    - Content writing
    - Web graphics
    - SEO garbage

    I made about $5k a month writing content my first six months in IM. You have to write a lot to make that kind of money, but I was heavily motivated and enjoyed the work. Then I started remembering why I hate clients.

    I used to toss $20-$50 out the window at graphic designers to build me graphics. Usually I got a half-arsed piece of crap back that is just barely good enough not to demand a refund. Now I have Photoshop myself and just make my own stuff. I suck at Photoshop, but most of what I make is still better than what I was paying for. I think a retarded monkey could probably make decent money building web graphics. Too bad that would involve clients.

    A lot of my friends make decent money with SEO, and some few of them privately laugh about how none of it is going to do jack squat so it's like they're getting paid for nothing. So, you know, great racket if you can live with yourself. And with clients.

    Hey, did I mention that clients suck?

      I remember one client, who was an a/c shop, thought they knew more about web design, than someone with 14 years experience. Did you come across the same problem?

      I got to ask, since, I'm still debating, whether or not, to continue to offer services for clients (and deal with constant changes) or focus on creating products, where if they don't like it they don't keep it.

      What did you decide to do? Are you still offering services for clients? Or developed your own products? Just curious..

      Thanks.

    List building is crucial for serious internet marketers and they constantly need traffic (targeted traffic to their niches) to build their business. Sell something that get results, increase your client's sales and be genuine about it.

    You can also come up with other services like web design or creating your own products where most people find it hard to do it themselves.

    I will say content writing. So many people do not like writing at all so they need someone that can deliver that quality content to them.

    Any marketer's ultimate outcome is conversions, but to achieve that they need:

    -Traffic.
    -Engaging content written to convert.
    -Testing/tweaking to increase conversions.

    Content writers earn more money than SEO guys. I would prefer content writing over SEO.

    Why do you ask?

    If you're just looking to make a service with the highest demand- you'll meet the most competition.

    But if you offer a unique, new type of service- you can probably stand out better.

    Just sayin'

    Without any doubt, Link building is the most demanded service in Internet Marketing. If you want to get traffic, good ranking, high er page rank, you must build backlinks. High quality backlink builders are always in demand.

      I would agree.
      The overwhelming majority of people (imho) are obsessed with Traffic and neglect other vital components like quality content etc but that's just the way it goes I suppose.

    TRAFFIC...hands down.
    Everything we do online as marketers is about getting traffic.
    SEO = Traffic
    LinkBuilding = Traffic
    So...I'd say TRAFFIC !!!

      I don't think that any one aspect is in highest demand, but rather a combination.

      For instance, if you have tons of targeted traffic but no compelling content, all that traffic will gain you nothing. Just as you can have the most compelling, unique content on a site, but if there is no traffic arriving to read it, then it is for naught as well.
