I've made a living online since 2016 when I left corporate employment to start my own businesses. From time to time, I do get messages from people who would like to toe this path. I hope that this post can help someone out there to create their own luck starting from when they read this.

The first thing you must understand is that to make money, you have to sell something.....whether offline or online.

In this case, what you need to sell is a service.

The following services are good enough:

1.) Landing page design
2.) Web design
3.) Copywriting
4.) Lead Generation
5.) Media Buying
6.) Email Marketing


Any one of these skills can be sold as a service online.


Who needs these services?

==> Businesses

Small businesses like Dentists, Plumbers, HVAC companies, Lawn care, Pet care, Jewelry, etc

NOTE: Please for this, you might have to ignore Nigerian business. Our goal is to make $1000 in the shortest time possible.

Where can you find these businesses?

1.) Facebook
2.) Instagram
3.) LinkedIn

For instance, for Facebook and Instagram, you can do a search for "Lawn care services in Austin".

When the different available services pop up, hit them up individually with a cold message about what you can do for them.

I have cold email and messaging scripts that do wonders, hit me up in the comments to get it.


For LinkedIn, sign up for LinkedIn Sales Navigator, search and create an account. The first month is free....

With this tool, you can reach business and personal brands directly with your message.

If they reply with interest, quickly schedule a Zoom or Skype meeting with them at a convenient time. Depending on the service you offer, you can charge anywhere from $200 per task to $2500 as a sum per month.


Pricing is very important.


To make $1000 in a month, you only need 5 customers who will pay $200 per task.

OR

1 customer who will pay $1000 for a month's worth of work


Negotiate with care but at this point, you get the gist of what your pricing should be.


To receive your payments, you will need any one of these:

- a PayPal account (indicate in the comments if you want it, I will send to you for a token)
- a Payoneer account
- a Paystack account that receive foreign payments
- a Flutterwave account that can receive foreign payments

All you need to do is send them a payment link and when they pay, you receive your money.

NOTE: Make sure that they pay before you begin work. Payment validates the work commencing.

So now,

- you know about services to offer (please focus on one or two)
- you know the types of businesses that need your services
- you know where to look for them
- you know how to get in touch with them
- you know how to receive your money


I know a lot of people will be wondering the easiest service to sell for $200-$500 per task.


I will tell you for free - it's Landing Page Design.

It's quick to deliver, has little or no challenges in creating one. Within an hour, you can easily set up a professional landing page for a client and enjoy your funds.

Hello, I will advice that you do one of two things:

- Cold DM brands on social media. Do at least 20 on each social media app you have daily
- Get LinkedIn Sales Navigator or some other lead generation tool and reach out to decision makers of brands.

As far as trust is concerned, they will have to either trust you or pay 50% of your money first.....the remaining 50% will be after job delivery.

However, if you have social proof or good reviews from past clients, it can make them trust you more.

In addition, let them know you have a presence online. Show them your social media accounts to increase your credibility. A serious client should be able to take the risk if you provide all this.

You need a computer for anything design. Depending on a person's abilities, using a phone in the mean time could work.

Research a niche then find their social media accounts, use cold DMs on social media and outreach with Sales Navigator to prospect.

It's a game of numbers.
