Sometimes the most brilliant, black-belt in jujitsu marketing tactic you can come up with to generate more business doesn’t work out as planned.
This could be the result of poor positioning, a price point that’s off the mark, or incorrect messaging. But whatever the reason, the result is not the money-making side kick you envisioned.
Admittedly, I’ve fell victim to some of poorly executed marketing ideas myself. And sometimes–maybe because I’m a slow learner–I just can’t figure out why my great idea didn’t work.
This is the story of one such real-life strategy that failed miserably for me. But I still really, really believe someone out there could make this work, which is why I’m sharing it with you now.
My Failed Attempt to Generate Leads From Lawyers
Below is the basic premise of my failed marketing strategy along with the actual report I used to test .
Step 1: Segment Your Market
For this test, I targeted lawyers in the Fargo, ND area. I like the idea of targeting lawyers because they’re everywhere. Seriously, Google search local law firms versus Starbucks locations and you’ll see what I mean.
If you can find and apply a marketing technique that works for lawyers, you could move from city-to-city, state-to-state dominating that niche over-and-over into eternity. A great example of a company who’s doing just that right now is FindLaw.com.
Step 2: Find Lawyers In Your City or Township
There are a couple of easy ways to do this.
1.) Go old-school: Pick up a phone book to find the contact info for law firms in your area.
2.) Use Google Maps to find an abundance of lawyers and attorneys in your area. I found 325 in Fargo alone. See what I mean:
Step 3: Collect Email Addresses
Get the email address of each law firm you want to target. Most can be found in the footer or contact page of their website. Enter these into an Excel spreadsheet for improved organization and tracking.
Step 4: Create a Special PDF Report
Here’s where you really pique your market’s interest: A PDF report that exposes how other lawyers (chiropractors, doctors, tax preparers, etc.) are robbing their firm of eager clients every month through search engines like Google.
Show them monthly broad-match search volume from the Google Keyword Tool for keywords relevant to their business. In this example, stuff like “fargo lawyers” and “fargo attorneys”.
Next ask them to perform some of searches in Google so they can see first hand who’s beating them out locally.
Step 5: Open The Lines of Communication
Let your prospects know how to get in touch with you and make sure there’s a sense of urgency to the situation.
I gave the limited time for a free site analysis a try, but you will be able to come up with something better. After all, this attempt at lead gen didn’t work out for me.
You can download the “special report” I made here. Feel free to download it and tweak if you want. I converted it to Word Doc format so it would be easier to edit. (The formatting got a little messed up when I converted it back to Word, sorry about that.)
If you find a way to make this work, definitely let me know.
And with that, let me know about some of your failed attempts to develop more clients. This is a no judgment zone–at least from me anyway. I can almost guarantee I’ve had worse ideas than yours.
If you’re interested in hearing about any of these epic failures, ask away in the quotes.

In business and in life, we’re taught the importance of working hard to eliminate weakness.
Looking back to high school this principal certainly held true for me.
My short comings were always in math. As a result, I spent considerable after-school time in Mr. Chandler’s classroom straining to pinpoint the area of an acute triangle and memorizing vital quadratic equations.
The concept makes sense. By hustling to eliminate points of weakness, we become well-rounded individuals and learn the value of hard work to overcome challenges in the process.
But there’s a flaw in this guideline which becomes apparent when you commit too much time and effort to developing weak skill sets in hope of becoming average at best, when you could be refining the talents that make you truly exceptional.
Reflecting on my high school math class example, I eventually passed, but there was no chance I’d ever become the next Grigory Perelman. (I just Googled “math genius.” Grigory Perelman is the first name that came up.)
Find Your Strength.
This is the core concept behind the book Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath. Instead of concentrating our efforts on areas of weakness, areas where we will never be exceptional, building on and identifying your natural strengths is a better alternative.
Because within these pockets of natural strength are the areas you’ll have the best chance of becoming truly exceptional.
This concept holds true for SEO business ownership as well: By leveraging your own strengths and teaming up others who are strong in other areas.
