is this possible?

Be more specific.... did you finish a marketing "course" on plumbing for your new business? Or do you mean...you finished your marketing plan (for your new pluming business) and now you want to see if your marketing plan will generate new customers?

Please clarify and be more specific.

Success to you,

It always feels good to present your business in a professional fashion too - and that confidence can bring its own results. The pride you have in your business can be infectious - potential customers can sense that if you take that kind of care about your own business, then you will be more likely to take care of them. Plumbing business is a profitable business enterprise which brings in cash flow and gives good returns.

Every client wants the person they’ve hired to do a good job on whatever they’re working on. A great designer will carefully craft every last detail of a website, leaving no section left out. Pay close attention to the details and your client will be over the moon about their design.

He has just completed his plumbing course.

First of all congratulations on completing your trade!

Secondly if you are comfortable with web design and know your way around SEO you can have a crack at it for sure, if you aern't too comfortable with it, yet know the basic fundamentals you can outsource it to another person saving you time and effort but costing you a little more money.

There are numerous benefits with having your business online, typically for tradesmen such as plumbers it'd be a good idea to have a few domains pointing to your website, for example 1 domain with your brand (biz name) and a few others targeting your local location, doing this will allow people in your targeted area to find you by searching "Plumber <area>".

Look around the WSO area of the forums to find things that can help, or check out the warrior for hire forum, these are all great starting points for research and finding out information, which will lead you to the correct decision.

Always remember to plan and strategise before jumping in, analyze what works and doesn't work and cut the things out that do not perform, build your online presence the way you want to, and don't fall for tricky sales pitches offering things you do not need.

Good luck mate

Yes congrats on your plumbing course.

If you are comfortable with SEO and a little web design (wordpress I suggest). It can be fairly simple to rank well in your area and get some customers. Especially if you use Google Places.

Look around here and you can find just about anything you need. Good Luck!

Offer a free report on,

Good Job, I hope all works out well for you!Everyone as great ideas in here. I would say make that Report asap. Offer true value that someone else would normally charge for. Doing this helps the customer to see that you really know what your doing, and your actually trying to help. (Credibility)

Congratulations for your course,
SEO is really helpful for you, you can introduce your business through it very well.

it will be possible if you exert effort and work with it smart enough to lead you to success. But in your case since you are just starting its better to take things slowly as you continue to learn and grow.

Seek help from friends that can help you and other professionals who are successful in the fields the same as you have.

Yes why not every thing is possible.Website design is the main thing you have to work on and secondly if you are planning for a plumbing business then you have to very responsible for every promotions in relevant to clients.

Of course a website is a great idea! But remember, it's only one piece of the marketing puzzle.

Don't forget about:
• getting a Google Places listing
• submitting press releases about your new business
• getting your business in the local business directories
• get a listing in the national business directories (Yelp, ShopCity, Merchant Circle,etc)
• setting up a Facebook page and a Twitter account to promote your business
• put a few ads on Craigslist
• take out a newspaper ad in your local paper
• hang up a flyer at the laundromaat
• and don't forget to pass out those business cards to everyone you know!

Good luck in your new business!

Set up an analytics program on your site so you can monitor the success of your marketing efforts. Pro Internet Marketers would never do without a decent stats system on their websites, so don’t sabotage your efforts with a beginners mistake. There are terrific analytics programs available absolutely free – and they’re easy to deploy and set-up – so there’s no excuse.

Also consider Joint Ventures with other businesses in your area.
Figure out your target customer, and find businesses with customers that meet those demographics. Then offer something of value to those businesses.
For example, offer 25% off a service call. Then ask businesses like a barber shop, to hand those out, when someone tells them they are having plumbing problems.
Do this with several businesses in your area, and you will receive even more business.

Sorry, I didn't mean to get off topic. But if you are looking for more business, then you should look at every angle and not just online methods.
But, I believe you should have a website before you do SEM.
You should have SEO incorporated into your website, and your website should look good. It doesn't have to look immaculate, but like stated above, it is a reflection on you and your company.

Plumbing is the kind of thing that most people need from time to time.

Typically, someone will only seek out a plumber when they really need one of course. Therefore, you need to make yourself easy to find, because it's a matter of customers finding you rather than you finding them.

An exception to that would be if you were selling your services to businesses that regularly need plumbing work, or if you were competing for work on new buildings for example. I'm only assuming that you're serving to home customers, which means you need to make it easy to find you.

Nowadays, when someone needs a plumber, what do they do? There's a good chance they'll open up Google and type "plumbers in [area name]". Ranking for that kind of thing on the search engines will very likely get you customers, particularly if you have a nice website with good copy and testimonials.

Most searchers will probably be comparing prices, but in most cases, only with plumbing businesses on the first one or two pages of the search results. Sure, some searchers shuffle through lots and lots of pages, but most will be clicking on results on the first page, so get yourself ranked highly for relevant search terms!

I used to do High End Residential Window Cleaning... I grew my business 50% annually based on my internet marketing tactics....

This is why I ventured into offline marketing for others in the first place.

That and I can't seem to "play well with others" unless I am the boss.
