Hey Drop Servicers, Dylan Sigley here!
Welcome back to another video
today i'm going to talk about the three
best ways to make money online and how
you can get started with one of them
right now
if you're interested in starting and
growing an online business be sure to
click the subscribe button and
notification bell
you'll get informative videos on Drop
Servicing making money online
and related topics dropped weekly and
maybe even more than that so let's get
into it
the first way to make money online i'm
going to talk about is freelancing now
you've probably heard the term
freelancing before
and that's because it's become pretty
popular it's basically when
you work on a per contract basis for one
or more companies
as opposed to being employed by a single
company on a fixed contract
instead of relying on one source of
income freelancers take on multiple jobs
at a time
and have multiple revenue streams from
different companies so
it's a popular digital nomad strategy
and pretty straightforward right
now probably the biggest upside of
freelancing
is you can gain a lot more freedom with
how you sell your time
then you do when employed in a
traditional job right
you can choose where and when you work
most freelancers will focus on
delivering one type of service but
you can build up and with enough skills
to offer multiple services over time so
some of the most in demand services to
offer as a freelancer
include copywriting web development web
design media marketing and much
much more and in fact the recent changes
in the world
have made hiring freelancers even more
desirable for a lot of companies
especially around hiring remote workers
let's take
freelance copywriting as an example a
skilled copywriter can work on different
projects
as and when they want or need maybe one
week copywriter can take a project
writing an ebook for a client for twelve
hundred dollars
then maybe the next week write email
scripts for another client for two
thousand dollars
the thing with freelancing is that the
choice is yours about how you spend your
time
and what projects you take on however
one of the biggest downsides of
freelancing
is having to actually find work right
some freelancers can find a handful of
regular clients that provide that
stability but this takes time so
when starting out where do i recommend
you go to find
work well there are a bunch of
well-established freelancer platforms
around you can use like
fiverr freelancer.com upwork.com
all of them have heaps of opportunities
to find jobs or projects to apply for
upwork is the platform i'm most familiar
with so
i'll use them as an example to run
through how to find jobs
upwork is also the platform you're most
likely to find the highest paid
freelancing jobs
fiverr and freelancer.com are more well
known for
cheaper jobs basically so the first
thing you have to do
is set up your profile on your profile
you can list all of your services and
the services you're going to provide
to build instant credibility i recommend
that you reach out to any past clients
and
ask them to leave your positive rating
and testimonial on your new profile
and anyone really that you can give a
quick job to and then get a testimonial
so once you have set up your profile you
can then look for jobs or projects to
apply for
on upwork you can search for keywords
that match your expertise
and find jobs that are appropriate for
the skills that you have
so when you see a job or a project that
you'd like to apply for
you have to submit a proposal this is
basically a job application and by using
the upwork platform
the client can check out your profile to
see how much experience you have
and how well you're rated by other users
of the platform so
when submitting your proposal you need
to tell them how much you're going to
charge the client
i recommend when you're starting out
stick with the rates the client has
already listed
in the beginning you're aiming to get
clients to build your credibility
so it's pointless trying to negotiate
too much but
sometimes they don't have a price listed
with the job
you have to set your pay rate in your
proposal i recommend that you search
around for other freelancers in your
niche and see how much
they are charging then use this to your
advantage your aim is to undercut
these freelancers while still charging
as much as you need
to make it worthwhile right another way
to stand out when applying for jobs on
upwork
is to make sure you use personalized
cover letters
when you're sending your proposal you
want to carefully
read job posts make sure you fully
understand them and submit a cover
letter so that it makes it obvious that
you've actually
read and understood the job at right for
example
if you're applying for a copywriting job
they not only include
links to your work that are published
online but make sure you use your skills
to write a great letter
when you start to get clients the goal
then becomes making as
many of them as possible your long-term
clients
this will help you to build a more
stable income and you'll spend
less time having to sign up new clients
so you can focus on doing more paid work
which is the most important thing at the
end of the day getting paid for your
work so
once you've signed up clients this is
when it's a good idea to try to move the
relationship off the upwork platform
so you don't have to pay them a
commission for every job which i think
is around 30
so that's basically freelancing overall
if you have a skill in demand
there are hundreds of opportunities for
you to sell that service to clients from
all over the world
regardless of where you live you don't
need a lot of money to get started
and you can start today so the cool
thing about it is you can always build
skills learn skills with free youtube
videos and then start being a freelancer
now
the second way to make money online i
want to talk about is affiliate
marketing
affiliate marketing allows anyone to
make money online
when they help facilitate sales for
e-commerce companies but
i do get asked a lot whether or not you
