Issue 29 : Selling a Service!
Are you good at something? Writing? Art? Etc? If you have a talent and would like to make some money then why not start selling your services online? The chances of selling services locally are good because you can get a lot of clients through word of mouth, but imagine the extent of your reach over the internet! There are literally millions of people surfing each and every day and maybe they need what you have to offer.
I am going to break it down in a couple different areas just so you can fully grasp the ideas that I am sharing. Let’s take a closer look at your options when it comes to selling services online:
1. Creative Works.
This is something that you need to be skilled for. If you have a talent such as ‘Graphic Designing’, ‘Illustrating’, ‘Writing’, etc. then you can sell your services in this fields as a freelance artist. There are always numerous companies who are looking for either graphic or written material for one or more projects. There are many places to find work such as forums, social networks or freelance service pages. If you have the talent, why let it go to waste? Make some money from it!
2. Knowledge.
This is selling a service based on information. There are thousands of people who log on the internet everyday looking for answers and there are people who are making money just by giving people advice on certain topics online or even just to answer simple questions related to computer issues. You can also sell your expertise on certain subjects and looking back at the last issue of the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘ you can make a killing by releasing and selling a “How-to” E-Book!
3. Leisure & Entertainment.
These services include downloading games, music and video. I know someone who is very successful running a website that streams old movies and users pay for a subscription to his website! Before you go in that directly, I warn you that there could be many legal issues to consider before you set up. Always make sure that you have the right to distribute the content that you are selling!
4. Hosting & Traffic.
Finally I am going to talk about Hosting and Traffic. These are two things that are very much needed online, so you won’t have a lack of clients if you choose this direction. For Hosting you will need an investment to start up so that you can buy/rent servers to host your client’s files. There is a lot of work to be done if you plan on starting a hosting business online, but if you can pull it off… expect to make a lot of money!
Traffic is another thing that everyone wants, but only a certain percentage of internet websites get an abundance of! So selling traffic-related services will always be a perfect solution if you want to make some extra cash.
Now that I went through the possibilities in selling services online, try and decide if it is something that you think is right for you… if it is, then decide which direction you will go and start making things happen! This was the 29th issue of the ‘ONE YEAR MILLIONAIRE‘ and next time I am going to tell you about what I think is the best thing you can do to make some good money on the net!
