Up until now, you may have concentrated on building your Internet marketing skills and income online.
However, you may be ignoring a valuable segment of the market for your skills – the offline businesses that need your help.
That's right; there are plenty of mom-and-pop businesses that are struggling to make it in this recession and would love to know how to cut costs and gain wider market exposure, but they have no clue on how to do that online!
As you well know, where there's a demand for a solution, there's a way to make riches.
All you have to do is to understand how to educate offline business owners in what they're missing and to create solutions that meet those needs.
At first, when you first approach offline business owners, the first thing out of their mouths will be, ”I already have a website.”
While that may well be true, they aren't understanding the basic difference between owning a static website that just sits there getting stale and having a Web presence that is alive and bringing in new customers on a regular basis.
You can bet that the - 2 - majority of business owners don't understand how the Internet can work for them, other than as an advertising medium.
They think it's like a business card or a billboard. They don't understand that a fully functioning Internet marketing program doesn't just advertise; it brings in traffic and customers and should save them on their offline operating costs as well.
Don't be surprised if you come up with a little resistance at first, but you are going to have some ready answers to help business owners understand why they need your help and why now is the best time to get a flourishing online presence for their businesses.
