I recently read the Offline Gold 'lost forum post' and was inspired by it. The idea behind Offline Gold is that you go into local businesses in person and speak to the owner face to face, and ask them if they need any help with their online marketing. You sell them a website and promote them online for an upfront fee plus an ongoing monthly fee. The author claims you can walk into local businesses and walk out with a cheque for $1,500 and that it's really easy to do this. He also claims that '95% of local businesses have no clue about online marketing or have no Internet prescence''.
Does Offline Gold still work in 2015?

I recently read the Offline Gold 'lost forum post' and was inspired by it. The idea behind Offline Gold is that you go into local businesses in person and speak to the owner face to face, and ask them if they need any help with their online marketing.

The author claims you can walk into local businesses and walk out with a cheque for $1,500 and that it's really easy to do this. He also claims that '95% of local businesses have no clue about online marketing or have no Internet prescence''.
I'm skeptical. Offline Gold was written in 2008. A lot has changed since then. In early 2014 I did try this out with local businesses and most said the price was too expensive or that they already had Internet presence
Also I'm in the UK, but Offline Gold is a USA product.
Having read the 'lost forum post', I feel inspired to give the ideas a try, but I want to know if it still works in the UK in 2015? Don't most local businesses already have Internet presence? Is it really that easy to go in and walk out with a cheque just like that? Can I really charge big money for website creation and online promotion? I mean, anyone can make a website for next to nothing without knowing any HTML etc, so why would they pay $1,500 and an ongoing monthly fee?
I really want to believe this works, but I need answers as I don't want to waste time walking round local businesses and pushing through fear etc if this doesn't work. I doubt it's as easy as the author claims. In my experience, the real world has obstacles to overcome along the way to success, and selling always involves a LOT of 'no's' along the way to getting 'yeses'. None of the 'wealth gurus' tell you that, they make it seem like success is plain sailing .
Who here is making money in 2015 with this method? Please let me know how you're doing it, and what I need to do to make this work.
