Local advertising online is an $18 Billion business and growing. Local directories are a big part of that. You can build a local directory for your city, and sell advertising to your local merchants. Well, in theory, you can, but it’s not easy to do it well.

Now Josh P has created Local Directory Business-In-A-Box to get your local directory business up and running quickly. This new system gives you the instruction and the software you need for your own business directory.

Optimized monetization of directory sites requires some intelligent work. There are more ways to earn money than just through classified listings. These videos show you the whole process from beginning to end.
• Choosing the niches to target for your directories
• Building and populating your directory with content that will make it attractive to the public, so you can get your visitor count up and make your directory useful to advertisers
• Building traffic to your directory site, from SEO to PPC and everything in between
• Six ways to monetize your directory
• How to get businesses to see the value and pay to advertise on your site

Besides this training (plus a lot of bonus training), you get a flexible WordPress theme tailored just for these business directories. It allows you to choose the color scheme, logo, navigation menu and more.

Your theme supports:
* Consumer reviews and ratings for businesses
* Rich Snippets that Google loves
* Category listings besides the home page listing
* A separate blog that promotes your directory (since the main blog promotes your clients)
* Interactive Google maps
* Search by keyword or by location or both
* An advertiser account-management area for managing their listing
* Many other slick features your customers will love

As a bonus, you get the WP Ad Manager Pro plugin, that lets you create display ads on your site that you can sell as a revenue stream beyond the directory listings.

You are investing in a developer’s license for Local Directory Business-In-A-Box, which means you can uild as many directories for as many cities as you like.