A simple way I put this concept into action is by outsourcing any technical and design work. I’m not too much of a coder and it would take me way too much time to learn. Even if I did learn, I’d never be as good as someone I outsourced the work to.
In this situation, it makes sense to leverage another persons skill sets, instead of focusing on my own weakness.
As you likely suspected, identifying your natural abilities or talents is what Strength Finder 2.0 is all about.
Strength Finder 2.0 is short book. The value lies in taking a 30-minute rapid fire quiz online in which each question must be answered within 20 seconds. Rath limits the time you can answer each quiz question in order to get your “gut” response.
After completing the skill test on www.strengthsfinder.com, the website creates a list of your top 5 talents based how you answered the quiz along with some action items on leveraging existing talents.
I’m not going to get into the specifics of the research behind Strength Finder 2.0 in this article, but you you can find out more about the science of it here. Also, here’s a free strength based development pdf put out by Gallop if you want to start identifying your strengths now.
This won’t mean much if you haven’t read the book, but here are my top 5 talents according to Strength Finder 2.0:
My Talent Set:
Achiever
Competition
Futuristic
Learner
Focus
So if you’re ready to stop fighting nature and start focusing on the talents that make you truly exceptional (like me), you can pick up the book pretty cheap at Amazon. (Not an affiliate link.) There might even be a few ways to check it out for free online, not sure.
And if you’ve read Strengths Finder 2.0 by Tom Rath already, share your talent set in the comments below. I’d love to see the results others got from it.

There are three reasons I’ve decided to do a pre-launch:
1.) I want my product to solve the problems that confront SEO entrepreneurs. To ensure the Enterprise SEO Package accomplishes this goal, I’ll be making it available to just 15 people to test drive.
These 15 people will basically become business partners and will provide detailed feedback on what’s missing with the product and ways it can be improved before the official launch. If you decide to come onboard, we’ll be in close contact for the next couple months to continue developing the product.
2.)The second reason I’m doing a prelaunch is that I want real case studies and testimonials before the official launch. I’m confident the Enterprise SEO Package combined with some hard work on your end that I’ll get at least two or three stellar case studies out of the group. The Enterprise SEO Package provides the exact processes, strategies and documentation I use for my own SEO business. It’s worked for me and I’m certain it will work for you too.
3.) I want partners with skin in the game for the official Enterprise SEO Package launch. Since I’m asking you to provide detailed feedback and recommendations for design of the final product, I want to share the benefits of your hard work by making you an exclusive affiliate for the official launch in 2010. The 15 people that help test and develop the Enterprise SEO package will be made exclusive affiliates for the official launch. These select affiliates will be receive a healthy 75% commission for each sale.
To learn more about the Enterprise SEO Package, you can view the product page here. This provides all the details about the upcoming SEO business kit.
If you’re seriously interested helping create a product that delivers real value to the market and make yourself some serious cash in the process, I encourage you to order the Enterprise SEO Package Version 1.0 and become part of a tight-nit group of entrepreneurs working toward the same goal.

Last time, I talked about some ways to meet business owners face to face. It’s a great strategy that’s often overlooked in today’s Twitter-centric world.
Of course, sometimes meeting a prospect in person doesn’t make sense. Fortunately, there are some other client-building techniques you can add to your virtual client building tool belt when you’re not able to make a real-world connection.
Try email.
Dropping an email to a business owner that gets his curiosity up or opens ANY kind of communication can work.
Your response rate is likely to be lower than with a phone call. But it doesn’t take as much work either.
Attached is a template you can personalize to entice local business owners to schedule a consultation. Use this initial email to play local businesses against their competitors who already rank for valuable keywords. It works brilliantly.
Pick up the phone.
All this carry on about “I don’t want to cold call” etc etc etc.
Well, it’s time to suck it up. Business owners call other business owners all the time when they have something valuable to share.
Just remember these words: “I have my own business…”
They work like magic when you want to talk to a business owner.
Stop being a whimp and pick up the phone.
One secret…you can call some business owners after hours and leave a message that forces them to call you back out of curiosity.
