Use the Internet to sell your skills

Besides selling products, the Internet can be used to sell skills. Making money from the Internet can be as simple as selling what you do best; that one thing you do well that sets you apart from the majority of people.

What are your skills? If you are unsure, look at what you have done successfully in the past. What business have you worked in most recently, and did you do well at it, and enjoy it? If so, there is a clear indicator of what you can do well.

What were you good at when you went to school? If it was languages, for example, you can set yourself up as a tutor in those languages, or a translator. If you have a college diploma, even better. Few subjects you can major in at college are incompatible with making money.

It comes down, as often as not, to doing what you are comfortable with. Your instincts will tell you what the path to follow is. Then it is simply a matter of honing the business to your key strengths.

Then there's how much to charge. Being a sound business mind includes setting a price that will attract customers, while not leaving you short.

There is some trial and error involved in setting a price, but instinctively you will have an idea what is fair. Some quick research will tell you what comparable businesses are charging for similar services. From there it is all about working to your strengths.
