Thought i should break it down since i will be releasing a Free Money Book soon that will have tips on how to make money online, so here i go.
Before i tell you what you should do, you should know how to handle yourself as a Freelancer online..here are some tips for that..
- Be professional and precise about what you are offering and what you want for it.
- Do-not act petty for the smallest amounts of money, yes you need money but its not worth your dignity.
- Money first - then you do the work - Always! (Unless you are very unknown in that community or to the buyer)
- Never go against your word, ever!
- Never bluff/lie/promote your own self to such an extent that you can’t live up to the height. - Know your limits.
Now lets get down to the money making tips..these are incredibly simple and obvious to be honest..
- Link Services - Here you will have to do services such as directory submissions and social bookmarking for sites and/or go on a blog commenting spree on high profile blogs with your client’s url/title so that they get the link love and you get paid for it, so here are some of the services in this area that CAN be done..Directory Submissions
Social Bookmarking (digg,delicious,stumble..etc)
Blog Commenting
Article Submissions - Paid Posting - The most needed service by webmasters on the net is usually content creation, specially on CMS or Forum platforms, so if you have a good control over English and a can talk about any topic then this is the best choice for you. Here are some jobs that you could to get some minimal income coming in..Forum Posting
Blog commenting
Content Posting (images..etc)If you have people who can help you do forum posting then you can definitely make a full time job out of forum posting.
- Member Generation - This used to be a really popular niche back in 2006 when there was a flood of forums everywhere on every single niche you can ever imagine of and people wanted content and members so they started paying for members rather then forum posts/threads, usually people who become webmasters have a good number of friends online from communities that is not directly connected to webmaster-ing/mmo so this is the best place to utilize that, make your friends sign up on other boards and get paid for it.
Anything can be sold if you have the right pitch.
- Designing - This is probably the lowest paid job you can ever get online if you are just starting out, so do this only if you have the time to spare, its better if you design for yourself since its cheaper and you save a little amount of money but if you have to make some money designing then go for banners and logos, don’t do templates since it has more variables to be dealt with whereas logos and banners can be tackled with and made more easily and sold for $5-$10 a pop. Premade banners help in sales too!
As an extension to this service you can also do watermaks on images so that people may use them on their image/wallpaper sites..etc
- Selling Resources - This is my favourite trick to make some quick cash, selling resources and information that webmasters need direly is the best niche for freelancers, here are some related jobs/sale items to this..
- Info on PR5+ sites that allow Do-Follow FREE links
- Info on Edu/Gov links where webmasters can get D0-Follow FREE links
- Content packs (images,articles,ebooks..etc) - these are cheap to buy from forums and you can sell them at 1-2$ easily..
- Reselling scripts.
