Fiverr

The book I read to research this post was How To Profit From Fiverr With Your Skills by Rolan Bag-Oa which is an excellent book which I downloaded for free from kindle. I was quite drawn to this book because it’s an unusual and interesting subject and although it’s quite short I have heard quite a lot about the fiverr. Basically the idea behind the site is you offer to do a job or request that someone do $5. $1 of that goes to the website but for example if you are a computer programmer and are selective about what jobs you do there is no reason you can’t do several jobs in an hour and make a nice bit of money. One idea behind fiverr is that you are doing the jobs so you can get some references not really for the money but later on you can charge more as you get a customer base. There is a lot of different types of computer programmers and with the popularity of Content Management Sites like WordPress & Drupal you can often get a nice little like installing a plug in or theme into someone’s site and get paid. Other jobs you may come across are things like voice over work, writing a short piece, proofreading, trying a new product and of course lots of others. One of the great things about fiverr is the variety of categories on offer and it’s easy to register either via the facebook page or an online form on their website. They call the jobs you do on fiverr, gigs.

Start A Paid Membership Website

The book I read to research this post was Start A Paid Membership Site by Ansel Gough which is an excellent book which I downloaded for free from kindle. I think this book or ebook is probably on an almost unique topic & would probably buy this book if I saw it for sale. It’s on a very interesting subject & is a business that I think could work. The premise is you have a website that has content on an interesting subject, one example is Japanese candlestick charting, then you offer users either a trial membership at reduced rate for one month or a yearly membership. Of course this is renewed every year and you can make a sizeable income. Of course you make costs like getting people to build the site and it’s probably to get experts in that topic to add additional content. It’s probably a good idea to let users show off their work on the site or maybe do blogs on the site. For people paying for their membership a couple of recommended sites for safety of payment were http://paypal.com & http://worldpay.com . A site for getting ideas for a topic for your site is http://smartdigitalassets.com . Obviously you need a high ranking in the search engines but a couple of similiar sites are http://goclick.com & http://findwhat.com . A site where you can test your idea for a topic for your site and see its popularity is http://clickbank.com . You can adverstise for free on http://www.prweb.com , http://pressbox.co.uk & http://freesticky.com . You can also do an article on your site or your topic on an ezine site and that should give it lots of publicity. They also suggest rather than paying search engines for pay per click you might be better off using a SEO specialist. This book of course has lots more information about this topic.
