$1,300 in 2 hours (You can do it too!)

[Alex Sol]

Hello, folks!

I am about to tell you a story of how I made a little over $1,100 in less than 2 hours and how YOU can do the same even if you are a newbie. It does take very little technical knowledge and if I say something technical that you do not know how to do - just Google it, that's what I did.

This idea has been posted MANY times on this forum and many other IM forums, it's about taking your online business offline.

I was driving home from (I really don't remember where) about two weeks ago and I noticed this small office with a huge window, they had many led signs displayed and projecting whole bunch of different lights. I figured those were for sale, so I stopped and walked in.

The owner welcomed me and ask if he could help me with anything.

- How is business? - I asked.
- Not too well, replied the owner of the store.

He then proceeded telling me a little more about the business. They sold led displays to businesses, schools, hospitals and so on. I asked if they had a website and as we're in 2008, they did have a website just like many other businesses. The owner told me their website does not bring new customers but serves a purpose of showcasing the products to existing clients and to those who walked in at some point of time and took a business card with the website mentioned on it.

I told the guy that I could possibly help him get customers from the Internet, I proceeded by explaining the benefits of being in the top results of search engines, then I asked him how exactly those products are called and asked him to use his computer.

So I typed: WHATEVER THE PRODUCT Montreal. Then I tried Monteal WHATEVER THE PRODUCT - sure enough his website was nowhere to be found in the first 5 pages of Goolge, I didn't check any further. In fact most results were somewhat irrelevant and those that were relevant seemed to be there by pure luck.

I made an offer the owner could not refuse.

I offered him to build a brand new site that would rank at least in the top 5 results for any keyword phrase he wants. I would charge him $1,000 ONLY if this happens and he agreed. I also asked him to purchase a domain name (that I already had in mind) and a cheap hosting plan - this cost him under $10. (Since he picked a monthly payment plan for the hosting, possibility to cancel any time and the first month was only $0.01). I also asked him to write the name of the top 5 products he sold, detailed description of each product and take a photo of each product. We drafted a quick contract, signed it and I went home. All this took about 30-40 minutes.

In 2 days I received an e-mail with all the information I requested. I logged into his hosting cPanel, uploaded Wordpress, uploaded a few free WP themes that I though would match the business, I also uploaded ALL-IN-ONE-SEO-PACK plug-in for WP and the sitemap plug-in. I created 5 pages, each with the name of the product I made sure to fill out all of the All-In-One-Seo fields with relevant information - so title of the page, description and keywords/tags. In about 30 minutes the site was complete.

I left it alone for a week, hoping to have the time to work on some backlinks, but as I was trying to see if Google indexed it - it appeared on the first page of the results for all 5 keyword phrases. That's not all. Each keyword phrase was ranked as a result #1 and #2! Now, this might be surprising for some of you, but the truth is, when you are doing this for a local business you put the name of the city in the search - which makes ranking on top MUCH easier for MOST businesses.

Anyways, I went to see that guy the very next day, showed him the results which made him speechless and $1,000 poorer. Yes, folks that was it.

Now, you say - it's only $1,000 - but the title says $1,300!
Pretty simple. The hosting he purchased - it was through my affiliate link which gave me a $100 commission (Hostgator on CJ). Before leaving the office I offered him a consultation for.... $200. In 15 minutes I told him about keeping his site on #1 spot by building backlinks. I explained the theory of article marketing - this took about 20-30 minutes.

A week later I received a call from this guy, thanking me once again. In one week this brand new simple WP website (... blog, really) brought him 2 new customers and a profit of $3,000.

... Should I have charged him more for such service? Probably... but it was the first time I tried anything like this and it was so spontaneous - I though even $1,000 was too much to ask. I'll know better next time. However, It was a great experience and he already referred me to a friend of his who owns several used cars dealerships...

So, it is that simple. As you can see nothing technical in it. Or at least nothing that you can't find a video tutorial for on Youtube. I am not a good face-to-face salesman, my offer was just too good to turn down. I promised results or it was free. The only expense I asked for was under $10 for the domain name + 1 month hosting. I am sure some businesses will turn me down - and this was my fear that always kept me away from trying such thing, but for some reason I had a good feeling about these guys, so I walked in with a smile and well... made $1,300 in under 2 hours.

You can do it as well, I am sure of it.

Alex

[alexei_aus]

sounds like a great idea

[Bob Monie]

Good Post Alex. Its Amazing to see that businesses are not taking advantage of local search simply because they dont do enough homework when it comes to marketing.

