Effective ways to make money online - Sell information

KNOWLEDGE IS PRICELESS!!!!



 People will pay good money - for GOOD information.
If you are an expert on something.....why not use it for profit???

  My take on an effective way to make money online by selling information is as follow:

  - Get a blog: write, write, write
      Get attention by commenting (nicely) on other blogs with the same subject
      Be part of a community with same interests
      Make sure to spread the word (use social media, friends, get the word out there)
       
  - Write a PDF with REAL INFORMATION
      Use your own words
      Describe your own experiences
      Get a professional editor to proofread it
      Make sure to write a copyright infringement segment to keep you stuff (relatively) safe

  - Sell it for a very reasonable price

Effective ways to make money online - Online Marketing using Social Media

  There are a lot of scams out there. Be really careful. There is no magic bullet that will make you rich over night. Unless you come up with a product or service that has a high demand. Even then it takes a little bit of luck and a lot of hard work. And above all.... time.

  So I would like to share with you some words of wisdom along with some research I did on ways to make money online that are effective and over time can be profitable. Just beware that as with any other job you need to be a good fit. I advise you to stick with what you know and what you love to do.


  1- Online Marketing using Social Media

  In the beginning of Facebook and Twitter, there was a good chance that anyone could start an online marketing business using Social Media tolls and be successful. Nowadays with all the competition out there it is a lot harder to get clients without a great portfolio and years of experience. But if you are witty, a great communicator, and have a knack for getting positive attention from your friends and strangers on the Social Media sites, you are halfway there.

  My advice is to start with your close friends that are business owners. Offer to manage their business page or revamp them for a day. Maybe a quick guerrilla marketing (if you already have lots of followers and friends). Keep a snapshot of before and after. That will show the results of your hard work. Ask your friend for feedback and if you can add the experience to your resume. And maybe your friend might be able to pay you next time he or she needs new clients or when they need to promote some more.

  Beware:
    -  There are lots of professional 'haters' out there. Always keep your cool, be polite, and avoid confrontations.
    -  You need to be responsible and consistent.  
    -  Don't be overbearing. Try not to exhaust your own friends and followers with propaganda. Best advice is to keep a separate page or accounts for marketing and let people have the choice to listen to your business.


  The objective of this post is to help people that are trying to start an e-business. English is not my first language, so I apologize for any mistakes. This post is based on personal experiences and my own opinion of what would be a good way to start an e-business. I am not trying to tell you what to do, it is all just friendly advice. 

ONLINE BUSINESS WHERE TO START...

  Wouldn't it be nice to be in charge? To be able to make your own hours? To make money for yourself and not just for 'the company'?
  Here are a few steps you can take to make your dream came true.


1ST STEP  -  KNOW YOURSELF

• Are you well organized?
• Do you follow thru on your own? 
• Are you GREAT at customer service?

If you failed at any of the questions above.. Don't fret! Those are skills that can be acquired. 

2nd STEP  - HAVE AN IDEA

• YES, you will need something that people would want to spend money on it.
• It can be a service tailored to the online community
• It can be something that can be downloaded
• It can be anything (legal) that can be shipped in a box

If nothing comes to mind at the moment, you can search the internet for success stories and inspiration.

3rd STEP  -  HAVE A PLAN

• Put it all on paper.. your vision, your future
• Make a step by step to do list of how to get there
