I’ve been up past 4 am each day this past week, responding to people who really need help.

They lost their job, their business is shut down, they need money right now for rent, and they have kids to feed.

How many local businesses around you are struggling?

Want to help your local restaurant, chiropractor, real estate agent, or other business let people know they are still open– serving food curbside and handling customers via digital?

This Coronavirus pandemic is not going away in 27 days– there is no going back to “normal”.

We face a permanent shift to learning how to connect digitally, to market digitally, and to learn digitally– do you agree?

My buddy, Brendan King, created the Conquer Local program to help train digital agencies to serve local businesses.

He’s footing the bill, since he’s a successful business owner doing his part in this crisis– so it’s totally free to you, even if you have no experience.

I’m honored to be one of the instructors in the program, which includes live weekly training calls for us to perform exercises together to start your digital marketing agency.

We will not only help you get everything going but give you clients, too, once you’re qualified to serve them.

While people are quarantined at home, instead of watching more Netflix, they should be taking advantage of the time to learn Facebook ads, how to rank on local search results, how to get more reviews, how to generate more revenue from their existing customer base, how to create one-minute videos, and so forth.

If you want to join this free program, I’d be honored to teach you– link in the comments below.

If you are a world-class digital or local marketer and want to help out by training and mentoring these new agency owners, let me know.

If you’re a local business and you want help during this time, you could go through these same exercises yourself– link in comments below.

We need to create more jobs and help local businesses right now, do you agree?
