How To Charge a Hosting Fee To Your 360 Virtual Tour Customer Every Single Month

[@jorgemonroy7886]

One month ago I just got the same idea you started almost one year ago and on my research I found your videos telling me to do exactly what I was thinking to do, the only thing is that I violated the first damn rule and got the gear first (Insta360 OneX, the stick and an iPad, the website and stuff). The business plan I developed is to charge the monthly fee since the begging so any client couldn’t say no and the fee it’s super cheap but my strategy it’s to have lot of volume. This video it’s telling me that I’m on the right way. Here where I live there’s just ONE company doing this in the whole STATE, imagine that. This weekend it’s my first virtual tour. I’m gonna update how this strategy goes.

Jorge Monroy dope. Let me know how it goes. Who is the niche?

[@BancoPopular]

Good luck bro' ! Keep us informed !

[@jorgemonroy7886]

Everything Zach Calhoon, hotels, apartments buildings, restaurants, commercial real state...

[@jorgemonroy7886]

Thanks champ Sticky Fingaz81, I will.

[@yellerpenguin]

How you doing so far?

[@mariuszb4919]

Hi I'm new with virtual tours. What exactly is hosting, how this works and how can I explain to my client?

[@michelleswogger6978]

I don’t understand, why are client not able to copy and paste the link on their own website? When you charge a hosting fee, what are you doing for them each month?

[@LockyLive]

I get what you're saying but I live in a smaller town with 50k pop. Most businesses here are small and when they look at saving money it'd the monthly bottom line stuff that they are looking for. I don't think many are gonna pay $40 a month. They'd be looking at 10 or less I think.

[@rexhoss]

I'm just getting started with Virtual tours. I'd love to see some sample contracts or agreements people use with clients.

[@SplitSniper7]

If you come across this can you pass the information along?

[@FelipeEspinoza]

SAME!

[@nh7788]

What about real estate? Will a company drop the hosting once the property has been sold?

[@klwj1981]

I think that you need to break down what hosting is

Super useful genius idea

[@nealcollins3395]

I am going to start buying some gear. I have been looking into this for a while would love some tips.

[@virtualtourprofit]

bro. Dont start buying gear until you get a paying customer! :) Just a thought. If you are going to buy gear you might as well get hosting too. Checkout Cloudpano.com/starter-kit

[@damedinero3210]

DONT BUY YOUR GEAR UNTIL YOU OBTAIN YOUR FIRST CUSTOMER! FOLLOW THE DAMN RULES!

[@capcap7456]

Damé Dinero That doesn’t really make sense

[@virtualtourprofit]

@@damedinero3210 LOL thank you for your passion.

[@virtualtourprofit]

@@capcap7456 you can do it either way. But its a good principal.

[@BusinessAsMinistry]

Does CloudPano also have the same capabilities for creating 3d floor plans and creating measurements?

[@thinkvideo5938]

You read my mind man 😃

[@virtualtourprofit]

yes!

[@virtualtourprofit]

yes!

[@sinistauno]

Do you have a prediction of longevity in providing this service? What's to stop someone or a company from renting or investing in their own equipment?

[@damedinero3210]

Joe Del Rosario IT DOESNT MATTER!!

[@sinistauno]

@@damedinero3210 Can you elaborate on that?

[@damedinero3210]

no. not really. the mind set that you currently demonstrate shows that you wont accomplish much in this industry. you need to stop thinking negativity. what if this what if that....so what? there are MILLIONS OF HOMES,HOTELS BUSINESSES, etc. if you lose one, find another. quit being a chicken and pull the fucking trigger.

[@sinistauno]

@@damedinero3210 What is wrong with you? I'm asking a reasonable question as an entrepreneur looking to grow my property management business. If you can't or are unwilling to answer a question, don't bother responding. Your hostile tone doesn't help anyone. Quite honestly, you sound very childish.

[@damedinero3210]

I'm 11 so stfu

[@zaneboehlke2474]

Which platforms have the lowest cost for hosting? Just getting started & I appreciate and love this business model

[@virtualtourprofit]

cloudpano.com

[@zaneboehlke2474]

[@CrazySlave12]

I’m confused about what you offer with the hosting fee? What exactly do the customers get by paying this monthly cost?

[@virtualtourprofit]

hey dude. They get to keep their tour hosted online. And you can edit it and update it as they need. Server hosting is not free. If you use a private platform like CloudPano.com you have control of the user experience. In this case, your client pays for the hosting cost.

[@CrazySlave12]

Thanks man. That clears things up

[@CrazySlave12]

Do you have an email?

[@bradgamson3635]

They would get the tour to be on the internet for as long as they pay the fee. But, study your competition too. Are they charging hosting fees? If so, you are good to go. If not, then be ready to explain why you are charging them to host. The way to find this out is to just ask your prospect.

[@SupaaManix]

Do you give your clients 2 options: #1 pay hosting fees #2 if they do not want, pay a delivery fee for the files? Because they already have/pay for a hosting service for their website. What do you think?

[@virtualtourprofit]

good ideas try it. all depends.

[@coolzets]

Hey Jack, it was a great video. Can I get to know more advantages of hosting VT in these websites instead of Google Street View? So, that I could push my clients to opt for the hosting thing rather than putting their business only on Google Street View. Thanks

[@virtualtourprofit]

There is a ton of advantages. The viewer experience is 10x better on CloudPano.com. You can capture leads. And customize the entire experience while you keep control. Also you can charge a separate fee for both!

[@virtualtourprofit]

Also its a great upsell as business owners promote their website.

[@kcif77]

Would you charge a lower hosting fee for residential real estate since most times it is not necessary after sale?

[@cloudpano]

kcif77 yes or no hosting at all for real estate customers.

[@kcif77]

@@cloudpano Wow. Thanks for responding so quickly!

[@jonathangoodnow7857]

A couple questions, if you’re hosting the tour what sort of link or code are you sharing with the client? Does it have your personal branding on it, the customers, or no branding at all?

[@virtualtourprofit]

Hey dude great questions. This is why you need to check out cloudpano.com - you can private label the software and customize every tour.

[@a3JsProduction]

Are hosting fees per property if one client has multiple properties?

[@virtualtourprofit]

Hey there. Its up to you. But if the property is commercial, you can get a 6 month deal pretty easy.

[@gbritto98]

Do you tell them up front about the hosting fee or first just tell them about the set up fee and show them the final project then say something like the first month is free than after that there is a hosting fee?

[@AlexFolacciRAPIDEfitness]

Great video Zach! Do you recommend using sendowl.com for recurring monthly fee? Is there any way you could share with us the legal contracts that you make customers sign? Thanks a lot, you inspired me to start this business! Alex Folacci

[@virtualtourprofit]

cool man! thanks for the comment. You can set up MRR contract with paypal or stripe. very easy to do. Use google. Also check out the webinar here: virtualtourprofit.com/index.html

[@RE-ty9lb]

Hey. Was wondering if the emergence of Google Business View and it's ability to embed has affected overall business for you in any way. Have you had to make any adjustments?

[@virtualtourprofit]

no. gmb is great for certain things but not everything. Check out the new webinar here: virtualtourprofit.com/index.html
