The path to financial support
Your pathway to getting financial is one based on learning different skills in this new age of the internet.
Skills that can make you stand out from a small crown and become in demand and paid handsomely for what you create.
You will have to invest some time to do this and maybe a little bit of money but nothing that will hurt you.
If you went to University to do a degree you would expect three to four years of the daily grind and then have to find employment and spend more time learning.
The Internet is the same but the secret to making the path quicker is one that most never consider.
I have just Googled making money and there are so many wonderful opportunities that promise much but take your money and not take you to a destination
That's one of the problems with the Internet, there are a lot of scams and fraudsters and they are hard to spot until it's too late.
A recent example was a plan called MOBE, this drew in people from all over the world who invested an initial $49 and then got sucked in to further commitments in the tens of thousands, of which, most were financed.
Yes, I paid my $49 but watched from the sidelines as this great business was wound up after several years and closed or liquidated by the US feds as a Pyramid Fraud covering hundreds of millions of dollars.
Investors were left out of pocket.
Ideas for making money
The single secret to internet success
Over many years I have had to learn this as I darted around the internet looking for pots of Gold.
I started my journey because my fixed day business needed more customers and I wanted to learn how to get them and not pay others.
I went to Website building, SEO, Building lists, email and Social Media to find the solution. As a trainer and coach, the solution I have found is to concentrate on a single item before you move on,
Get one media right before you move on to the next.
The many directions you can take on the internet
I believe that the most needed and easiest thing to get off the ground with is emails and newsletters.
We have talked about different Social Media and YouTube along with other ideas however let me explain.
Local businesses need to be involved in both email marketing and regular newsletters to stay ahead of their competitors. I see it every day and the more successful people get someone to do it for them. They are too busy running a business.
Using their customer list enroll them in Constant Contact or AWeber or similar prepare a newsletter list of everyone then an Autoresponder list for the categories.
It's not all that hard with a bundle of training available and a consistent income for you. Once you have your templates set up it becomes quite easy and to invoice someone, a grand a month is nothing when they see the business coming through their door.
Within a short distance from home, I have five Fish and Chip take out businesses, I have tried them all but one stands out because he emails me with specials.
The shops were not the last business to start, nor the first and certainly not the closest.
They had in-store contests and giveaways when you supplied your contact details at the store to gather a list. They asked for your details to register you as a customer and they work on the list.
Are they the best Fish and Chips, probably not but what I can tell you is they are the busiest by a long shot?
Ways to make money at a restaurant
Best way to make money
Another example is a quite famous restaurant near the city. Now, this restaurant is mostly fully booked for months ahead, particularly on weekends so you always need to supply your contact details when you go there.
When they have a slow night, and it does happen, they shoot out a message saying tables are available on this date. First in best dressed and they fill the tables.
A few emails and 100 odd seats spending $50 each makes a massive difference to the night.
The signwriting business sends out a newsletter every month with details of the latest Vehicle wrap. You know when they cover a car with signs of the business. This is not everyone's thing and I might never get it done but I would surely recommend them when asked. In addition, it is advertising for both him and his customer so a good deal.
More ways to make money
The curtain and flooring business sends me mail with the season changes. He grabs a supplier and they together promote what is coming up for the new season. One sale would pay for this for a long time.
A Car Tyre company emailed me with Motorsports and Car news, I bought my tyres there so I got on his list. In actual fact, he started it because of my influence. He is a customer in another area and listened to me
The local real estate company sends an email with all the buy and sell news and local houses for sale and some business stats.
A common element in email marketing
The one thing that they have in common is that they are not selling anything, they are providing news and entertainment and having a future customer touch.
Consistent touch is essential in any business and this is an easy and cheap way to do it
A bit of education first up
Doing a bit of research and for free the Wealthy affiliate is a great place to start to get a grounding on all things Internet. I also like Ryan Deiss at Digital Marketing
This may cost you but see if you can get his email book for free. However, you will learn from them as a guide
Go to my main page and have a look at some of the other posts I have done. We will show you how YouTube will work and which Social Media is best for you.
How to build a list, SEO, and keywords
Making money is easy if you know how. I can give you some ideas but only you can implement them.
It's just one of those things that only takes a bit of training and knocking on a few doors. If you do the first ones for free or commission-based, get one going and then build a full or part-time job.
