</p><h2>Small Business Owners don&#8217;t miss this information it came out over the weekend.</h2>
<p>If your business is a bit slow or you could use more leads for your business. Be a seeker!</p>
<p>Seek the information&#8230;Do you understand that your prospects or customers are all online using social media, watching videos, or reading content?<br />
<span id="more-9460"></span><br />
I have no doubt when it comes to generating leads for an offline business. If you are wondering what is an offline business.</p>
<ul>
<li>Restaurants</li>
<li>Retail Shops</li>
<li>Doctors</li>
<li>Attorneys</li>
<li>Landscapers</li>
<li>Snow removers</li>
<li>This list can go on and on&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>You can be generating leads everyday!</p>
<p>Sometimes, I wish I could just pour my believe into individuals. Just like pouring water into a cup.</p>
<p>I do realize by speaking with so many small business owners, they don&#8217;t understand how to acquire new business or engage with customers using social media. That is why my partner and I created Social Aftermath to help out as many small business owners in Orlando, FL.</p>
<p>Take a look at these 3 post as they deliver valuable content for the seeker.</p>

</p><h2>As a  small business owner do you wonder if it is worth it to collect email addresses of your prospects or clients for email marketing?</h2>
<p>Within the online marketing world, we understand the importance of emails or list building.<br />
<span id="more-9442"></span><br />
It is another tool for marketing. Heck&#8230;with a targeted email list you can create a very good living or fortune from it.</p>
<p>Now, if you are a business owner and you are not collecting email addresses for your business. You are losing a big chunk of profit!</p>
<p>With email marketing it will keep your prospects up to date with exciting information about your company. Plus, a great way to build relationship to increase sales.</p>
<p>However, before you can collect someone&#8217;s email address there are 2 simple components that you must put into place.</p>
<h3><em>Create a compelling offer</em></h3>
<p>When you have a visitor on your site, blog, video, or Facebook page. It is important that you offer a compelling reason for a visitor to give you their email address. Give them a benefit or what&#8217;s in it for them to exchange your offer for an email.</p>
<h3><em>Offer something of value</em></h3>
<p>Once you capture their attention with your compelling offer. Sweeten it by offering a coupon, video course, eBook, or software download. Make it so they are eager to put their address in the form.</p>
<p>Make email marketing a part of your <a title="small business online marketing" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/social-media/small-business-online-marketing-biggest-mistake/" target="_blank">small business online marketing strategy</a>.</p>
<p>In case, you are wondering is email dead? Take a look at this infographic -</p>

</p><h2>Are you hearing that content marketing is important?</h2>
<p>The truth is you can reach a larger audience with online content marketing for your business. It has never been this easier to reach out and gain new prospects or customers online.<br />
<span id="more-8576"></span><br />
You can reach out to individuals locally or world-wide. Just that alone should get a business owner excited. Knowing you don&#8217;t have to be spending so much money on old ways of marketing.</p>
<p>Do understand that just having a website is not enough to gain more customers. You&#8217;ll need a method to promote and educate your products or service with constant fresh content marketing.</p>
<p><strong>Are you wondering what is <a class="zem_slink" title="Content marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_marketing" target="_blank">Content Marketing</a>?</strong></p>
<p>Most marketers know what is content marketing. I want to chat with those that own a business and have little or no clue what is content marketing.</p>
<p>If you are not familiar with this technique. Look online and see all of that content within your niche market. That is your competition stealing your prospect and customers from right underneath you.</p>
<p>Take the time to study on how you can utilize this technique  to distribute information about your product or service over the internet.</p>
<p>What you&#8217;ll want to focus on is informing people on what you have to offer and how your service or product is a must. By educating people over the internet. You are now reaching out to the masses and exposing your business to a greater audience.</p>
<p>One of the key components about content marketing is not to sound like a salesperson when promoting a service or product. This can be challenging!</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll want to come across like you are having a normal conversation with someone in a room.</p>
<p><strong>There are different strategies you can use online to reach out to an audience using content marketing:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><a class="zem_slink" title="Blog marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog_marketing" target="_blank">Blog Marketing</a></li>
<li><a title="Video Marketing" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/mlm-business-training/3-video-marketing-tips-that-i-debated-to-tell-you-or-not/" target="_blank">Video Marketing</a></li>
<li>Social Media Marketing</li>
<li>Article Marketing</li>
<li>Email Marketing</li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see this is totally different than your typical newspaper, magazine, yellow pages, or TV advertisement that most individuals believe is the only way to market. <strong>I like to call it &#8211; Old School Thinking</strong></p>
<p>It is time to kick off your new year with a <strong>New Marketing Mentality</strong>.</p>
<p>Here is another powerful component of content marketing. It allows you to connect with your audience while they are learning from your content marketing.</p>
<p>Hands down content marketing strategies is a powerful way to gain new audience and customers.</p>
<p>If you own a business and want to know how to take advantage of this type of marketing but just don&#8217;t know where to start. Simple start by connecting with me on <a title="Connect With Me" href="http://www.facebook.com/JoshGarcia20" target="_blank">Facebook</a>. It&#8217;s just that simple!</p>

