I suggest that you set your sights up a little bit higher because you have to understand that the human mind works this way.
Let's say you want to make $10 a day and you say to yourself, "My goal is $10 a day."
Automatically, your amount of focus, effort, and energy will be geared towards only making $5 a day.
This is just how human nature works.
So if you know for sure that you need to make $50, $10, or whatever it is per day, double, triple, or even quadruple that amount.
This strategy is called aiming for the sun to hit the moon.
You want to go to the moon, but since you know how your mind works, you aim for the sun instead.
This way, you put in as much effort and focus as you need to reach a higher goal with the expectation that you're going to come short.
But even if you do, you still end up making what you need.
Now, with that out of the way, if you just want to make a few dollars a day, resell services.
How? Very simple.
When you go to Fiverr, you'd notice that there are a lot of people doing all sorts of graphics, virtual assistant work, data entry work, etc. for $5.
Some of this work can take hours of physical labor. Others can involve software and take very little time.
What you need to do is go to places like Craigslist where people are looking for these types of services and just basically get a customer.
Once the customer sends you PayPal funds, you turn around, order the service, and just email the reports to the customer who ordered it.
If you play your cards right and you know what you're doing, you will make more than $10 a day.
The name of the game is to buy low and sell high.
Now, there is an investment involved. You need to have a website. It has to be written properly. And it should have case studies.
This is where a lot of people who get into the service arbitrage game fail because let's face it, anybody could put up a website. Anybody can make all sorts of claims regarding what their service can and cannot do.
But words are just words. Anybody can say that stuff.
Why should I believe you? That's what the customer is always going to ask, though they may not say it explicitly.
This is where case studies come in.
So put together a budget and the good news is that it doesn't have to be much. It could be like a hundred bucks and come up with a portfolio with some sort of result.
Ask the service provider for the result because they've been in business for much longer than you.
Usually, service providers worth their salt will give you some sort of testimonial or data-driven case study.
So how much all these cost?
If you use Mobirise or WordPress site builders and ” all that other free stuff ”- your total expenses may be no more than 60 bucks. Your main costs are the hosting and the domain.
