for me, yet affordable for them to convert rather easily.
So I thought I may go with WordPress, grab a couple templates, and just edit the layout (images/colors, maybe some styles). This way I can quickly and easily create their websites without many problems or issues. They'll be satisfied, because what the fuck do they know..It'll still look good of course!
My next idea if I weren't to use WordPress, would be to make a couple different design layouts coded by myself and then just change the important aspects to make it unique to their business.
If there's a better way of going about this, please share. Also, if you know of any good sites with templates that would be great for this, please let me know. - I plan on recommending them to a web hosting company (via affiliate link), or host it for them for $10/mo, $20/mo to manage/update their site for them.
Not sure what the best way to go about this would be, any insight/advice would be great. - I don't feel like doing any SEO for them, so I may or may not recommend a company for them, depending on if they ask about it or not.
- PRICES! This is where I need some help. I was thinking about doing what I mentioned above for about $155, which would get them their website, and then they preferably pay for the hosting which I'll make a little extra cash off of. But honestly, I'm not sure what to charge, I figured $155 would be cheap for them and enough for me to make a decent profit off of. What are you thoughts and what would you charge? I know a low price screams SCAM or NEWBIE, and too big of a price will probably scare them away, so I'm trying to come up with something that they'll go for and will still be decent enough for myself to make some cash.
