Selling services online is probably the most popular revenue model on the internet for the simple reason that it is fairly quick to implement.
This can be a good place to start from and a great way to earn supplemental cash or even a full time income.
Examples of services you could provide may be to edit a video, write an article, design a flyer, or perhaps create a unique voiceover – just about anything can be sold via the internet these days.
Here are the top ways to earn online income in this category.
1. Sell your services on your own website
If you have a specific and in-depth expertise, like programming, coaching, or consulting, then having a well written sales page on your own website can be rewarding. I do this with my web design, SEO, Social media, and coaching services. If you want to become a highly-paid freelancer, I highly recommend you first build your own online platform so you can share your professional expertise, knowledge, and life story with the world. Here's how to start your first website in less than 24 Hours.
2. Sell your services on Fiverr. com
Fiverr is a big online marketplace offering tasks and services beginning at a cost of $5. Don’t be fooled though, you can make a lot more on Fiverr than just $5. There are people on Fiverr that charge hundreds of dollars for their services. If you're interested in making some side income from time to time, Fiverr could be a great place to start.
3. Sell your services on Upwork
Upwork is the leading platform for online freelancing work, where businesses connect with independent service providers (like yourself) to get work done. I personally use Upwork for hiring; it has never let me down and I always end up going back to it.
4. Sell your services on Craigslist
We usually think of Craigslist as a place to buy and trade random stuff, but Craigslist can actually be a great opportunity to sell your services online to an active and engaged audience. Simply check the “jobs” section and “gigs” section for specific cities and see if anything matches your skills. The great thing about Craigslist is that it is one of the highest converting traffic sources on the internet (think active buyers) which can mean more opportunities at higher pay.
5. Sell your services on Guru. com
Similiar to upWork. If you’re just starting and have no solid track record, Guru allows you to submit premium proposals so your services can show up first on the list which can be very beneficial.
