My Stupid... - I Walked Off My Job today! 5 - Steps to Survive
The Fact is, you might BE RELIEVED if they told you to pack your things TODAY...
You have been PLOTTING YOUR ESCAPE from "CUBE WORLD" by STARTING your own OFFLINE MARKETING Empire for the last several weeks.....
SO YOU JUST WALK OUT !!
FULL DISCLOSURE... I did not actually quit today, and you probably have never done this either. However, I have lost my job in the past, but not by choice....and you may have also...(AND I MIGHT loose it again if my BOSS knew I typed this at WORK ; > )
Now please understand, I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT ANYONE ACTUALLY DO THIS...
BUT JUST LET'S ASSUME ONE of THESE EVENTS HAPPENS TOMORROW.......
A. YOU ARE SO PISSED OFF YOU WALK OUT ON THE SPOT....
OR.
B. YOUR BOSS CALLS YOU IN AT 4:45 FOR SOMETHING "URGENT" (Sorry.....You are No Longer EMPLOYED HERE...)
YIKES!!!
Then it suddenly hits you... "Holy CRAP.. .HOW DO I EXPLAIN THIS TO MY WIFE (or Husband) ?"
Even If you are not in a relationship...."HOW WILL I PAY MY BILLS ???"
NOW REMEMBER, everyone reading this IS A WARRIOR !!! We DO not GIVE IN to FAILURE and LOSS of INCOME !! (Well, maybe for a few days WE CRY IN OUR BEER.)
"THE POINT IN ALL THIS".......
"YOU NEED A "LOST JOB" DISASTER (DR) PLAN !"
Let's get started.....
WHAT ARE THE 5 MAIN STEPS YOU WOULD TAKE to RECOVER YOUR LOST PAYCHECK ??...
Using OFFLINE MARKETING as a Business Vehicle ? I picked this method because of the Large Number of success stories that warriors have reported, EVEN STARTING with Little or NO EXPERINCE in a short amount of time. And also because, I want to KICK START this business myself...
Let's assume YOU already have hosting, email, and all the basics in place.
Here's my suggested list of 5 STEPS:
1. Throw UP a Wordpress site with a Keyword Optimized Domain name (i.e. ColumbusLocalwebSearch.com) List your main services offered (Website, SEO, Mobile SMS, h.comGoogle Places, Constant Contact, Video, etc.) include a Contact form. Slap some video on your site that features one of these services.
2. Find an easy way to SCRAPE as many "Google Places" listings, by category, for my local area
3. Create a "flashy" 1 PAGE, Color on GRAY PAPER Marketing Flyer (Can anyone offer good a source for GOOD PLR GRAPHICS? or OUTSOURCE the whole flyer?
4. Decide which business segments from STEP 2 to target with your message. (Restaurants, service biz, automotive, personal care, transportation, etc) For Brick and Mortar, go to their parking lot 1 HOUR before they open and place your FLYER on every windshield (Good chance you will hit an owner / manager's CAR.)
5. LEARN EVERYTHING you can on this forum about SEO, SMS, Google Places, Video, email marketing. Build a "story" not a sales spiel around how these technologies ARE CHANGING THE WORLD as we know IT, and how YOU CAN USE THIS TO BOOST THE number of HEADS coming thru their DOOR.
SO LET's SEE YOUR 5 STEP LIST........
What would you do different or in what priority?
Who knows, this may help someone who has actually lost their Job or Just wants to Get started in Offline Marketing!!
