I want to use this opportunity to thank all of you for all your prayers and wonderful wishes for me on my Birthday.
Special thanks go to those that make out their time to celebrate with me and to those of you that couldn’t make it to attend but sent me a message via my email and on the comment section of this blog.
You all are simply wonderful, imaging the world without you guys. I really appreciate and also wish you all Long Life and Prosperity. Today, I want to talk about different ways that Internet Marketers can benefit from offline business. Let’s get started.
I know most of you would have known or thought of this concept before, but I just thought of it too and decided to share it with you people. But before I proceed, I will like to ask a question thus, is it too late to tap all the profit potential of consulting to offline businesses? I don’t know but it seems that all the local businesses around you have started putting up their own websites.
But if you check through your local business programs and see that a lot of them have websites, that doesn’t mean they don’t need you. Offline marketers are in demand more than ever as local brick and mortar stores and small services businesses try to increase their online visibility.
Below are just a few of the services that you can render, not minding if the offline business has their own online presence already.
Website Redesign Service
Most of the businesses out there today have either created their websites themselves or had a friend do it, with less than professional results. Review the look and feel of local websites and see where you can help to improve it.
That might be through a more beautiful design, better navigation, better sales copy, or many other ways that could impact their customers’ experience.
Social Media Management Service
Helping an offline business build their reputation and presence online through social media is a subject all on its own. The world of social media is getting more overwhelming to navigate every day. And that’s just from an internet marketer’s point of view! So, imagine how the local business owner feels trying to figure out how to benefit from all that social networking. They need someone who can chart the waters for them, advise them on where to be active, and manage the metrics to see how they’re benefiting.
Fresh website content
An offline business owner needs to focus their time on managing and marketing their business. Adding content to their website or blog is an extra bit of pressure that they rarely have time for. You can help relieve that stress and boost their online presence at the same time by providing content-writing and publishing services. And it’s even something you can outsource yourself so you can spend time helping other local businesses at the same time!
On-page SEO and traffic
Chances are, if they did not have an experienced professional do their site, the local businesses on-page SEO may not be up to your high standards. They may not have analyzed their traffic and rankings at all, so the owners may not realize this. In fact, most local business owners have no idea what the term SEO stands for. You can help educate them on how to optimize their site and offer your services in doing keyword research and on-page optimization for those keywords.
Off-page SEO
There are a multitude of SEO services out there inundating business websites’ email inboxes every day. A large portion of these solicitations sound like spam or shady characters that a local business owner wouldn’t trust. As an offline marketer, you have a huge opportunity to help businesses increase their search engine rankings. By forming a more personal, face-to-face relationship you’ll have an edge over those impersonal emails from faceless marketers.
It’s unlikely that any business website has maximized their potential to the point that they can’t use the services of an expert internet marketer. You can capitalize on the ever-present need by identifying your own strengths. Then look at the local business websites in your area to see who you can help.

Yes, absolutely everyone is online now. All businesses have websites, or are in the process of getting them built. And a lot of them feel overwhelmed, and not up to speed — particularly about social media.
And they’re all around you when you think about it. You can just walk into local businesses and leave your card, or even do flyer drops. If you keep at it you’re sure to get some leads.
Nwangene Theodore says
Absolutely Matt,
You just hit the nail on the head, that’s exactly what I’m talking about. Just walk into local businesses and leave your card, or even do flyer drops, can’t agree more man.

Hi Theodore
It’s not an avenue I’ve explored but I’m sure there are many opportunities in offline business.
You’ve given me some great ideas to take forward. Certainly setting up a website for a local business could be something I would be interested in doing.

Hi Theodore,
There are many offline businesses that try to have an online presence nowadays but do not have any idea how to start on it, so they hire those who they think are good in doing websites, SEO, article writing, social media networking, etc. It really is nice to know that offline businesses are taking advantage of using the Internet to attract more customers as well as keep their regular customers in buying their products or using their services, but sadly not all establishments haven’t taken advantage of this being present online yet.
PS: I think there’s a problem with your CommentLuv plugin..
Nwangene Theodore says
Thanks Felicia for notifying me about the commentLuv issue, i have fixed it.
Yea i agree with you, there are many of them out there, and if you can help them get online, you will make a cut from it. Thanks for coming dear.
Felicia says
No problem, Theodore.
I can see lots of offline businesses in our place that that are quite good, but they still do not have an online presence. They think it’s just a waste of time and money. The reason is because most of the owners are very old already and they aren’t into technology.
Nwangene Theodore says
You just need to let them know why It’s important for them to have an online presence Felicia,
Just give it a trial first and lets see how it goes.
Thanks for stoping and do have a lovely weekend.
