Marketing to small businesses seems to be the bees-knees these days. I’ve gotten dozens of e-mails over the last few months from top internet marketers like Frank Kern, Ryan Deiss, and Mike Koenigs who are either directly or indirectly pushing some type of system for doing internet marketing for small businesses. I would guess that if the “big dogs” are hot on this trail then it is definitely worth consideration.

You’ll learn the steps to setting up a blog, the steps to building a list, the steps to getting to the top of the SERPs, etc. There are really only two steps right? Post content and build back links. The fundamentals are easy, the implementation can take awhile, especially if you’re working alone. Just remember, especially when you’re first learning, these things take time.
