Imagine that in a digital age.<\/p>\n<p>Drop-servicing is finding a job online, hiring a freelancer to complete it, and delivering the freelancer\u2019s work to the paying customer. Basically, you get digital jobs and outsource the work.<\/p>\n<p>The beauty of drop servicing is that you pocket the difference between what the client paid you and what you paid the freelancer.<\/p>\n<p>Drop servicing is NOT drop-shipping. You\u2019re selling\u00a0<strong>services<\/strong>, not\u00a0<strong>products<\/strong>. Think website development, SEO optimization, writing \u2013things that you do, not physical things that you make.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we have an idea of what drop servicing is, let\u2019s look at why you should start a drop servicing business.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"three-reasons-to-start-a-drop-servicing-business\" id=\"three-reasons-to-start-a-drop\">Three Reasons to Start a Drop Servicing Business<\/h2>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"reason-1-low-costs\">Reason 1: Low costs<\/h3>\n<p>The lack of up-front expenses is an entrepreneur\u2019s dream. Because this is for services rendered, you have:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>NO inventory fees<\/li>\n<li>NO overhead fees (when you work remotely)<\/li>\n<li>NO shipping fees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In fact, you only have to pay fees once you have a paying job lined up.<\/p>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"reason-2-excellent-income-potential\">Reason 2: Excellent income potential<\/h3>\n<p>Once that paying job is lined up, drop-servicing has the potential for superb income. It offers:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Potentially high profit margins.<\/strong>\u00a0Depending on how much the customer pays you and how much you have to pay the freelancer, there is a great possibility for profit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multiple revenue streams.<\/strong>\u00a0Because you are outsourcing the jobs, you could easily work on multiple projects at a time. A collection of tiny gigs can add up to a big income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>##<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"reason-3-no-expertise-needed\">Reason 3: No expertise needed<\/h3>\n<p>Since you\u2019re outsourcing the services, you only need to\u00a0<strong>FIND<\/strong>\u00a0the talent,\u00a0<strong>not be<\/strong>\u00a0the talent. Having a general knowledge of the service is helpful, but not essential.<\/p>\n<p>You also don\u2019t need to be an expert on all the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wintersandyonker.com\/blog\/mirror-laws-in-florida\/\">local laws<\/a>; you just need to find a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dlgteam.com\/\">good lawyer.<\/a>\u00a0They will help you determine if you\u2019re following local, state, or federal laws. (It\u2019s a little hassle upfront, for a lot of peace of mind later on.)<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"pros-and-cons-of-drop-servicing\" id=\"pros-and-cons-of-drop-servicing\">Pros and cons of drop-servicing<\/h2>\n<p>Drop servicing means you are your own boss. As with anything in life, that comes with a few pros and cons.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"drop-servicing-pros\">Drop Servicing Pros<\/h3>\n<p>Let\u2019s look at the drop servicing benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-determine-your-hours-\"><strong>Determine your hours.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Come on, who doesn\u2019t like the OPTION of sleeping in from time to time?<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-determine-your-work-\"><strong>Determine your work.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Yup, you get to decide what jobs you accept (or don\u2019t). But, you do need to FIND customers and offer services that customers want. So, if your dream is to sell freezers in Antarctica, you probably won\u2019t make enough to pay rent.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-determine-your-pay-\"><strong>Determine your pay.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>The ball is entirely in your court on this one. BUT, it is a two-edged sword. If you ask for too much, you may not get any customers. Too little, and you might not make ends meet. Having competitive rates is a good business practice.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-determine-your-location-\"><strong>Determine your location.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Work is where the wifi is. As long as you have a stable, reliable internet connection, you can run your drop-servicing business. Although if you\u2019re going to be stationed somewhere long-term, it\u2019s best to check with a local\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rosenbaumnylaw.com\/\">lawyer<\/a>\u00a0and make sure you\u2019re following local laws.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"drop-servicing-cons\">Drop Servicing Cons<\/h3>\n<p>Just like cupcakes come with calories, anything good also has some bad. These are some of the drop servicing cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-requires-self-motivation-and-self-discipline-\"><strong>Requires self-motivation and self-discipline<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>There is no reprimand after three tardies or no-shows. There are no company performance reviews. And there is no boss looking over your shoulder, making sure you get work done. If you need those things or encouragement to stay motivated, this probably is not a good fit for you.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-no-paid-benefits-\"><strong>No paid benefits<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>Because you\u2019re self-employed, you need to:<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Find your own health insurance<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Pay self-employment taxes<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Save money for retirement<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Set aside money for when the job market is slow<\/em><br \/>\n<em>You will also most likely be ineligible for unemployment if you are without work. If you have a serious health condition, you may want to consider a job that offers good health insurance instead of pursuing an entrepreneurial route.<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"-reliance-on-freelancers-\"><strong>Reliance on freelancers<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><em>The quality of the product is completely dependent on the freelancer you hire. You may receive subpar work, which would reflect poorly on your company. Or worse, you may have a freelancer abandon your project to pursue a higher-paying gig.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that we\u2019ve looked at the pros and cons of starting a drop-servicing business, let\u2019s peek at some drop-servicing businesses you could start.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"drop-servicing-business-ideas\">Drop Servicing Business Ideas<\/h3>\n<p>This list is not all-inclusive, but it does include potential drop-servicing business ideas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"seo-optimization\">SEO Optimization<\/h4>\n<p><em>Help companies rank higher in their search engine results<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"animation\">Animation<\/h4>\n<p><em>Create animated visuals<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"content-creation\">Content Creation<\/h4>\n<p><em>Make creative content for multiple platforms<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"data-analysis\">Data Analysis<\/h4>\n<p><em>Analyze data to help companies make informed decisions<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"digital-advertising\">Digital Advertising<\/h4>\n<p><em>Create advertisements to promote other companies or small businesses<\/em><\/li>\n<li>\n<h4 id=\"digital-content-creator\">Digital Content Creator<\/h4>\n<p><em>Create and publish content to grow a business\u2019s audience.