Also if you’ve opened communication through email or direct mail the sooner that conversation moves to a higher level (phone conversation or face to face) the higher your chances of getting hired.
If someone emails me back and I have their phone number I’m calling them on the phone immediately.
That will convert a huge number of prospects into paying clients.
Ask Questions and Be Interested.
If you’re talking to business owners and trying to tell them about PPC, SEO, or any other service YOU WANT TO SELL THEM, then you deserve to crash and burn.
Stop thinking about yourself and get interested in them and their business.
Ask questions and then listen.
Gather information.
When you’ve built some rapport and trust you can use that information to create customized suggestions.
When the business owner gets excited about one of your suggestions you can establish the value of that idea to the owner, ask for 50% in advance to get started and run with it.
These are some of the best ways I know to sign a clients fast. But what do you think? What techniques have you applied successfully to drum up business?
admin on May 31st, 2010
As the owner of a client driven business, it’s you’re job is to meet people… particularly other business owners.
Here’s why…
Anything that puts you in contact with business owners gives you a chance of getting hired… even if you don’t pitch your services right away. An introduction today might turn into an extra income stream a few months later.
So start thinking of creative ways you can meet other business owners. After you’ve gotten to know them better, you can explain how your services might help them…. as a friend.
This is your best chance to get more business.
The next step is to go out and meet other business owners. And it’s perfectly normal to have questions when you’re getting started.
How is it done? Where do you find business owners? And what the heck do I say to them once we do meet?
How you meet each client is different. But there are some techniques that have been proven work over time. But for these techniques to work, you’ve got to be willing to try first.
1.) The easiest way to get started from zero is to talk to people and business owners you already know. Ok, this one is sort of a cop-out answer, but seriously it’s a smart place to start.
Ask everyone you talk to who they know that might benefit from your services because referrals are the easiest people to convert to paying clients.
If you take away one point from this course, it should be this: Referrals are the easiest people to convert into paying clients. Yeah, they’re really that important for your business.
Make it part of your daily mantra to systematically ask from every living breathing person you know for referrals when you’re starting out. (Trust me, it will get easier and a lot more fun after a couple paychecks.)
2.) Go to business networking meetings and any meetings and groups where business owners congregate.
Getting involved with a charity or two that has a lot of business owners can make these owners more interested in trying to help you in your business. (It might make you feel good too.)
At business networking meetings learn to ask questions and listen.
3.) Speak at as many business group events as you can.
Being the speaker for a business networking group gives you instant credibility and business owners will usually come up and talk to you even if you’ve given a mediocre presentation. I see it happen at every conference or meetup I’ve ever attended.
A smart place to start speaking publicly is the local Chamber of Commerce. Nothing but owners there. Also, try your local MeetUp.com to get comfortable speaking in front of a group.
Next email, we’ll tackle some ways you can use e-mail and the telephone to introduce potential clients to your services.
Until then, strike up some casual banter with a business owner in your area. It just might pay off for you later.

Has Tommy Griffith lost his mind? A lot of his college buddies probably thought so when he booked a ticket from New Hampshire to Japan in the thick of a recession here in the United States.
But while his old classmates were back home grinding it out for tips at the bar or hoping to land an entry-level office job, Griffith was giving presentations, coordinating with lawyers and accountants, signing deals and building a business for himself Taiwan.
Now at the ripe old age of 24, Griffith is launching his second business: a full-service digital agency called ClickShark.com.
Griffith has an incredible story about what can happen when you throw caution to the wind to get what you want.
Tell us a little background about yourself and how a kid that’s
originally from New Hampshire ended up in Taiwan?
Well, I graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2008 with a degree in Risk Management. It was really trendy and cool to go down to New York and get a job at one of the big banks or a hedge fund. I remember putting in my application for Lehman Brothers the day before they went bankrupt. Graduating with a finance-related degree at the start of the recession was hilariously bad timing.
