Part of the guide: Affiliate Marketing
Little do most people know, the fastest way to make a living from home is by offering services! Almost everyone is good at something; most of us do have skills. Probably skills other people are willing to pay for. In the world of online marketing, people get all pumped up thinking they’re going to get rich on the Internet…
So they go out and buy a load of courses from guru type people and learn some stuff. After most people buy their first Internet Marketing course, they start implementing what they learn. Suddenly, a new shiny object arrives in their inbox and they buy a new product.
Every time people see a new product, they think it’s even better than the one they previously bought so they go in this loop of buying product after product. After six months to a year, most people realize that they’ve wasted a load of time and money, so they stick with 1 strategy or give up all together. A few months down the road people usually quit out of pure frustration or go on to be a real success.
My point is growing a real online business takes time when you’re starting from scratch. Most people pick stupid long term strategies and end up struggling for six months to a year. So I wanted to talk about the fastest way of earning a living online; services. Offering a service is by far the easiest way to replace your income or start earning a living online.
Most people consider a full time income to be around $3000/month, most people can just about get by on that. Then around $5000+/month to have a bit of a lifestyle. There are over 7 billion people on this planet. You just need 60 people to pay you $50/month and you’re making $3000/month in cash.
Don’t you think you could get just 60 people out of the 7 billion to pay you $50/month for a service of some kind? Or just 10 people paying you $300/month. You can offer services like web design, WordPress installation and setup, SEO, website optimization, fan page creation, email marketing and more. The number of online marketing services you can provide is getting crazy. You don’t even need to be that successful in what you do, let’s say you know a lot about SEO.
You don’t have to be ranking for massive search terms to offer an SEO service. Small businesses are happy to spend hundreds or even thousands on search engine optimization. The same goes for social media, Facebook marketing, email marketing and more. When offering a service you have two options. You can take the money and outsource the service or you can setup your own team. I think SEO is probably the easiest service to offer right now, since most businesses know the value of top search engine rankings.
Local business marketing is getting a little out of hand. Internet Marketers are pumping out local business courses at the rate of knots. They basically keep inventing new services to sell to local businesses. What’s hot right now is mobile website design. Mobile marketing has been hot for years, but now mobile website design. Charging local businesses hundreds for a simple mobile website that works on smart phones?
Yep, the cool thing about selling services to local businesses is that they’re literally willing to pay for anything. Any chance they’ll get at bringing in more customers they’ll take. In fact, I know one dude who charges £500 to shops in return for 1 advertisement the size of a tennis ball… And the advertisement goes on the side a bin. When I went in with the guy and watched him sell the ad space, the businesses virtually handed over £500 without asking any questions.
The dude said “you get your ad on this and it will go on the side of a bin, you’ll get it there for 6 months”… And the deal was done. The business owners asked nothing about how many people would see their advertisement or how many extra customers they can expect. My point is small businesses will happily hand you money for a service, it’s a bonus if you deliver some results. Anyway, here are six services you can offer to almost every business:
You have been paid late before
You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.
Read the contract →Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.

Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.

The bin-ad story is the whole services pitch in miniature — small businesses will pay for almost anything that feels like marketing, with zero interest in measuring what it actually returns. Watched exactly this pattern with cold-call ad reps thirty years ago, different medium, same buyer psychology.
Gus, I think what’s being missed here is that the buyer’s lack of curiosity about the numbers isn’t only naivety. Plenty of small business owners are simply too stretched running the actual business to also become their own marketing analyst, and the post is honest enough to admit the local owner asked nothing about reach or results before handing over the money. That’s not necessarily foolishness on the owner’s part so much as a rational bet that any visibility beats none when you don’t have the time to evaluate it properly. The gap that leaves is exactly why a services business built around ‘we’ll handle the measuring for you, not just the placing’ has room to exist without needing to be predatory about it.
Does the post ever say what happens when that same owner asks for results after six months of paying and seeing nothing measurable back?
This whole model assumes a supply of small businesses who don’t already know their vendor personally. Around here, the feed store’s Facebook page was set up by the owner’s niece for free over a weekend. There isn’t really a market for the stranger with the service pitch when everybody’s already related to somebody who can do it.
Lonnie’s describing something we saw on the company side too — the model works best where the business owner and the service seller are strangers by default.
Sorry if this is obvious to everyone else, but the post keeps saying ‘offer a service’ like it’s one simple thing, but SEO and web design and Facebook ads all need pretty different skills, don’t they? I don’t see how a person new to this picks just one to actually get good at.
