How To Earn $1000 Online Fast!
Copyright 2006 by Willie Crawford
Almost every day, I get at least one email or phone call
from a subscriber or potential client who is in a financial
bind. Often they need $1000 or more for rent or car payments
within the next few days. They're looking for me to give them
a quick-fix solution, so that they can then focus on building
a solid online business.
I "shudder when I hear someone say that they need to do
something "now" because I've seen so many people in similar
situations make very bad decisions. Often when they
implemented poorly conceived plans it ended up costing them
much more in the long run.
Here are the top suggestions that I offer to Internet marketers
who find themselves in the above described situation:
1) Write an ebook and offer resale rights to it. Currently
Internet marketers love resale rights to ebooks. If you
can put together a complete package that includes a website
that's even better.
Writing an ebook is no harder than writing a high school
research paper and then converting it to PDF format. If
you are really stuck, you could get a ghost writer to do
it for you, but that means you need capital upfront.
Creating a website is no harder than visiting any of
hundreds of template sites (which offer many free
templates) and choosing a suitable template. Then you
edit the template in your favorite html editor.
If you do offer the website with the ebook package then
you also need to come up with the copy. The absolute
easiest way to do this (for me) is to pretend I'm
explaining, to someone sitting across from me, what problem(s)
the ebook solves and why they need it. Then you go back and add
things such as a guarantee, bonuses, and perhaps testimonials.
To get the testimonials, offer free copies of the ebook to
online associates in exchange for feedback. If the feedback
they give you is negative, then that tells you where you need
to fix the ebook.
This won't give you the best copy in the world but will
give you something that can be reworked several times. After
you're out of that bind, if you want to become a really good
copywriter, then you get a top copywriting course, such as the
one I own (Yanik Silver's Ultimate At Home Copywriting
Course): http://www.ultimateonlinecopymanual.com
After the ebook package is created, you can offer it to your
list if you have one. If not, you can offer it prominently on
your website. Make the offer irresistible. You can also offer
it through online forums, and community-type sites, where they
allow you to advertise. In a real pinch, you can offer it
through Ebay auctions, but realize that Ebay buyers are
generally looking for a bargain.
2) Create, or have created, a piece of software and offer resale
rights to it. Practically everything said about marketing the
ebook package applies to a software package. You can go to
numerous sites such as Elance.com and RentACoder.com and
place a description of the software you want created. "Techies"
registered at these sites then bid on your job. You review their
bids, their references and portfolios, and then choose one to
do the job.
There are techniques and intricacies to hiring out work through
these sites. I won't explain them here because there are
countless articles on the topic that you can find through the
search engines. Read several of these articles, and you should
be equipped with the do's and don'ts of hiring out work through
"lance-type" sites.
3) Offer your services. If you've been online for any
amount of time, and been seriously learning the skills
required, then you should have marketable talents. Many
online marketers do the tasks that they do best and outsource
the rest. If you make it known that you are available to
do some of these chores, you should be able find jobs.
One problem that I've noticed in this area is that someone
will offer to pass along work to another person (as a favor
to get them out of a bind), and the person gaining the work
will quote outrageous fees. Don't do that! The person
offering the work will just go find someone who charges
reasonable fees.
The are numerous Elance-type sites where you can go to
list your availability and/or to see what jobs may be
listed. You can also post your availability on certain
discussion forums and community-type sites.

4) Sell an affiliate product using article marketing. This
is one of my favorite selling techniques, and one that I teach
often to "serious content marketers" such as members of Content
Desk where I sometimes help conduct webinars. It's at,
appropriately enough : http://MassiveCashFromArticles.com
My system, which should be easy for you to adopt, is to first
identify a product that's really needed and wanted by your
marketplace. It should already be selling well. Identify the
problems that this product solves. Then you write an article
about the PROBLEMS. Emphasize why these are really serious
problems that your reader really wants to solve. Then you
show why the affiliate product that you are marketing is
the perfect solution. This is a proven formula!
After you've written the article, you can distribute it
to article directories and publishers using article submission
software. You can also use article submission services which
may be a little more expensive (but can also be more
convenient). The software that I use, submits to over 700 sites,
and comes as part of my membership in Content Desk.
You can also submit your article directly to the publishers
of your favorite ezines. Use a personal approach with each one.
Explain that you are a longtime subscriber, and why you feel
that this article is perfect for their ezine. Explain how
their readers would benefit from the article and therefore
be further endeared to the ezine. By explaining the "what's
in it for them and their readers" you increase the chances of
them using your article dramatically.
5) Run a sale from your site of specially selected product(s).
If you have a steady flow of repeat visitors, this can solve
your cash flow problem very quickly. What's critical here is
that you make absolutely certain that the product is fresh,
in-demand, and properly priced.
After identifying a product that you plan to sell, do a
search on Ebay to confirm it's not being sold dirt-cheap over
there. Then do a search on your favorite search engine for
the product, and visit a few sites selling the product to
see what they're selling it for. Unless it's your own
product, or brand new, you should be able to find it in the
search engines. If you see a lot of sites giving the product
away, that a sign that you should seek another product (one
that's not being devalued).
Find, or have created, a good product, place it on its own
page on your site (with NOTHING else), and then direct
traffic to that page. Then use standard copywriting
techniques to sell the product. Prove to them that your
price is better than they can find it elsewhere. Prove to
them that the product will solve their problems. The
easiest way to do this is with testimonials. Ask them
for the order, and make it as easy as possible to place
the order.
Any of the above five techniques will enable you to generate
some quick revenue in a pinch. I've used 1, 2 and 4
numerous times with fantastic results, although I wasn't
in a pinch. The reason that I don't use number 3 is that I don't
like trading time for money, which is what you're doing
when you offer a service. Your earnings are limited by the
amount of time that you can offer. I rarely use number
5 but when I have used it, it's worked well too.
The final thing you have to do after deciding to use any
of the above techniques is to DO it. Make a plan and then
take massive action. Don't over-analyze. That's what
stops too many people from extricating themselves from that
crisis!
