Many people think that you can only make money online with your blog. This couldn’t be further from the truth. What you’re going to find is that there are many opportunities out there that you can take advantage of. From freelancing for other companies to taking paid surveys, I wanted to give you some pointers on how you can make money with surveys, as I do a lot of research on them.
- Do your homework – There are a lot of companies out there that you can sign up with. About 99% of them are going to rip you off or they won’t send you any surveys. If you don’t get any surveys, how the heck are you supposed to make money? By completing a search, you will find that you can find both positive, as well as negative reviews.
- Don’t download stuff – You don’t want to download software, especially from a source that you don’t know. The reason you don’t want to do this is simply because you can get major spyware, as well as other virus related activities. This isn’t going to be good for your computer, trust me.
- Look into their BBB rating – If the company has a BBB rating and it’s higher than a B+, you’re going to find that you can more than likely trust them. Make sure you always check. You can always do this at BBB.org. If they don’t have it, it doesn’t mean that they won’t pay.
- Check for payment proof – If you think you’re going to like a company, check and see if there is payment proof online. A way you can do this is by typing “Company XYZ payment proof.” When you do this, look at the images and see if you can spot a check from the company. Generally if there is more than 1 check, it’s going to be a legit company.
- Get paid in cash – Yes, some companies don’t pay you in cash, but rather stupid things like raffle tickets. Stay far, far away from these companies. This is a nice way of them telling you, “I like that you’re making money for us, but we don’t want to pay you!”
If you can follow these tips the next time you want to make money with surveys, I can almost guarantee that you’re going to find some company that works for you. Remember that you won’t make thousands monthly, but you can make a decent amount!
It is easy to double your earning if you are working as web developer. You can do this by offering many products and shared services to your current customers. Think twice – you would be already working hard for the clients’ web sites. Why dont you offer something more like cPanel web hosting to increase their income?
How you can do it:
Step A: Choose and Sign up a good reseller hosting/web hosting offering account.
Step B: Search for good competitive price.
Step C: Set up all the essential supporting page and the order page.
Step D: Start mailing your customers to know about your service.
Step A: Choose and Sign up a good reseller hosting/web hosting offering account.
Reseller accounts usually cost between $ 25 a month. This is very small fee for a good shared hosting services. Don’t worry about bandwidth, servers, etc. Anything that has already been set up will be a very good option. Reseller plan usually offers some special features in the control panel. These tools will be a very good resource for account management. You do not get these types of tools in normal shared hosting service.
Step C: Set up all the essential supporting page and the order page.
As a web developer, you have to now think about prices and the packages you need to sell. You have to build packages from the scratch. Every web developer must know their customers better. How much server resource they need? What kind of plan will be a benefit for them? Also, make sure that the price of their packages must be competitive to customer’s retention rates. If you charge exorbitant fees, and make a mistake, customers wont forgive. It will lead to sign up for some other agency. But if prices are reliable and affordable, they will be more likely to use and recommend your web design services.
Step 3: Setting up all the essential supporting page
The most of essential part of accepting orders will have 2 pages – an support page and the order page. Usually order pages are integrated easily with the cPanel account which makes the account creation immediately after the completion of payment. On the other hand, you can also activate accounts manually after verification of payment. For example, some clients to register and start sending spam messages immediately. The manual activation is a better option which will prevent that from spamming and hacking.
Alternatively, support pages doesn’t have too much of fancy and importance. It is a simple contact form page. It is important to give proper assistance to the clients.
Step 4: Start mailing your customer to know about the services
Inform your clients about the new services and talk to them. Make them know that it will be a win-win for both, in which you can get the work done faster and in turn they wil be having direct access with servers. You will also be more familiar with server environment, and this will lead to very less bugs. Customers always want their job done pretty quickly. When you make them to know the real benefits, they will surely sign up for your service.
