OFFLINE MARKETING

Hey guys,

One of my 2013 resolutions is to get somewhat back into offline marketing.
I'm a Wordpress master and have a ton of design experience, I've heard of some pretty interesting business models but the ones that appeal to me most are Website Leasing, Website Design & Social Media Marketing.

Can anyone offer any advice? I can provide an amazing portfolio of work and skills for anyone that's wanting to team up.

Looking forward to hearing what you guys have to say about the way things are looking in 2013.

BTW - I'm active in both Los Angeles as Vancouver, if anyone knows about those markets and what works well, that would be epic

Build a portfolio website. Get on the phone with local businesses of whom have no website or have an outdated website. You could try selling mobile websites as well. The main thing to take out of my advice here though is to start calling local business owners. Don't try and generate leads via e-mail or direct mail until you've had some experience talking with these people and receive immediate feedback on the needs and trends within whatever niches you choose to target.

Judging by the OP you seem like a smart guy. You should do well.

Best of luck,
Jon.

Make sure that you're focused on offering businesses what they want. Some of the things discussed in forums are what people 'think' will sell. Many times it's off mark.

I'm sure that what you bring to the table can of use, but it's making sure it meets needs as opposed to something you simply enjoy but you can't identify a market for.

You can find a list of some real-world and profitable wants business owners have in a post I made here

Hope it goes well.
