Obviously you have internet access or you would not be reading this! So I know you want to make money using your computer at home, or perhaps just working from an internet cafe anywhere in the world. It's the great new breakthrough in home based business: if you can access a computer then you have a world of income opportunities at your fingertips.
So let's consider some of the many ways you can start to make money from your computer at home.
First of all, a computer is a typewriter or word processor. Get some business leaflets printed and circulate these around local offices and shops - charge a set rate and offer to do typing, letterheads, and general word processing for local businesses. It is a much better solution for a business to hire you pro rata than to hire a secretary!
Take this idea further and offer to produce a short report highlighting the top benefits the business offers its clients, along with any news items of recent improvements or exciting new contracts gained, or new staff appointments, or new premises. Create your report of about 10-20 pages as a pdf file. You can store this in your computer's documents and also attach it as an email to send to the business. You can send it to local and national newspapers and business magazines as a potential press release. This free media exposure can develop a lot of extra business in the long term for any business, and it will raise their profile above their competitors. You decide what this could be worth to your target companies and work out a fee.
Other organizations that may appreciate your typing service or press releases include schools, gyms and leisure centres, community schemes, charities, hospices, self employed small business owners, service businesses, hotels, clubs, societies, colleges, libraries, newspapers, realtors and estate agents, banks: anyone who uses any documents will seek your service. You will find it well worth the modest outlay of placing a small classified advertisement in your local newspaper and other media. Soon one client will recommend you to another.
What sort of opportunities are there using the internet to make money? Well, think of one area of endeavour in your life where you have learnt a skill by experience. Other people all over the world will pay to learn from your experience. So write an interesting entertaining report on your chosen skill or put together a "Ten Top Tips" report and create it as a pdf.
You can sell it yourself and even run an affiliate program where other people the world over sell it on your behalf for a commission: to best do this search for an associate affiliate vendor service which allows you to upload your offer and display it in their marketplace. You can approach blog owners who write on your subject and ask if they will promote your pdf report to their readers. You can start your own blog with an email capture form and use an autoresponder service to regularly email your subscribers tips and links to your blog posts and highlight your pdf report to them.
You can also earn commissions suggesting other people's reports and ebooks to your subscribers. Network constantly with the owners of similar blogs and products to yours so you have a stream of joint venture opportunities you can leverage throughout the year. You may decide to offer a coaching or tutorial program to teach people over several months and charge a membership subscription. This will provide you a regular online income. You could send your subscribers pdf reports each month or week along with video or audio presentations to provide an interactive experience. Interview other people selling in the same field too.
If you need to make money quickly from your computer at home, then the fastest way is to sign up to freelance writer websites where people who need content for their websites and reports offer work. You will have to work hard to make money in this but you can get started in a few days and be earning a steady stream of cash using your computer to type articles, blog posts, and ghost write reports and membership content. Usually the job is posted on the freelance website and you bid on the job, stating how long you will take and how much you will charge.
The person buying your work will want proof of your past writing so set up a blog and create some good content there with 300-600 word posts on a subject you enjoy. This will show your capabilities to potential buyers of your writing. If you enjoy writing and typing this will prove to be a long term lucrative opportunity for you, and often your buyers will return to you time and again, and recommend you. Some writers gather so much work in this way that they hire other writers to work for them!
So the fastest most reliable way to make money from your computer at home is to become a freelance writer, both for your local businesses and organizations, and to advertise yourself as a freelance writer on the many freelance websites. Then set up your own blog and write blog posts about a subject you enjoy to highlight your work. Then develop pdf reports on this subject which you can sell from your blog or trade with similar blog owners. Then set up a subscriber list using a contact form and an autoresponder to send regular emails automatically to your subscribers.
You can do a lot of swaps and trades with other list owners once you have this all in place. And you can put together a tutorial series about what you do and how you earn money and sell this as a monthly membership subscription. Start today and enjoy new streams of income working from home! A year from now you can create a book about what you have achieved and sell your book online too. You may even decide to pay someone else to ghostwrite this book for you! Good luck and have fun!
