Nothing is impossible. I just made another $489.00 assisting some clients in getting domain names that they wanted. Thus far, making $739.00 in this mission. Just have to persistent! Thanks for all the support!
Of course I'll answer. You can try this in your hometown I am going to break this down the best I can. The true money lies in offline land. Trust me, people don't know alot and they are so looking for guidance so when you call them, it's like an angel has shown up on their doorstep. Step One: Look at Craigslist under the gigs. (Pick 5 cities that are considered your favorite) I like that section, sometimes when I am bored. I'll look around in the jobs section. I also looked around in the business forums. Step Two: Make a generic presentation of what services you provide that can/will be easily changed to personalize each of your clients. Why you want to stay local is often times, they like seeing a face to the work. You also get more money this way. I know some of you will think this is cold calling, but it isn't. You are going after someone who needs a service. You need them, they need you. Always collect your money when in person. Cashier Check's are good so that you can document the fact that you received the funds in hand. IB P.S. I'll have more tips as I get around to it!
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, you can achieve." - Napoleon Hill Can you do it? Yes! Will it be easy? No, or else everyone here would be doing it instead of whining about how it's impossible. Go get 'em! I would love to see you hit that goal!
OK! I have some more tips for you guys! Imagine what you are the best at, and don't tell me because I probably couldn't handle it, hehe. You having a hard time reaching mass audiences? Go to networking functions. A great place to find these types of meetings is meetup.com. You know, while I think its great to go meet up with like minded people, I also believe in the power of networking with people outside the business room. Go to a beer lovers group, trust me when I say that you'll meet some utterly great people that you can bounce your ideas off of. I know this may sound funny, but drinking and brainstorming truly can have a purpose in life. I think some of the greatest ideas probably came from drinking and this exact dialogue. "Hey, man." "Yeah dude?" "I think we should start snufflelufugus.com and promote snuffle stuff." (whatever this means) "Yeah! Dude, we can do blasi blah, cradi crow, blah blah..." DISCLAIMER: Be sure to have a notebook handy at all times, trust me. I never leave home without it. BOOM! You now have an idea in motion and you are ready to roll.. Get it?
I made a commission off helping an offline business get in contact with a programmer to create a program, I made 10% of the project price.
It has been very interesting watching your progress. If the amount reported is true, whether you meet the goal or not, congratulations! I got the moral from your story, hard work. Keep it up.
