Hello,

I apologise for posting this, you might have seen tons of posts like this already...but I felt like I should give it a shot maybe my life will be better, who knows.

Basically I'm a freelancer (recently graduated), sometimes I work for people or I make my own website, my monthly income is about $1000 (more/less) and I feel like it's low based on the hours I spend.

I'm looking forward to try something new like affiliate, auto-pilot or whatever it takes to improve myself, I'm up for it.

Maybe you can suggest some ideas based on my skills:
Web development
Linux server managing
Product resell (used to sell digital stuff in ioffer.com I have +4500 deal with %100 positive feedbacks)
etc..

Looking forward for your advices, I'll really appreciate any help.

    Can you teach other people what you know how to do?

    I would start right there. You could offer a 12-week training on Web development, or whatever you enjoy doing the most, and price it at $97 dollars for starters.

    Use an online meeting service to host and record your trainings each week. Then, take the same recordings and offer them as a lower priced self-study course.

    Some ideas to get you started.

      Good idea! Selling your own product is one of the best ways.

      Give Up? Do it now so that you regret later

    So...WHO are you attracting right now? Who's talking to you? Who can you get a message in front of without much effort or expenditure?

    Because who your audience is is MUCH more important than what product you'll create.

    Everybody can create products. But if your audience doesn't want them, you've wasted your time.

    If no one knows you exist, you've wasted your time.

    Tell me about what kind of traffic you can get, numbers and attributes, and THEN we can match up what problems they have with what solutions you can provide.

    Do not go out there and blindly make something. Ensure there's demand, first.

    I also support selling produce online. If you have your own product it's more better. Carry on!

    To build on what DotComHelp suggested, maybe a series of Khan Academy-style tutorial videos on Web development, Linux server management, how to work digital goods on ioffer (I'd actually be interested in watching this one). Honestly I don't know the best way to monetize these, but something along the lines of posting on Youtube and getting passive advertising revenue for them.

    You can make big money in affiliate sales, product creation, and teaching others. Many marketers can do this, but are too crazy to think about how to promote themselves the right way.

    I would start a simple affiliate marketing business. I would promote products that allow a recurring commission every month (webhosting, porn, membership sites, etc). This way you get paid every month for as long as the buyer remains in the program, plus you don't have to lift a finger after they buy. You just have to do the marketing, and the rest is taken cared of.

      Good for you, seriously !

      I would make that one of your top priorities. As I have continually said here at WF on a regular basis 'it will take you far'.

      I would keep working at your English and start working on the video course on Web Development. If you are proficient at it , you can separate yourself from the competition and do well !!

    Creating own digital products are much better. They make you a leader in your niche if you provide true value.
