When I meet with local business owners for the first
time, the first question I alway's ask is "Are you
currently advertising in any or all of these? (yellow
pages, newspapers,magazines etc)

The second question I then ask "are you sure that this
advertising is working?

And then I get the what I call the TROUT LOOK.I know
it's goofy but I'm Canadian and it's fishing season.

Unreal but true. Around 95% of local business owners I
meet with have no idea whether or not their advertising
is working.

So why do they do it?

I ask them and I get the same answer again and again.
“I advertise in the Yellow Pages because all my
competitors advertise there.”

Let's be honest here, these hard working local business
owners (many are friends and family) are being RIPPED
OFF by an advertising industry that makes a fortune by
convincing local business owners to buy advertising
that will NEVER and I mean NEVER work.

They hire, train and deploy a bunch of slick salespeople
or highly scripted telemarketing staff that get local
business owners to part with their hard eaned cash by
using scare tactics like your competitors are there or
by playing the RATE card game of well I'll give a huge
discount off our published rates.

It may be legal but in my mind it certainly is not
ethical.

Just because your competitor is advertising there it
does not mean it's working and I assure you from our
research that it's probably not.

AND

50% OFF something that does not work means nothing
whether you paid $3000 or the huge discount rate of
$1500.If I sell you a used car for 50% OFF and it does
not get you from point A to point B will you call me
up and thank me that you didn't pay full price or would
you rip my head off?

Listen I'm not saying there is anything wrong with
advertising.Done properly with the video marketing
strategies, systems and tools we use here at
LocalAdPower.com I can GUARANTEE you will get a great
ROI on your investment and not only will you see results
you'll actually be able to measure your advertising spend.

So the next time your Yellow Page or any ad rep walks
into your local business make it clear  that you have no
interest in what your competitor is doing or how mush of a
discount your getting if you sign up today and that You
will only ever pay for results –and that’s what determines
what you are willing to spend.

Dear Subscribers,

I've met many people who thought they wanted to
build an online business, but found there was just
too much to handle by themselves to make it work.

But this doesn't mean you can't make a living using
what you already know about Internet marketing.

Because there is a much EASIER way.

You can make a good extra income, or replace your
full-time income if you want to... by helping small
businesses leverage the Internet.

And it can work for you...

- No matter where you live, US or International...

- Anywhere there are small businesses...

- Doing it part-time or full-time...

- Without a web site...

- Without a list...

- And without having to manage employees.

You can even use this proven system to boost YOUR
own business if you want to, whether it's online or
"brick and mortar."

http://www.mainstreetmarketingmachines.com/getit/cmd.php?af=33413

You'll get all of the tools, support and education
you need... so you can profit from small businesses
who haven't established themselves online.

With all of the buzz going on about Main Street
Marketing, I don't expect this to be available for
very long.

So take a few minutes now, and see if this could
be your ticket to making some extra income, with
the online marketing knowledge you already have...

I hear that complaint a lot from newbies AND so-called veterans who still can't make money online.

Before you read this, I have to warn you that it will make some sensitive people upset…
It’s no wonder, though. The news is blaring about the economy and how terrible things are for
business. It’s got lots of entrepreneurs running scared.

And that’s not just for us internet marketers – it goes DOUBLE for Mom-and-Pop, Brick-and-
Mortar stores like the ones in YOUR hometown.

What if I told you there’s a way you can take what you ALREADY KNOW about marketing
online and TEAM UP with the BEST businesses in your area to make MORE money…

More money than EITHER of you could make alone…

And you actually do it by HELPING people, not SELLING them!

It’s true!  http://www.mainstreetmarketingmachines.com/cmd.php?af=33413

Listen, you may have heard about similar “Offline” money-making schemes before, but this is
drastically different.

No need to become an uber-expert guru to land clients…

No need to hire a designer – a programmer – a secretary – a sales staff… Because…
Well, look – you might not believe me unless you saw it yourself. I watched it twice just to make
sure.