So, rather than bartending and waiting tables in New Hampshire like so many of my friends did during the recession, I decided to move to Tokyo, Japan to teach English. My intention was to make it a hybrid of working and backpacking. Japan was awesome, really an incredible country. It’s a tough place to start your “career” that’s for sure, as I was going to probably 10 hours of classes at UConn every week, and all of a sudden was working 50-60 hours a week in Tokyo, teaching everyone from 6 year olds to 70 year olds. Some of the friends I made in Japan are just amazing, and I’ll definitely be in touch with them for the rest of my life. Japanese people have a kindness to them that you won’t find anywhere else in the world. And Tokyo, you really have to see it to believe it. Absolutely incredible.
A good friend of mine from high school, Donny Gilliland, came out to visit me during his Christmas break, and we decided to backpack around Asia for 2 weeks. In planning our trip, we were trying to find the cheapest flight from Tokyo to Bangkok, and it so happened to include a layover in Taipei, Taiwan. I had no idea where Taiwan was, and I thought it was part of China, but I was down to check it out. When we landed, I was extremely impressed. The people were so friendly, the city was very busy and exciting, and everyone spoke English quite well. It was a much cooler, vibrant and exciting than I had anticipated.
So Donny and I had decided that Taiwan was supremely underrated, and we wanted to start a business there. We were trying to think up ways to profitably let the world know Taiwan exists, and came across medical tourism, the idea of leaving the country and traveling abroad for lower cost surgery. It’s very successful in Thailand, India, and Singapore, and other Southeast Asian countries are getting on the bandwagon as well.
So I quit my job in Japan, and moved to Taiwan, where we started FormosaMedicalTravel.com, Taiwan’s first medical tourism agency. It was an incredible experience, from incorporating in Taiwan, to creating our business processes, developing our website, giving presentations, signing contracts with hospitals, finding accountants and lawyers, negotiating through translators, and marketing in two languages, it really was my alternative to paying for an MBA.
When we took a look at the medical tourism market, we decided that it existed primarily online. There weren’t agencies with big corporate headquarters in New York and LA, or people setting up satellite offices everywhere. All a company really had to show for themselves was their website. So the premise was that we were going to create a web startup that worked in facilitating Americans travelling abroad to Taiwan for surgery, and our marketing focus was solely online. This was my first professional look into the world of SEO.
I recently left FormosaMedicalTravel.com, and I’m happy to say that they’re growing rapidly. I’ve since moved to Singapore a few months ago, where I’ve started an energetic new digital agency, ClickShark.com.
So you moved to Taiwan to start a business. Were there any unique challenges that went along with starting a business in another country?
Tons of unique challenges! Taipei, the capital city, is quite developed. Lots of young people speak English, and they are a little more internationally minded than the rest of the country. However, when you go farther south, and into the more remote areas of the island, you’ll find communication a bit more difficult. In Taiwan, you have what they call 關係, or “Guanxi”. It roughly translates to “relationships”. At a party at UConn, this would translate to “Who do you know here, bro?”
It was very difficult at first to gain any traction, but once we met a few key people in the business and government space, it opened up a lot of doors. Contracts that had previously taken months to sign, took weeks. Meetings that were taking us weeks to book, took days. Once you’re a friend of a friend in Taiwan, things get a lot easier. Networking is important in any country, but in Asia it’s everything.
Now that you’ve been living abroad a few years and have left your previous business, what made you decide an SEO business was the right next step?
The short answer: Digital marketing is where it’s at, and it’s not going away anytime soon. I’m 24, and my family got our first computer when I was in 3rd grade (shoutout to AOL Kidspace!), so for me this industry is a no-brainer. For older generations, it might be tougher to see this coming, but everyone my age knows that the first page of results on Google for any term is going to be the “right answer” for that term. “Cheap Car Wash Portland Oregon”, “Best Hotel Budapest Hungary” – what Google says (ok fine, Yahoo and Bing too) is going to dictate a larger and larger portion of where dollars go. Additionally, I’m very good at it, I keep my ear to the ground and most importantly, I really enjoy it.
What advice do you have for anyone who’s considering starting a
business abroad? Would you recommend it to others looking back on what
you know now?
