The truth is 'Offline marketing' is no different to small / local business consulting. IMers seem to have taken it to mean it MUST involve the internet and that's a big mistake
I worl with local businesses on a variety of business development areas and so can charge much more than the $250-$1000 peanuts that everyone charges for SEO and other basic services...plus, there is no competition either
SEO and first page of Google may make us salivate as IMers but we tend to lose sight of what small businesses really want and its to gow their business into a profitable one, internet or no internet
Thelist above could apply to anyone who wants to work with a business and not ony the 'offline' thing, so think 'business' instead of 'offline'
