10 – Selling for people.
Yes, some people just don’t have the gift of selling and that’s where
you can come in and clean up. There are sites that have people who have
stuff to get rid of or are looking for someone to help them get started
with their products. It takes someone with the skills to successfully
pull this type of job off but you either have it or you don’t. It’s
niche specific too so if you’re an aficionado of fishing equipment and
you run into someone with a new lure or service, you can use your
connections to get the word out for a cut of the profits. Negotiate your
contracts with these people properly and you’ll gain a reputation
quickly and your business should expand.
9 – Affiliate marketing.
Affiliate marketing is a huge part of the internet. Basically you use
your website, blog, email or social networking to sell someone else’s
products or services. You then become an affiliate that gets a
percentage of each sale. This is facilitated by secure databases that
tracks your specific affiliate ID code. This can be extremely lucrative
but it takes savvy. Just because you have popular website doesn’t mean
anything you post will make sales. You have to have the right products
at the right times and some will be perennial and others you’ll have to
swap out monthly. Statistics for this type of internet work are
extensive and generally accurate. Study up and give it a go.
8 – Consulting.
If you’re an expert in some field you can set up an online
consultation business. You can do it live via video or via a message
board. There are many combinations and you’ll have to find out which one
best suits you. For example if you’re knowledgeable about a specific
area that others aren’t you can clean up. People love that extra inside
tip or guidance that keeps the wolves off the door.
7 – Counseling.
Counseling is huge on the web. People need that guidance and when it
comes to issues like marital problems, business, education, raising pets
and more you’ll find millions of counselors available on the web. Some
are so popular that they have their own web broadcasts. If you’re
looking for the more intimate side of counseling just keep your
clientele to a comfortable one and when they get better and move on,
more will come in to take their place. Your reputation will grow with
the satisfied customers and that will lead to something you can depend
on.
6 – Virtual office administration.
There are always companies looking for people who work at home on the
internet. With some basic administrative skills you can be an office
worker at home. You can actually work for several companies from around
the world. Handling emails, writing reports, doing phone calls or
customer support. This is a huge income market that allows for the
comfort of home or small office.
5 – Negotiate deals.
Have you the skills to bring people together and get a deal done?
Then using the internet to negotiate deals is for you. This can be a
huge income if you get the big deals. It may take some hunting but look
for people in an area you’re a specialist in. If you see two companies
that don’t know one another and you feel you can cut a deal then get in
there and push. Make sure you have the right contracts so no one gets
rid of the middle man. This is a line of work that calls for good
manners and cool nerves but getting a company to purchase or work with
another can be very rewarding.
4 – Trading.
Not stock trading although that is a lucrative internet business but
just overall trading of cool goods and services. Do you have that inside
track on excellent toys or tools? How about awesome crafts like quilts
and furniture? Curio pieces no one else has but someone wants to trade?
Finding that sought after item that someone else wants but can’t find
can turn into quite the windfall. There are numerous news stories about
this way to make money on the internet. One sharp eyed dealer finds that
painting or chair and then finds the person who has been looking for it
for years. The searcher has that car or jewelry you’ve been looking for
you know you can sell for a higher price or get to another searcher for
a cut. It happens. It takes skill, perseverance but once you get the
hang of it you’ll be a reputable trader.
3 – Writing.
The skills of writing are a huge demand on the internet. The best
skilled writers make wonderful incomes and have regular clientele. If
you freelance for online magazines you can also get work at mainstream
publications. It all depends on skill, talent, and determination. It
will take some searching to find whether you want to work for an agency
or handle freelancing on your own. Added to that you might want to try
your hand at ebooks or other products. Writing isn’t going away anytime
soon on the internet.
2 – Proofreading.
Yes, you can actually make money proofreading! With all the software
out there that claims to do proofreading, nothing beats good ol’
fashioned human eyes and knowledge. The best companies in the world make
sure their copy is proofread by a human being. This is why companies
fan out to find people who are professional proofreaders. Once you get
the clientele you can expect an avalanche of copy to proof. It’s a big
responsibility though as any mistakes could be disastrous. It all
depends if you’re the last line of grammatical defense regarding a
project.
1 – Ebay.
There are so many people on Ebay it’s phenomenal. It’s one of the
easiest ways to make money on the internet that millions do it daily.
Why? Because anything laying around in your basement could probably be
sold on Ebay. Some people do nothing all day but find objects to sell on
Ebay. They scour flea markets, discount stores, garage sales and more
just to snag up items they figure are in demand somewhere on Earth and
in most cases they’re right! A smart shopper can spot a deal a mile away
and it doesn’t take hundreds of Ebay sales to make a good income.
Sometimes just a few a year can do the trick. With an Ebay store you can
control it from home or even a smartphone. Set up your shipping and
you’re good to go.
