Main Street Marketing Machines Review by an Actual User


A Real Main Street Marketing Machines Review From A Real User With Real Experience

There are all sorts of Main Street Marketing Machines review sites by people who are marketing and selling it as affiliates. The question is, how many of those reviews are by people who are actually using the system? This review is a straightforward and real review by me, an actual user of the system, telling you the good, bad and ugly of what to expect from Mike Koenig's (of Traffic Geyser fame) latest product offering.

I've been a Traffic Geyser user for a few years now and have had only great experiences with Mike Koenigs (one of the founders) and his team. So, when Mike announced Firepower, the predecessor product to Main Street Marketing Machines, I was excited to give it a try, and I did.

First I Used Firepower, The Predecessor To Main Street Marketing Machines

Firepower was designed to get people going fast and furious making money by helping local businesses get found online. To do that, Mike gave you pretty much everything you would ever need to build a business, market yourself, find clients, contract with them and then do the actual work of getting them ranked.

Because the Main Street Marketing Machines system is based on Firepower, I can tell you what I think of everything that will be in the MSMM system based on my Firepower experience. I'm upgrading my Firepower program to Main Street Marketing Machine as soon as it is available, and I'll comment even more extensively on my use of it after it is released, but I can also comment here on what's new and improved in MSMM over Firepower as well.

Saving Time By Reducing Start-Up Hassles

So, just imagine everything you may need to get up and going to start a business where local businesses will pay you to help them get found online as well as in mobile search. Obviously, that's a pretty sexy promise to make to a business owner - "I'll help you get more paying customers. Would you like more business?"

Mike suggests using lines just like that to introduce your services to local business owners and I can tell you that it works. I personally used this system to help generate over 100 local search customers for myself!

One thing that I really like about the Main Street Marketing Machines system is that when I first got started doing local search, I had to build all of the systems and marketing materials myself. So, I build power point presentations, flyers, business cards and all that, then I flew to the Philippines and rented space, hired a staff, bought computers and started my whole outsourcing resource all on my own.

Using Main Street Marketing Machines, you don't have to go through all of that. In fact, when I bought Firepower, I was in the process of creating complete autoresponder e-mail sequences for different categories of business, but with Mike's system, I did not have to. It was already done for me.

Getting Your Presentation and Client Getting Materials Done

So, with MSMM you save the time of creating business cards, flyers and presentations, because they are included in the program and they are all very good. Mike hired a very experienced and professional team that did real estate magazine graphics and marketing to build all of this for the system.

Finding Prospects To Present Your Local Search Services To

A new addition to Main Street Marketing Machine that was not included in Firepower and one that I'm extremely excited about is the Opportunity Finder which goes out and searches the millions of existing businesses to find those that are most likely to need, want and be willing to pay you for helping them with local and mobile search.

I cannot stress enough how much of a time saver this is. Mike's research has already identified the 13 million plus businesses that do not already have a website and those that are most likely to want one, as well as those that already have sites but need our help to get found. This alone to me was worth the price of the MSMM system.

Helping Your Clients With Pre-Prepared E-Zine Content and E-mail Sequences For Auto-Responders

Additionally, the system includes very good e-mail sequences to load into an auto-responder for several different categories of business, including chiropractors, doctors, dentists, lawyers, restaurants and more. Using these sequences, you can offer clients you sign up the ability to start their own e-zine to stay in touch with and get more business from their existing customer lists. This is a HUGE value to give to local business.

Shortcomings Of the Main Street Marketing Machines System

All of the quick start and marketing guides and manuals are well done. I do wish that the program included transcripts from all of the videos, because I hate having to watch video. There is no good way to speed it up to skip through what you don't care about.

I also wish that the product videos came on DVDs that were shipped to you because you will have to watch them online unless Mike makes a change to that. I ended up downloading everything, but that does take a while to do. Of course, now that I have it all downloaded, I can watch and skip forward any time I like, so maybe this is not that big of a deal.

How Traffic Geyser Integrates With Main Street Marketing Machines To Rank Local Businesses

Once you find the opportunities and get the business using the included marketing materials, it's time to get busy and get your new found clients ranked. This is done primarily using the Traffic Geyser core system, which is included in the Main Street Marketing Machines program.

As I said earlier, I've been a happy Traffic Geyser user for almost as long as it has existed an it rocks. The system totally works even on hard to get keyword phrases, but when you're using it for local search, forget about it! It's awesome and it works super fast too. You can have clients getting their listings found in as little as 2 or 3 minutes. Even the harder listings usually come up within a day or two.

I have used Traffic Geyser for promoting launches where I was competing against over 100 savvy and experienced internet marketers and even with no list and Traffic Geyser I managed to come in 1st during the first day of launch and earn 5 figures.

Mobile App Builders For iPhone and Android

One of the most exciting things about Firepower for me was that it included an iPhone App builder. With billions of mobile phone users and all of them increasingly searching using their mobile devices, especially to find local businesses on the fly, I knew how hot an offer it would be for me to be able to offer my local business clients the ability to have their very own iPhone Apps.

You can use this as a high ticket upsell when selling customers either at the time of initial sale, or as I prefer, after you have them for some basic core services.

One of the cool new things about the Main Street Marketing Machines system is that it also includes a Google Android App builder, so you can build apps for both iPhone AND the Android.

Main Street Marketing Machines Review

So, I'm a huge fan of Main Street Marketing Machines and I hope you have enjoyed this Main Street Marketing Machines review. I am currently using this to take my own local search business to the next level, and I believe that anyone who is or wants to get into this overlooked and under-appreciated business could really benefit from what Mike is offering.

The system is not perfect. Video transcripts and physical product would be a great addition, but I believe the program is a great value and that anyone who wants to build a business helping with local search could really save a ton of time and money with a system like this.
