They wanted to know when I was going to set everything up for them that they just bought from me. Even though I never promised this anywhere in the sales materials that I would set it up for my customers. They demanded that I help them because and I quote; “My house is cold and my children are hungry and even the dogs are ready to start looking good as food.”

I responded to them and said that I would be sending over a refund because the money they just spent with me could buy them and the kids food for at least a week. Then I proceeded to ask them if they can do writing or graphics or something like that because I could help them find some ways to make some fast income.

I feel horrible for this individual, but my reason for refunding them and responding in the way I did is because I want them to understand that if you are in such a desperate horrible situation why would you spend over $50 and then rudely demand from the product owner that they help you now even though it is a holiday nonetheless?

I enjoy helping customers and I love helping people in need, but I really think that if you are in such a bad situation that maybe you should hold onto your money and use that for the most important things which is survival at the moment.

For those struggling right now here are some ideas that may help you get some emergency cash.

1. Start a writing business and do article writing for other Warrior members. Maybe offer your services just to get in the door at $3.50 per article. Sell them in packages of 10 articles. So $35 per package then sell 10 packages. Boom right there you have $350. Now you have a lot of work, but if you do a good job you should be able to retain some of those people or find new ones. I am not saying you need to undersell your services, but if you need money fast then you need to do something drastic to get people to take a risk with you.

2. Start a link building service. Offer to do social bookmarking, blog commenting, forum posts, or other links for maybe $0.35 to $0.50 per link. Sell those in packages of 100 links.

3. Write a report or ebook on something you are knowledgeable about and offer PLR to it and run a WSO for it. Make sure it is quality, but that can make you some money.

4. Contact other Internet marketers through their support desk and offer your services to them. Even if they don’t need it maybe their students need help.

5. Seek out other webmaster forums that have a Buy/Sell/Trade section and offer your services there.

The main thing is that if you are at a point where your option is to feed your kids or buy an IM course I would encourage you to always choose feeding your kids. They are number 1 and the most important. Then make some money using the ideas above to buy that Internet marketing course and take action on it.

Hope this didn’t come across as too harsh! Happy New Year!

 This is a great system for how to make money online as an Internet marketing consultant for local businesses in your area. Enjoy this powerful article.

The important thing is that you take action on this system!

The System

Forgive me if this seems kind of short from here, but it’s a pretty easy system. Please don’t mistake it’s brevity and simplicity for less effectiveness. Sometimes it’s the so-simple-why-didn’t-i-think-of-that systems that are so great.

1.First you are going to look for some local businesses that have websites. Which is much easier today then it was when I started this in 2005. Now you can search Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, and many other sites.Once you find the businesses with the websites find 5 or 6 that look like they were designed a long time ago or could really use some improvements. This shouldn’t be too hard since most local business websites are horrendous.

2.Next you are going to pick one of them and re-design their website (or higher someone on scriptlance for $50 – $150). Make sure you take notes as you redesign the site about your reasons for different colors, navigation, buttons, functions, and anything else you change. You’ll need those notes in just a minute.

3.Now that you are finished you call up that company and say… “Hi, my name is Justin Brooke and I’ve redesigned your web site for free and I’d like to show it to someone. Who would that be?”

The gatekeeper won’t be used to this response and will usually be confused enough to just pass you on to the owner/CEO or the right person to talk too. If not just ask for a way that you can make sure he see’s your re-design without taking up his time like an email, fax, or OMG “Snail Mail.” Just make sure you get a way to get your design in front of the decision maker.

4.Once you get the decision maker on the phone you are going to introduce yourself and use this little script that I perfected over the years. “Hey Bob, thanks for taking the call this will be real quick because I know you’re busy. I’ve redesigned your website and I’d like to show it to you. This won’t cost you a thing and you are under no obligation to buy. I just want to show it to you and if you like it you can buy it. If you don’t then we go our separate ways with no harm done. Would Tuesday or Thursday be best?”

That’s it…

Just keep in mind that you aren’t selling anything on this phone call, just getting an appointment. After you ask for the Tuesday or Thursday… SHUT UP! Silence is the strongest sales tool you’ll ever experience because it forces the person on the other end of the call to make a decision.

