If you’re interested in getting into the “internet sales business”, here’s an opportunity you should seriously consider.
Since so many local businesses have traditionally relied on advertising media like the Yellow Pages to create a presence for their company, there now exists a very big opportunity to offer them web-based promotional services. Why? Because local search is gradually pulling ahead of local media as the “go to” source of information about local business.
The easiest way to offer web marketing services is to team up with us as an Affiliate. Sorry for the shameless plug, but I can’t think of any better advice to give. We’ve been targeting this market for a number of years, already have several marketing products and services in place, and offer healthy commissions. So in lieu of re-inventing the wheel, you might as well promote our services. It is a great way to get your new business going.
The most obvious place to begin offering web promotion services to local businesses is to create a local presence yourself. The first thing you will need is a web page promoting your local business web marketing services. If you already have a website, then you can simply add a page or two describing the web marketing services you provide.
What web marketing services are we talking about: website and blog building, link building, advertising, email services, graphics, writing – whatever you can dream up that local businesses might be interested in buying.
If you don’t have a website of your own, you should create some web pages using some of the free resources available to you. Some of the best ones to use are Wordpress.com, Squidoo.com, and Hubpages.com
Step by Step Instructions for Creating Web Pages
Creating the actual pages is relatively easy, it is the “content” that is a bit harder. By “content” we mean the descriptive text, images, videos, and other materials used to describe the service. We have provided some basic content here. The Local Web Marketing Kit will be available sometime around December 15/08 and will include all the materials you will need to create web pages, blog posts, Squidoo pages, Hub pages, and more.
Creating a Page Within Your Own Website
If you already have a website you are probably using a specific design template when you add pages. If that is the case, all you need is some good descriptive copy, an image or two, and your affiliate link to the Linknet site where the web promotion and web design products can be ordered.
If you need a basic template for a web page, you can get one here.
Like all local business people, successful real estate agents know that their entire business depends on referrals. Referrals from clients, friends, associates, casual acquaintances. And referrals from other real estate agents.
