Local businesses can dominate the competition on the web!

Congratulations, you have a company web site (or at least I hope so!). How much did it cost? As you know, a good one can run you thousands of dollars. Maybe for that amount of money, you’re thinking, “Well, that’s done.” A web site, however, is NOT the same as web presence. Unlike crock pot cooking, it’s not a fix-it-and-forget-it proposition.

So your site exists on the World Wide Web. But how do people find you, and what incentive do they have to do so? Enter the role of Internet marketing. You wouldn’t just throw some signage on your truck then expect the phone to start ringing off the hook, right? Then why do so many business owners do that very thing when it comes to Web advertising?

As opposed to large, national corporations, local businesses often feel at a disadvantage. They simply don’t know how to market online, or they haven’t learned the value of it. Just like with anything new, we use our excuses as a shield.

“I don’t have time for the Internet.”

OK, well I hope your competition doesn’t, either.

Recently, I took an Internet Marketing Mastermind class, which was taught by my good friend, Ray Higdon. I have an extensive media background and always knew the importance of marketing on the net. However, in the class I learned techniques and tools – many of them free – that I wished I had known about years earlier. They would have saved me time, money and a ton of headaches. Ray plans to run another Mastermind sometime in the near future. When he does, I’ll be sure to let you know.

In the meantime, he and his partner, Brad Dohack, are offering a FREE video explaining the Biggest Internet Marketing Secret for Local Businesses. I don’t know how long they’ll be offering it for free, so I recommend you check it out right now.