Seriously, I don’t care if you have to wait 45 minutes, DO NOT be the first person to talk or you will relive their pressure and possible lose the appointment. People are much more comfortable with saying yes then they are saying no so usually they agree to the appointment.

After all it’s free, they have no obligation to buy, and you’ve just redesigned their website… They want what you have.

Closing The Deal At The Appointment

We would then setup the appointment and I would either show them via remote desktop sharing (webinar) software or in person. I would explain all the reasons for my changes and the benefits of the re-design (those notes I told you to take). They would naturally ask how much for the design and I would start off with $2,500 but say that I can work with their budget if they needed a sliding scale.

Then, I would say that I needed a decision in a week though because otherwise I would have to delete theirs. That I only get paid when I sell one of these re-designs, so I can’t afford to wait on them forever.

The urgency along with the sliding scale discount really helped nail down the sales and create impulse buys. Finally I told them that I accept checks through my bank and credit cards thru Paypal.

This system worked just fine until I ended up pursuing other interests like blogging and information marketing. Feel free to use this system exactly as I’ve mentioned to create your own web design business.

What Would I Change Today

If I were to pick this business back up, and I’m very tempted too, then I would most likely outsource the whole thing.

I would hire designers from Scriptlance and pay them either weekly or per project. Then I would hire sales reps from Craigslist and pay them on a commission only structure. The designers would get about 25% of the project and the sales rep would get 25% for each design he sold. Leaving me with 50% for just managing the business.

If the sales rep sold more then 4 designs in a month then I would give him a bonus 10% on his sales to give him an extra incentive to perform at his best.

Well I hope you’ve liked this little peak inside how I do things. If you are the type that likes the “Offline gold” or “Offline to Online Riches” reports out there then you’re really loving this, because this is the real deal.

This is how I put food on the table for quite awhile when I was just starting out.

If you have any questions or just want to tell me you liked this post then please do in the comments down below. I’ll stick around for a few days answering every comment.

1. Not Taking Action

Time and time again I see it that the students that do not take action do not succeed online. I learned this the hard way myself. I wasn’t doing much until I started to actually sit down and take action on stuff I was learning. It is amazing what happens when you actually do what you are taught. You will learn more and really succeed. Even if the program you bought into doesn’t explain things well enough if you take action you will find that you figure it out, or figure out a better way.

I learned what I know now through taking action. Through testing and through trying new things.

2. Not Changing Mindset

People enter into this business with a skeptical mindset all of the time. I can understand this to a point, but the problem comes when people won’t change their mindset. They get so caught up in being skeptical and worrying about it being a scam that they forget to actually take action on what they are learning. They are so negative that they don’t think success is even possible.
So if you are going to do this you really need to be willing to be confident in yourself and believe that you can and will make this work for you.

3. Lack of Support

One huge factor people don’t succeed with most of the programs online today is because of a lack of support. Many people just need to be able to pick up the phone and ask a question live and get the answer they want. We have found by adding this to our program our students love us for this.

So many times people are just on verge of success, but they are missing just a few key points that could make a huge difference.

Again, let me know your thoughts on these 3 opinions. Would love to get your opinions here.

Paul, I have used many your techniques (not all) over the past few months. I had chosen several long tail phrases that I wanted to achieve ranking. I am still on page 3 for a couple, and for several I am now on page 1.

In this article I am going to detail the process to creating your own traffic machine which can really get people going to your site in nearly any niche market. This can apply for online retailers or local businesses. So anyone with a website that takes action on what I am covering can see some great results!

Step 1: Generate Keyword Ideas

You need to be focusing on keywords or keyword phrases that your target market is going to be looking for to find what you are offering. If you are selling pet products than you would search for keywords related to the products you carry. If you are a local, primarily offline business, think of the niche market you are in and how your customers would find you. As a chiropractor, for example, you could find keywords related to back pain relief, car accident injuries, etc.

You want to look for keyword phrases that have a fair amount of searches so you know you are targeting keywords that people are looking for. A good rule of thumb is to target keyword phrases that have more than 500 searches per month.

