Linda Marie Ellis is a veteran entrepreneur, mother of four grown sons and a grandmother of three. At the center of her business philosophy is her desire to help others. To that end, Linda created and launched PeepLocal.com in June of 2019 as a means of providing a platform for small businesses to promote their ventures to a local audience.

Linda is clearly onto something, as PeepLocal contines to add 700 new listings weekly. PeepLocal offers a little bit of something for everyone: business listings and search, classified ads, local events and activities, small business-related blog posts and articles, and movie listings.

Unlike its large-scale commercial competitors, PeepLocal offers affordable memberships ranging from $4.50 a month to its upper tier, which is $25.00 a month. Subscribers have the option of cancelling at any time. These flexible options give small business owners the opportunity to promote their business without breaking the bank.

Much like Google Local and Yelp, PeepLocal draws small local businesses; once these businesses create their listings, others quickly follow suit, lending a local flavor to a national platform.

Linda wears all the hats for PeepLocal.com, including that of content creator and SEO expert. She encourages new business owners to optimize their websites and social media account with unique content, links to other businesses.

Like most entrepreneurs, Linda didn’t have to go it alone; she credits her women’s group and business groups for their insights and support.

Linda Marie encourages new business owners to be consistent and never give up. Secondly, she emphasized the importance of taking advantage of every avenue for publicizing your business, from online press releases to social media accounts.

As membership in PeepLocal.com approaches 20,000 listings, it’s advice well-taken.

Linda is offering two membership specials for our listeners: pay only $49.00 for a lifetime Gold membership or receive 50% off any membership level, excluding the Gold level. Use CSDorsey at checkout, and you’re on your way to becoming a part of the PeepLocal.com community.
