Offer a service(s).
If you really want to earn a full time income with an Internet
business as quickly as possible, provide services.
No, it’s not leveraged or passive. And you have to work with
one person or one business at a time. And bust ass every day
to build a good reputation, and get referrals.
It takes a full year or two of this before business starts to
effortlessly come your way.
Once this happens, you’ll have to systemize your process,
prioritize your time and raise your prices. Then scale.
I speak from experience on this…
I decided to begin offering services almost 2 years ago now.
It started out SO slow, and there was a big learning curve.
For example, I began installing WordPress blogs… and absolutely
hated it. Not my thing. But if you need a blog I sure can refer
you to several different people.
Then it was social media management for a minute… I didn’t
like that much better. Talk about being chained to computer.
Uggh! Plus, I don’t recommend giving your voice away, and if
someone wants to give their voice away to YOU for pay…
Be careful! It requires a lot of communicating.
Finally, it was writing.
Duh, “write?!”
I mean, I should have known it was writing all along, but we
often don’t see what’s right in front of our face.
I’ve had poems published; hosted in-service workshops for
teachers who wanted more insight for teaching elementary
students writing. I’ve participated in workshops with the
notorious Kim Stafford.
And get this?
I love to write!
I can spend 5 hours a day in the coffee shop typing away
and penning lines in my journal 5 days a week without issue.
So to conclude, here’s my point…
Likely you have a skill that others don’t. THAT’S your service.
Toss up a simple website. Craft a unique offer, develop a
services page then get on a social network and GO.
People don’t want your unknown ebook. They want your help.
That’s what services are all about.
But if you do this long enough, developing a product (along
with an audience to sell it to) will come much easier.
Good luck!
