How to let your clients pay for Elementor Pro, Crocoblock and Security - Maintenance packages

In this video I'm showing you how I let my clients pay for my subscriptions by selling them a cheap monthly maintenance package. In this way I don't have to pay for Elementor Pro, Crocoblock and iThemes Pro.

I would absolutely love a crash course on getting a client, going over contract with em, whatever goes into making site for them and how to configure everything, delivering the project to them, how payment is made. :'(

[@briantdaniel9280]

I love that your videos have a business person first, developer second motto. Not many developers understand this. All businesses extend the cost to the customer/client.

[@lech.dutkiewicz]

I really love and appreciate you talking not just about building and designing a website, but about building a business. Thanks man.

[@nicochiari]

This video is pure gold. I love how you are designing your business with a plan in mind. Smart work, not just plain hard work 💪🏻

[@caroltheman98]

Hi Rino, I don't often comment on videos on KZbin, but I felt like I had to let you know how much this content is appreciated. I am thinking about going into webdesign and starting my own business, and your content is boosting my confidence to make such a decision. I cannot thank you enough for the effort you put into these videos as well as the value they hold. Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing more of your content in the future!

[@jasmeetsingh88]

I just love your work and the knowledge that you're sharing with the community, thank you so much! Keep up the good work. I wouldn't mind paying for your advanced-level stuff. Looking forward to getting an update from you on your paid Elementor Pro and Croco Blocks course.

[@KengD]

In Thailand, very few customers understand and swipe their cards for these services. The solution was that I invested in an agency service in multiple tools and kept them. And make sure that each website needs different sales packages. And I sell my support annually to customers. If the customer is not happy with the supply I was able to control disabling the tool with all websites that were out of support.

[@Octanen_]

As a independent developer, luckily i was aware of these things thanks to my mentor (so to speak) but its nice to hear it "more" from other developers. The best way to run a business is like that, and to be honest with your clients. 100% transparency and honesty gets you waaaay further than you think.

[@jigsawkloud]

This is such a great video. A conversation needs to happen with the client at the start of every new project regarding maintenance fees, and the way you break this down and explain it so clearly has given me the confidence to review my own processes and, also, some of the plugins I may replace (I'm looking at you, Wordfence!). Thank you.

Hi Rino, It was a great watch! I have been learning a lot from your videos, and it was one of your best videos so far. I have several clients, and if they pay for these tools, it will be a great help. Thanks a lot for sharing this idea with me. I will definitely be applying it to my business, and hopefully, I can save some more money on my projects. I really appreciate this video, and your sharing it. Looking forward to using this method very soon.

@@rootfrommars7778 old school you have to knock at the door it works!

[@authentickenyan6284]

Great idea 💡!

[@authentickenyan6284]

@Boosted Up 1. Build 5 to 10 sites from different industries to showcase your skills. 2. Use Instagram and Pinterest to showcase your design process and step by step build/workflow. Try to post twice per day, per website. 3. After, join a couple of Facebook groups like Elementor and other Wordpress plugin groups to start engaging your community 4. Get on Twitter and post twice a day using relevant hashtags. Make sure your Twitter feed has your example sites every few days apart. Also make sure that you retweet and share relevant content from accounts in your web dev field. 5. Invest in Facebook ads for about 10$ per week for a month. The call to action should be your own website landing page where you have links to your portfolio websites and social media. Target your market carefully and you will start with 10 to 20 hits per day and grow as you add your budget. 6. Rinse, read reports and repeat. 7. Pay it Forward and help someone else with advice on what works for you. 💯

[@Epicedits2555]

You do know your clients are watching this right?😂😂..... great video bro, just watched about 10 of your videos tday and they are all helpful thanks a bunch🔥🔥❤️

[@rinodeboer]

I really don’t care if they watch it. I’m running a business, if they don’t accept my offer than that’s fine. Totally up to them. Most of them don’t even want to deal with all of these things so they pay it anyways.

[@rinodeboer]

Oh and thank you 🙏🏻

[@Epicedits2555]

Just got my first client and I wanted to know how everything works before we start making the site coz I though I had to pay for everything, but after watching your videos I understand how it's done and I'll make sure I go with number 4 of your other video about domains and host (No.4 let your client pay for their domain and host, then they can give you access to word press) I'll do that. .....I wanna know do I tell them all the things they will need to pay for before I even start with the project? Like the Domain n Host, Elemento and so on?.....And once I have all these then I can make the site?....I'm currently a Digital Marketing student and been learning a lot about the online world n websites so since this is my first client I wanna do a great job.

[@rinodeboer]

Nice that you have your first client! It’s super important to manage expectations in the beginning of a project. Never wait with that. But for some plugins I prefer to pay myself for multiple licenses and then charge my clients monthly. But if you don’t do that then tell them all the costs upfront. Very important!

[@abdulwahab2179]

This is an amazing saving tip. can you please make a video on how can we find development clients?

[@alexanderbjerkvik]

Never underestimate how alien plugins/hosting are to non-technical clients. Website "maintenance packages" can quickly be misinterpreted as you offering additional pages/design for only $10 per month. I found yearly (all-inclusive) "website housing & janitor" fee works best.

[@bourgeoisweb]

How thank you so much for your vidéo 🙌

[@tribowp]

[@evanhodson5533]

[@nicochiari]

Rino, I would like to know how to start in the web design business by your own. I mean, for people who has the experience in designing and WordPress, how do you recommend to start searching for clients, how much to charge them and how, what are the steps to develop a website from scratch, etc. I know it's a lot of info but maybe you can make a series for the people who wants to start, not with a freelancer mindset, but for people who want to make a business out of it

What tool do you use to send out your invoices? Is it automated?

[@mahonimakkaroni2187]

Great content! How do you do that with premium plugins that you only need once or for a very few projects. For example, a special extension for WooCommerce. Are they also included in your 10€ maintenance program? And secondly, how do you charge clients if something went wrong with updates you have started from the manageWP dashboard? For example, if the site is broken afterwards. I guess it's not included in the +10€/m right?

[@projectDominic]

Hi Rino, excellent content thank you! All these issues are relevant for me. One thing is missing - SEO. Do you say you provide basic SEO built in or do you have a package addon?
