I started a couple of nichified sites with directories on them as part of the site. It has become apparent that the website owners in this niche are not at all search engine savvy so lets see what happens!!

Abracadabra!! Jonathan Hi Ryan,

I am sure that one of my clients – a solar panels company (hugely competitive niche) thinks I am some kind of magician as I have got 2 of his sites on Page 1 of Big G for competitive long tail keywords and he is picking up new clients every week.

Abracadabra!!

There are some 49 million Google Places listings that are unclaimed by the owners of those businesses. Just contacting them and pointing them in the right direction brings a lot of income. I supply a free guide on how to set their Places listing up and have a "do it for you" service. This is just a precursor to providing SEO services to their website if they have one. If they do not a website I have a lease option and a full blown award winning website designer available. This is also followed by FB Fanpage set up and management of them. It should not be forgotten that there are many under the counter businesses that earn more than Doctors, Dentists and Lawyers. Not XXX under the counter companies but industrial companies that are multi million turnover companies that are not visible on the internet and they do not realize the need for an Internet Marketer. So much to do. Thanks again for the link they all help. Hey Ryan,

Instead of them paying me a one time upfront fee for the online work, they pay me $50 for every new ongoing customer, and 10% of their fee for any repairs or one-time customers. This keeps them swamped with business, and I have income from them for a long time to come. Has worked great for both of us. @Steve1776,
