The Ins and Outs of Being An Offline Business Consultant

Helping local small business owners with their online marketing efforts has become the new big thing. There are a ton of resources out there, some in the hundreds of dollars. For those of you out there who want to earn money with this business, but simply don't have the money to buy any of these courses, I've got the solution for you.

I recently put together an offline business consulting product. It comes with:

10 How To Videos where you'll learn how to set up a local business directory for your city/town

"5 Recession - Busting Ways to Generate Leads Online For An Offline Business - by Alex Poole Includes Master Resale Rights

"The Truth About How To Create A Search Engine Friendly Website" - by Scott Wilson Comes With Rights

"The 7 Secrets To Websites That Sell" - by Scott Wilson Comes With Rights

Resource links to MP3's, blogs, articles, etc (all FREE)

Ok. Here's the deal. If you want access to this product, you have to do one thing.

Make a donation to the March for Babies using the link on this page. That's it!

It doesn't matter how big or small the donation.

On April 26, 2009 the March for Babies will be holding a walk in my area. If you want to make a donation and get the Offline Business Consultant product, you only have until April 25th.

Don't believe it? Go to your local yellow pages and pick any section. Out of the section you chose, how many businesses list a website? Of those that have a website, how many are truly using that site to its full advantage? Meaning do they have some sort of newsletter, tip of the week/month, customer appreciation program, etc. Can you find them through Yahoo! or Google local? How does their site rank in the search engines?

Now do you see why they need you? If a business owner is smart or truly aware of the power of the internet, they have a website. Or, perhaps they want a website, but they think they need to spend thousands of dollars and don't want to risk that much on something they aren't familiar with. You and I both know better. We know that we can built a free website to generate traffic. You've heard of blogs an squidoo pages, correct? We also know that it's possible to build a simple website for a few hundred dollars.

What about article marketing? If you're like me and you either hate writing or simply aren't good at it, you can pay someone $2-3 per article. Blogs and squidoo pages fall into the same category. Heck, creating websites, performing seo, link building, and creating videos do as well.

If you find a business owner or website owner that needs a certain service and you don't know how to do it, find someone who does. You can make money helping local businesses simply matching them up with knowledgeable people.

Let's say I find a few websites that don't rank well for local terms. I contact them and I get several to agree to pay for SEO service. Well, I don't know much about SEO. What do I do? I find someone who for XX amount will perform the service for me. I raise the price by $50 and get the business owner to agree. I just paid an easy $50 and I didn't even do anything!

To really make a good side income performing these simple tasks for local business owners, you need to build a team. You need web designers, SEO people, article marketings, people to create videos, people to create blogs, etc. Look at different sites and offer to give people steady work if they will give you a good price. Pick your team and them start marketing to local businesses. Oh, and if you aren't good at selling in person or over the phone, you can get someone to do that as well. Just pay them on a commission basis. Each service generates a certain commission.
