Is a great Flea market idea really a good small business idea?

flea market reportGetting the urge to start a flea market business seems like a good idea, but you need to do some careful research before you rush out and buy a whole lot of sunglasses to sell at your local market.

I have a lot of flea market experience and have even written a how-to-report that shows you the best ways to get a flea market idea up and running. I now do a lot of training for small businesses and have a course that covers all the different ways that you could start a small flea market business.

However it pays that you look into the basics of the idea long before you buy a course from them and then do days of research finding out that you could have gone in a completely different direction – as far as you small business ideas go.

I have some basic reports, and more and have just completed a page here on this website that will give you a better idea about your flea market ideas.

I encourage you to read that page – Go here – Small business ideas – Flea market ideas

Small Business need only get a tiny helping hand for it to create jobs for a number of individuals.

micro business opportunities

I live in South Africa and am continually horrified by the powers that be thinking that small business is in fact a business that employees 100 or 200 people. Now while this is true, the real small businesses that are seen as micro businesses are the backbone of the entire country.

Time and again I see a hawker, or guy who does little wire cars – doing their best to produce enough money to eat every day. If support were given to those guys we would start to see some real growth of businesses all across the world.

I teach flea market guys different ways to help promote their items, but if they continually have to eat their growth money they will never get the opportunities to become a stable small business.

Small business opportunities in South Africa and all across the world needs backup for then to succeed.

Perhaps in the meanwhile we can get together and offer all the support that is possible from our side.

Thanks Guys

use keyword search toolI Needed to make a video that allowed me to show small businesses that are already established in South Africa how to use the keyword search tool.

The idea was to take this keyword search tool and apply it in a simple manner that will allow a small business to get new targeted traffic.

What I did was to demonstrate to the awning industry how to get very low competition keywords that still receive targeted traffic. The fact that you will be targeting traffic sources that are less than 100 actual searches a month is not really a problem, as you would then be able to do this to a lot more keywords as they will get you to page one in a fast manner, and that way you could target more and more. Eventually you will have reached a position where you will have a lot of traffic and therefore be making money.

I guess the easiest way is for you to go and watch the video that I made. I have placed the video on this page - Keyword search tool

I set out to target this keyword today – “Google keyword research” and I did it for a very good reason.

doing google ketword researchYou will find that certain keywords that get low searches like “Google keyword research” can sometimes also have very low competing pages.

Now that is a great reason to make the effort to target that keyword term, as you know that for very little effort you will get very targeted visitors coming to your website (even if only at a trickle rate) for a long time.

Because you made the effort to do the correct tags, links, keywords etc for a page that has very low competing pages you will be almost certainly guaranteed all the visitors.

I purposely chose to add a video in this little ranking effort for one very good reason, and that is while I have been specifically targeting only South African businesses, the international searches for that specific keyword is quite a lot higher. Now as you all know the video will stand a very high chance of featuring on the first page results and get me even more targeted visitors.

I have added all the details and the video itself onto a page here on my website, and would love it if you went and had a look and a listen to what I have to show you.

I have a very bad head cold today so you could get a bit of a chuckle from my voice in the video.
