Did you hear this last night? Then again, how could you have missed it? A fellow Ohioan dubbed “Joe The Plumber,” was mentioned repeatedly during last night’s United States Presidential Debate. In fact, he was referred to over 20 times by the two candidates. Earlier this week, Joe was filmed having a roadside rally conversation with Barack Obama regarding the election, the economy and small business taxes. He was concerned about the impact various tax plans have on small businesses and how it would effect his ability to prosper as an independent plumber in northwest Ohio.

Joe, we have an instant solution! We suggest you drop the service industry for the retail business and cash in on your newfound celebrity that has instantly thrust you into the national spotlight as a plumbing industry expert. You could design a great looking website dedicated to the woes of plumbing and open a 2Checkout account to sell featured products online. Bi-weekly, draft a “Do It Yourself” plumbing blog full of advice, saving tips, and maintenance tricks designed to easily explain how to manage small and inexpensive plumbing projects, and build an online store stocked with tools, faucets, retractable snaking mechanisms to unclog drains, PVC pipes, caulk, and valves to market to your audience. Once you have your site built and a few blog items developed to generate unique content, insert 2Checkout’s simple plug-n-play HTML code snippets into your site to place purchase link buttons next to hot selling products and start reaping the benefits. For a one-time $49 USD signup fee, and 45 cents and 5.5% per sale, you could sit back, take press calls from CNN and Fox News, and cash in on the newfound popularity!

Good luck Joe! Please consider the option. Once your site is up and running I expect the next step in your retail efforts will be compiling your blog history into an e-book to drive additional traffic to your site. Who knows, maybe Joe will run for President.
