Ryan,

Can you ask Kevin if he can make a payment program for his product?

Thanks

As many have mentioned above, most businesses do not know or understand internet marketing. Just having a website is all they know, probably only a few have heard of seo, capture pages, so on… If you know how to create a lead capture page, set-up an autoresponder and a little seo, then you are an expert to most business owners. These are skills you can market, especially in today’s economy.

It all started with helping my daughter’s daycare owner with an auto-responder. Next thing I know I’m helping a pizzeria, a gelato cafe, and a music studio with ‘direct response marketing’.

Now I walk into any local business and begin chatting up the owner to help them explore new ways of driving customers to their door.

The key is NOT TO SELL! You are there to lend your expertise in helping them solve THEIR problem.

After speaking with 20-some local business owners, it’s clear how dire our skills are. Sure, 80% of them have a website, but less than 10% of those have any lead capture or direct response functionality (coupons, online ordering, subscriber incentives, etc.) Without it, a website is nothing more than a pretty sign along a very busy highway.

The next stage is to approach local business organizations with a presentation on these findings and how brick and mortar businesses can benefit from online marketing. Watch how quickly you build a client base!!!

Thanks Barry! We got that fixed yesterday as soon as we could get a hold of Kevin’s office. I’ll be sending out a mail to the registrants today that should clarify the time.

This is a very good way to make some quick cash. The only thing that sucks is that you actually have to spend some good time doing the work … unless you OUTSOURCE IT!

I’ve been doing that successfully for a couple of months now and perhaps the most useful resource are local marketing companies who already have the customers’ trust -and budget- but lack in staff or resources to jump in the online world.

Its not as easy as you make it sound. I’ve been doing this for a little while and I know it can be tough as nails to get customers to see the potential in getting found on Google, etc. Some of them are really stuck in a paradigm.

Ryan-

LOCAL is where it’s at. I run an outsourced SEO firm and the local listing are so EASY to gobble up for competitive businesses when you combine articles, blogs and video…

Good luck to all of you who are inspired by this post, you ARE smarter than these business owners, and you can make great money by simply getting them online!
