Hi, I'm Ely

Ely Fornoville

This is my online journey in bootstrapping a business and monetizing it. My goal is to launch various projects that solve real problems, until I reach that goal. Ultimately I am hoping to generate enough recurring revenue from these projects to support myself. I am not sure just yet how I will achieve this goal but I invite you to come along as I try different ways to get there.

This idea came to me after I had some success selling online shops, advertising and consulting work. For each project I received a 10% finders fee from a friend, who then fulfilled these requests. This generated income, but more importantly, it made me realize that I could take it further.

So, on May 14th 2019 I started working on my first project, Landing Page Specialist. Three weeks later my first client contacted me to talk about a project. This convinced me that the website works and has potential. Currently I am working to improve Landing Page Specialist and make it profitable.

I had other projects in mind, too, but I was struggling to get very far with them. To sustain my motivation and make myself accountable, I decided to set up my personal website and declare my $50k goal in public.

Landing Page Specialist

We are a service that is mainly focused on small businesses and start-ups to help improve their current landing page, website or design to generate more conversion.

Inspiration

The main motivating factor was that I could not find an interesting business that offers cheap and simplified solutions to improve conversion. It always starts with expensive consulting, deep reporting and long execution before getting results. I know it's a tricky business with a wide range of tasks and tweaks but if you take the right approach there is a way to offer good things for a lower price.

Problem

I used to work at companies that offer conversion rate optimization. We had to refuse many smaller customers because our prices were too high. We could not lower our prices or offer a custom price because of the workload we had when using our processes to improve their websites. Small businesses and start-ups often need to search on Google to find solutions on how to fix their landing page to generate more conversion. There is a ton of tools out there but not everyone has the know-how how to use them or even execute the results.

Solution

I put a lot of effort and time into this service to come up with a way to offer 3 types of solutions for small prices and give a big return.

• The starter pack offers all the fundamentals to convert more with a minimal setup
• The growth pack is the most popular and offers an effective way to grow your conversion
• The recurring pack offers everything from the others packages but validates the ideas and designs with an actual A/B test and monthly reports. (this is a monthly recurring price)

In short; We start with a 15 minute intake talk to learn more about your business, based on the AIDA sales funnel we define your goals, create the ideas, create your design and test the new ideas and report on that.

Wanderlost

Wanderlust; have a strong desire to wander, travel and explore the world. But those who wander are not lost. We are not lost.

I quit my job, I sold my apartment and booked a one way ticket to Australia with my girlfriend. We travelled around Australia, Sri Lanka and Indonesia for one year.

Diabetic & Me

I've been living with diabetes type 1 since 1996 and everyday is an awareness day that you are living with this chronic disease.

Many people around the world live with the same condition but it's sometimes hard to understand how others feel or handle their lives.

Diabetic & Me is trying to share these stories online.

You can read about others how they manage their life with diabetes.

You can share your own story and help the community.
