Ways to Make Money - Things I Don't Want to Do (please add to the list)

14 replies
Everyday, I see people on this forum asking how to make money online. Most make the mistake of trying to be a fake it til you make it IM guru. What they fail to realize is there are people like me are willing to pay generously for services that they just don't want to do.

My goal for this thread is to have others add to the list of things they don't want to do, but would gladly pay others for.

To get things started, here are three services that are greatly needed, but seldom offered by competent people.

1. Product Redesigners - Have people submit PLR packages. You rewrite them, create new graphics, new squeeze pages, and new sales pages.

2. News Rewriters - Almost all of the news you see on TV or read in the newspaper is rewritten from press releases, newswire articles, and other sources. While evergreen content is good for a create and forget type blog, those of us that want our blogs to be known as having up to date info need current news content written, but we often don't have the time to do it.

3. Customer Support - For those of us that launch products, we want to focus on sales. You can't successfully do sales and support at the same time, so this is where your services would be drastically needed. The beauty of this is that you can be working with several different product creators at the same time, handling support for many different products. This is also a very scalable business, where you could eventually hire other support people to work under you, while you focus mainly on getting new accounts.

    I'll add one to the list because it's fresh on my mind- transcription!

    Working on an interview series and recently finished transcribing the audios myself. Not fun.

    I'm sure there will be some creative answers in this thread, the trick is to figure out what the steps are in different online businesses. For example product vendors have to research, create, write sales copy, recruit affiliates, set up autoresponders, etc. and each of those steps can be broken down. Service providers should try to find what others would LOVE to pay for. Then the sale is easy.

    I'm turning off my sig in this post so I don't sound self-promotional, but I've caught on to a lot of things during my time at the WF and I've started offering a ton of services based on what I read. It seems that a lot of people come here looking for answers, but they don't realize they're asking the wrong questions...if you just watch for patterns across threads and days and weeks, you'll pick up on a new business idea weekly, if not several times per week.

        services that are greatly needed, but seldom offered by competent people.
        This hit a nerve ....

        SEO Analysis and Advice - IMHO, the SEO subforum here, as well as many other forums, can at times be a mass of people talking out of their butt about something they have no clue about. SEO is critical to so many marketers, but if you read these posts they are often contradictory, generic, and sometimes possibly harmful. While I see many offers for backlinks it is rare I see an offer for SEO which may include backlinks.

        Professional Expertise from a Real Professional
        - For instance, getting legal terms and advice from a real attorney with experience on the particular issue at hand. For most Warriors seeking Internet related assistance this does not include a paralegal working in the criminal courts who decides one day he is an IM expert. This does not include someone who went to law school, has never passed the bar and never practiced law in their life, who misrepresents they are an "attorney" offering a 99.99999% discount on something they never previously sold before. This does not include the anonymous bongman3783 who joined the forum a week before and has a $10 package of must have legal forms. It's mind-boggling.

        Graphics Creation - Logos, headers, button, doo-dads, etc., website owners need a multitude of graphics. It appears to me there is a market gap between professional artists wanting several hundred dollars per graphic, and "fiverr" offers shlocking out the same graphic with perhaps a minor tweak, done as quickly as possible without any attempt to get to know what the real purpose of the graphic is. For instance, is it a guarantee graphic, or or a guarantee graphic that fits into a particular web page with a certain type of customer in mind that helps drive conversions?

    I'd gladly pay for video making and marketing, backlinking, onlywire and other social submissions. In fact, I pay for these services nearly every week, if not everyday. I am a writer, so I understand we all have different talents and the more I can outsource, while I concentrate on writing, the better.

    I'm not sure if this would count for anything but I'll just throw it out here anyway:

    I don't wanna have to constantly keep up with what works and what no longer works for getting ranked on the 1st page of google. It's making seo not fun anymore. Or at least not as fun as it used to be.

  • As for me? I want the data entry work be done by another person. It eats most of my time doing it. I get bored to death that I end up sleeping on my bed. Geez! Even if how fast I do it seems my brain does not get creative anymore and I get dumb all of a sudden lol.

    Rewriting content 20 - 30 times so each article is unique from the last then submitting it to web 2.0 properties.

    I've tried the software route yet it just doesn't get it right... Real people are better.
