Website Help for My Fellow Agents

Hey all. I posted a thread similar to this here, but I figured this sister post was more appropriate for this forum.

When I launched The Online Insurance Broker - Selling Insurance Online a couple of days ago, I didn't expect that the response would be so quick and that so many people would be interested in having a website made for them - to be honest, I thought people would be much more interested in the free services.

However, I was wrong, and I was almost instantly flooded with requests for me to build a website. Because of the very encouraging response, I thought I'd go ahead and post a pricing sheet here. Please forgive the formatting:

Save a few bucks!
•Get your logo professionally designed at
A Brand Identity: The Stamp of Creativity and subtract $75 from the
cost of any service package
•Get your Twitter background professionally designed
at A Brand Identity: The Stamp of Creativity and subtract $25 from the
cost of any service package
•IHIAA members get 20% off of any service package
•Insurance-Forums.net posters get 20% off of any
service package (these 20% discounts don't stack, sorry!)

Please note: If you have ever posted to insurance-forums.net under any username including the word "CHUMPS," prices are doubled. Sorry buddy.






The prices are based on how long each package would take me to complete, and how much money I would expect to make selling insurance in that time.


Again, I really really want to emphasize that anything I'd do as far as building your website is stuff you can do yourself. Everything from the Platinum package on down will have free tutorials posted - at some point - on The Online Insurance Broker - Selling Insurance Online. This is only a viable option if you don't want to wait, or if you'd rather spend your time focusing entirely on your sales career.

Best of luck, and happy hunting!


Edited to add: There's an error in the sheet, sorry. Directory submission to Yahoo isn't free - stupid mistake on my part. You can submit URL's to Yahoo's search engine for quicker consideration, but the directory submission is vastly different.

And, since Dave Miller is currently screaming at me via PM's over this post, please go over to The Online Insurance Broker - Selling Insurance Online and read both the About and Contact pages. You can do all of this for free, minus the costs of hosting and domain registration. I'll tell you how to do it. And, since I'm an insurance salesman and not a web designer, you'll likely do just as good a job as I could do. I'm not a web designer or SEO expert by trade; this pricing guide only exists because a couple of people asked for it. I'd do it for free if not for the time it takes away from selling insurance.

Sorry to ruffle any feathers.

Sounds great, but your own site is not even optimized. :SLEEP:
 
Nick, I checked out your sites and you do a great job with them. I can personally tell everyone out there that if you let Nick perform these services for you, you will be satisfied. I'm pretty saavy when it comes to marketing online and by what he posted, he knows what he's doing. I have never met Nick nor spoken to him in my life. I just have to give him props for what he's doing online.
 
Great offer! Clearly a servant's attitude; which is sorely missed in today's business environment. I wish you the best of luck, and will be sending people that ask me your way.
 
Great Offer Nick!!

Nick is offering to show anyone how to do these things for free. But if you are too lazy or busy and want to pay him to do it, he will do the work for you.

I've personally called Nick and picked his brain and he was very helpful.

I don't know much about wordpress and Nick took the time to tell me all about it. I also like his own personal wordpress website for clients.
 
Dave just landed a national contract. I doubt he has time to scream at you.

Dave's awesome - I don't come anywhere close to doubting his skills, and I can't offer anything close to what he does. He's in another league.

Frankly, I'm a pushover. I like setting up websites and tinkering with them because I don't have a wood shop or a glass blowing bench or anything like that. It's a hobby, and one that has turned a profit for me in terms of leads generated. I am more than happy to help anyone else get to where I'm at currently, but Dave is much, much better at SEO than I am and could run circles around me. Like I've told everyone who's called and emailed so far, I'm not a web designer by trade - I'm an insurance salesman, and that's where I want to stay.

Merely an offer, since a couple of folks asked.
