Make Money Online By Providing Services

July 24th, 2008 | by admin |

Do you know that the first cash I received amounts only to $30 by doing forum postings? Yeah guys, I did a forum posting job when I was starting my make money online quest few years back.

I remember it was at namepros. Oh I love this forum, you shouldn’t let the chance pass to register on this one, so newbie friendly. If you know namepros, they have a section wherein other members give incentives to other members who do tasks for them like forum posting, blog commenting, social bookmarkings, etc. During my first year in the business, I was one of the guys who always visit that section to grab every opportunity and earn a bit. You get paid via the namepros currency system and then you can sell it to other members for real cash. It was really an easy way to earn something when you have some time to spare, though not that big.

And from that, I started learning things and made my way on the digitalpoint forums and some freelancers website wherein I had the chance to establish a good reputation after several succesfull services. One of the most memorable one was when I rank a site in google fast, just 10 days for a competitive keyword. After that work, clients keep coming in asking me to do seo services for their site.

So what type of services can you provide? You really should know your capability. If you have the passion for writing, then try offering some copywriting services or if you possess some programming skills, show them what you can do. If you’ll just check sites like namepros, digitalpoint, sitepoint, getafreelancer, etc., you’ll find that there’s a lot of opportunities waiting out there. You can even offer yourself as a virtual assistant for someone. It’s just a matter of how you will present yourself to possible clients in order to get hired.

How to get hired for a certain service? I suggest that you set-up something like a portfolio. If you’re an expert of something, create a page that will serve as a reference of your past works. If you’re a newbie, don’t go for something that you can’t do, reputation is important so don’t ruin yours. Try putting a lower price, when you have an established reputation in the field, then you can increase your asking price.

Here’s some known services that most people are looking for:

  • Copywriting
  • Website Design
  • Link Building
  • Data Entry
  • Video Creation
  • Web Development/Programming
  • Telemarketing
  • Tech Support
  • SEO
  • Virtual Assistant

I have provided a couple of those in the past before I focused on doing seo alone. You can start providing your own services now to add more income aside from making money online thru other means like adsense, selling ad spaces, making reviews, affiliate marketing, etc. Who knows, you might earn something bigger than the big boys someday!

    You are absolutely correct. There are hundreds of small business who either do not know anything about SEO or do not even have a website. If you can target and provide some Internet related services then it will create a win win situation for both parties.

    I agree with you. While blogging is a great way to make money. It takes time before establishing oneself as a credible blogger. That’s why I also accept writing, editing and whatever online job I could get. After all, I’m a fulltime freelancer and I have bills to pay. Hahahah.

    Good luck to your make money online efforts! :D

    It’s interesting looking back at all the online money making techniques we use to do, and then looking at today when we finally understand things such as creating a website or SEO. Your post brought back a little nostalgia for me, thanks.