</p><h2>Do you have a business blog?</h2>
<p>You are seeing and hearing that business blogging is worth it. Most likely hearing fortune 500 companies are jumping into the blogging sphere.</p>
<p>You are most likely asking yourself&#8230; <em><strong>Do I need to have a blog?</strong></em><br />

The truth is having a business blog is a very simple way to stay connected with your prospects and customers. Not to mentioned it allows you to create new prospects and build a relationship.</p>
<p>If you are running a business, I don&#8217;t care <strong>what kind of business</strong> you are running. You will be able to generate new business with a <span style="text-decoration: underline;">business blog</span>.</p>
<p>Not to mentioned, having a <a title="Blogging Tips" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/blogging-tips/10-reasons-why-some-blogs-become-more-popular-than-others/" target="_blank">blog</a> will allow you to develop a strong presence online and build a strong brand.</p>
<p>Here are some statements I get from business owners about starting a business blog:</p>
<p><strong>- I don&#8217;t know where to start?</strong><br />
<strong>- I don&#8217;t have the time to manage a blog.</strong><br />
<strong>- I started a business blog and it is too much work.</strong><br />
<strong>- I need help and don&#8217;t know where to go?</strong></p>
<p>I can keep going on&#8230; Here is what I say to individuals that say this: <em> </em></p>
<p><em>As you are making these excuses, your competition is generating new leads and building an online brand for their niche. Is there any more excuses?</em></p>
<p>My friends, there are individuals and companies that are doing extremely well because they know individuals are making these excuses and preventing themselves from succeeding.</p>

</p><h2>Blog or Website is a question most business owners are asking today.</h2>
<p>This has to be one of the top questions I receive when I&#8217;m talking with business owners.</p>
<p>If you currently have a site and debating should you keep it and add a blog along with it. Or simply start all over with a blog. Hopefully I&#8217;m able to help you with that decision.<br />
<span id="more-8429"></span><br />
If you are reading this and owned a site in the past and now own a blog. You know that you are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">receiving</span> far more traffic to your blog than your website.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s some data I gather from HubSpot.</p>
<p><strong>Companies that uses a blog receive far better marketing results -</strong></p>
<p>- Receiving <strong>55% more</strong> visitors than a regular website</p>
<p>- Generating <strong>97% more </strong>inbound links than a site</p>
<p>- Getting <strong>434% more</strong> indexed pages</p>
<p>Being a business owner the main focus when having an online presence is to generate visitors. The more visitors you are able to generate it will <a title="Attraction Marketing System" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/mlm-business-training/do-you-know-the-3-major-components-for-an-attraction-marketing-system/" target="_blank">convert to leads</a> and ultimately <strong>SALES</strong>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or_website1.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8436" title="blog or website" src="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or_website1.png" alt="blog or website" width="477" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Why is it so important to generate <a title="Link Building Strategies" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/blogging-tips/10-reasons-why-some-blogs-become-more-popular-than-others/" target="_blank">inbound links</a>? This is a question that I don&#8217;t get asked to often because most business owners don&#8217;t know what is an inbound link.</p>
<p>Inbound links are import to signal the search engines the authority of a blog. It helps to get index and position within the search engines.</p>
<p>Link building is the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">number one challenge</span> for business owners.</p>
<p><strong>The reason link building is so important:</strong></p>
<p>- It will provide you with direct traffic to your blog</p>
<p>- It will help you get rank on first page of search engines for targeted keywords</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or_website2.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8440" title="blog vs website" src="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or_website2.png" alt="blog vs website" width="475" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Having pages index in the search engines gives you an advantage of being found by your clients or prospects. The more blog post you have index the more advantage you have over your <strong>competition</strong>.</p>
<p>With a website it takes a lot of <span style="text-decoration: underline;">work</span> to create a page or content versus a blog.</p>
<p><strong>Here is an example so you really understand what I mean.</strong></p>
<p>If you have a website with 10 pages. You are going to have a total of 10 indexes in the search engines. If you have a blog with the same amount of pages, plus you add 10 content post. Now, you will have 20 indexes in the search engines.</p>
<p>The beauty about blogs it is so much easier to create content within minutes so you can educate your prospects. This will allow you to dominate your competition within the search engines. In the end, translates to traffic &#8211; leads &#8211; sales.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or-website3.png"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-8445" title="blog versus website" src="http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/blog_or-website3.png" alt="blog versus website" width="474" height="300" /></a></p>

