    Ok, I have the solution. You can approach this in several ways as
    will become clear in a moment.

    You know some things about IM and seo, so that's good. You know
    what things mean, basically, and you know the jargon/terminology.

    You have 10 hrs a day to devote to this pursuit.

    You act as a middleman or a broker between businesses and people
    who can provide a service that is related to IM.

    I don't know if you live in a large city there in India. So what you need
    to do is find people who know IM who you feel can be trusted (to pay
    you). Then you ask them, arrange, negotiate a finders fee for bringing
    them business.

    Then, you make phone calls or hit the road and start contacting businesses.
    You basically sell IM services to businesses and make arrangements for
    it to happen.

    You get a cut from the IM services provider.

    It isn't pretty and involves a lot of work and talking to people. It may or
    may not work out.

    Services to offer:

    Small business websites
    Backlinking for SEO
    SEO
    Marketing packages
    Press releases
    Sales letters
    Landing page copy
    Video packages - X number of videos in a package
    Website critiques for poorly converting sites
    Sales letter critiques

    Things like that. It's doable and you'll have to work fast to find
    online business providers and make contact, etc.

    There are a lot of people here in the forum who are respectable,
    and I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems.

    You would need paypal. Might be a problem for you. Don't know.

    But that's an idea. You could/should do it anyway.

    Good luck.

    thanks ken for all the suggestions.. but i dont think selling services to small businesses would work here in india.. here we make money in Rs and not dollars.. so even buying a dot com domain name and web hosting would be costly for small businesses.. although i would give it a try.. but the main problem is that i would have to spend a lot of time contacting small businesses.. i would prefer doing some work online in that time.. any work which can be done online would be better..
    where do i need to go to offer my services.. i think i would try to promote some membership sites..
