1. Helping The Offline World… YOU Can Do This!
=====================================
Do you understand the value of having a blog? Or… how to use an autoresponder to keep in touch with a mailing list you have created… or, the value of giving away a free report to build your reputation and drive traffic to your website or auctions?
These are simple internet marketing strategies that we have been discussing this past year… (If these ideas are new to you – I encourage you to browse through my blog a bit to learn about these revenue growing strategies www.jennihunt.com/blog)
Do you remember your ah-ha moment when you realized that you could comment on other blogs and leave a link to our auctions for more visitors?
There are many… MANY… businesses that don’t have a clue what is out there online. Even being an eBay seller – puts your leaps and bounds ahead of these businesses when it comes to the internet and technology.
The thing is – these businesses are suffering right now. They are stuck into thinking that they have to pay large advertising fees to get listed in a phone book or special direct mailing… and although these advertising venues can be profitable – the majority of these businesses are missing out completely on what I think is the most effective advertising!
They don’t realize that about 85% of the people looking for some sort of service, product or information go to the web FIRST! Many don’t even have a web presence… let alone, an effective one.
Most businesses that actually have a website just threw something up there that looks just like their brochure. It isn’t made for the power of the internet… they aren’t doing anything to build a mailing list that they can follow up with… they aren’t doing anything to drive traffic to their site… and they don’t even realize that they should be!
If you have ‘seen the light’ and have even the slightest understanding of the value of applying basic internet marketing strategies to ANY business (online or offline)… then, I have to share this with you.
Offline businesses are hungry right now… they are hungry to grow their busineeses in this difficult economy but they don’t know how or think it will take a lot more money than they have.
Of course, you can use the tools you are learning about and coach offer to coach these businesses for an instant income — but, I have a better solution 😉
Jim Cockrum has put together a new site that is all about giving people like you (and me) the tools needed to HELP these local, offline businesses!
Everything is there… and, the best part… you don’t have to know HOW to do any of it – you just need to understand the value and potential these offline businesses are missing out on.
www.helpofflinebiz.com
OfflineBiz is a site that coaches you through the process of helping offline businesses in your area grow into the internet world. It is an amazing resource and couldn’t come at a more opportune time really.
Anyhow, Jim has a free report that he has put together that explains the potential of this business – and it is worth a read. You can get it through Monday Madness – or just go here and request your copy:

Holiday Toy Guide weekly reports starting…
If you are selling on eBay, you really can’t afford to NOT sell toys during the holiday season… and starting the first week of November the Holiday Toy Guide is going to make it easier to know what is selling and what isn’t.
If you haven’t gotten your hands on the Holiday Toy Guide – this is the perfect time because we are getting ready to start the weekly updates.
The weekly updates take the long list of toys that is expected to be the most popular this year (it’s about 80 toys long right now)… and we look at how each is performing on eBay compared to retail pricing.
This is put into a report that is emailed to Holiday Toy Guide GOLD members starting the first week of November… and a new report with current information is sent out every week all the way up to Christmas (that’s 8 weeks!).
To get the most value from your Holiday Toy Guide Gold membership – and to get all 8 weekly updates, you have to sign up before November 5th.
