Local online marketing seems to be the next biggest thing. I’ve heard Frank Kern talk about it. I’ve heard Jeff Walker talk about it. Now I’ve heard The Challenge Guys talk about it.

So what about it I hear you ask .

There is a massive opportunity right now that you could make tap into as an Online Business Consultant for small businesses. I know it first hand. I work for one and am currently building a website and doing some web development for one. Small Business does not mean low profit earning or a lower income ; it just means less than 100 employees. Don’t be fooled by the definition. It is not a measure of their income.

It seems Google is very interested in the local small to medium businesses.

Quoting Ed Dale

With 29.6 million small businesses in the US alone, providing over half
of the non farm private GDP, they are importantto the search engines.
The search engines want them online!Just as much as users are looking
for more local search results.

Get this! Currently (again using US figures) 46% of them don'thave a
website, that's 13.6 million small businesses needing your help!

<strong>On Wednesday December 1st, at 8pm EDST</strong>, Caro McCourtie will be doing a

<strong>Webinar</strong> where she will be:

It’s not everyday you come across truly remarkable training, internet marketing or otherwise.

Thorough review helps when making a decision. So I signed up for the Immediate Edge. I was surprised by what I found inside.

NOTE: the link to the website is an affiliate link. This means that if you choose to purchase using this link , I will be paid a commission.So why should you trust me or my review of this site then ? — You should consider what I have to say because I signed up to be an affiliate after I went through the content and saw the sheer value it had to offer anyone visiting it. It is a treasure chest of usable information. Of course you don’t have to buy through my link or any other link if you don’t want to . But do read this post and decide for yourself.

If I had to summarize The Immediate Edge for you in a few words , I’d call it   ” a treasure chest of quality usable internet marketing content” . There is so much good info here that anyone can take and apply right away. But of course you don’t care what I think of it, you want to know what the content is. Let’s get to that then shall we.

What you get at the Immediate Edge for that price is access to 3 courses that sell on their own. You get access to the Blueprint Series, the Challenge Plus series and the Immediate Edge Training .

Edge Blueprints

The edge blueprints have been made with one intention in mind. To get to in a position to quit your day job in six months. Of course the usual thing about you implementing it all and the effort you put in will decide everything. These blueprints sound sane enough . I would like to kindly remind everyone that we’re talking about building a business here. This should come as a breath of fresh air for most people.

Currently there are 3 you can apply. You need not apply all at once. Just any one.

1). Sniper Traffic 2). Blog Farms & Content Clusters 3). Flippa

What you see on your left is a screenshot of the blog farm and content clusters mind map. The entire mind map isn’t there of course but you get the point.

Next comes

The Immediate Edge Training Series

This is a module based series. It discusses everything you need to know in order to build a business on the internet.

Finding a Niche ,Market Research ,SEO ,Social Marketing ,Testing and tracking

Finding a niche : using google insights – don’t be fooled by the free tool. Its how you use them that makes a world of a difference. Niche research mind maps , research using websites, magazines, top sites etc.

There is way too much information in there to discuss in detail or even mention in a single blog post. Niche finding is probably the most frustrating part of building websites and apps for profit. This narrows down and makes the process a lot less frustrating.

Challenge Plus

The challenge plus is the continuation of the challenge . There’s nearly 23 months worth of content .

Month 1 : has 6 modules on using Friend Feed. Audio lessons on Product Creation and numerous lectures on product creation. This is just month 1 .

But the challenge plus material is an add on to the challenge material. This is to say that it would be best if you worked on challenge material first before you dive into the challenge plus stuff.

All this isn’t everything.

There still remains the Newsletters Content.

Newsletters

There are around 21 Newsletters . All filled with immediately actionable content like

Newsletter 11

An entire blueprint for setting up a business in a weekend (or less), including a 24 hour action plan. Plus ways to improve your websites, sales letters and emails, and a couple of other sneaky things :)

The above mentioned newsletter is just one of the many found inside.