They arnt up with the times and just do what all their other competitors are doing. And thats usually paying up to $40,000 for an add in my local Yellow Pages.

In the last few weeks I have been offering an SEO service for local businesses in my city. With some new clients, it still amazes me how hard it is to convince some people that its definitely worth it to have their business websites optimized for the search engines.

To help with this i conducted a survey poll asking if people used the internet or Yellow Pages to search for local businesses. I was even amazed with the results. Since the poll was conducted over the internet the results may be a little bias but i think they speak for themselfs. Results can be seen at Do People Still Use the Yellow Pages? ? SouthAussies.com ?

[Ruth Hendrickson]

That's a great story, Alex. Thanks for sharing it here. It sounds like to me you're a better salesman than you might think.

[alexei_aus]

Bob Monie: how much do you charge for your SEO services for local businesses?

I am at Gold Coast

Do you show this poll to your potential clients?
... and if you do, do they just open their mouth, clueless of what to say?

Alexei,

It depends what niche the business is in. Obviously some niches are harder to rank for than others, requiring more time and work. Normal SEO's charge bout $1000 or more a month but I only charge half that. Since $500 a month will only get you a Yellow Pages ad 1/8th page size. So I believe that its great value for money what i offer.

Yes Alex, I show them the poll because its hard to convince people suck in their old ways. You can see the poll cant be manipulated or faked which is important also. You dont want to appear as a con by producing fake info. Cost me $26 wich i thought was a bit rich but was worth it in the end.

[dwoodward]

Great job. Are they using video? have you tried incorporating it for local searches it is huge.

[Allurre]

lucky you... lol.

Just an idea - try asking your potential clients (i.e. the local business owners) when was the last time THEY used the yellow pages to find anything as opposed to searching online and that shouldn't be limited to just a particular service.

BTW: Where did you create/paid that poll?

[Always-A-Warrior]

Great post Alex. Surely to keep this in mind.

[Quentin]

The thing is it was not really a couple of hours as this is where everyone gets it wrong.

All the time you put into getting the info you were offering and so many other things went into the sale.

Quentin

[lakshaybehl]

Alex!

You are rockin' dude...

[Clark]

I also asked him to purchase a domain name (that I already had in mind)

WHATEVERTHEPRODUCTMontreal.com
MontealWHATEVERTHEPRODUCT.com

Could it be one of these?

Did you link back to the original URL from the blog page?

Smart idea though... many ways to utilize and take advantage of this strategy with Local Business Owners.

[Andrew Maule]

I love stuff like this, great work man!

[naruq]

Alex thanks for sharing your strategy on how you earned $1,300 In 2 hours! You gave me a couple of ideas that I will be implementing.

[entrepenerd]

Great job Alex. There is definitely a lot of money to be made in the local business market. Many small businesses are woefully behind the times, and really have no idea how easy it is to improve their bottom line. They struggle to pay the bills not knowing they are just minutes away from having a much bigger stream of customers delivered to them by the internet.

[imaddict]

Great job Alex (and a suggestion). Since you already have his trust based on the results you got him, why not offer some more consulting whereby you do extensive KW research and get him ranked for more terms?

Furthermore, how about PPC? Ongoing testing and tracking to improve conversions for $xx/month? You can even cut a deal where you get a % of the extra sales from improved conversions.

In short, keep milking this one...

Great job once again.

[Spike SpiegelIM]

It's threads like this the reason why being a Warrior rocks.. Great Job ALex and thanks for sharing this with us..

[looseleafpress]

Great story. We tend to forget that the shop down the street needs help with their SEO.

Quentin, I am not sure what you're saying there - but it did take about 2 hours... Sure, there was some time until Google indexed and reanked the site - but it's not like I was working on it...

Well, let's say you are trying to promote a flower shop in Moscow, I'd get a domain along the lines: MoscowFlowerShop.com... MoscowFlowerDelivery.com...

And what do you mean if I linked the blog back to the original URL?
The WP theme I chose looks like a website and not a blog (although in reality it is a blog) but no one knows it So I added pages, and each page has a menu linking to home page and other page within the site.

[trippmarxx]

Good story. Just goes to show you the many different possibilities you can make money on or offline.

[Clark]

Thanks for the reply Alex.

You had mentioned that the business already had a website that was nowhere to be found in the SERP's so I wondered if you made use of that website by adding a link back to it from your new site.

