Definitely Worth It!

Came across this company while looking up ways to make money online. After A LOT of research and pondering I eventually took the plunge. I'm SO glad I did! The instructional content is comprehensive and easy to follow. Yes, you can find a lot of the same principles in random places online, but here it's 1) accurate and current, and 2) super easy to follow along since it's all packaged together in one place. But even better than that is the access to the community. Experts and newbies alike join in the conversation to share ideas, motivation, and even partner up to serve clients. It's been a huge help. I've already earned back the initial cost and am now making a profit, even working on this only on nights and weekends!

I've been with them for over 2 months, the team is friendly, experienced and they really will go above and beyond to help you out at all times of the day or night! Excellent!

Happy with my investment

It's been 6 months and these guys, and the community, are legit. They are regularly updating the content and there seems to be someone in the group that can help for every scenario. Daily live calls to get your questions answered. Not a one-trick pony, this group will be here for the long haul.

Want an Excellent after-sales service?

I have wanted to learn digital marketing to add to my skill set and as I joined the training program of Local Marketing Vault, I must say that they did an amazing job of how to learn it from Zero to Z. Courses are discussed in a manner that even a fifth grader would understand. You can easily access the video training and it is well organized. The number one that I appreciate so much is when you join the program you will become a member of the LMV community group where you can grow and ask for help if needed for you to have a guide in facing challenges as you go on this journey. There is a weekly Q&A hosted by smart and qualified mentors that you can attend to discuss new updates and trends in the digital marketing space so you won't be left off. It's something like you will have an excellent after-sales service after purchasing the LMV program.

If you're pretty new to marketing, this is definitely the place to start...

This was the first marketing course we ever took, and it was worth every penny. The training is frequently updated so it is pretty much always current, unlike some other courses out there. This is the perfect course for a marketing beginner; someone looking to start their own agency. It's certainly not the only course we've needed - we have chosen to keep learning and adding to our skill-set through further education, both in terms of sales training and the tech fulfilment side of things... But this would have been so much harder if we hadn't started with LMV first, as it provided such a good foundation and initial knowledge base for us to go on and expand further. The training itself is brilliantly put together and super easy to follow. But probably the best thing is the community itself, which is priceless. There are so many knowledgeable and supportive people in this group that you can rely on help with pretty much anything you need... The ONLY downside for us, being in the UK, is the time of the weekly Live Q&As (of which there are many) as it would involve staying up til gone midnight to attend live - but you can always catch them on replay. If you're pretty new to marketing, this is definitely the place to start and we'd highly recommend LMV to anyone looking to start their own agency!

3 Key Areas that Make the Local Marketing Vault Outstanding!

I feel there are 3 key areas of the Local Marketing Vault program that make it an excellent choice if you are willing to put in the hard work consistently day in and day out without any excuses. You must take full responsibility for your own success in this program. If you are not making progress, all you need to do is to look in the mirror.

1) Excellent online training from the core digital marketing skills (Lead Gen / Paid Ads, Email / SMS Marketing, Reputation Management), to learning how to propect, to partnering / outsourcing, to managing and running your own business like a CEO.

This program doesn't stop you from learning new skills to complement what you learn in LMV. It is all up to you.

2) At least 9+ weekly live Q&A calls where you can ask any question to help to keep you and your business moving foward as well as learning from experienced mentors and experts in their own skill area, and

3) the awesome community support with a private Facebook group and networking with others to help you whether it is prospecting, selling, fulfilling, partnering, or anything you need help with.

There is no other program like it. You have everything you need to be successul in building and growing your digital marketing business.

The Course Is Half Ass Correct

The course is amazing for anyone who wants to start their own marketing agency, but the marketing classes are half ass. They don't teach the marketing strategies the correct way. Example in Google Ads, they teach that you have to create one ad group and place a bunch of keywords using keyword wrap which is absolutely wrong, if you advertise in Google ads this way. Google will charge extra per click, the correct way to do is by creating one ad group per keyword with multiple ads on each ad group. You will need Google Ads Editor to create the campaigns the correct way. The other issue with this course involving Facebook ads. In Facebook ads similar to google ads has ad sets which is similar to ad groups. The way they teach Facebook ads is also wrong and they teach it just like how they do in Google. Example, they teach ad sets with multiple targeting which is wrong. This way it will be very hard to track the conversions, the correct way to do it is by placing one targeting per ad sets with multiple ads. These guys need to learn how to Google ads and Facebook ads by a good teacher so they could teach the course correctly. Also one of the course creators Jason Mckim kicked me out of the Facebook group because I called them out how they teach marketing strategies which is wrong, also the same course creator Jason Mckim left me a very bad message inside Facebook messenger cussing me out because I called him out on how he teaches the course and he decides to block me because he got upset that I know more than him about Google ads. But other than that, the course is amazing especially if you want to start your own local marketing agency. This course would be perfect if they taught the marketing strategies the correct way.

