Building a Web Marketing Agency From Scratch: How to Use Authority Sites to Make Instant Cash
In my own business, in 2014...
this is pretty much my exclusive focus.
First - creating online ASSETS using the authority site model that have empirical value in a niche that I feel a powerful sense of passion and purpose around.
Next, leveraging that content, and the community that emanates from it, to connect with, and cultivate clients for my own online marketing agency.
For example? You can create a hyper local BuddyPress social networking community in YOUR local marketplace, where you currently live and work, that focuses on news, events and happenings in your city, town or municipality.
You are not only building a site that has PUBLIC value to the people who live local to you, but you are simultaneously positioning yourself as an expert, or authority, in the online marketing landscape by virtue of the fact that you own a site that is locally known.
Or, consider creating a "YELP" like business directory in your niche, industry or marketplace, or in one that you would love to be perceived as an authority or expert within.
Not only does this give you some "power" in your niche, it gives you the opportunity to sell additional services "behind" the scenes, from premium placements on your directory, to featured listings, to more conventional high value offers like web development, blog building, web design, newsletter and email marketing, social media marketing, content creation, or just about any other offer that has interest to you.
You can build this sort of authority site using WordPress...
and very simple, specialized templates of all types and stripes that literally cost no more than a few hundred bucks, and build a 6 figure business from SCRATCH, out of thin air, doing work that you love, AND simultaneously building an online asset that has empirical value, starting today.
