Main Street Marketing Machines for Plug and Plan Offline Marketing

0 comments

Working with offline marketing Main Street Marketing MachineYou'd probably wouldn't be surprised to hear that people use Xsitepro for many different reasons. I spend much of my time in the internet marketing niche, graphics niche and offline marketing niche and I'm always surprised to see innovative uses of Xsitepro.

The key to this diversity is the use of templates and I'm in the process of creating an advanced template that can be used for any niche with just a few tweaks... I'm making the videos now and will be sending an email out to my list as soon as its available.

Here's a sample of one of the template configurations.

Still testing but click here to see the basic template

Let me change gears and talk about making money online using your website....whether for an offline business or online business.

It's a difficult task to make a living online, it's even more difficult to have a brick and mortar store and create a website that brings you leads and sales. I don't think it ever was easy, however, today's economy makes the task even more difficult.

Your inbox is probably filled on a daily basis with offers for one money making product after another. All promising to make money. They might work to some degree....but never as easy as it might portray.

We live in a unique period of internet history. Today, April 2010, offers you an opportunity that won't last forever. I'm trying not to sound too hypey....I hate that tactic, but what I'm about to show you will make a difference in your life and those you do business with.

I love this saying:

"Help enough other people get what they want from life and you'll get everything you want and more" Zig Ziglar.....a very true saying.

Offline Marketing provides an opportunity for you to help others. A number of systems have been developed but none can compare to what I'm about to show you.

First...very very few people can go out and make money on their own. If you have a system to follow, building a successful business becomes much easier. Think of things like franchises.

Well...the folks at Traffic Geyser have been experimenting with their system of video, article, podcast ..ect. submissions and combining them with keywords for local businesses. Their desire was to create a system that would get local businesses top position on Google and the other search engines. For instance a painter in Chicago would want love to have "Chicago House Painter" turn with his website on position 1 of Google.

That's exactly what they've been able to achieve. A system for ranking local businesses for their keywords to bring them leads and sales.

How can this benefit you? Actually...a couple of ways.

This system is called Main Street Marketing Machines

If you own your own brick and mortar business you can use it simply for yourself and get your business ranked for a variety of keywords that will bring you either leads or sales or both. Unlike purchasing a yellow page ad, this is an investment in a system that costs less than yellow page advertising and will last the lifetime of your business.

Main Street Marketing MachinesThe other option

This system really will shine if you've been part of the internet marketing community and trying to make money online. This system takes what you've learned and you can apply it to any local business with excellent results. Meaning, they will be ranked on the first page of Google.

This system of offline marketing to local businesses can become your business. Their method of promotion and development will bring clients running to you and your business can be as large as you are able to imagine.

The key to the success of Main Street Marketing Machines is that it works!

Fill in the form and watch the videos, you'll get everything you need to make an intelligent decision about this.

By the way, even if you are a complete newbie....this system will allow you to set up your own offline marketing business. With so many people looking either for a new job, replace their job or just looking for some extra income....this is a business opportunity you will want to at least look at.

Wishing you much success!

Local Business Directory with Xsitepro

1 comments
Xsitepro is the perfect website development software to use when developing a Local Business Directory. Portal sites for local businesses are rapidly becoming popular but they either look like a first grader put it together or it's a very complicated wordpress or joomla template.


Xsitepro with it's template driven websites makes it really easy to build and maintain a local business directory like this one: Mchenry Local Business Directory.

I've been working on this xsitepro local business template for offline marketing and it's almost done, you can find further information and sign up for a notification list with discount at Xsitepro Local Business Directory.

've been working on a Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template that is a little more complex than the standard Xsitepro Template.

This template is designed to be used by the offline marketer to go from city to city or town to town with the intent of advertising and marketing local business operations....driving traffic to their websites, advertising their business through appropiate keywords and marketing their businesses by offering list building through optin forms.

The Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template is designed to provide a multitude of monetization models. Across the top are 3 ads with images. These appear on each page and can be sold for $100 plus per month. The ads can be stationary or rotating.

Below the 3 ads across the top is a xsitepro's dynamic menu. I'm working out a few kinks but it should serve perfectly as an easy method of navigation.

The main panel is configured with a premium advertising space. The premium ad could start at $200 plus a month, of course it depends on the traffic you're getting. The space would feature an image along with an advertising message which would contain a link back to the advertiser's site.

I haven't really developed the left navigation colum yet. I'm not sure I like the scrap paper look....but we'll have to see how it works out. The nav colum could feature more ads or banner space to advertise along with providing some standard nav links. A rotating banner space could work out well....something like special of the day or week. Again, this feature would be sold as an add on.

I think one of the most interesting features is the premium advertising page here's an example xxxxxxxxxx. Many small businesses don't have a web presence, they do not have any type of web page and the thought of getting online scares the crap out of them. The Premium Advertising Page is basically a single one page website they can have. It includes their basica information along with an advertising message and a few images. Most importantly this page can be used to get them on Google Local. I have a few things to do on this page yet, but take a look and see how you might use this page.

There's more but this will give you an idea of what Xsitepro Offline Marketing Template will offer. All pages will come with basic templates that you simply copy and paste. Of course Xsitepro's full compliment of features will be able to be used on the entire site. This will give you, the offline marketer, tremendous flexibility and power.

I have to say the income potential with this type of template is unlimited. You are limited only to your imagination and ambition. You won't get rich over night sending out a few emails....but if you approach this as a real business, get on the phone, knock on doors and figure out how to set up a local business directory in your own neighborhood, town or city.....you can then take this worldwide.
