Method 5: Sell Your Own Special Reports… The Fast Way


As I said in the introduction, my goal in this e-book is not to tell you how to build a business. I want to tell you how to make money immediately. If you end up with a successful business as a by-product, then that’s just a bonus.
With that said, it’s important to realize that online businesses don’t usually turn a profit overnight. Instead, it is usually a long process that will only turn a profit after months have passed.

There are two general reasons why online businesses usually don’t turn a profit quickly. The first is that many Internet-based business owners have little or no formal training; and often make serious errors in the implementation stage. And the second reason is that good long-term business plans generally require you to gradually promote your site through things like search engine optimization, cross-promotional agreements, and joint ventures.

While these long-term techniques are essential for business plans, they won’t
work to make you money tonight. If you want to make money tonight, you
essentially have two options: 1) you can use PPC advertising; or 2) you can use word-of-mouth advertising. Other than that, it is unlikely that other techniques will yield immediate sales.

With that said, let’s breakdown the process step-by-step, so that you can
understand how to make a quick profit with this technique.

Step #1: Create Your Product… Fast

When it comes to writing a special report, don’t be a perfectionist. Spend no more than a half hour to come up with your topic. Once you’ve done that, spend no more than two hours researching the topic. And once you’ve done that, spend no more than five hours to write the report.

When you’re done with the whole process, stop working on your report for the
night. Come back to it the following day, edit it thoroughly, format it, and then
create a PDF version. Even though your goal is to do everything quickly, you
should make sure that it is error-free, well written, and contains useful
information.

Additionally, as a general rule, you should pick a topic you’re already familiar
with. If you’re familiar with Internet marketing, write a report about Internet
marketing. If you’re a good cook, write a report about cooking. If you know
something about buying cars, then write a guide about that.

Whatever you do, make sure that you come up with a catchy hook for your
product. There should be something about your special report that others will find interesting; and that will draw them to buy. With the vast amount of free
information widely available on the Internet, it is critical to be able to market your product in a way that differentiates from everything else available.

Once you complete your product, it’s time to move on to the site-building phase.

Step #2: Build Your Site… Quickly

Again, the point of this exercise is to get your product made and put in front of as many buyers as quickly as possible. This means that you can’t take your time when it comes to the site-building phase.

I personally suggest that you register a domain, purchase cheap hosting, and
immediately install a plug-in that will allow you to edit your site using a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) editor. Most hosting sites will offer a large variety of these editors, but I suggest using something simple and something that offers a lot of different templates. Wordpress is probably a good option.

Once you’ve installed the WYSIWYG editor, it’s time to select a good sales page template. Your choice should be clean, professional, and free of distractions, such as links to other pages.

After you do that, it’s time to put up a sales-letter. Again, time is of the essence, so don’t bother with long-copy. Keep it short, sweet, and to the point. Make sure you have a good hook, a number of bullet points that highlight the products benefits (rather than features), and a call to action (to buy).

Finally, add a PayPal payment button. If you want to ensure that you make sales immediately, it’s a good idea to keep the price low (say, between $3 and $7). This will ensure that you maintain a high conversion rate.

Step #3: Advertise

Once you have a functioning sales page, a product to sell, and check-out system, it’s time to begin advertising your product. However, in this case, it’s a good idea to skip SEO and slow promotional methods—and move immediately to PPC and word-of-mouth advertising.

As far as PPC advertising goes, this is as simple as creating a Google Adwords account and making several advertising campaigns. Remember to focus each campaign narrowly. Also, remember to use the root keyword in your campaign multiple times in your advertisement, so that it shows up in bold when people see your ad.
Finally, once you have your PPC campaign working, consider using some word-of-mouth channels to spread the word about your product. If you are a member of online forums related to your product’s niche, you should include a link to your salespage in your signature; and make an effort to post frequently, so that others see it. You should also consider offering a deal to members of the forum.

Conclusion


If you want to make cash fast, selling your products online is always a good
option; however, you cannot do it using the conventional formula for Internet
business creation. Instead, you have to cut out all obstacles that will slow down payments, slow down traffic flows, and generally prevent you from realizing a profit within days.

Using the template I’ve given above, you should be able to make money within days, as long as you push yourself to stick to the timeline I’ve suggested.

Method 7: Become a Freelance Writer

Before we get into this one, it’s important to keep in mind that freelance writing is not for everyone. If, today, you don’t feel comfortable with your writing skills, then using them to make money is perhaps not the best way to go. Even if you work very hard, it is unlikely that you will be able to transform your skills significantly enough to make money with your writing in the short run. In the long run, however, this might be a viable strategy. On the other hand, if you feel comfortable with your writing, then freelancing is an excellent way to make money fast online. With that said, let’s take at your two major options when it comes to sources of freelance writing jobs. Sites for Freelancers If you decide to become a freelance writer, there are two important sites you should join: www.guru.com and www.elance.com . These sites allow freelancers to post bids on tens of thousands of writing, translation, graphic design, programming, and administrative assistant proj

Method 6: Freelance as an Administrative Assistant

One easy way to raise some cash fast is to work as an administrative assistant. Usually, this means doing things like record-keeping, database entry, and other repetitive tasks; however, in other situations, it might mean something like submitting links to directories, managing an affiliate program, or something like that. Whatever the case may be, the only requirement is usually that you be good with computers and with the Microsoft Office suite of products. Other than that, you will probably be given a detailed set of instructions that explain exactly what you should be doing on a daily basis. When looking for administrative assistant jobs, a good place to look is www.elance.com . If you need immediate payment, you should look for one-time, small jobs. Put in a low bid; and offer to work around the clock until you complete it. If you do a good job, there’s a chance the client will release the funds to you within days, which you can then transfer to your PayPal account

Method 15: Use Twitter to Market Your Myspace Forum Product

If you used method #14, you now have an inexpensive, entry-level product, a sales page, and a check-out system. All you need to do now is direct additional traffic to it. While posting on Myspace Forums was a good way to start, there are still a lot of options available for traffic generation. One such option is Twitter. If you’re unfamiliar with Twitter, it’s a social networking service that allows you to add and remove friend as you would on Myspace or Facebook. The difference is that the main purpose of Twitter is to send out 140-character “tweets” to your friends; and, in return, to read what they are tweeting about. Of course, this network can also be used to make money. To do this, you’ll need to start by creating an account if you do not already have one. After that, you will want to begin adding people who might be good targets for your sales campaign. You can do this by searching to see who is tweeting about topics related to your product. You can then
