Caleb Chapman

I pretty much never tweet (post?) but I’m going to start posting occasionally about my business. I’ve started following a lot more small business related accounts recently and have enjoyed reading what people are doing. I quit my W2 job in Sept 2021. I had gotten fed up

@mhp_guy Thanks for the reply. I know just enough GMB/SEO to know I know nothing 😂 but I guess I’m surprised that he’s able to generate that many leads for service type businesses without being on the map pack at all.

@Caleb_Chapman Reviews come months later once he has a good partner for that biz. But yes he picks areas and niches with very little competition and decent search traffic so they rank regardless.

I just interviewed a guy who did $192,500 in one month working 2 to 3 hours a week. 90% net profit margins. This one is getting me all fired up just writing about it! This guy had an HR job he hated. Tried every side hustle in the book. (sound familiar?) eBay Dropshipping Affiliate marketing Facebook ads all of them He finally landed on running an SEO agency for local businesses and started actually making real money. Then a client called him in the middle of the night to complain about his results. The results were stellar by the way... Luke woke up the next morning, fired every single client he had, and walked away from $108,000 in revenue. Then he flipped the whole business inside out. Instead of doing SEO for other people, he built the websites for himself. Ranked them. Owned them. And rented the leads back out to local businesses for a flat monthly fee. His first 6 sites got him right back to $108K a year. Small niches, small cities. Towing in Woodside, Queens. Carpet cleaning in Irving, Texas. Tree service HVAC Pest control Limo He now owns 132 of these sites. I'm so pumped up after this one. In this episode Luke: - Walks through his live playbook for finding a winning niche - Shows the Irving, Texas carpet cleaning site that has paid him $500 a month for basically 7 years straight - Breaks down exactly why he only targets cities of a specific population size - Explains the rev share pitch he gave his biggest clients This one was so good!

@JordanJCaron @mhp_guy Hmm so you don’t show up in map pack but you’re appearing just below?

@Caleb_Chapman @mhp_guy Yes but it has to be in smaller towns where there isn't a lot of competition. I have a site with a similar model. I don't have Google Profiles, so no reviews, but I get plenty of traffic and leads.

@dav1nc1___ @mhp_guy Nah, Chris is legit. Don’t think he’d have the guy without any vetting.

@Caleb_Chapman @mhp_guy Sounds fake

@IJoukov @simplesamtx You seem mad - why? I don’t run any Romex at all, I’m not an electrician. Hiding the wiring in the cabinets takes quite a bit of planning and extra effort. Not thousands of $ but I can’t do it for free either. Finishing means paint, but not the kind you buy at Home Depot.

We deal with this all the time. This is a 10-12k job all day every day. (Maybe 8k in Alabama.) But some new guy who doesn’t know what he’s doing bidding wise will price this for 4K. Then we get asked “why are you so high compared to our other bid?” Potential client thinks we are trying to get rich. New guy folds after a year of underbidding work. Rinse and repeat. Usually when you get a few bids and they range dramatically it’s not because some contractor is trying to rip you off. It’s because someone doesn’t have a clue about pricing. Luckily this guy is being told in the comments the truth and hopefully he listens to others in the cabinet business and doesn’t end up losing his rear.

@Bill_Board90 @ClayTravis @FOXNashville @Braves @MLB There are vastly more Braves fans in Nashville than Cards fans.

@ClayTravis @FOXNashville @Braves @MLB That's Cardinals territory. Understanding baseball history along with the power of KOMX will help you understand this.

Hey @FOXNashville, Nashville is @Braves country. Who is making the decision not to put the Braves on for the national game? And it’s insane that this game is impossible to watch in the city as a result of your choice. @mlb has to fix these blackout rules.

@staticvect0r @simplesamtx You can’t buy the materials for less than $2k to actually execute this as pictured.

@simplesamtx i could do this for $2k and a 30rack wtf is this shit

@Steinerwoodwork @simplesamtx To my knowledge I’ve never lost a job to IKEA. The people buying custom aren’t comparing the custom work to IKEA.

@simplesamtx How far is the nearest IKEA? You can walk into IKEA with measurements for that wall and they will design that closet and install it for 6K. If a costumer can access IKEA you will almost certainly be bidding against them.

@IJoukov @simplesamtx Materials for this will be around $2k. Basic finish $2k, premium finish $3k. Couple days to build and a day to install, easily $3k in labor and overhead. The lighting adds a little material cost and quite a bit of additional labor. Then the shop needs to make a profit on it.

Genuinely curious because I never understood this? Why are closet built ins priced so crazy? Only reason I can come up with is it is rich people getting them. Materials are quite basic. It is not heavy construction work. At most it has some very light wiring. What about this justifes 10k

@realEstateTrent If you can’t disconnect for a week to enjoy something that isn’t work, you’re not successful.

I’ve never known a highly successful person who uses an auto-away email.

@NashSevereWx It’s tossing lighting 😁

7:50 pm, new cell has launched in Kingston Springs, headed toward Davidson Co. May scoot juuuust N of downtown. We'll have to see if it grows/starts tossing lightning.

@gregcello I’m going to print this off and put it in my office to read before I go home for the day. Thank you.

@Mr_NiceGuy3082 Here come the $1 list prices. No way for this to work in practice

@Molson_Hart Here’s an idea: Seller’s agent gets x% of every dollar *over* listing price, and buyer’s agent gets x% of every dollar under. Perhaps on top of a base 1% each, or something like that.

Just a couple of days after I tweeted that real estate brokers primarily use their persuasion skills to convince you to take a bad deal rather than to negotiate with the opposing party, the senior broker accidentally copied me on an email to his junior broker doing just that. When I replied, instead of apologizing, he just doubled down. Not all brokers are like this but many are because that’s how the incentives work. Many service providers have bad incentives as part of what is considered “market” or generally accepted terms. When that happens, you can partially solve this problem through a mutual reference or sourcing the service provider through a community they share with you. That forces them to think more long-term than transactionally.

@jamesonhaslam 😂 bro what

My latest marketplace adventure

@ChrisRamsey60 Hopefully you also teach them how impractical that door layout is 😂

My kids will be taught industrial real estate. A+ quality of life Ability to scale The best of both worlds.

@grantmcauley @baseball_ref Inciarte???

#Braves RF Ronald Acuña Jr. just became the 23rd player since 1898 to hit 2 home runs and steal 2 bases in the same game per @baseball_ref. He's the 4th Atlanta player to do so, joining Chipper Jones (1999), Rafael Furcal (2005), & Ender Inciarte (2017).

@jamesonhaslam Incredible

sent a (deck) pic of this curved hard wood to my lumberyard sales rep and he said “they come in different shapes but should still work just fine” thx king

@hradzka @zandpreme You’ve completely missed the point of the post. He’s trying to get concrete work done and can’t find a contractor to do it, so he’s suggesting it’s an business opportunity for someone.

@zandpreme yes, you see this a lot with grindsetters they do SEO optimization and automated cold calls/texts for [some service] and then hire subcontractors to do the actual work, all the while boasting they themselves are in the whatever business of course, they are not

so the problem here is that you don’t actually have a concrete company