can actually make money online with
affiliate marketing
the short answer is yes with affiliate
programs you can earn extra money and
even a full-time income if you're really
good at it but
like any other way to make money online
success
comes not from what you do to make money
but doing it correctly
and consistently at the end of the day
so affiliate marketing really needs to
have a website blog or social media
channel
you can use to drive traffic to your
affiliate partners websites
you can also pay to promote your
affiliate offers through various ad
networks and other platforms
if you know what you're doing but i want
to be clear
if you want to make money quickly and
without much effort
then affiliate marketing is not for you
you have to be prepared
to put in a lot of hard work and effort
and even then success is not
guaranteed of course just with anything
right so here is what you need
in order to start an affiliate income
business firstly
you need an offer which means a product
or service that you're willing to sell
on behalf of other people or companies
the best place to find an offer
is an affiliate network platform so
these platforms will help
match you up with people or companies
that have offers but are lacking the
time or skills
to promote them so with people like you
that can do this job
for them in exchange for an affiliate
commission fee they're pretty happy to
engage in that relationship so
once you've found a good affiliate
network to join like clickbank
you can then find an offer that matches
the interest area of your website
blog social media accounts etc or an
offer you want to promote through paid
traffic channels
the majority of affiliate marketers use
paid traffic to promote their offer
and you can use advertising networks to
promote your offer like google adsense
and your offer will be displayed
to website visitors on the websites
within the ad network so
it's actually quite easy to do this if
you learn the basics
and most of the work is done
automatically for you once you set it up
and work out how much you're willing to
pay per click now the downside is that
you take the risk
that no one ever buys your offer right
and you still have to pay for all of the
clicks
it also means that you need to have some
money to launch an affiliate business
if you go down the pay traffic route
through your part-time job whatever it
may be
so now you have your offer that you're
going to promote and have lined up
how you're going to promote it your next
step is to set up an account with an
affiliate tracking platform so
trackers are tools that count all clicks
costs and payouts and present them to
you for
analysis you will then be able to tweak
your campaign to make it more profitable
here are some of the best tips i have
and have heard from other industry
professionals
about how to make the most money using
affiliate marketing
find out what other people are doing and
what has worked for them
a great way to do this is to join
affiliate forums
and facebook groups people are always
willing to share their knowledge and
expertise with newcomers
if you ask them because people like
helping other people at the end of the
day it makes them feel good right
so do your research before you choose a
vertical search online to get to know
what you want to advertise or promote
find out what people ask about on
websites like cora and stack exchange
this will show there is a demand for the
product or service that you're going to
promote
test the offer yourself as well check
the office quality and
make sure the whole sales process is
simple and easy to follow
so learn how to write great copy is
another good point
simply writing by this great product
click here isn't going to cut it
most people have a bs detector that they
will use to simply ignore your offer
learn to write concise and sincere
content track everything that you do as
well
having data is crucial for affiliate
marketers data allows you to optimize
your sales funnels
be honest as well it's very important
right don't bombard your visitors
with overly positive pictures of your
product or you're going to come across
as spammy
and desperate provide an honest review
of your offer with all of the pros and
cons clearly listed you'll come across
as much more trustworthy which will lead
to more sales in the long run so
digital ad spending is projected to
surpass traditional advertising very
soon
so there is always an opportunity to
make money online through affiliate
marketing
if you put in the work then you can
expect to make quite good money over
time and
like a lot of other online businesses
you can do it from anywhere which is the
most important thing right
so guys that is the first two ways to
make money online
i hope you're still with me here the
third way to make money online i want to
talk about something i'm more expert in
something i do personally Drop Servicing
obviously right
now if you watch me in my other videos
or know anything about me
you'll know that Drop Servicing is my
specialty it's how i've made most of my
money online
and i now teach others how to do Drop
Servicing through my education company
the Drop Servicing Blueprint so
Drop Servicing is a great way to make
money online especially for beginners i
know you're probably thinking but i need
thousands of dollars right actually no
you can sit up and run a successful
online business without having too much
to invest
in terms of cash and not even much of
your time either Drop Servicing involves
selling high quality services to
businesses
it's similar to subcontracting all you
do is provide a service
and outsource the labor required for
that service to freelancers from
countries
with lower costs of living so since
you're paying a low rate for a high
quality service
you're able to achieve high profit
margins on your sales
and this gives your business a
competitive advantage when it comes to
marketing your service
so your role as the business owner is of
course to find clients or even better
have clients come to you and focus on
selling them your service
