Is anyone doing local business? If so, how are you creating income?

Great question, I want to someday offer web consulting to local businesses. I've casually look at the web presence of the local businesses and have found that most either don't have any web presence or... they aren't fully utilizing there web presence by capturing info with opt ins, etc.

I'm anxious to see what others have to say.

Hey Majyk,

Just what do you mean by doing local business? In what way? On the Internet or brick and mortor? Or both combined?

If you are referring to working with local brick and mortor businesses in your area, and making money with them on the internet, try reading this thread:

Internet Marketing And Offline Businesses - Marketers Space Forum - Internet Marketing Forum and Marketplace

And yes, you can make money -lots of it helping local business getting established on the internet.

Hi Majyk,

Over the last few weeks I've started to look at working with local businesses and each require different online marketing help. Some are more advanced than others, but if you have a fairly good understanding of Internet Marketing, you should be able to provide a useful service.

Some local businesses have no idea about what to do online, and you could maybe analyze their business and produce an online plan for them, showing them the options available to them. Others have websites and a good idea about what they want to achieve. The main thing seems to be to understand what each individual business\business owner wants and help give it to them.

Hope this helps,
Shane.
