One good online business idea for those who don’t have a physical product to sell but have substantial knowledge of internet marketing (or are willing to learn about this) is to make use of this knowledge by selling services to local businesses. Many business owners have now become aware of the fact that it’s not enough that you make a website for your business. It’s also about the traffic that your site gets and more importantly, converting the visits to actual business opportunities.
The problem for many small businessmen is that they don’t know the first thing about optimizing their websites. This is where your “expertise” of Search Engine Optimization (SEO) comes in. If you think that offering your services to local businesses or other websites could work for you, some basic SEO skills that you would need to work on are:
• Creating Content – Continually updating site with SEO-friendly articles;
• Linkbuilding – Creating links to the website through social networks, bookmarking, and article directories;
• Copywriting and Press Releases – Promoting the site through news articles and sales pitches.