Hey Ricardo thanks for the feedback! As we discussed before, you'll find there are millions of ways to run ads...and really to do anything in business! That's what makes things so great...everyone can find a way that really works for them and go for it! For us, it was about taking our decade of experience of managing nearly $20 million of advertising spend and condensing that into a very simple way for the average beginner to get great results! That is why over the 7 years this program has been around there are countless case studies and success stories of folks brand new to marketing launching their first Facebook and Google campaigns with great results...leading them to gaining confidence in their abilities and using that to go on and grow successful businesses! Are there more advanced strategies out there? Definitely! And we encourage people to build on their skills and test other various methods if they see fit. In the end, this isn't a program about super advanced ad strategies, but instead a program on how to build a successful local marketing business that includes not only learning about marketing (ads, email marketing, review management, seo), but also how to find prospects, close deals, and grow the business. And the feedback we've gotten over the years from the thousands of students in the program is that our methods on how to start, run, and grow and local marketing agency (including how to run ads) was simple enough for them to understand as a complete newbie which allows them to gain confidence quickly and ultimately do the main thing everyone is here for...become successful in going after their goals! Wish you continued success on your journey! Cheers, Jason

Stop Thinking & Just Do It Already!

This training program is the real deal! Jason and James have put together not just a step-by-step video training program of how to start and grow a digital marketing agency, but they've also assembled the brightest minds in the industry to coach you along the way.

I joined LMV in 2023 because my local agency was not growing. My agency is now super-charged, and I'm adding new members to my team to handle all of the new clients.

Whether you are an experienced marketer or just starting out, you'll find value far beyond the price of the program. HIGHLY recommended

Solid program. No fluff. It Works if you work it.

The LMV program is one of the most complete and supportive organizations I have found for Digital Marketing. Solid education, practical insight, detailed instructions, sample campaigns and sites. 5+ weekly Q&A calls for when you're stuck when you need help. Responsive online community to partner with and provide insight. Personal mentoring (at a fee) if needed.
#thisstuffworks. if you work it. It does not happen by itself. You have to put the work in. Do not waste your money if you're not willing to invest into building a Digital Agency and be uncomfortable from time to time. You will learn new things and changing your personal direction will require effort and commitment. If you made that choice and are committed, this is probably the best community you will ever find. Success with your journey!

Excellent Program and Experience

Joining the Local Marketing Vault was one of the best decisions I have made. The program has all the essentials you need to kick off and manage a digital marketing business. What really stands out is the community. People aren't just supportive on a business level but also personally, which really helps when you're starting from scratch.

They also emphasize the importance of partnerships and networking, which has been a game-changer for me. It's about pooling strengths and tackling the marketing world together, which definitely opened up a lot of doors and eased some of my worries. It takes a bit to get the things going, and the work you put in directly impacts your results.

I love how engaging the program is. There are tons of live Q&A sessions every week, so there's always help on hand if you need it. And the people running the courses? They're super helpful and approachable, making tough topics a lot easier to handle.

I’m really glad I stumbled upon this program. If you're thinking about getting into digital marketing, Local Marketing Vault is a solid choice. It’s not just about learning the ropes, it’s about thriving in the business with a solid team behind you.

#thisstuffworks

I am in agreement with MANY other members of this program that are in similar shoes: We have been in SEVERAL other programs that are akin to this one, and NONE of them compare! This is BY FAR the BEST one! This seems like the original "Local Business Owner SMMA" type business that EVERYONE else in this space offering coachings or a masterclass has ATTEMPTED to copy.

We have INCREDIBLE access to the founders James and Jason for them to LITERALLY hand-hold you through the ENTIRE process! I mean A to Z, and completely adapted to whatever style of business model appeals to/fits you! The program is rock solid, and has been around for at least 6 - 7 years. It is one of THEE best secrets that is right out in the open, ESPECIALLY for a determined entrepreneurial spirit.

A VERY lively and robust community of other people learning, mentors, PARTNERS, as well as other VERY ACTIVE(literally almost every day) experts are baked right into the program.

EVERYTHING is laid out for you. There is nothing left to chance. The ONLY way to fail is to quit or not follow SIMPLE step by step instructions. Also to top that all off with a delicious cherry on top...the business model is altruistic. YOU ONLY MAKE MONEY BY HELPING OTHER SMALL BUSINESSES MAKE MONEY. The End.

