Local Small Business: The Last Profitable Niche Market

Trying to find a market to make a profit is getting harder and harder as there is more competition on the internet. There is however one market that is relatively untouched and is massive.

Local Business

Local small businesses make up 63% of the US economy and the vast majority of them know nothing about internet marketing.

Now about 80% of people go to the internet first to get information before they buy, but most of these local businesses don't even have a website, and if they do, it is so bad that it is not ranked and not getting them any results.

This is where we come in. Having the knowledge and understanding of how to run a business on the internet and drive high quality traffic to these local business websites can sometimes double and triple their profits. It can be the difference between going out of business and having their best year ever.

Small business owners know nothing about internet marketing and they are willing to pay handsomely for someone who does.

They have no time and no interest to learn the stuff that is needed to make a business rank in the local and organic searches, not to mention pay per click.

They also don't know what they are missing until you present them with the facts and a plan that will help drive their business.

You can ask for a fee up front of $1,000-$5000 for set up and a monthly fee for ongoingmaintenance. You can also make a contract for a percentage of the profits generated from your work. Depending on the client, this can be five figures a month or more from just one client.

Here are the things that you can offer to sell your clients that will make their mind boggle and get them to throw money at you.

Keyword research, Personal Branding, SEO Optimization, Online Domination in Local/Organic/Pay per click searches, Ranking with different search engines, Online BusinessDirectories, High Quality Backlinks, Article Marketing, Blog, Video Marketing, Press Releases, Geo-Targeted PPC, Testing, Tracking and Optimizing, Craigslist and Classifieds, Discussion Forums, Audio Podcasting and List Building.

If you know how to do all, half or even a bit of that list, then local businesses need your services. You may know some small business owners personally that you might want to approach and practice your skills before going to some bigger clients, but the fact is, local small businesses need and are desperate for these services and will pay you well for doing it for them.
