Owned and operated by Internet Marketing expert Jeffrey Taylor, Earn My Business LLC is the parent company for LocalGoldmine.com a Local Internet Marketing company aimed at helping small business owners learn how to effectively use Local Search and Local Internet Marketing to attract new customers and grow their business.
After receiving my degree in Marketing and Psychology back in 1985. I ran an advertising agency in NY.
I was burned out from the corporate rat race and packed my bags and moved to Scottsdale Arizona in the early 1990′s. It was at that point in my life I decided I wanted to be my own boss and work from home. It wasn’t easy at first but I was able to survive in the beginning providing consultant work for small businesses.
The Biggest Change in my life occurred in 1995!
In 1995 I ran into this new thing called the Internet and I have never looked back at the traditional advertising world.
Over the past 16 years of employing search engine marketing for my own businesses and the businesses of clients, one thing that I still have yet to find is that magic, no work, get rich quick scheme that I see advertised everyday. I am sure you get phone calls everyday with some sales rep pushing the latest greatest Internet marketing scheme. Don’t be fooled. Local Internet marketing is not about quick schemes or secrets, it is about knowing how SEO works and doing it right.
I have done very well with Internet marketing, but it was no cake walk. I have spent years learning, applying what l learned. Failing, and learning from my mistakes.
I am an expert in Search Engines, and had articles published and traveled all over the country doing lectures on SEO.
I remember in 1999 I was at a SEO convention in San Francisco when I saw a booth with this new search engine called Google. I walked over to the booth and a young kid named Sergey Brin explained their vision and gave me a coffee mug and a few other collectibles. Who would have thought he would be a billionaire and the king of search engines a short time later.
I have built several online businesses and actually created one of the very first capture pages back in 1995 for my automotive business. Back then, we had to Fax our leads to car dealers because very few people used email.
I also buy and sell domain names and currently own over 2,600 domain names.

One of the areas I became involved in is Local Internet Marketing for small business owners and I soon realized that many small business owners are struggling to understand how they can use the internet to effectively attract new customers and increase their presence online.

Local Internet Marketing is changing the way people shop.
Let’s face it, traditional advertising like the Yellow Pages and local newspapers are dead and aren’t coming back. People go online when they need something and they search until they find it. They use keywords specific to what they need and if you don’t show up they use someone that does. To those of you that are dragging your feet it can be devastating to your business if your competition beats you in the local search results.
Just having a website is not enough in 2012. To market online in 2012 you must have a comprehensive Internet presence and a plan of action to be successful in today’s business community.
