The fact that business grows because of people is undeniable. In this world, who you know often counts more than what you know. However, not many businesses have the time or the opportunity to get to meet new people. In today's corporate world, having connections and contacts can be vital to your growth as a company. The right people can mean the difference between your business growing to become a fortune 500 company and utter miserable failure.

The other great advantage to local business marketing is that there is a HUGE demand as many
businesses are struggling to attract customers. Even businesses that are not struggling will always
be open to exploring new ways to attract more customers.
Offline Marketing is not for everyone. If you are somebody that does not want to meet with people
face to face then you will find it difficult to attract quality and high paying clients. On the other
hand, if you are prepared to meet with clients and speak with them on the telephone then you will
have no problems selling smell business marketing services.
Local Business Marketing Services
There's literally no limit on the marketing services you can offer to small businesses, some of the
most common services include: - Building Basic WordPress Sites, SEO, Google Places, Facebook
Fan Pages, Mobile Sites and Email Marketing.
Quite often people always want to know how to make money really quickly as a marketing
consultant even if they have NO EXPERIENCE of internet marketing. Well, I'm actually going to
share with you something you can do TODAY!
Here's how you can make a couple of hundred pounds or dollars in just a few hours.
To do this, you will need to have a digital camera, if you don't have one then borrow one! A friend
of mine got started small business marketing with this method and it really works!
The whole concept is quite simple. Contact small businesses (In a moment, I'll share with you
how) and then offer to create them a social media presence. By social media presence I primarily
mean Facebook and Twitter. This is a great service to offer because most small businesses are
not leveraging the power of social media. As part of this service, all you need to do is go in to the
business and take internal and external photographs and maybe some photographs of the staff.
Next, you create a basic fan page for the business and upload the photographs (takes three
minutes and it's completely free!) Do the same thing with Twitter.
For this service you can easily charge somewhere around $200 or £150 and it is something you
start offering straight away! As a local business marketing consultant, you should always be
looking for a way to generate more revenue for your business. One way to do this is to consider
upselling your client on to other services. If you sell the social media presence service, you could
upsell them 'rights' to the photographs you have taken so that they can use them outside of their
social media marketing. Money for nothing!

2. Local Business Marketing - How To Sell Services
One big mistake I see people make time and time again when they start offering local business
marketing services is that they have no ONLINE PRESENCE themselves! How can you possibly
sell somebody a website when you don't have one yourself? It just doesn't make sense. So before
you offer any services, except for the cool one I shared above, make sure you build a basic site for
yourself first.
The best way to sell small businesses marketing services is to contact businesses by telephone or
by mail. In my experience email does not work and other forms of attracting small businesses
require advertising budgets. You could just walk in unannounced but this isn't my style so I cannot
comment on whether this works.
Here's a local business marketing script you can use, adjust it depending on the service you are
intending to offer.
"Good Morning/Afternoon. I am a [Web Designer] and I've just set up in the local area. I am just
phoning around local businesses to see if you would be interested in a website because I've
noticed you don't have one. Would you be interested in getting more clients with one?"
Once you get a yes, make sure you tell them exactly what you're giving to give them and what the
next steps are. Make sure to also be paid at least 50% or more upfront before you start the job.
