They say the fastest way to make money is providing service

My heart goes out to you my friend...

I can see you want to build something, and you're prepared to work for it, but maybe you need to concentrate on building a skill-set which is saleable first; then you'd truly have something to offer. Knowledge and experience, on top of creative ideas, hard work and proper implementation, are the base of all strong businesses.

You have the desire which is what most marketers are lacking! I would suggest maybe becoming a full-time VA for an established marketer. That way you can make some money why gaining some experience in the process of building up an Internet business. If you find the right person to work for, they can even give you a few tips and pointers along the way.

The best way to learn is by doing, just get out there and try some things and you'll be on your way in no time.

I love the way you're honest about your abilities and what you have to offer, Tenzho. Good luck with your business! You certainly start out on the right foot.

It is impossible you don;t have any skill to offer. Even though it may seem there is a lot of competition on Fiverr (5 pages as you said), you have to start from somewhere. Why not post there and see how it goes? What you should do would be to try to differentiate yourself from the pack. Include a bonus, offer a fast turnaround time-in short overdeliver. That way, you will get a lot of repeat customers and referrals.
You can also offer your services here on the Warrior Forum. If you consider the potential amount of money you stand to make, then you won't see the upfront $20 fee as much. It's just part of the cost of doing business. So pony up the money (if you don't already have it) and go for it.
Other things you can do include:
1. Selling on Ebay/ Craigslist
2. Becoming a broker
3. Becoming an infopreneur and selling your infoproducts on the Kindle, Kobo, Sony, Apple, iBookstore and other tablets. Once you have some success stories from selling on those platforms, you could turn around and create a WSO of how you pulled it off.
4. Teaching others e.g Math, how to play the piano,etc
5. Repairing computers for people if you have the technical know-how
6. Offering to cut people's lawns/ shoveling the snow
7. The list is endless but you get the idea.
All the best!

Yes, you could offer VA services on Fiverr, oDesk etc.

You can also obviously write, so consider writing services as they are among the easiest to sell.

To sell services on Fiverr, continually read the relevant "wanted" section, and reply as quick as you can to anyone asking about something you can do, preferably with a custom gig that gives them exactly what they are asking. You'll get much more gigs that way, rather than just putting up your gig and hoping people will find it among the billions of others

Also look at other popular Fiverr gigs, and think which ones you could realistically do yourself. Many of them are not "skills" as such, like writing some words in the sand with a stick and taking a photo of it! I bet there are plenty of things there that you could do if you tried, so read other gigs people are offering, and make a bunch of gigs of your own.

Hi..
I guess, the answer is : being a broker.
So, you find skilled person and get "commission" from getting him/her the buyers
to get higher commission, just put your service in "warrior for hire" section

service is hard to scale....fast maybe...but time consuming....

There are more people needing one service done than there are who believe they need a VA.

So if you like Fiverr, then I would suggest starting a Fiverr gig about each thing you can do separately.

I might not want a VA, but there are times when I do want someone who will put up a web 2.0 page for me, or do some blog comments, etc.

See which services sell, then as you make some money and can afford a warrior for hire thread, you will start making even more.

Just an idea.

You're crazy man. I would never sell my two hours for $5.

Hi there

You can post your ad in classified ad or warrior hire ad, oDesk etc... and second thing if you charge low rates surely you will get a job.

Thanks

Create a kick butt resume and post it on elance, odesk, etc... Don't compete on $$$.

Put everything you are really skilled at, in detail. Your work experience, etc... Then market your job listing at different locations to get your first gig.

Don't sell yourself short, you will end up delivering low quality work and not being happy.

You should think of selling products as providing services.

When you know people anxious for a solution to their problem then you can provide them a service. You can offer them a product that solves this problem for them.

So the tip is...


If you think of providing a service instead of selling something it becomes mentally easier. Easier to create the product and easier to write the sales copy.

Find out what people need help with and are looking for solutions for. Then... provide them service by offering them the answer.

Kind regards, Ian Stables

You could try Elance, VWorker or Odesk! Build yourself a reputation and you can get from $5 to much more!

Otherwise here too, Classified Ads!

Plenty of opportunities! Create your website and send traffic!

Gd luck

Hi Tenzho,...I would hire your services for that price. Send me an email sometime.

Tenzho, if you are willing to do some VA work at $5 for 2 hours I would certainly be interested in trying you out. I am at the point where I am in need of a VA, and am not currently using anyone. Send me a P.M. if you want to discuss possibilities. Best of luck.

you can practice your skills in almost every subject & program in lynda.com - it costs.

Tenzho, as an Internet Marketer, or an entrepreneur, we don't have to know everything. Only employees should know all the answers, knowledge, and required skill set (by the boss) so they can be noticed (by the boss, again). What you need to find out are the skills you're strong at. Use that or those strong skills as the foundation of your online business. Next step is to determine what other skills are needed to make your foundation stronger. It's either you work on those other skills by seeking a mentor, read forum sharings (just like WF), OR find people who already possess those skills that you are yet to acquire.

As a seller and buyer of services, I don't buy 'what' providers are doing; I buy "how" they do it. Perhaps, anyone can write. The question is, "How well do you do it?"

Tenzho, in my humble opinion, it's you who can answer this. Me, as a provider, I know to myself why would our clients buy our writing services. Your question is equivalent to an employer interviewing and asking you this question, "What are you key competencies that others don't have?"

As others have said, you can buy a thread on the Warriors For Hire section.

What you need to realize is that you got to get going and make your space in Internet Marketing. Buyers see a lot of providers. How do you get noticed? There are many ways but you need to have your own thread in the WFH section first, which will serve as 'your stage' in showcasing what you got.

I would still promote it on Fiverr. Get on the freelance sites, craigslist, and list your service on the Warrior for Hire section of this forum.
