OK, but you're basically saying, "my techniques work, except the example I'm presenting is entirely fictitious" -- and I know that it is a totally nonsensical example that simply has nothing to do with reality.

My point is that, especially if you're offering courses or trying to teach people, stick to what you know about from experience, not what you imagine might work based on an extrapolation from first principles.

That thinking, that it works in theory and that's enough to sell, is dangerous, because it lets people go a long way down the wrong path, just trying to think things through.

OR, if that's not your intent, don't make up fake examples that are obvious nonsense to anyone who's tried it.

It sounds like your mind is made up.

Continue working on freelancer.com and I'll continue helping businesses grow while living my dream as a freelancer.

For reference I have been doing what I wrote for 2 decades and it certainly works. Good luck!

I think Frondo is saying you should just change your example niche from Food trucks to something like barber shops that are small businesses with the same problems but usually directly benefit more from software and internet presence. A website with booking calendar is a clearer benefit than "just" web presence.