Yes, I would absolutely recommend it. In fact, I can’t recommend it enough. As a person born in an English speaking western country, you have no idea how blessed you actually are. This is our time! People all over the world are taking English classes, applying for visas, and learning about how western culture works. They’re doing the hard work, all you have to do is show up!
Here in Singapore, they call it an “international” business environment, but really it’s just everyone conforming to western standards. If you haven’t left the country yet, you are absolutely wasting this opportunity to go abroad. With an American/Canadian/British passport, English as a first language, and your cultural upbringing, you don’t even realize how many doors have already been opened for you.
As for advice, there is only one piece of wisdom I can give that will create any traction if you’re going to start this journey: buy the plane ticket. Don’t make a business plan, don’t “save a little more money”, don’t wait for your 2 year lease to run out, don’t wait for the recession to end, just buy your one way ticket. It’s going to be messy, you’re going to make mistakes, things will go awry, but just get out there and do it. Even if you don’t have an idea yet, even if you don’t have a clue. Personally, I take a very “American cowboy” attitude towards my life and my business. I just pull the trigger. Just show up! Pack your bags, buy the one way ticket, and get out there! You’re going to live, stop worrying about that! Go! Right now! Kayak.com! Maybe get drunk first and do it, I don’t care! Hurry!
Anything else we should know? Where can people learn more about you?
I love meeting cool people with cool ideas. I’m on Facebook (send me a message don’t just add me) at Facebook.com/TomGriffith or visit us at ClickShark.com

I admit it. I’ve got a pro membership to SEOMoz that I use to check backlinks, monitor client’s rankings and what not. There are a lot of cool tools available for generating client reports, which is why I continue to give them $129 every month.
But sometimes, I wonder if I really need it. Especially when so many similar SEO tools are available for free at MetaFever.com.
So this week I decided to conduct a little test. Could I really create a professional client report using only free tools? I was about to find out.
Anatomy of an SEO Report
My goal was to create a simple client analysis report. This is the first report sent to a potential client by most SEO companies to peak a prospect’s interested in optimization.
Since this report is created for prospects. I want it to be quick and easy to put together. No use wasting time on people who might never pay for your services.
Here’s what my (quick) client analysis report needs:
1.) On-Page SEO Analysis
2.) Off-Page SEO Analysis (AKA: Backlinks)
3.)Competitive Landscape Analysis
4.)Rank Checker
1.) Conducting the on-page SEO analysis is ridiculously easy on MetaFever.com. The Free SEO Report feature is the most comprehensive, all-purpose tool I’ve seen for a website analysis anywhere.
The Free SEO Report evaluates a lot more than just H1 and title tags. It dissects robots.txt files, page links, total page size, and XML sitemaps with the click of a button.
You could run this report and hand it straight over to SEO prospects if there were an easy way to download the information. Until then, you’ll need to rely on copy and pasting the information or taking screen shots. Still even with this inconvenience, this tool finds plenty of ways to save you time.
2.) Off-page SEO analysis: The off-page SEO analysis tool, called the Backlink Checker at MetaFever.com, uses Yahoo’s link data and displays the total number of links pointing to a domain. You can easily copy and paste this data into any type of report you like.
Pro Tip: Use the Backlink Checker to analyze some of your client’s competitors backlinks. Identifying competitors with better rankings and more links can help you explain where the prospect is weak online.
3.) Competitive Landscape Analysis: Anytime you’re creating a client report, pit your prospects against their competition. If a potential client feels like they’re losing customers to a rival, they’re a lot more likely to use your service. MetaFever.com’s Multiple Compete Rank Checker lets you do just that. This tool uses data from Compete.com’s rank.
4.) Rank Checker: No SEO report would be complete without a good old fashioned ranking report—or Search Engine Position Checker as it is referred to here. Just enter the domain, the keywords you want to check, and viola, updated rankings for Google and Yahoo are presented. I’ve found that SERP rankings can be easily copied and pasted into an Excel spreadsheet or Word document. Nice!
At the end of the day, I’m impressed with MetaFever.com’s enormous selection of free tools: backlink checkers, ranking report, and crawl tests all in one place and for a price you can’t beat.
