Use internet marketing to get offline local businesses

Monday, January 4th, 2010

Much talk has been generated recently of helping small businesses garner an online presence, to reach out to more customers. I have had a tough time trying to convince owners that internet can do wonders for their business, especially when i try to pitch one to one.

I found the following works best (i am in singapore, by the way)

I send out mass fax, or postcard marketing, with the bold title- “Can the internet triple your business?”

Followed by a $5 seminar, it cannot be free because you have to disqualify prospects.

I will wait until there are 30 respondents before i actually launch the free seminar.

Once you have all the owners in one venue, its easier to show them on the screen, how their business compares to the competitor.

Its tough work, but it sure does pay well!

Do not buy leads!

Monday, November 24th, 2008

Here’s why… You can get the same amount of traffic for free by building relationships online and you can get better quality this way. Join social networks, and make your presence known to people. You do not want to blatantly advertise like I have seen many people do and it’s a real turn off. It just seems like they are trying to gain a quick buck. You want to build friendships. Leads that are bought usually never convert well at least to my experience. Get to know people on sites like myspace and facebook. I don’t like many of the social networks that are solely for marketing because there is usually lot’s of spam and lot’s of competition. You should be in the mindset of quality rather then quantity. If you have money to invest, it should be on something to expand your knowledge… not 1 time leads that might not do anything for you. At least with information products you can learn something new that you can put to practice.

One thing I also notice is that people are always ready to quit early and never look into the future of their business and move on to something else for a quick buck. When I joined a few programs in the past… I noticed one of my sponsors constantly moving onto something else quickly and never really taking the time to take to their affiliates. It’s not a bad thing to join multiple programs because it’s a good way to make multiple income streams. You want to take the time to teach your referrals exactly what you do to build their business so that they can ultimately do the same and build their business thus making you more money. That’s why it’s the best thing to build a relationship with them rather than promoting randomly.
