I need to get started, help needed warriors

Wow same life situation as me, except I had no fun lol. I've managed to get clients selling websites/facebook services to local companies. I went to my local grocery store which has a wall for local companies to put cards and fliers. I emailed every one that had an email, which was 53. 3 of them are now clients, and I picked up a client from cold calling.

I almost screwed up my first client though. I was too eager to sell her, I didn't even think it might not work. But facebook for health coaches are not bad, but you cannot get a lot of clicks through advertising. If you can, congrats. Fixed it, we are now going to rank a video.

Also I have not been able to get the clients to feel urgency over the phone. I tell them i'm here always, and sell them on it, if I get the chance to talk to them. But they all want to wait a short period to get started. Be sure to have a sense of urgency, I'm not sure how to give that advice as I have not succeeded at it yet.

Good luck, those are my recent humps in my offline marketing. BTW I only planned on doing offline until I could save up enough to invest in mobile marketing, which in my case will still be offline marketing. So if you just need a quick jump of money to invest in some larger or innovative ideas, that's what i'm doing and hope it works.

Local marketing is a great idea. Small companies have no ideas about SEO or Facebook ets. You have to talk to these people however. Other ways choose a niche you are passionate about. Do some keyword research and see how many people are searching for this. Then build a website around this. Start to offer products such as ebooks ( that you write) or video training. Start another blog about how you did this and tell people what you are doing. What problems you faced and how you solved them. What products did you use etc. People are intrested in this stuff.

Thanks grey38, and by enjoying I mean sarcastically doing nothing
so basically you did offline business of SEO right
what sort of facebook services you mean, that seems interesting to me, do you mind if I PM you?

thanks bobdarko, what work is involved in it for day to day basis.

List down the things you can do that others can't. Can you juggle 15 or so ultra sharp knives while blindfolded? Can you modify a car engine to run on water? Can you solve the inequities of the global economy? Next would be to:

Trim down this list to a list of things you can do to help solve urgent problems and satisfy immediate needs of others that they can neither solve nor satisfy on their own. Trim it down further to a list of things that can be packaged as a solution, a product, a service offer or content. Trim it down further to a list of things frequent Internet users regularly search online. Trim it down further to a list of things people are prepared to buy online. Next:

Develop that product, solution or service offer. Develop content that you can use on your site to let others know about your awesome greatness and coolness in helping others with urgent problems and immediate needs that can be solved and satisfied by your solution, product or service offer. Next:

Place your content, info, advice, solutions, products and service offers in front of people who need it and on other sites where your target customers hang out. Let them think and feel, by viewing your content, reading the info and advice you wrote and using your solutions or products or service offers, that your main objective in life is their unconditional happiness...

That's it, fundamentally. If you don't have time to learn how to do these things, pay for the time of others with experience in doing such tasks. If you also don't have money to pay for the time of others who can do these things for you, find someone you can convince to invest in your business concept, say a friend or relative or a multi billionaire philanthropist who has already dedicated his or her life to fighting crime and poverty...

Thanks for the insight!

Things don't happen overnight. In fact, don't be disappointed if in another 3 months you haven't moved anywhere and your bank account is still a sad state of affairs. To succeed in this game, you have to work damn hard, go through the lowest of lows and completely change your direction in thinking.

My advice is, just pick something you think that suits you, and run with it. Work harder than you've ever done before and stick to it. It's a long process but none of this doesn't happen overnight...but it will happen

Thank you des and birdi for the suggestion.. does eveyone do the same?? I mean sometimes if thought IM seems easy but sometime it is very difficult to get into.