The free tool that I recommend for this research is the Google Adwords Keyword Tool.

Using that tool create a list of 20 topics or keyword phrases related to your business.

Step 2: Write Articles

Next you want to write articles based on each one of those main keyword phrases that you have researched. So in total you are writing 20 articles. Alternatively you can outsource article writing for around $5 per article through www.elance.com or www.getafreelancer.com.

The articles should be between 400 and 500 words in length, and each article title should start with your main keyword phrase. This is very important.

So if your article is about back pain relief than one example of a good article title would be like, Back Pain Relief - 7 Steps to a Pain Free Back

Notice how I fit the keyword phrase into the article title, this is very, very important. Just focus on writing solid content within the body of your article and you will be all set.

Next, make sure you create a resource box or author bio box that will encourage people to visit your website. Each article should have one of these with a link back to your site.

Step 3: Submit Articles to Article Directories

Now it is time to submit the articles to several top online article directories. I recommend you submit them to the following five article directories:

1. www.ezinearticles.com
2. www.goarticles.com
3. www.articledashboard.com
4. www.articlesbase.com
5. www.ideamarketers.com

Make sure that your title for each article contains your keywords and then make sure you have a resource box going back to your main website.

Step 4: Create Network of Web 2.0 Properties

With the other set of 10 articles you want to create 5 pages at www.Squidoo.com and 5 pages at www.hubpages.com. You will want to link these pages together along with linking to your site. So on these pages within the content you can add a link to your website and also a link to another page you have setup on Squidoo.com and Hubpages.com. This will help those pages rank in the search engines.

Now you have a total of 50 article submissions being done and 10 web 2.0 properties that makes a total of at least 60 different places your content can be found for now.

Step 5 (Optional): Write 5 More Articles

This next step is optional, but you can write or create 5 additional keyword rich articles and add them to your website with each article being a new page on your site. Just make sure the title tag for that page is the main title of your article which should be keyword rich.

This will add more chances that Google will also find your site. Now, you can do this with 10 more articles or 50 more articles. Obviously the more you do, the more results you will get.

Now simply go out and repeat this process until you are seeing the desired results you are hoping for.

At its heart, your item description is an ad. Without making it too obvious, you should be writing sales copy. You’re trying to get buyers excited about your products, and that’s usually hard - but on eBay, if you have the right thing to sell and give enough details, the buyers almost excite themselves.

Technical Details.

Include every technical detail you know, including the item’s manufacturer, its condition, how big it is, where and when it was made, its history, and anything else special about it. Don’t be too boring, though: the best descriptions are written in friendly, conversational language, and show a real knowledge of the item. Whatever you do, make sure you tell the truth!

Remember that most of the people who’ll be buying your item will be just as knowledgeable about it as you are, if not more - this is their hobby, and they’re experts. Don’t feel like you need to explain the basics of the item: just go into as much technical detail as you can. As a rule, don’t write anything in the description if you don’t know what it means, as the chances are someone will, and if you’ve got it slightly wrong then you’ll look like you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Interesting Details.

You might find that you enjoy writing a few things about how you got the item, why you’re selling it, and who you think might like it. This isn’t strictly necessary, but it gives your auctions some character and a personal touch, and can make people more likely to trust you. People might wonder what you’re doing selling 500 CDs all at once, and if you tell them the reason, then they’ll feel reassured that nothing dodgy is going on. If you’re selling them because you’re having a baby and you need the space, just say so.

Write as Much as You Can.

Leave nothing out of your description, even if that seems to you like it makes it cumbersomely long. There is no way you can be too thorough: someone, somewhere will appreciate that you took the time to write the extra information.

Don’t assume that anyone who wants extra information will email you to ask a question: many buyers are shy and won’t do it. Think of questions that buyers might have and add the answers to your description, as people generally tend to ask the same questions over and over again.

Each time a buyer does email you with a question, you should both answer their question and update your description so that it will include the answer next time. If people ask questions that are answered in the description, try putting these parts of the auction on a line alone, or in bold, to make them easier to notice.