No, I don't care for their site.
It looked really amateurish, complicated and... just bad

[Clark]

Smart move.

I was in Montreal in April to see GSP destroy Matt Serra at the Bell Centre for UFC 83.

Montreal is beautiful and now you own it.

Well done and thank you for sharing your insight.

[Justin Mandel]

Nice work Alex!

[mudmat]

Nicely done Alex!

This means that I have to brush up on my SEO and wordpress skills..
Hehe..

[matthewd]

Way to go man!

[brucerby]

Excellent post Alex! -congrats-

I've also found that getting page one ranking and usually top 5 spots is not too difficult for many local businesses. It depends a little on the specific category, but most are pretty easy to rank.

The techniques of SEO are completely foreign to virtually every business I've spoken to. Just some decent links can shoot a site up fast.

I'll tell you what, well done Alex. It sounds like it's so simple to pull off, but I guess I need to work a little more on my seo skills before I go down this road. There is so much opportunity out there, but sometimes it's difficult to wrap your head around where to begin.

[cscott5288]

thats a pretty intresting story, maybe i will try something along those lines

[Gene Pimentel]

Awesome post, and well done Alex! Thanks for reminding me how simple it really is.

Well, it is quiet simple for most cities. Sure, if your main keyword is "Bank In New York" or "Casino in Las Vegas" - it would be a little harder. In most cities companies never heard of SEO... some don't even have a website... which you can make in 20 minutes

What Quentin is saying is that you spent countless hours learning how to get sites ranked, and this can be invaluable. So yeah, it's $1,300 in two hours, but when you spent hundreds of hours learning how to get the sites ranked, it isn't quite just 2 hours of your time.

[Paul Hancox]

Hey Alex

You're a better salesperson than you think. You offered a "no lose" proposition, and presented it well.

Nice one!

[DENNYBOY]

Hey..the idea is kinda the same which I have just seen in another thread. You proved that the idea works. Thanks for sharing

I am going to give a shot on this idea for sure...

Time to meet local business owners...

[Cash Blasters Online]

Hey way to go !! I have made as much as $3,500.00 in 2 hours online so I know it can be done. I just wish I could do that volume of sales 24 hours a day for ever. But that was just an awesome day for me.
Keep it going buddy, I wish you the best.

Well, i don't think it is a "fair" way to count... When mechanic charges you $50/h - he doesn't say well, it's not really $50/h - because it took me at least 5,000 hours to learn what I know... Do lawyers say that? or teachers? or bakers?... No. The time spent on education is a different matter and can't really be "added" to the count...

Alex,

Great story and you sound like a great entrepreneur! I have been doing this type of consulting for many businesses here in Sydney as well and yes you can make lots of money and have some fun too. You are adding value and putting back into helping the community which isn't a bad thing at all. Just don't be afraid to ask for what you are worth because to some business owners it is valuable information and a big leap for them to use the power of the internet - which I am sure most of us here have mastered. You may want to engage with him for recurring business on a monthly basis - as recurring business is essential. The more customers you have on recurring business the better obviously! Work out a plan where you can engage wit him on how to improve what you have already done on a monthly cost!

And soon before you know the 'word of mouth' will drive you loads of business!

Keep going and good to see you thinking outside the square!

Cheers
Sin Boutkaska

[jhongren]

Hi Alex,

Congratulations!

There are much more commissions to be made such as:

1. other commissions from Autoresponder such as Getresponse and Aweber

2. other profit maximising methods such as list building

3. refer a customer and offer commission too (it is easy for him to refer a customer to you because he sees the result)

Congrats again!

Cheers,
John

[Gilby]

Great idea! How about charging a certain amount of the gross revenue from all the new internet sales. It would dwarf the one-time-payment and give you a nice residual income.

[Traffic101]

Wow. Way to think outside the box and take such a big risk like that. How do you know so much about wordpress products? That really helped you! I would be interested in learning more about that.

Congrats! I guess you found yourself a nice little business!

[Marcus Paul]

Alex,

Great job. That is a great business model right now. I know because that is what I do when I'm not online!

[whyu76]

Wow.. what a smart guy using his internet knowledge turn into revenue.... Congrat!!

It'd be very hard to track the sales, since many people would find the site, call the number and come pick up the product... Even the owner would not know where the customer came from...

I don't really know much about wordpress.
A few weeks ago someone posted a thread here "What's Your Favorite WP Plug-in" or something along these lines... so I looked at all the recommended plug-ins and tried a few... no secret there
