How to get business by promoting your services? Need a little help, please.

Is offering your services the fastest and the most efficient way to start making money online without putting anything down and working 1-2 hours a day? (I work full time)

I've heard that offering services would be a good way to make initial capital. Is it true? If yes, where do I look for customers? How much should I charge, etc.? Can somebody PM me if you have experience with these services. I am familiar with niche and keyword research, on site and of site SEO, Adobe Photoshop, Power Point, and other software programs. Can think out of the box (I think) and generate good ideas. Not afraid of any challenge.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. If you think of other efficient ways to get started, please, comment, as well.

    I absolutely agree that starting from scratch is a good idea. This is what I did, and I never invested any money into my business that I didn't already make. So it's absolutely possible to do this, and I applaud you for having the foresight to avoid the "buy more" trap so many new IM'ers fall into.

    Yes, offering services is one of the best ways to start with $0 capital. Go where your customers would go to find them... if you're offering IM-related services, you're probably in the right place.

    The prices you should charge depend on what services you're offering, exactly. Take a look at the Warriors for Hire section and some of the popular threads for ideas of services to offer and rates to charge (though I find this section's pricing isn't always realistic; I charged $0.05/word for writing when most in that section charge $0.01-$0.02/word and got plenty of business).

    My advice: try offering services to get investment capital. Then, you can invest in some good courses on affiliate marketing like Jenn Dize's Amazing Niche Marketing (I'm in that course right now and very happy with it so far), and you'll have the money to own your own domain name -- always a good idea for long-term thinking -- and get web hosting.

    You can run this venture alongside services in order to get both quick cash for investing in your affiliate sites and long-term resources in the form of the sites you build.

    Hope that helps!

    The secret to offering your services is not discussed much...

    You need to offer your services at every freelance site you can find as well as all the fiverr clones, there are dozens of places to expose your talent.

    Volume!
