Simple Offline Money Maker - NO SEO, NO Autoresponders, No Maps, Etc!
I get questions everyday about different methods to make money from offline businesses without having to do complicated work. Well, I was just brainstorming and I'd like to share this with you all...
Here is a method of selling an internet marketing package to OFFLINE local (or abroad) businesses that does NOT require any SEO work, setting up of auto-responders, Google Map submissions, portal sites, rent-a-sites, etc.
This method is simple and easy and you may or may not have already thought about doing this in one way or another.
The service you will be offering to offline business owners is to set up their sites on ALL of the social networking sites -- Which is something most businesses are desperately trying to get done, but they just don't have the time or know-how.
The Package
As I see it, the value of someone coming and setting up all of these accounts for a business is high, especially since there are so many "domain squatters" out there who want to steal the name of a business and make a Myspace page, a Facebook page, etc. in the name of a business in order to leech off the traffic by using another business's name. <----- Selling Point! When you pitch the offer to business owners, you should "remind" them that there are theives out there who will register their business's name potentially if they do not.
The package that you will be offering to offline business's will include (but does not have to be limited to):
• Setting Up A Blogger Blog
• Setting Up A Squidoo Lens
• Setting Up A Wordpress.com blog
• Creating A Facebook Account
• Creating A Myspace Account
• Creating A LinkedIn Account
• Creating A Twitter Account
Total Package = $200 (At Just $25 Per Service) (?)
I personally have larger corporate clients that pay a lot higher fees but for MUCH more services, so I never actually tested this exact model out... But I am positive that it would make money! And the ROI is great considering basically NO start-up costs and easy work!
This is simply a break down of something that you can do with little to no experience and little to no start-up costs to make money offline.
If you feel as though $200 is too much and $100 is more fair (many people undervalue themselves or feel "guilty" of charging too much or fear that business owners won't pay) -- Then do it for $100!
Or vice versa, if $200 is too LOW, then raise the price and come down from there...
However, remember... Everything is negotiable!
To some of you this might sound like a LOT of stuff, but it's really not. All of the above services take only a few minutes to set up and are all FREE to create an account with and start using.
Put your own twist on it to make it better for you and to maximize your profits.
You can also UPSELL them on writing content to fill up their blogs/lenses/social networking sites and/or other IM services.
I hope this sparks some ideas and gets some kind of creative juices flowing!
Please feel free to share your thoughts, ideas and twists.
Best,
