SEM Business Blueprint Question

Reco Davis · 07-15-2009, 05:33 PM

Other than the cost of the product, how much money will it take realistically to get this thing up and running?

I'm looking for an estimate on other materials or things that are absolutely necessary for the success of the program. For instance, will I need to go buy business cards, flyers, things like that in order to get the business off the ground?

Thanks,
Reco

There are several ways you can do this; just online or offline advertising too, I personally recommend that if you go that direction you should do newspaper ads in bigger cities as they convert well.

Thanks...

Have you personally done ads in bigger cities? I'm looking for an example of copy on this and basic pricing. I'm in Atlanta so probably I should just call up the Atlanta Journal and Constitution for a quote...?

There was a WSO that offered a newspaper ad that was just kickin'. Does anyone remember the link?

Also, as far as costs go for starting up an offline business, I've been doing offline work for about 5 months now without a website or business cards. I'm about to get them because I'm expanding now.

But don't let that stop you. This is one market where you can say that you're doing work to develop referrals and people will do it.

In fact, I just sold a package last Wednesday. The prospects never asked for a portfolio. They did ask for my website and business card and I told them that I don't use them because clients are looking on the web for these services. And they just nodded their heads and said, yeah we weren't looking for you on the web either.
