My approach to “we can’t afford it” for SEO, webdesign, content creation, etc… is to also offer training. Some people will pay a few hundred dollars for a couple hours of my time. I go over the basics or whatever, so they feel like they can do it themselves.

If it turns out they can do it themselves- great. Everyone’s happy. I got paid for my time. Maybe they’ll buy my book too, or at least subscribe to my blog and tell their friends.

Often, they start to realize how unable they are to do all these things, and come back to hire us after a month or two. But this time, they know why they need to hire us, and how much time/effort/experience goes into it.
