Local Marketing!

It is 21.30 in Ireland at the moment and I have just hung up on my FIRST local client phone scheduled for 20.00 tonight. I was so nervous and didn't know what to expect.

As a lot of you know, I came to WA and learnt the story of Affiliate Marketing which involves WRITING CONTENT.

I did all the training and l did the steps involved in the training. However, I figured very quickly, WRITING CONTENT is not for me and it would not be something I enjoy in the future,

So I got into thinking and thinking and researching here on WA and it was pretty clear after a short term of research, what I want and can do with my knowledge!

LOCAL MARKETING

My first (test) client was the sister of my ex-boyfriend. I contacted her, asking (knowing that she could benefit from more traffic), if she would be interested in being my first (test) client.

I have created a website for her and also did her SEO. Within approx. 3 weeks after doing everything "Local SEO", she ranked on page 1 for a lot of keywords. WOOHOO... My first client which I am going to use as a "reference".

Quickly after, I posted an ad on a local website, looking for businesses wanting a new website or their local SEO improved.

The outcome, I AM VERY BUSY!

The end of the story, you may learn something you are not comfortable with. Search, research, come clear with what your strenght are, you can make a lot out of nothing. Use your creativity!!!
