Helping My Bellingham Auto Mechanic Get More Customers

I happen to have a very good Bellingham auto mechanic, who repairs not just my cars, but also my generator, my quad runner, my trucks, my horse trailer, well you get the idea.  Well my mechanic was forced out of his former location and has to start all over again, letting people know where he is and also I am sure he would not mind a few new faces in his customer lineup.

I have decided to help this Bellingham Auto Mechanic develop a great lead generating web presence.  Did you know that 70% of US households now use the Internet when shopping locally for products and services?  Might as well let them know about this auto mechanic and the excellent work he does.  Stay tuned to see what happens, you might pick up a few pointers on getting more clients or customers for your own local business.

Online Revenue Workshop Mastermind

I think the online revenue workshop mastermind is a great idea, for a number of reasons:

• This mastermind is available to all workshop participants before the workshop
  
• Everyone has a  opportunity to expound on what they want to take away from this workshop
• I see what each of the hosts specializes in and what success means to them
  
• I listed what success means to me as well as some of my websites, we all get to do this
• I get to see what others going to the workshop are doing
• I can see what they look like and their interests
• Since I am hearing impaired, I can read about them and can fill in the blanks a bit when we meet
• I can print some of the mastermind sheet so I can remember names and faces better
• I have something to do and read before going to the workshop, sort of like the Sears Catalog before Christmas

You should presume that I make money with the links on this page if you purchase from the links

Why else do you think I am attending this Online Workshop

If you did presume, you were right!

“Are we clear?”

Help Local Business Internet Marketing get Better

You should have an idea of which local businesses in your local area are already hungry buyers for what you have for them. You will be able to approach them with confidence wether by phone or inperson. Your local business marketing skills, applied to their business and marketing plan, can really boost their revenue.

Beware of using technical terms when speaking to these businesses. Remember these are intelligent people, they know their business. They don’t know about auto-responders, split testing, affiliate links, or analytics for Web pages. You’ll just confuse them and they will avoid you, their business is complicated enough as it is.

What you should do is find out what their business and marketing plans are. Help them target their most profitable merchandise, products or services.  Remember find their needs first, before you offer any solution. You’ll likely get a new client and residual income every month for helping that client.

Local Web Marketing

with long tail keywords

Some people live in a very small town with a dwindling population so they look to the web to help shore up their customer base, so a domain name with their city name is not all that helpful as they feel they have captured most of their city’s potential customer base.   Perhaps using the county or parish name would help, I use the state name as well.

Another method you can use is long tail keywords.  Long tail keywords can be used in the domain name and also in page names and text to target specific items.  A whole book has been written by Chris Anderson Called The Long Tail you should read the book for a better understanding, but for now I’ll give you and example.

I sell my horses on the web, a desirable keyword for me is horses, that’s  the head keyword but I will never be listed for that keyword as I am just not that good, nor do I want to be, there are people that make a full time living doing SEO or search engine optimization for companies that pay them very well.  I am going to assume that you have a business of your own that is why you want to get on the web, but not spend full time at it, I mean you got a store to run or a service you perform there just isn’t enough hour in a day right!  Now you could hire a SEO professional, or follow the long tail.

• Horse – the head keyword
• Quarterhorse  – I rank this as about the neck
• Quarterhorse for sale  – we moved down the body a ways
• Red Roan Horses – now we are at the tail
• Red Roan Horses for sale – the is long tail
• Red Roan Mare  for sale – even longer tail
• Red Roan Mare for sale Whatcom County Washington – we are way down a very long tail

For a domain name I choose what is available and that tends to be something near the tail as a example in the past, I have used the domain http://red-roan-horses.com as a feeder site to my main sales page.  I just built it up again tonight to give you and idea of how simple this site can be, I even used a free website builder supplied by my webhost and it took about 10 minuets to figure out and do it that way.

Here is a screen shot of the page note: I put my phone number and my address this will help with local searches, as a matter of course I try to put my address on most pages I create.

You can do the same for what you are trying to market using local web marketing with long tail keywords
