The Offline Goldmine guide was written by a group of us who decided to give these strategies a real shot. We decided to focus 2 months of our time on penetrating the offline market to see just how viable it really was.I’ll be honest with you, none of us really expected that our business would grow so quickly, in fact, we were all looking at the process as an interesting experiment more than a life and business changing endeavour.What we discovered however is that there are literally hundreds of businesses in every town and city across the world that have yet to connect to the global outreach that the Internet provides.While many of these companies know that they SHOULD get “online”, few of them have any idea how.Worse, it’s extremely intimidating for these businesses to even consider hiring a service provider online to develop their websites and help them get their message out to their market because they simply don’t know whether the price quotes they are given are reasonable, or whether they truly need specific services that are being offered in a carousel of up-sells and ridiculous offers that will never truly help their business grow.But when someone comes along who is available to them locally, who seems to have a solid business plan created, and who appears to genuinely want to help their business expand and reach out to new customers, they suddenly start to feel hopeful again, to envision how much larger their business could be when given this fresh new online audience.You will be able to generate more interest and build a larger client list in a short amount of time than nearly any other opportunity available to you, just by connecting with local businesses and offering them something they know they already need, an online presence.The Offline Goldmine will show you exactly how to build a profitable business following simple, yet proven strategies that will solidify your place in your local area and help you generate ongoing business by taking offline businesses – online.The possibilities are truly endless!To your off and online successTable Of ContentsOffline Goldmine Introduction 5Creating Your Business Plan 10Site Building And Renovation 16Hosting 17Maintenance 17Seo And Traffic 18Email Marketing 18Building Your Client Base 20Ways To Locate Clients 20Walk-Ins 20Cold Calling 20Flyers 21Direct Mail Marketing 21Business Cards 21Yellow Pages 21Chamber Of Commerce Meetings 22Seminars And Speaking Engagements 22Newspaper Advertising 22Look Online! 23Solidifying The Sale 24Contracts 25Building Your Outsource Team 27Pricing Your Services 31Flat Rate Vs.
