What I’m about to reveal is going to make your jaw drop…and it’s so simple it actually scares me a bit.
A local business portal is simply a website you own that hosts information on different local businesses.
All you need to do is grab the address, phone number, website URL, and any other information on the business that you can find with relative ease.
Put up 10 or so listings and throw a few links at the home page and the pages that list each business.
It helps if you put up some header tags that target long-tail local keywords relating to the business you’re listing…
Then, put up an opt-in box on each page and have some kind of call to action like, “For preferred customer discounts sign up here.”
Within a few days you’ll start showing up for the business names and the local keywords.
Wait until you get a few opt-ins and then call up the business owner (or send them a letter…but that’s a chapter for later)!
Tell them that you have them ranked for their business name and whatever keywords they’re showing up for in Google.
Heck, tell them to get online and walk them through it over the phone!
Mention that you have collected XX leads for them and that you’d like to discuss how they can monetize their list.
BOOM – you’re in. Schedule a meeting and set them up for a $300/mth listing fee and include bi-weekly e-mails with the package.
You can also charge an upfront fee to setup other lead collection methods like flyers, customer receipts, etc.
Now you have a nice, residual income building and after their lists reach a couple hundred you can start doing joint ventures between business owners, sell them more services, or just keep collecting the monthly checks!
Pretty cool, huh? This is a “gold nugget” from Offline Gold Summit. If you want to learn the secret behind an instant 7-figure business portal, well, you’ll have to let Willie Crawford tell you about that one.
