Teardowns and reviews

What is it?

If you can help people make an improvement on a problem they're facing, that's a lucrative service.

Think of it as a form of ad-hoc consulting. You're taking a look at a clients issue, and letting them know what they're leaving on the table.

This works best in niches where there is a clear and measurable improvement that can be made. Things like landing page teardowns or Facebook ad manager audits.

But you can apply these methods outside of business niches. For example, a nutritionist could take a look at your weekly meal plan to help you achieve your weight loss goals.