This is a very simple strategy and it allows you to dominate! <img src='http://www.joshgarcia.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<strong><br />
2. Know your keywords</strong> &#8211; Why not spy on your competitors and see what keywords they are targeting. That gives you a starting point. This is not cheating! It&#8217;s called&#8230;Competitive Market Analysis</p>
<p><strong>3. Don&#8217;t forget to use keyword phrases</strong> – Once you have a list of keywords or phrases. Narrow it down by gathering information to see how competitive the keywords are by using <a title="Keyword Tools" href="http://www.joshgarcia.com/mlm-business-training/cmon-is-keyword-research-really-a-secret-today-for-network-marketing-blogs/" target="_blank">keyword tools</a>.</p>
<p><strong>4. Study your keyword competition</strong> – By doing this task you&#8217;ll know which phrases to go after so you can rank on page 1 of Google. Don&#8217;t ignore the keywords with low competition and long tail keywords.</p>
<p><strong>5. Use your keywords in your title</strong> &#8211; Make sure you are using titles that draw attention and includes your keyword. It is a fact that the most click articles are the ones with attention getting titles.</p>
<p><strong>6. Create your masterpiece</strong> – Now is time to write your article. If you don&#8217;t feel comfortable with this task. Hire someone to do it for you. Make sure you make it sound like you are sitting down with someone and talking with them.</p>

</p><h2>Create an offline income by using your internet marketing skills</h2>
<p>Are you looking for ways to take your online expertise and create an offline income?</p>
<p>There is a huge trend going on right now&#8230; Online marketers taking their skills and earning an offline income.<br />
<span id="more-8254"></span><br />
If you are a blogger or online marketer, you can expand your business to another level by offering offline internet marketing services.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be the first to tell you that it is a lucrative business.</p>
<p>Let me share with you how you can take your blogging skills to <span style="text-decoration: underline;">make some extra money offline</span>.</p>
<p>If you know how to rank using SEO, article marketing, video marketing, link building, or just know HOW to drive traffic. You better believe that you can make money online or offline.</p>
<p>There are only a handful of individuals that are taking advantage of their skills to make money offline. A great place to start is by helping local business owners with online marketing.</p>
<p>Understand if the business owner is already spending money on offline advertisement. You can show them how to leverage off the internet and get more for what they are spending on offline advertisement.</p>
<p>Here is a prime example: Take a local restaurant. The chances of them having a blog or site is almost slim and if they do have one. I bet the traffic is not coming in like they want it too. Now you can offer to build a blog, offer content to the readers, and at the same time start building an email list. With the email list you can provide updates and promotions.</p>
<p>This is going to allow the restaurant to build traffic to their blog utilizing your online marketing skills and increase sales at the same time. This is a great example of taking online marketing and use it for an offline business.</p>
<p>Now, if you do want to take your online marketing skills to make money by helping offline businesses. It is going to require that you have great communication skills since you will be working with clients.</p>
<p>I do want you to understand this&#8230;Most businesses are spending a ton of money on old outdated advertisement and not getting much in return. By educating a business owner how online marketing works it is a no-brainer to take the business online to generate leads and sales.</p>