All this seems unbelievable . I know . Everything I’ve said is a 100% true. But you need to make up your mind about whether you should take them up on this offer.

Why ?

Because right now its only $1. This is for the trial period only.Check it out while you still can . Click on the image on the left to go there.

Note: the trial period is over . But it is still worth the money if you want my opinion. If you’re looking for something to build on challenge.co lessons, then this is the right place. Anyone could use it but it is best if you have some experience.

As always … Good Luck .

P.S. Little hint – you can still access it for $1 . Just try to exit the page and a pop up should appear. If you choose to stay on page, you will be taken to a page where you can choose the $1 trial period.

Would you be a Dear and hand over your email Quietly ? I’m out of Bullets

Its Tuesday here and I’m seriously excited. I have no idea why though. Maybe its Carlos Xuma’s “Alpha Manifesto” or his “Social Skills” Cd’s. Those are good by the way. They’re also Scary. There’s one thing I have decided to do today.

I’m going to Mugg & Beans. The one in Spinney’s Abu Dhabi Khalidiya .

Sit down (hopefully)

Order Bottomless Coffee ( Dhs 11 and you can keep refilling till the end of time )

Work on my Squeeze Pages while there. ( Booyeah )

Yes. Fun and strange the experience should be.

Moving on …

Here’s a Technique I use. This is easy to pull off and you don’t need to know Html, Css or any of that stuff. Most importantly it gives you way more decent results compared to the free squeeze pages templates you would come across online.

Now granted its not all about a pretty looking page. This is something I came up with out of necessity. My programming skills are almost non existent but my design skills are downright horrible. This technique is not Black hat or illegal . Atleast It shouldn’t be considered that way. Okay I’ll admit this technique is a bit funny. But it doesn’t break any laws. So here Goes.

Basically We’re using the already beautiful web pages. In other words we’re going to use Pages we like. Preferably those of large Wonderful corporations or companies. Famous well off marketers will do Great too. I can’t help but see this in a funny light but its not that bad. Unless we were to take the page as is and literally pretend to be them .Now that would be bad.

What we are doing is taking their layout and font choices because they are awesome. We are not going through the process of starting from scratch. You cannot take copyright logos , pictures that are not Free … that would be downright plagiarism. This happens a lot on the Internet. Professionals don’t exactly by heart the entire markup language and every tag in existence. They reuse previous design’s. Its a pain typing all that up for no reason. Besides …

Imitation is the sincerest of flattery.

Charles Caleb Colton, Lacon, volume I, no. 183 (1780 – 1832)

So I’m going to discuss a few ways I would go about doing this.

A Favourite of mine to Use is the readme.html page that comes with WordPress. Once you complete an installation of WordPress Blog on your site you are taken to the readme.html page. Most of you probably don’t remember it . I’ve removed the links and uploaded it for you guys to see.

Click Here to See It. The link should open in a New Window.

So when you come across a Page you like on the Internet. See if it ends with ” .html “. If it does save it. When Saving , save as type “Webpage Complete”.

This does not mean everything other type of page can’t be recreated or used. We are merely keeping it simple here. Its sometimes is hell Recreating others.

Now Saving as WebPage complete will save any files the .html page needs to load correctly offline. In other words, when you’re not connected to the Internet, you can open your browser and view the .html page and everything will load as is. It should look exactly like you were online.

Then download a Free Html editor called “ KompoZer “. You can get it Here .

Download the stable version. Click on the appropriate file depending on your operating system.

Once you install it. Start the Program.

Open the saved .html file in Kompozer . You should be able to see it as it would appear in your browser. Look under the tab “View” at the top left side. Under View – Preview and Design should be selected. You are now ready to edit the Page the way you want it to be.

I’ll stop here now. The Post is getting a bit long.

More on this next Post…

But you should be Fine for Now.

As Always

Have a Great Day
