I know this is an old thread; but my 2 cents worth on selling SEO - ALWAYS offer the client two pricing options. It changes the decision from 'should we do it' to 'how should we do it'.
The options may be;
Option 1 - $300 payable now, with a money back guarantee if we don't rank in 60 days
Option 2 - $500 payable AFTER we rank you, with NO MONEY DOWN. "Just sign here, and we start work now, Mr Local Business".
Yes, you'll get some non-payers, you'll get some slow payers, and you'll get some idiots. But at a >70% premium price to your regular price, you can absorb a few of those, especially considering the outlay is so low.

"Once you have selected a category, head over to Google Adwords Keyword tool and check the traffic that the term ?[category] in [city name]? gets. For example, if you are targeting dentists in city1, check the traffic that ?dentists in city1? gets.
If the term gets over 200 searches per month, it is worth pursuing. This number might seem low but bear in mind that, for an offline business, even a single new client could be worth several hundred dollars. A single client could potentially recoup the investment that they would have to make in your service."
Could you please explain this more detailed? What do you mean by head over to google adwords keyworld tool? And how do you find out if he gets over 200 searches?
Thanks.

First, please change your text color from blue to... anything easier to read against a black background.
Google Keyword Planner has replaced the Adwords Keyword Tool. Google that (or better yet, here) and either figure it out on your own through experimentation (should take much - it's pretty straight forward) or peep one of the various guides on the internet... YouTube, even. That'll give you good visual instruction.
Your final question will be answered if you do what I suggested

i found a business niche that deals in the millions per day, has huge room for growth, and there are 10000 businesses of the same type within 2 miles.

I am completely new to marketing. I am very interested in this method, can someone please help me out with step 6? I didn't know what link building is, so I googled, and I have a vague idea of what it is. I don't know what the OP means by creating an article or press release, or the methods in scrape box.

Sounds like you need to really study up on SEO and IM in general.
Here are some links to help you out a bit:
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...ch-engine-optimization-practices-newbies.html
http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackhat-seo/white-hat-seo/301187-complete-guide-starting-website.html
To answer your vocabulary questions, an article is what you probably suspect it is - a bunch of words on any given subject, much like an article you might read in the newspaper but obviously in this case used for the purpose of posting online, typically on a website you own and will use to build a contextual link (now I'm getting a bit presumptuous...).
A press release is essentially sending that article out to some source and they publish it on their platform, whatever that may be. That's a little vague, I know...
Here's another link to an articleyou should read to gain a better understanding of this whole crazy system: http://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-seo/growing-popularity-and-links

Okay, I have read the links given, but my question is (because I found this thread from the blackhat section), would there be any penalty for these tactics? Can the business you are trying to rank on the first page, get black listed for any misteps? and how to avoid it if possible?

Yeah typically you should use 'whitehat' tactics when working with an offline business, but there are ways around it. If you're going to do blackhat stuff, make it clear to your client that that's what's happening. There's a good thread on churn-and-burn offline client websites but I won't be able to find it.
You'd be best off sticking with whitehat tactics (though the great boomboomer may disagree with me on this one - I'd like to hear if he has anything different to say).

Exactly this! I'd be very concerned if i were to use a black hat method to blast a site to the top of G just to watch them fall into oblivion shortly there after. This does not seem to be a very good business model especially if done locally! If one were to use only white hat solutions or grey hat without consequence, how long of a time period should be given to the client (i know it depends, just a ball park of 1 or 3 months will do). Also, can anyone suggest quicker methods to rank a site without getting penalized? Would the best option by tiered link building, silo, or minding over optimization? I'm still a noob and plan on testing on my own sites first but answers to these questions would be a big help

okay but if we set up an agreement with the client that i am responsible for only getting them to the first page with no duration, then we are okay right? also, if i use fiverr to outsource the article submission and link building, is that blackhat? cause if it's not, then the only problem would be the duration problem right?
also, could whit hat strategies be outsourced?

I completely agree with this as far as promoting offline businesses is concerned. The last thing you want is a website owner disavowing links on his own and putting in a complaint that your company did the black hat link building!
Once you have ranked a couple of local business websites, you'll get a general idea of the time you are likely to require to rank future websites.
There aren't too many quick ways to rank which aren't black hat but if you have a local business directory or association, you could put in a request with them to list your client's website. This usually is quite influential in ranking local sites.
That is how I always do it. I never guarantee the duration that the site will stay on the first page. Once the site hits the first page, my job is done and I get paid. I also try to make this part explicitly clear so that there are no misunderstandings.
Outsourcing your SEO tasks isn't blackhat by itself. The speed and method with which tasks are carried out make it black hat or white hat.
