While local businesses love the idea of getting massive exposure on the Internet you need to create a service to offer them that truly provides value to their lives and their business. For example, if you doing a “Whos Talking About You” online service using Google Alerts & Twitter then you want to create a separate email account of those notifications to be sent to them compose them in an email template once a day and send that off to your client. This will make things look WAY more professional and give your work that WOW factor which keeps your clients begging for you business again and again.

Social Media Tip #2

Set up a membership program. Instead of just selling this type of service for a one time commission make it a monthly continuity program. I would recommend charging between $100 to $200 per month for this type of service.

Social Media Tip #3

Build long term relationships with your clients. Show them that you in this business for the long haul. That you growing and developing your knowledge of the marketplace and that you want to serve them cutting edge information to years to come. Do this and you’ll profit day in and day out. People want to know that you’re a real person and that you are truly here to help them.

Matthew - This is a great idea to add as a value added service for local businesses. You could assemble a suite of such services and create a "continuity program" for local business to outsource this marketing at a fraction of what they are probably already spending for marketing. Thanks for the thoughts. Chip
