Why don't you go out and ask what local businessmen need I am very sure that within 5 miles from your house there is a way of paying for your premium membership at wealthy affiliates

This business could it be done if you don't have a laptop. Yes of course it can. You could build a sample WordPress site at home on your PC using the principles taught at Wealthy Affiliate's and then go to a printer and get some cards printed showing what's on offer and then get them laminated.

Find out the cheapest way of getting business cards in your area and then you're good to go apart from the domain name.

A domain name is only about $12 a year. It could be Phoenix plumbers, Denver decorators, or New York lawyers.com.

Again if money is the problem to start use the age old, tried and trusted barter system. Go to your local print shop telling me once a business cards and what can you do for him in return for those business cards.

If you don't know where else to start go to your local headdresses if you're a lady particular if you have your permed or colored, see what you can do for them in return for having your hair done for free.

This approach may look amateurish but the hands-down get dirty go out and speak to people will win over an advertisement every time. Another method of getting to know local business people is to join your local Chamber of Commerce.

Don't forget what you are actually selling many year of prospective customers will say to you they already have a website. They will probably also tell you that it doesn't bring you then any business.

Your answer to that is the fact that they not buying a website but a showcase for the best of local businesses and their advertisement will have pride of place. I would be tempted to offer two prices, one for a full-page advertisement and one for half page advertisement or one for seven-page website and one for three page website.

To get your first customer offer them the biggest package for the smallest price believe you me there is competition in business and wants another service industry sees another in that service industry with the best advertisement they will want one to. In fact for your first five customers you can literally say you can do it for the service they offer meaning you literally work for food, but here is the proviso.

Tie them into a contract so they will be billed six months from now. Okay it may well happen that you will have to go out six months from now and start selling again but I doubt it.

By this time you will have the page ranked and it doesn't have to say the Taj Mahal Indian restaurant, Brick Ln., London you should run your page as Indian restaurant brick lane London. You will have six months to rank that Page and in that time can do so.

After six months you will be selling a number one ranking.

It's also not a good idea to go to these businesses on a Saturday there are often busy and fob you off, - the same applies to lunchtimes. If no one bites, the hook, then go fishing another way.

Build the website anyway with five restaurants will it cost you the price of the domain and maybe a couple of hours time. Build it and take your business cards to other restaurants and say what you like to have your business advertised like this on the first page of Google, and leave your card.

Do a search on Google and see what the directories are doing, my guess is they use advertisements and you are selling the personal touch.

If for any reason you are not getting sales it is because the price is not competitive in your area so haggle and get what you can. Go in as a customer, and take your meal for his service if you have to. If that's what it takes do it because they will pay six months down the line.

Catherine, I knew you were brilliant but this really takes the cake. I'm going to put this into practice a.s.a.p. (It's 5.30 pm on Saturday so I can't start talking to potential clients immediately.) I can make a start by purchasing another domain name NOW. Thank you so much for such valuable insight. Bookmarked, of course. ~Marion
