Hey Kiesha!

I am serious. I think social media for local business marketing is the next big thing.

I think I’m going to spend more time developing some entrepreneurial ideas there as opposed to trying to monetize a blog…

If I can help/collaborate in any way, please keep me in mind!

Cheers.

By the way – I mentioned and linked to you in my new post How Do You Use Social Media to Boost Local Business.

Cheers!

Hey Kiesha!

That all sounds really cool – very much buys in to the idea that “they are coming”.

Hey if you ever have more on your plate than you know what to do with, I’d be happy to lend a hand if I can!

Cheers!

Interesting take, and you’re right to a point. Without traffic, and/or subscriber lists of some kind, there is no one to market too.

It is extremely important, traffic is #1 essentially.

That aside, it is indeed a two way street. What’s the point of 100,000 subscribers that you don’t know how to market too. LOL

The marketing tactics and principles is what I’m all about; mainly targeting newbies in direct sales taking their businesses online, I am of course open to all.

I’ll be much more tightly focused now moving everything to a new blog. I was getting too much into the blogging tips…this will be a 2nd blog of it’s own eventually.

I’m currently working with a local baker who is trying to expand the reach of her business. I’m actually doing a wholistic approach, we’re focusing on boosting her sales regionally and then adding the web component as a way to stay in touch with new and referral customers, as well as reaching new customers. I’m also doing some writing projects and developing some marketing plans for others.
It kind of caught me off guard actually, but so far the results have been encouraging – I was surprised by the demand for writing – I just assumed that because I enjoy it that everybody does. Glad I was wrong about that one

Hey Keisha!

I’m working riight now with a local business showing them how to focus their target audience to have abetter chance of being found on the search engines. They have an SEO contractor already – my value add is not about HOW to do SEO – but rather WHO they should be targeting in their search marketing.

I also have recommended a Linkedin strategy to get more targeted leads as well.

What specific projects are you working on for local businesses?

Oh – BTW – I reviewed David Risley’s webinar from last night.

That’s fine, Don. The focus of my webinar was not how to serve businesses, however. It is only one opportunity for bloggers, however it is not the primary focus of what I do.

There is also about 100 pages of reports and an hour of video that came out before that webinar. So, I beg to differ – I gave a lot of meat.

But, I got it. Thanks for the posts nonetheless.

Hey David!

Thanks for your comment. To be frank, I was disappointed with yesterday’s webinar. I didn’t think you provided enough specific examples as to HOW we can capitalize on the coming millions.

I know it’s implied that your course will address this but a webinar should really add some value and really provide some meat for folks to sink their teeth into. And I don’t think you delivered, unfortunately.

Thanks.
