People want it done for them
I don't like to create graphics. I suck at making graphics first of all, that's the major reason for someone else to do it, but even with things I can do well, sometimes I want to push a button and have it done for me.
I think there is unlimited potential to provide services that others don't want to do and they don't all have to be technically challenging. Mowing a lawn is easy technically, but I hire someone to do it. Others would argue I could save money, get exercise, get outside, and enjoy the experience if I mowed my own lawn. All being true except perhaps the "save money" part I still don't wish to cut my own lawn.
There are lots of things people in IM need help with and they keep asking questions here looking for someone that can do this or that. If you are good at something, love it, and want to help others you might must have a good income niche if you like trading time for money. Sometimes you have to trade time for money in the beginning.
Some things I can think of off the top of my head are:
Installation of software
Tweaking WordPress and other themes
Setting up hosting accounts
Creating landing pages
Writing blog posts
Writing blog comments
Managing PPC accounts
Doing market and keyword research
Posting on forums
Listing in directories
Doing valid link checks
Setting up autoresponder sequences
Doing customer support
.....
There are more I'm sure. If you are looking for some way to create instant income, perhaps you should consider a service for a while.
