This is it

Okay maybe not the most normal title for a post however today and the events surrounding it have lead me up to say:"This is it"   Wondering what the Hell I am talking about aren't you....

Well the reason that I say this is it is because....

I have been going crazy trying to figure out how on earth to start getting a few more customer's to my offline business and whilst I was thinking about how I could get some extra business I decided to use a mixture of offline and online tactics to help get the ball rolling.

First I built a silly little blog for my offline business and then I let it sit there for awhile without doing anything to it. I did that to test a few things out online.

Next I added the site to google Maps to see what happened there.

Then I took the stats from the blog and added them to a flyer that I could circulate to the general public and this is where the light bulb went off in my head.

You see, everything in my world is based on stats. I don't care what you say you can or cannot do. I care about showing me how you did it, what you did to get there and then prove to me that you have done this. To that end I am now looking at hiring a consultant to help me get more local business. The person had better be "hungry" because for the first two months this job will be commission based ONLY.

That goes back to my stats:

Show me how and then prove it by getting me some extra customers and believe me your commission will turn into a nice little paycheck, which will envy your friends since here in Timmins, well....with the local mine closing jobs are gonna be real friggin hard to come by. So......the person makes me happy then they will realize very quickly how much I appreciate their hard work with cold hard cash.

That's all any employee wants is good money for a job well done.

People who work for me are generously rewarded.

By adding stats from a blog or website they now have some type of proof that the business is real and is taken very seriously because I have real employee's, I have a real online presence and I have real stats to prove that we do get traffic and we do get customer requests from all over Northern Ontario. The only issue with that however is my offline business is local only for now...I simply don't have the time or resources to go and help folks several hours away (yet)...but I am slowly working on that.

I am all about making money, who isn't right?

• I need to make sure my family is well taken care of.
• I need to prove to the doubters that this can be done.
• I need to show other's that mixing online and offline tactics will most certainly help any business succeed.
• I need to start charging for my advice lol...I would only charge money to none blogger's hehe...we blogger's are a community within a community so I would barter my services rather than charge for them...online I find that the barter system works wonders....

Hey, wait a minute...another lightbulb....barter for services online as well....
Have a great day everyone!
