A service business uses a skill to help a customer. Start with one clear result and a small paid job. Learn from that client before you add more services or take on more work.
What to check before you start
- Sell a clear result, not a long list of tasks
- Include your time and possible changes in the price
- Write down a repeatable process before adding clients