I’ll admit, transferring data from the Free SEO Report tool to a Word doc was difficult. But it is possible to provide clients with professional reports from a single source.
Is it a replacement for SEOMoz? Unfortunately, I don’t think I’ll be canceling my $129 a month subscription any time soon. But for a quick and easy analysis of a client’s website, MetaFever.com goes above and beyond what you’d expect from a free site.

The traditional agency is almost dead as a new pay-per performance SEO business model has begun to gain favor among SEOs and clients alike.
Be one of the first to embrace this model and you can offer guaranteed results, charge only per performance, and remove the barrier of an initial client investment that can discourage customers reluctant to hand over a paycheck for unknown results.
The beauty of this SEO business model is that the client can finally pay based on clicks; The same way they pay for PPC. In fact, you’ll use that same simple logic to sell your service.
Stop Getting Paid For Work. Start Getting Paid Per Click.
A lot of companies get stuck in the rut of delivering a certain amount of work on a client’s website per month. i.e. Twenty five links, two new blog posts, 50 meta descriptions.
Common sense says the more work you do the better a site will perform. While the more sweat equity you put into a website the better it will perform (usually), this is a killer for stretched SEO companies with small staffs. Especially when there’s 1,000 other SEO companies willing to do more work for less money.
How to flip the old SEO business model on its head and get ahead of the curve.
The old SEO business model says you get a client, give services, and get paid a (hopefully) generous monthly fee.
- In the new model, you’re paid-per click just like Google. No setup fees, no charges until your client gets the traffic. Don’t set up any unnecessary barriers between yourself and the client before getting started.
- Get it in writing: In your contract, identify what you will be paid per click for organic search traffic. Charging just a 10th of a cent per click can generate enormous profits if search volume is decent in the client’s industry. You can’t buy traffic from Google for that price, which is very appealing for clients. Just make sure the client is contractually obligated to remove the your pages if the business relationship is terminated. When the website starts capturing a high-volume of traffic, this makes it very difficult for a client to leave you… ever.
- Require site wide links on the client’s website to your new seo pages. These links could be placed in the footer or in the main navigation site wide. This will allow you to leverage the Page Rank of the clients existing website so your pages get indexed and ranked faster.
- Set up a new sub domain or folder structure where you’re new optimized and keyword targeted pages will live. For example, yourseopages.clientwebsite.com or clientwebsite.com/yourseopages/XXX (Don’t name these directories and folders Your SEO pages obviously.)
- Segment Traffic: Use Google Analytics to segment organic search traffic that landed on your new pages. Since theses pages are capturing traffic that previously would have been missed, you’ll get paid per click for each new visitor. (You shouldn’t charge for any of your client’s brand related searches that arrive on your pages.)
This model is simple but it works. Best of all, you can finally guarantee results and differentiate yourself from all the other SEO agency’s.
So let me know what you think of this business model the comments: Does it have legs? Or am I just full of crap?

A link packet is a step-by-step plan for building backlinks.
The cool thing about link packets is that they’re really specific. As opposed to the typical generalized link building advice you might get from a forum or blog post: “Hey, submit to a bunch of directories.” or “Make sure to comment on do-follow blogs.”
Stuff like that can help. But it’s usually easier to have a clear plan of action. Especially when you’re just getting started.
That’s where link packets can help.
There are a lot of people that actually sell these link plans online. You can check out a popular service called Paul and Angela’s Backlink Service here. (Not an affiliate link.) For a packet on how to acquire 30 backlinks, they charge $57.
But if spending money for stuff online isn’t your thing, or if you’ve already exceeded your yearly budget for info products, feel free to take advantage of this Freemium link packet for yourself…. or better yet, hand it over to a virtual assistant and have them build backlinks for your clients.
No cost. No email address to hand over. Just pure, link juicy goodness.
This packet breaks link building into a 6-day process so you don’t worry about burn out. Finish each step and you’ll have fresh links from blogs, directories, and social media sites by the end of the week.
This will crush the time you’d typically spend lurking for high-authority links.
