  •      Search engine optimization (SEO)
  •      Content marketing

Develop a Business Model

Do not forget for a second that the most important of all factors will be the revenue your agency creates. So you need to develop a clear and strong business model beforehand.

First of all, you will need to list down the resources you will need.

Do you need an office or working virtually will work for you? Will you hire full time-employees or part-time? When you have some idea about your spending then you can move forward to making a model.

How will you get the clients? From freelancing websites? Through Google Ads? Social Media advertisement? Or what?

Then you will outline your billing methods. Following are some of the most common ones:

  • Hourly: Pretty common among freelancers, this method is becoming increasingly popular with agencies as well. You provide the time required for the task and a fixed amount per hour.
  • Flat Retainer: To avoid multiple calculations, some agencies adopt the flat retainer method. Simply sit down with the client and decide upon a fixed amount to be paid every month.
  • Commission Based: This method is most popular among the companies just starting out. Simply, because this automatically gives you an edge over the competition. The client only pays when they get a sale. Isn’t that an offer you can’t refuse?
