I would like to start creating sites for local services in my city and sell leads. For example, I could begin a site for Dental Practices in my city, for example, "Dental Offices in Dallas". I don't live in Dallas but you get the point. I set up a snazzy site (already have a few ideas) and then get as many dental practices in my area to allow me to freely advertise them on my site in exchange for a fee each time I get them a patient, etc. I've already browsed many "directory" style sites for my area and notice they do a poor job, and have sites that look like they came out of 1995.
My biggest hurdle at the moment is trying to figure out a way to create an agreement and understand between myself and the each dental practice, to where I get paid a fee, say $15 or $20 for each potential client I send their way. The problem is getting the practice to recognize the patient discovered them through MY site AND/OR getting the patient to recognize they discovered their potential new dentist, because of me.
There must be some ways to make the purpose and efforts of the site known. If I simply post the list of dental practices, potential clients are just going to go about contacting themselves and my "middleman" position becomes pointless. Hopefully I've made my intentions clear. Anyone tried anything like this? Remember, Dental Practices are just ONE example of the many services you could do this for. I simply decided to use it because I think it's a strong need and so many people use it.
