Arbitrage/Middle Man Recommendations

by Craig Fenton
3 replies
Hi Warriors:

I hope it has been a good week thus far.

I am wondering if any of you have recommendations of Arbitrage/Middle Man Warrior Special Offers/General Offers that are complete and not leaving out pieces of the puzzle.

I have seen a few and there have been some blatant misrepresentations. One talked about a service that was in high demand and suggested two freelance sites to bid. For an entire week between the two sites there was only one person looking for that service.

Another promised unique tips in gaining clients. When you looked through the PDF File their groundbreaking suggestion "Email 100 people (cold) with the hope that you will get 1 sale in return."

Have any of you seen a product that explains everything A-Z from where to find clients, services that are in demand and can be fulfilled, price points, percentage to take upfront, and should we have at least a working knowledge of the service? I wonder if this is key because if we are outsourcing the work and a client has questions our response time is predicated on the outsourcer getting back to us.

Thank you as always for the suggestions.

    By arbitrage you mean selling services only?
    Well you dont need a pdf for that.Just go to fiverr and find seo projects like for example: facebook likes, youtube views, video creation and then sell them on Ebay for double the price or more.
    Another way is to go to craigslist or gumtree and look up people who need services.You then create a listing in their neighboardhood saying the same service they NEED. Mail them about that ad and they will be interested. After showing interest you just create a listing on 1-2 freelance sites and DONE. This can be anything from webdesign to programming an app or software.
    Good luck

    As you are finding out, most "IM methods" you buy, are not genuine. Still, that is no problem, you will learn a bit from each one, until at some point you know enough to make some money.

    For arbitrage, why not just LOOK for yourself what services are in high demand, and which also have an arbitrage opportunity? It's not difficult to sign-up for accounts at a few outsource sites and observe what is most in demand there, then look at different pricing elsewhere.

    An obvious opportunity is selling article writing on Fiverr, and buying it on oDesk. There is not a huge difference, but there is some difference in price, and the service is in demand. Of course, test it yourself . . . it's very easy to put up a few writing gigs on Fiverr, and even better to continually scan the "wanted"s and reply rapidly to relevant ones, with a custom-worded gig that gives them precisely what they are asking for. Get a few gigs and you'll almost certainly find someone who needs regular work, then find outsourcers elsewhere who can do the job for a bit less.

      Hi Chris:

      Hope all is well today.

      One piece of the puzzle that should not be left out is obtaining clients.

      In any vocation somebody can try to do anything on their own, They may have a Search Engine Optimization business or teach HTML but they key is to bring in business as quickly as possible.

      If somebody is simply posting on a forum or a freelance site it makes them one of 1,000,000. In any industry there are those that have methods to work smarter and more efficiently.

      There is not always a correlation between industries. For example when I wrote my Rock & Roll Books there were methods I used to gain sales so I wasn't lost in the shuffle. These ideas that were successful do not necessarily transpose to internet marketing, selling baseball gloves, or soda sales.

      Industries have their own idiosyncrasies. That is why I believe there have been some WSO's that talk about getting clients (standing out from the crowd).

      I hope you and family have a great weekend!
      Signature
