Think of all the wild web services out there in cyberspace, making tons of money, with different skills --invented for our PC USERS' needs. YOU COULD BE MAKING MONEY somehow via your net skills. Having started a cottage industry, myself.. (astrology online, ) I know that one can build a colossal biz from a tiny weensy seed. See --MERCHANDISING MYSELF TIPS
http://www.luckinlove.com/merchandiseindex.htm
*SEARCH ENGINES like GOOGLE which also 'take ADS' are probably the most remunerative of all. GOOGLE makes billions a year but it's very high tech, not something we could do.
*NET FILE STORAGE You can stick files there, they assure they'll stay well but you need to own a server. And if you do, why not become a WEB HOST? ( 5$ a month per client.)
*SOFTWARE sales meaning USED SOFTWARE. I like old software, buy from DAN THE MAN who has a great and very completely stocked underground biz. Ask me for his addie.
*Browsers for money .. ANY OF THOSE? Nahhh, everything I downloaded was free. Just brainstormin' here.
*EMAIL CLIENTS for money yes. They exist. VERY FEW GOOD ONES. I dont use the PAY FOR EMAIL CLIENT, I adore the email client INSIDE NETSCAPE BROWSER, vers 4, a golden oldie. Collates by size, date, subject, sender, all these features are OH so very necessary!
*FILE MANAGERS as I.E. is cumbersome (I bought ztree, very happy with it.) http://www.luckinlove.com/filemanager.htm
*GRAPHIC organizers, I USE a Croatian one IRFANVIEW, and it's free.
You can download it right now. Sizes graphics, changes light/ colors
One should pay the guy a tip, it's that good. However
PICASA is also free. So we're talking
profits today, these don't qualify.
*RESALE of YOUR STUFF --CLASSIFIEDS. EBAY made bank. They are the HENRY
FORD of the field. But say HARLEYS, or COSTUME JEWELRY ONLY...specialty
fields, that'd be a good go. VINTAGE PATTERNS is amazing. A Vogue pattern
from 1955 can go for hundreds! WHO KNEW!
*PAYPAL. Not just buying stuff online. THEY WILL do your complete banking.
My gal pal and I pull up to MCDONALDS, she pays the bill with her PAYPAL
CREDIT CARD. But here's a new riff: AN INTERNET SENIORS DIRECT DEPOSIT
BANK
would do very well. SENIORS are getting clipped bigtime these days
by
CITIBANK and others. Receive your soc. secu check there, direct deposit,
they want 8$ a month fee! THE CRUMMY GYPSY THIEVES. So if you rec'd
our
check, we could use a credit card off it to pay rent, you issued checks
(for a fee of course,) you'd make bank.
*CRAIGS LIST type OMNI-classifieds. Hardly any money there cuz craig
is
free except for a few employers seeking hirees. RECYCLER mag a fave
in L.A>
went online. WHo knows if that end of their biz makes money. I know
the
newspaper did and it's still out there. SOld for a buck. Maybe they
have
some paid ad section I don't know about. I know they do have advertising.
*Search Engine optimization. where you help people reposition their
websites so they rise to the top of google search results.
*WEBSITE DESIGN. If you can throw my text onto something artistic, add
MY
CHOICE of graphics and charge me under l00$ I know it can be done in
an
hour or less, cuz I do my own....you have a great net biz.
*AD PLACEMENT - There are folks who write me reg saying 'can we put
an ad
on your webpage.' they won't tell me how pitifully little they wan
tto pay
me so I ignore them. But that's a job.
*AD PLACEMENT on your own site, I hear that sites make a lotta money
if
they have ads. There's a comedy writer gal who stated she makes 40k
a month
off ad hits. every month. I'll ask my daughter for her name, she's
a big
fan. It's a young mother. Heard of that one?
NOW, you tell me, what other biz could YOU DO, something of your own
invention, aligned with what YOU dream of having or what PEOPLE REALLY
NEED
and will pay for?
I thought of one. I send in a graphic, a gif or jpg file, the cottage
industry owner is told to give it a banner of grapes, photo shop
in a glass of wine in my hand, or make my cat drink out of a wine
goblet... and insert a poem that I wrote about cats getting too
gourmet, so that it's a greeting card for Thanksgiving. I pay
like about l0$ for the service, get a finished photo shopped
humorous piece of NET NOSTALGIA to send to my family and pals.
Two of my kids are profesh photogs who use the net for their WEBSITE of course but they only work by shooting you in person. Seems to me they could invent something radical and ritzy involving targeting "never meet you" totally online services that would attract netsurfing potential customers for photo services, like maybe PHOTO SHOP something up for them...to send by email or post office. Ferinstance:
a.) turn my headshot thinner, put my head on a groovy bodySo, that's my brainstormin' idea contribution to makin' moola with yer machine!
b.) take my wedding pic, make us into two pussy cats
who just got married, she's got the veil.
c.) Take my family picture, set us in a gorgeous flowery meadow.
d.) mail me back frameable hard copy 8 x10.
You got an idea or two? Answer whatever comes off the top of your head.
