Issue #256 | August 4th 2024

Aloha and welcome to this August edition of Shark Bites!

August is here which means summer is beginning to lay its head down for an Autumn rest. Of course, as business owners, we can’t rest with it.

We have to keep on prospecting and bringing in the green stuff.

To help you do just that, let’s dive into this round of Shark Bites.

Catch
catch of the week
  • Kicking things off, Shark Alliance Member, Sandy Alexander bartered a car repair in exchange for a GBP optimization service. Plus, a website hack restoration and a site edit for $585. Not a bad week at all!
  • Next, Remote Millionaire, Richie Cronin upsells a client from $1,500 to $3,000 a month. Plus, they 15x’d the results that client was getting from their previous agency… Wow, great work!
  • Up next, Shark Alliance EG Buzz wins again. This time, with a client that owns a YouTube channel and wants to crank it to $8k a month in revenue. Good work EG!
  • Then, Shark Alliance Member, Scott Walker lands a client for a cool $1,400. Nice one!
  • Last but not least, we had a win in our own agency… with a new client in the nude snorkeling tour niche. (Weird but it pays!)

What a great week!

Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.


Yes, more AI news this week. This time an article about why you may not want to trust everything AI says. We’ve always said that AI is a powerful tool. But it doesn’t completely replace the human touch.

That’s why it’s important to always double check that when you ask an AI a question that it’s answers are actually factual.

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
