And you know what? You are too. If you have ANY kind of internet marketing skills you are already a million miles ahead of those people out there that have no skills at all. Guess who doesn’t have enough time to learn those internet marketing skills, but would benefit most from them? Local small businesses.
If you are on my mailing list you will be following along with the story of my start-up company and my guinea pig clients. The first client has no internet presence at all, yet they have grand ideas and they have a market they need to crack. How are they going to attract customers beyond their Yellow Pages entry?
Kind of a no-brainer isn’t it?
Yet it is all voodoo magic to small business owners. Keywords? Niches? Statistics?Terrifying stuff!
Ok some of you are still going to be worried about your knowledge levels in these areas. That’s cool, I will be talking to you a little later about how you can still go out and start your own business as a local small business internet consultant. Remember if you even know what those words mean, then you are still a genius compared to to those small businesses.
Just for today, think about what you do know, instead of lamenting what you don’t.
Planned and executed my exit from the corporate world. Walked away with a 6 figure payment to boot.
Hey Allison-
I’m a fellow 30dcer and I’ve been very inspired by your story and was actually interested in starting a similar consulting business in the town where I live. However, I have NO idea about how to target and pitch clients on this service for their small businesses.
Are there any tips or resources you could suggest to someone getting started?
Oh that’s embarrassing – I signed up for your email list and found the whole story on your other site. Sorry!
Great to see a 30dc’er here. I’ve just started my training. Cheers!
