Main Street Marketing Machines versus Local Business Money Machine

Main Street Marketing Machines is launching at 12pm PST on April 26th.

Lately you may have heard about Mike Koenigs Main Street Marketing Machines, if not visit his site with this link. This is a product aimed at turning someone who has some knowledge about internet marketing into an expert marketer. Armed with this knowledge they provide marketing services to small businesses.

This is much the same as an earlier product from Kevin Wilke of Nitro Marketing. His program was Local Business Money Machine. I actually purchased this product however it did not give me what I wanted. It was a comprehensive program however did not give me enough confidence to go out to businesses, especially here in Australia.

What was missing from the Local Business Money Machine course was the actual hands on items such as templates to use for customers to create sites and other promotional methods. Also finding clients was not something I had confidence in doing based on what was in the course.

I was also concerned that the Local Business Money Machine product was too US centric. I felt my needs as an Australian were not catered for.

Now looking at what I have seen so far of Mike Koenigs Main Street Marketing Machines product he addressed my main concern in the latest video, “Will it work for someone not in the US?” He said an absolute yes. In some situation it might be even easier to do well with the system when applied outside of the USA.

Also as part of the system are templates galore for setting up sites or creating videos to use in promotions. Biz box pre-made templates makes it so you can concentrate on Marketing you clients businesses rather than worrying about writing articles, setting up sites and other tasks normally required to get things done.

What I also like about Mike’s product is that it uses Mobile Marketing methods. This, if you don’t note its significant s is huge. Using mobile marketing you can offer your client the way to send out messages that say “quiet Tuesday discount available”. If done right this can potentially turn a lousy day into a great one for a small restaurant.

I have to say this product has got me excited. In the past internet products have focused on creating lists, creating your own products or tricking the search engines.

Mike’s product will help you market for real businesses. There are millions out there. Most are so busy just running the business that they don’t know about efficient marketing or even any marketing at all.

The Main Street Marketing Machines system has everything ready to go…

Check it out.

Mike says the system will cost $2,997.00 with a single payment or you can take a six payment option of $547.00. There is a 30 day money back guarantee.

If you think this is a lot of money just think that you could get that much for landing just your first client. Fireman Mike made $5000 but I can’t tell you how much you will make. It is possible that you get this system and make no money at all.

Beautiful Autumn Day in Gungahlin

Today was one of those days you feel glad your alive. To start with it was a Monday and I did not have to go into work, at least not the office job with the everyday certainty of a salary.

It was a sensational autumn day in Canberra. Sunny, a slight chill in the air and no wind. Off I went with my german shepherd puppy, Lulu. We went running for 40 minutes, at least walking and running.

Later I grabbed my bike and went for a ride, once again it was so good to be out and about. I combined the ride with a bit of work. I was taking photos for my gungahlinbusinessdirectory.com.au website that I have established recently.

Gungahlin – Local Business Helper – IndieGoGo

I have created a pitch video for my project at IndieGoGo.com/local-business-helper. It is below so you can check it out.

The project is something to hold me accountable. I want to help others and make a difference. Sure you could say I am just wanting to get setup with a nice video editing studio but the main thing is I want to have something to push me to achieve.

This all came about thanks to Tellman Knudson and his information about crowd funding. It got me inspired to attempt to help out others through this model.

So far I have managed to get the pitch post using demo software but I can only do that for so long… Tying this to a project using the crowd funding makes sure that if there are enough good people out there to support me I will have to follow through and live up to what I am promising in the video.

Any money towards the project would be gratefully accepted.

Local Business Helper Project

Today is an exciting day. I have submitted my project at http://www.indiegogo.com/RobertKeating

The aim of the project is to help local businesses in Gungahlin stay afloat. I will help with video marketing for one business every two weeks free of charge.

Check out the project called “Local Business Helper“. It would be great if you can get involved.

One of the VIP levels receives recipes from my wife. I have to let you know she is a great cook so that alone is something to be excited about. I might even make a DVD and include her actually demonstrating the recipes.

If you make a pledge you can also get a .mobi site setup which I will host, or the next level up is a .mobi site and a 30-90 second video of your choosing.

I have registered gungahlinbusinessdirectory.com.au which will be used as part of this project.

Is iAds the Next Big Thing for Apple?

Something Big is coming soon.

What could it be? It is something that could be bigger than iPhone, iPod, iTunes, iPad or for that matter Google Mobile Ad initiatives?

It is iADS

Word is going around that in just ONE week a big announcement will rock the advertising world. As Apple’s chief, Steve Jobs describes it the expected big ass advertising platform will be “revolutionary” and “our next big thing.”

What will Apple put out there? No one on the outside knows for sure, but Mobile strategist Dan Hollings suggests it may have “hypertargeting capability that would enable advertisers to target ads to consumers based on their geographic proximity, paving the way for a new generation of location-based advertising.”

Yes, Apple’s iAd Could Bite a Chunk Out of Google’s Mobile Ad Business… in fact, just within the last week, Steve Jobs, Apple CEO and Erich Schmidt, Google CEO, were seen having a friendly talk over coffee.

Here’s the bottom line… something is brewing. Something BIG. It’s Mobile. It’s Local. It’s ADs. It’s Marketing. It’s happen right under your nose.

Are you in a position to be able to grasp this and move fast to take advantage?

StomperMobile will have an intense focus on these developments (as they happen) and all members will get the details, the buzz and more importantly, the STRATEGIES that will make you a leader in Mobile Marketing.

A lot of people out there know mobile is going to be big, or is it that mobile is already big and we just don’t know it?

Almost everything about Mobile is compelling, yet still, many are pushing it aside because other “things” seem more front-burner right now. Dan Hollings calls it the “Mirage effect,” whereby nothing can divert their path, they see an oasis ahead, and real or not… they are so busy chasing the Mirage, it takes something significant to catch their attention.

If you want to get ahead of the wave you need access to an expert in the Mobile Marketing arena. Dan Hollings is that man. It just so happens that Dan has just started teaching all he knows about mobile marketing.

Are you ready to jump on board? Are you in a position to hit the ground running once iAds is reality?

Have a look at this page which talks about StomperMobile and see what you think.

See you on the inside.
