And the funny thing is he doesn’t even have a cart yet!
Bernie took advantage of our free website offer and has been applying the marketing training that we provide along with it.
As you may recall, the free websites that we are building and installing (for anyone who wants one) have some advanced technology built into the back end that allows the site to find it’s way very quickly to the top of Google.
Dig this…
The site that we built for Bernie is less than two weeks old. It has already climbed to #4 out of 7,120,000 results on Google.

Steve, I have only had my site up a few days and followed your advice in the training section. I am listed on page one for my town + hot dog cart.
The best part is I do not have a cart yet!!!!!
I am that close to the top after only 3 posts going against our 3 local hot dog stands that have been here for years. I am a computer geek programmer and never had results like this with any keywords. I am so thrilled.
Thank You Steve for this wonderful package.

Mr. Null is going about his start up in the right way. Instead of first getting a cart up and running and then thinking about how to get customers (like most newbie slingers do), Bernie is working on his marketing now so that he will have customers ready to go on his opening day.
Do you think Bernie is going to be successful right out of the gate? I sure do.
Great job Bernie!!!

P.S. If you let my marketing team build you a free website you will also get free access to the most complete mobile food business training resource on the planet, our Hot Dog Profits Premium Membership (includes our cart building videos – why pay $99 when you can get it free?). All you need is a name for your business and you can get started just like Bernie.
Maybe I should do that to…. I have a Facebook for doobiesdoghouse…send me a freind request … But I’m so discouraged at the moment… Can’t seem to get the little bit if financing I need to open.. It’s crazy how I can go buy a car for $8200 and can’t get then to talk to me about a business loan for much less than that…. Any advice?
You should definitely do that Wayne. Facebook is great but today’s customers expect any “real” business to have a website. Facebook is fun but a website legitimizes you.
As far as the business loan, yes they are difficult to get because unlike a car, the bank can’t repossess a business if you default on your note. Try Kickstarter.com.
Thanks Steve… If I ever get open u gotta come see me…
Wayne, just a suggestion but you should forget the banks and go to friends or family to borrow the money. If they won’t lend it outright on the strength of your relationship then a good idea is to get some stock certificates (easy to buy) and offer to sell them shares in the business. Value your business at a certain level (say $10,000) then take about 49% of that (never more) and sell the shares for like $100 @ share. The numbers I used here are just examples,but you can determine what you need to raise and then do the math. But never never sell more than 49% of the value or you will be working for someone else again. Also have them sign an agreement that you have the right to redeem the shares at any time. That way as you start to earn money you can buy them back. I would offer them a guaranteed annual return ( 5% to 8% for example) though just to be fair and to also make it an attractive investment for them. In the end it would still be less than a ban would charge you in interest for a small business loan.
good idea mike….im sure open to ideas…i offered a friend 10% of gross sales plus 10% intrest til i payed it back…he didnt bite..his lose i guess..i feel very confident that it will do very well considering my location
Hi! Steve. I am really enjoying your course on becoming a hot dog entrepreneur. This has to be the most comprehensive course out there on the hot dog cart business.
Thanks! Fred
Hi Fred,
I’m glad you are enjoying your HDP Premium Membership. I sent you a personal email regarding your question about California cart codes.
If you are thinking about getting this package DO IT! Steve knows his stuff!
His page is simple to run and simple to customize and the best part is there are videos to show you what to do. I am thrilled with what I have learned from Steve. I am a “Old Geek” and Steve is helping me accomplish things on search engines I only used to dream of. The results are there sure it takes some time to get all the keywords I want in place but Steve taught me to do it and the results for my first Key words were AWESOME as this post proves. If you look close the 3 sites that beat me are sites that just list businesses I am the first actual business website listed.
Again Steve Thanks!
We built the website but YOU watched the videos and took the actions to make it to the first page of Google Bernie. Good job!
Keep trying Wayne. You will succeed
Steve, I’d like to jump on this offer, but it looks like it will be a year or two before I’ll get into slinging.
That’s perfect. My free website and marketing program is designed to be put into place before you actually open. The longer you have the better it works.
You should be able to easily build a customer list numbering in the hundreds before you open. On opening day just shoot an email to your list (it’s all automated) and enjoy a huge crowd that’s ready to buy.
Dutch,
Read this post again! I do not have a cart yet and do not expect to for several months. I am already receiving emails from people in my area of Indiana asking if I will be able to come to their towns (Cities) since they have had the Dogs I plan on selling before. They are not available here. Until I get my cart going.. I will continue to market and work on my keywords and build a following so that when my cart is open for business they will be there before I am. I am am building excitement with teasers…. “Snappers coming soon to Peru Indiana.” The only other local Slinger has told me “People want to know what snappers hot dogs are”, Is it going to put you out of business?” etc… The other Hot dog guy in our town is willing to let me use his cart to sell my dogs since he is part time and is my new best buddy we laugh daily about it and are talking about a partnership.
The marketing System Steve gives us works I beat 7,120,000 people out of searching for me on Google for one of my key words… Now look at the 3 places that beat me they are all sites that list businesses it is not the actual companies websites.. Mine is #4 and takes your straight to snappershotdogs.com MY WEBSITE not someone that lists me on their site so in reality I am #1 If you have doubts get the hosting, Get the free site, Watch Steve’s Videos, Customize your site, and start building a business that will promise, people will be there when you open!
Update… I am now #1 on this keyword I also score very high on about 15 keywords
I can show anyone how I did it just ask.
I followed Steve’s advice and added a bit of my own ( I am an old retired computer geek) and my site is listed very high on most of my search terms.
I am #1 now on about 7 of my 15 search terms the others are national terms like “Hot Dogs” and I am getting up to the top slowly. The lowest ranking term is “Hot Dog Cart” I am on page 13 out of 22,000,000 results and moving up!!!!1
