Sure Path to Sucess

One of the best ways to insure your success when working in a service business it to under promise and over deliver.  This is what we are doing for clients of our Craigslist service.  We are taking content that we are publishing for them on craigslist.org and using it to pump feeder sites.  A good example of this is what we did to help clients sell used cars in Savannah.

While this may have little if any automotive seo value it is a great way for us to test some of our theories.  This will give us the opportunity to monetize any traffic these sites gain and to see how well they index.  It will provide a great case study in automotive marketing if it works.  It is unfortunate that many dealers do not realize the true value of efforts like this.

If you have been stuck in a rut trying to promote other peoples programs and not making any money you may want to look into setting up your own service based business.  It is the best thing I have ever done.

You Don't Need Downlines to Make Money

I have build a company that provides marketing services to car dealers, one thing that I can say from my past experience in using downline programs is that it did teach me a work ethic that transferred well.  When people work to build downlines in different programs many times they are on their own in their efforts so you do need the work ethic of being independently responsible for your efforts to stay productive.  I transferred what I learned during that period to build a successful online business.

Some of the things we have done to help support dealers is create a network of blogs that pushes links back to their main sites.  A good example of this is Automotive Nexus and Texas Direct Auto, which pulls content and listing in from a multitude of sources.  The good thing is these sources cover their own cost without support from the client.

The time an energy needed to create these properties is far less frustrating than trying to get downline members to follow a system.  Then you can afford to hire writers like we have for Domestic Auto Report.  That is where the fun really starts.
