There are literally thousands of sites that promise you how a few days (at most - weeks) will start making more money online to quit your job for salary, travel the world with your laptop and enjoy life. What they do not tell you is that it is neither so easy nor so quickly.

Yes, for selling digital products, affiliate marketing, online stores and membership sites can earn a very nice amount, and many people do. But it requires months and even years, all that work, dedication and continuous development of knowledge and your skills. In any successful business is well - for joy or pity - no shortcuts.

But what to do if you really need to start earning online this month or at most next?

If you expect to tell you a secret phenomenal, unfortunately will be disappointed. But if practical approaches on the topic, you will see that you really can add a new feather to its revenues. I'm talking about the obvious and frustrating simple idea to advertise your services on the Internet. No effects, fireworks and the promise of thousands of dollars per month. Painful, but fair. Here's what I mean ...

First. You have nothing to offer to potential customers. And you certainly have. Look. Maybe now a profession that is valuable to others, you can perform these services at your leisure. You would know how to make teddy bears or knitting scarves? Maybe you know how to cook healthier or to organize events? Maybe now you have a business that does not meet expectations for revenue, you have to it?

Surely you have something to offer - something that people are willing to pay you.

Second. You need customers. Here comes the agenda building your online presence and promote your services online. Let us examine the basic steps and necessary investments in time and money.

Express plan to launch online services business

1. First step.
Your first job is to think of their brand, to find and purchase a suitable domain. You'll also need hosting for a place to "live" your site. All this will cost no more than 60-80 lev per year. The whole process takes no more than 1-2 hours to 1-2 days (depending on how you choose to pay services).

2. The system.
Now you must install the system that allow you to manage and develop your site. Such systems are many but the most popular and "modern" is now WordPress. It is totally free. Installed for 5 minutes. There are so many opportunities.

3. Vision.
One of the main features of WordPress is the ability to easily manage the design of your site using so-called. "Topics". There are tens of thousands of free and paid themes. I recommend you invest in a premium theme (ie paid). They are developed by very good professional designers and cost between 30 and 70 dollars. Surely a quality theme is a good investment. You can find them in Themeforest, Woo Themes, Templatic, Elegant Themes. Installation and setup will not take more than a few hours.

4. The structure and content.
WordPress offers an extremely easy and convenient tools to build pages in your site navigation menus, news section (blog), etc. You just have to decide what services will offer, for example, to create the appropriate pages to write something about yourself as a professional and contact details. It will not cost you anything and will take several hours to one day. The topic you chose typically will offer expanded opportunities for management of the site, such as a slide show on the home page, easy placement of your logo and other useful features.

5. Preflight.
Now you have your own website - face of your business on the Internet. It is simple and consists of 3-4 pages, but is there and works 24/7 for your business. Review your site carefully from the perspective of potential customers. Does he needed information? Persuade you to buy? Do you? This activity will take about an hour.

6. Start a blog to your site.

There is no need to do anything extra - a blog is just part of the functionality of WordPress. It is important to start regularly, 1-4 times a week to post interesting and useful articles (advice, representation of products, news, trivia) that are in your area and would be of interest to your potential customers. To write in your blog can take you around 1-2 hours a day, but worth it.

7. Create a page on Facebook.
Facebook is the biggest social network in the world and over 2 million Bulgarians have it daily. This is an extremely valuable marketing channel, if used well. First, create a page for your business, then insert your logo and information and a link to your site. Then invite your friends and start writing - every day - on the wall of your page, post links to interesting articles or resources (including articles from your blog), photographs and video - but only those that would be interesting to your potential customers. Communication in social networks is a very "addictive" activity and can take you half an hour to 5 hours a day - you decide how much time you invest.

8. Tell all your friends and acquaintances about their new endeavor, and specifically ask them to share with their friends and acquaintances. Complete chapter 8 Live, email and social networks where attend.

9. Maintain communication and respond to all calls and emails, whether to request for your services or just questions. Do not give up and promote their business online and among their friends and acquaintances.

10. Serve every customer as if the only one. Then ask him for advice and ask them to recommend you.
