Which Services to Offer?
The list can go on and on regarding services you might offer to add immediate income to your business. The important thing for you to do is determine which one you can start today, without any training. Which one or two services can you offer by simply adding the service to your website, and telling everyone you know that youââŹâ˘re doing it? ThatââŹâ˘s the service you want to offer, because it will be the one that you can start now.
How to Market Services?
Once you pick a service to offer, add it to your website, announce it to your social media connections, and promote it just like you do your other Internet business. The difference is, once you get an order and do the work you will get paid immediately. You still have to market your services, but itââŹâ˘s easier to make fast money. There is such a high request right now for content writers, social media experts, and graphic designers that if you have these skills, you can literally be making money in a week if you have any connections at all.
Long-Term vs. Short-Term Strategy
Earning revenue, while a better plan for the long term, takes longer to build. It can take a year before you build traffic to your website to the point of generating the kind of income youââŹâ˘re looking for. Offering service and getting immediate cash can lessen the stress and give you the money you need right now to build the future business that allows you to finally take a break. Remember, trading hours for dollars is not a long-term business strategy, not if you want to go on vacations, stop punching a clock, and collect your income, but it is a great short-term strategy when you must earn something right now.
Local Clients
You can even offer offline services to local clients to add dollars to your bank account. Local businesses are in great need of those with the expertise of earning money on the web. They need you. You can make a thousand dollars or more per offline client by offering any of the above services to them. Many small businesses cannot afford to hire someone full-time, but they can certainly hire you on a contract basis or a project-based fee to get the job done. This means immediate cash for you to use getting your real Internet business up and running.
