Hi Don,

Thanks for sharing that business idea... Definitely a "product" many people will pay for (and benefit from too). It's getting harder (so I'm told) to get high rankings on "G" - so if you can do it (like by using this method), that's a valuable thing!

By the way, I've been helping some small business owners in the "real world" - and one thing that amazes me is how many of them DON'T know the basics of marketing, believe it or not. Many of them need all the help they can get...

Sometimes, hanging out in places like this forum, you forget how many small businesses in the "real world" don't know much about how to market their business. They depend on "foot traffic" - and that's about it! They have a dream - open their doors - and then struggle...

(I've helped some small businesses with their websites, copywriting, publicity by writing media releases which have gotten them positive coverage in the newspapers, email marketing to their customer list... Which have all resulted in measurably more sales and real $$$, and in one case helped to "save" the business from going under and turn it around. And the deeper I get into this, the more I realize how much I can really do to help these small businesses get more customers... Sowpub has been a great "learning place" for all this!)

Thanks again, Don! I've learned a ton from your posts...!

Best wishes,

Dien