With this, YOU are absolutely the only thing that will stand in your way. What you put in, is what you will get out. The tools and incredible OPPORTUNITIES that this course/mentorship/program offers is undoubtedly LIFE CHANGING. My life will forever be changed for the better. It's already begun.

Thanks for now, and thanks in advance,
- Daniel

Best Internet-Based Business Model

I have been a business owner for the past 14 years, and I joined LMV on March 2022 after shutting down my restaurant due to pure exhaustion and mental burnout. Before joining LMV, I invested in a much more expensive internet business and a coaching plan, and I didn't get anything near the value I got from LMV.

What made LMV different for me is that the founders showed up to do the teaching themselves! There are at least three weekly live events in the group where Jason and James are actively answering questions and helping others. ( That, to me, was quite refreshing, especially after having a previous experience with non-existent gurus)

The course material is quite comprehensive and built in a way anyone can understand. The FB group is another big plus for me because it has a lot of like-minded people with the same goal, and I got to see other people succeed, which fueled my desire to grow as well.

I can go on forever, but I will end with this, I started with LMV in March 2022, and I was making zero money online; today, in June 2023, I am making a full-time income from home, and I am still growing!

If you are willing to put in the work and grind for a while, you will for sure see the fruits of your labor!

This course works. Period.

This course works, period. I've been an LMV student for almost 3 years, and I can wholeheartedly endorse this program, as I am still using it to this day. I have been running a successful digital marketing agency for 3 years now. I started in Feb 2020, right before the pandemic, but Jason and James teachings helped me bootstrap a brand new business from home, and even thrive simply by helping other businesses get back on their feet. The teaching is very straightforward and easy to understand, even as they are going through some of the most technical aspects of setting up paid advertising campaigns on platforms like Facebook and Google. I really can't recommend it enough. If you're willing to put in the work, and want to work from home, this is the best course for you.

Jason and James ARE THE BEST

My partner Chris and I cannot thank Jason and James enough for creating Local Marketing Vault. We signed up in June 2022 and by May 2023, we are in the 'Blue Ocean.' There is so much support inside this special group. We went through the Accelerator Program with Jason at the helm and learned so much from him, he is always there for us. Their team is so stellar, shout out to Ryan, Terri, Kate, and Barrett for being so transparent and supportive, among so many others, like Kristal, such an angel. You can ask any question you want, partner with anyone you want, learn everything you need. There is so much potential in here. There's so much to learn and Jason and James make sure it's done within the confines of a safe and supportive community. They give so much of themselves to this group. We will be forever indebted to you both for allowing us the opportunity to reach our potential and become the best versions of ourselves in business. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts. You have given us back hope, and now we can dream and makes those dreams reality, you guys are THE BEST!!! LET'S GO!!!!

If you don't like sales

If you don't like sales, then do not sign up for this program. Do not let a "coach" aka salesperson tell you otherwise. They will have several clever counter arguments when you tell them you're worried about sales. Do not allow them to convince you are good at sales if you know you are not..the program is contacting mom and pop businesses and trying to get them to do fb ads and Google ads. The program is not a scam in any way but if don't like sales this not for you. This is the truth. I regret not asking more questions and I made a impulsive decision to sign up.

Hey Jason here and definitely appreciate the feedback. I do want to add in some details that didn't get mentioned. To your point on sales...I'm not sure exactly what you were told on the phone in regards to sales...but let me share what is actually in the training. In Week 3 we go over the complete A-Z sales process. Yes you're exactly right, the goal is to work with local small businesses to help them with advertising. And very true...definitely not a scam! But I want to highlight what is taught in Week 5. In Week 5, this is where we turn the discussion to acting like a CEO of your business. This is where we highlight that you may not be good at (or want to do) all the areas of your business. Mainly referring to Prospecting/Sales or Fulfillment (providing the services). In this area I highlight the importance of acting like a CEO and determining if you need to bring in other people to your team (through hiring or outsourcing) or simply partnering up to handle areas you may not be good at (sales, for example). We show you how to have other people either prospect, close deals (sell), and/or fulfill for you. This is why you will see several students partner up with strong sales people in the group and let them close the deals so someone that isn't good at selling or is scared to..or doesn't have time to..doesn't have to. So if you do not like sales, the answer is given to have someone else do that for you. This is the true meaning of owning a business. We teach you not to create a job that you can't do, but instead create a real business that you are the CEO of and can manage how you need to for success. The example I give in the training is Steve Jobs. He wasn't on the factory floor building iphones for people...or in Apple Stores selling iphones...he ran the business and had other people do the things he couldn't do...or simply didn't have time to do. Hope this helps clarify things. You can hop on any of our 6 live weekly Q&As to get more help if you need or feel free to ping me in the group. Cheers!
