“Turn Obvious Local Business Problems Into Simple $500 Fixes

Without Cold Calling, Tech Headaches, or Experience

“I didn’t need any marketing background to use this. I spotted an obvious issue with a local business I already knew, followed the steps, and landed a $500 fix without making it complicated.”

From the desk of Lee Cole!

I’ve been selling simple, practical online marketing fixes to local businesses since 2010. Since 2011, I’ve also trained thousands of people to do the same.

Over the years, I get asked a version of the same question again and again.
The question isn’t about long-term strategy.

It’s about what to do right now to make a real sale — within a reasonable amount of time, usually a few days.

The people who ask me this are usually not new to the idea of making money online.

They’ve seen the systems.
They’ve heard the theories.
They understand the vocabulary.

What they’re not asking about is building fancier funnels, chasing breakout niches, or learning complex AI-driven marketing tactics.

They’re asking something much simpler:

How can they make a real sale to a local business — selling them something that actually helps them, is easy to deliver, and pays a decent amount of money?

When people ask me what to do, what they’re really asking is:

How can they make a sale — now?

And the answer I give them is always the same.

But because when people actually do what I tell them to do, it works.

So let me show you exactly what I tell them.

My exact method for making a simple, $500 sale to a local business

I’ve been doing this same easy system for close to fifteen years — and I still do it.
Not because it’s clever.
Because it flat-out works.

I don’t do anything fancy.

I don’t send hundreds of cold emails.
I don’t go to endless networking meetings.
I don’t build prospect lists.
I don’t do AI-anything.

All of that can be useful.

But when I want to make a sale — and usually pick up a new client in the process — I start with something much simpler.

I start with the local businesses that already exist in my daily life.

The restaurants I eat at.
The dentist I go to.
The plumber who fixed my faucet last year.
The landscaping company that cuts my grass.
The auto shop I already trust.

Real businesses.
Run by real people.
In my geographic area.

From there, I do something very basic.

I get online and look at how the business shows up — the same way a normal customer would.

I check things like:

• Are their reviews on sites like Google or Yelp being responded to?
• Do the photos on their website or social media look dated or sloppy?
• Are there discrepancies in how the business name, address, or phone number appear across their website, Google, Facebook, and major review sites?
• Does the website look old, broken, confusing, or slow?

Let me be very clear about this:

I do not do an audit.

I do a quick once-over.
Five to ten minutes, tops.

If nothing obvious jumps out, I move on.

But if I notice a clear issue — unanswered reviews, ugly photos, inconsistent business info, or a clunky website — I approach the business, politely point out the issue, and offer to fix it.

For $500.

No long sales conversation.
No proposals.
No back-and-forth.
Just a clear offer to fix a clearly defined problem for a one-time $500 fee.

If they want it fixed, I take care of it.
(And yes — I outsource the fulfillment.)

If they don’t, that’s fine too.
I move on.

That’s the method.

You focus on the local businesses around you.

You notice something that needs fixing.

You offer to fix it.

You get paid.

If you’d like to do what I do — and do it the same way I do it — you’re in luck

I’ve taken the exact method I just described and put it into a short, practical mini-course called The $500 Local Fix System.

It shows you how to spot simple, fixable problems with local businesses, how to explain them clearly, how to make a clean $500 offer, how to get paid, and how to close the loop — without turning this into a bigger project than it needs to be.

No theory.
No hype.
No business-building gymnastics.

Just the method, laid out step by step, exactly the way I personally do this.

Introducing The $500 Local Fix System!

The $500 Local Fix System is a short, practical mini-course that shows you exactly how I make simple, one-time $500 sales to local businesses.

I walk you through the entire process — from spotting obvious issues, to choosing the one most likely to trigger a sale, to explaining it clearly, to getting paid, and to delivering the fix.

This is the same basic approach I’ve used for more than fifteen years.

It worked then, and it still works now.

No software.
No massive emailing.
No AI tools required.

I even outsource all of the fulfillment.

In most cases, everything is handled by email. You don’t need sales calls, presentations, or long conversations — and if you prefer not to speak with anyone at all, you don’t have to.

The $500 Local Fix System is not a course about “local marketing” in general.
And it’s not a program designed to keep you busy.

It’s a straightforward, step-by-step explanation of my preferred way to make real sales and pick up real clients — by fixing problems that already exist and offering services businesses already understand.
