1. Goto fiverr.
2. Find a niche related to local business (I would suggest video marketing, example animated videos, whiteboard videos, spokesperson videos etc)
3. Google for local companies and write down their emails (I suggest 50-100 per day)
4. Mass email them telling them you are a local freelancer looking to create a video for them that they can use on their website, youtube etc)
5. Charge them HALF the fee up front and HALF upon completion. (Example if the fiverr gig will cost you $25 dollars for a 30 second video charge the company $95 and take HALF upfront) ($47.50)
6. You're now $47.50 up. Pay $20 to the fiverr guy to make the video. You're profit is $27.50 ALREADY. Upon completion send the video to your customer and they pay the remaining half (Another £47.50)
Total profit on just one sale after just a few days is $75.00
TIPS :
1. When ordering from fiverr find someone with a good level of sales experience, good amount of jobs completed and who ideally does free revisions (as some companies will ask for changes)
2. It's a numbers game. You may only get 1-3 companies agree to this out of 200-300 emails. Keep trying for a week!
3. I used the figure of $95 as an example. If you feel you can charge $200 / $500 / $1000 for the same video then by all means go for it!
In short. This will make you some quick money for free and without skills. I'm not saying it will make you a millionaire but it will get you on the ladder.
