What Can YOU Teach at Your Local SBA?
By admin on Sep 1, 2011 in - Marketing -
Having been a renegade artist (me? attitude?) for so long, I never thought I’d be teaching anything – much less the subject of business marketing – at any government agency.
So it was a real surprise when a friend who is the course director at our local Honolulu Small Business Administration called me and suggested I give some classes there.
I thought, why the heck not? There are people who really could use what I know! So I put together four possible classes they might want to run.
Just so you can see the various possibilities, here’s what I sent them:
• How to Reduce or Eliminate Stress
• How to Give Successful Teleclasses
• Play with Your Money for More Money to Play With
• Internet Marketing Made Easy: Are You Missing These 8 Essential Elements of Marketing?
I really thought they would go for the money one, but when they got back to me they wanted the internet marketing one.
Now, here’s the deal. In your local SBA, I can almost guarantee you there will be at least one person who knows that women comprise 52+% of today’s business owners.
Women are the hot market to target. Women are sick and tired of the push marketing model, and are naturals for pull, or attractor, marketing, AND not only know how to do it, but have had a major presence in the bazaars and marketplaces of the world for hundreds of years.
If you go down to your local SBA and offer a course, you won’t even believe what that will get you.
They have hundreds of people who are in biz who read the monthly press release that goes out announcing the classes.
That exposure alone can increase your readership considerably if you give a website address that has an optin box on it with an attractive offer for people to go sign up on your list.
Do you know something most people do not? Do you have a skill or talent you can share?
The credibility from having taught just one class there would be all you’d need to catapult you into a whole new sphere of influence!
I suggest that if you haven’t thought of it before, go down to your local SBA, if you have one, or a town near you, and see what’s up. If they have classes you can register for, take one and get to know the admin people, and make friends.
Then call them and mention that you have something they can use – and if they take it, you’re in!
All you need to do is put five steps (to creating a domain name, to building a website, to writing compelling copy, to selling on Ebay, to marketing online, to marketing offline – or whatever your skills, knowledge or expertise is in) together, give it a compelling name and teach it.
Offer something that has to do with whatever you know how to do and feel comfortable showing a complete newbie how to do it.
Once you teach there for a few months, your name will get around as the one to go to for whatever you’re known as the expert at. People wiyourll start calling you and asking for services. So in addition to what you do online, you’ll also have a good local clientele.
Why do you want a local clientele? Because you want to connect with and stay in touch with your loacl community; you don’t want your face in front of your computer screen all day anymore; and because it ain’t good for your bod to be sitting all day long.
If you like to share info, then do consider seeing if you can teach at your local SBA.
I guarantee you that you know more about your subject than the “normal” person out there – and that makes you, to them, an expert! Try it!
Doing local classes strengthens your internet marketing expertise by improving your communication skills and self-confidence. You go!