at a price high enough that you make a
significant profit
that's Drop Servicing in a nutshell
you're probably thinking that sounds
good and all but
how do i actually get started well here
is my advice and i know this works
because it has worked for me personally
and for thousands of people
following my Drop Servicing Blueprint
content so the first thing you need to
do
is pick a service that you're going to
sell one of the best ways to find the
perfect niche
is to research what other successful
businesses are doing
you don't want to reinvent the wheel at
the end of the day because other people
have already spent thousands and
thousands of dollars
to learn the best way to sell things and
get results so these companies have been
in business for a while so you can be
sure it's working for them
and here's the secret source of Drop
Servicing guys you don't need to
reinvent the wheel at all okay
with Drop Servicing there are some great
niches that you can offer
all of which have huge demands for them
so i'm going to break those down for you
now the best ones right now
animation services editing and
proofreading content writing blog
writing
copywriting lead generation social media
management market research and email
marketing services so
i'll go more in depth into those in
other videos but your next step is to
find freelance partners
and this step is critical you need to
find a team of freelancers
that will actually carry out the work
for each project you secure
if you can't find freelancers that can
do the work to a higher standard
for less than what you can charge
clients then you don't have a business
the best platforms to find freelancers
as discussed earlier in the video
upwork fiverr and student job boards
before you jump in
and hire someone though make sure you
give them a test to do something like
creating a sample web design or
write a blog post also take the time to
review their profile
feedback rating length of years in the
industry and how much they're charging
right
from there create a short list of
freelancers and pick the top
ones make sure that you don't just go
for the cheapest option though
this can blow up in your face if the
quality isn't that good
it's better to spend a little bit more
and get a more talented freelancer to
work with
it's really important that you get this
step right because the client doesn't
know you're outsourcing
and you can't make excuses if you fail
to deliver over the long term as well
you want to bring someone in house who's
working personally only in your team
that is really good so
once you decide on your nation found
freelancers to carry out project
delivery
the next step is to create your offer
let's say you're going to offer web
design packages well
you could then create three tiers of web
design services
gold silver and bronze each at a
different price point
with a different level of service what
you want to offer here is
value not your time let me explain what
i mean here
don't make the mistake of thinking about
it like you're selling your time
like you would if you were freelancing
presenter as a service that provides
their business great value
for example if your service is web
design a gold
package could be logo design and 10
pages designed for one thousand dollars
silver could be logo design and seven
pages designed for 850
and the bronze package could be logo
designed in just five pages designed for
600
these packages provide clear value
potential clients because
for example they won't have to take on a
new employee which can be costly and
time consuming for a business to do
right
that's why they hire externally your
next step is to start marketing your
services to potential clients
if you're just starting cold email
campaigns are by far the most cost
effective way to find clients
you can use google or linkedin to find
hundreds of your target clients
and send them an email with your offer
what i found most
effective is to set up your campaign so
clients are seeing an initial email
and then automatically start following
up with them until they reply so
the aim should be to get the client to
your website
and booking a sales call with you or
even better
buying your service directly or having a
sales person do the course
so this is why it is really important to
make sure that you have your own website
have profiles on top freelancing
platforms having a good looking website
will make you look
way more professional and build
credibility quickly
when they open your offer emails you
don't even need to be a web designer
because
the good news is you can use platforms
like wordpress
shopify or squarespace to build your
website for under 100
even if you have very limited technical
skills now that you're making sales and
delivering a high quality service
you can now start to look to automate
your business and scale up
every part of your business can be
automated by software or by humans your
freelancers ideally
and you want to get to the point where
the whole process from
emailing prospective clients to project
delivery and getting paid
is being automated so you don't do the
work yourself because at the end of the
day starting an online business is all
about freedom right so
this allows you to build massive scale
in your business and the first thing you
should automate
is your sales emails by using email
automation software and setting up
automated campaigns
you'll be able to send out hundreds of
emails a week to your highly targeted
potential clients
saving you a heap of time at the end of
the day it can take a lot of time seeing
these emails
i remember in the beginning i was
sitting on myself it took hours and
hours but
once you've mastered your business
process it won't be hard to find more
freelancers to increase your capacity
as you scale up and with automation
you'll be able to do this very rapidly
at minimal cost
and that's it guys that's how you get
started with Drop Servicing
Drop Servicing is a simple and
underrated business model that you can
take advantage of today and there are
companies out there who need your
services
