Just brainstorming.. The most simple thing you can offer to small businesses?

7 replies
Hi y'all!

I'm currently sitting here, enjoying the sun in my patio and watching the girl next door failing with the charcoal lighter for her bbq. It's hilarious but also kind of cute. And a bit scary because i'm afraid she's just one step away from blowing the whole yard to pieces.. So, before i walk over to offer my help (being the nice guy that i am), why not start a thread in the offline forum?

I'm brainstorming ideas for THE most simple service that one could offer to small business. You know.. something you could even do for free but that, when worded correctly, has a huge perceived value.

Hmmm..

  • Setting up keyword-optimized social media accounts ("Instantly broadcast your message to millions of people")
  • Google Alerts setup ("See if people are talking about YOUR business")
  • Title-Tag & Meta-Description optimization ("Make potential clients ignore the competition and go to YOUR website instead")

Hmmmmmmm.. Anything to add?



Cheers,
Chris.

    Rus is right. Super simple and provides big bang for the buck.

    Another simple thing is directory submissions i.e. yellow pages etc. Sell it, outsource it, done.
