When it comes to the internet, helping others is the name of the game. When you produce content, the main goal is to pass along knowledge, data, and information to further the world with progression. Technology happens to be the driver in the year 2020; we were already building up and knew this.
We weren’t used to having such easy access to content until the millennial generation arrived; so it seems.
Of course, we had the resources available since the eighties and massively into the nineties; but it wasn’t nearly this easy to access information from all over the world, and from the touch of your smartphone at any time of the day. Now it is.
We’ve reached 2020, and we enter a world of information overload; internet saturation: let all technology insiders be considered the enlightened individuals.
When you utilize technology and the tools it provides, you can make a living for yourself online.
Yes, this is truly possible. It starts with a will. If you have a strong will to make money online by simply using technology, you will move along.
If you don’t want to put any effort forth, then it is strongly advised that you stay at your nine-to-five job as this will not be the right endeavor for you.
Using the internet and technology as a tool to create an unlimited amount of income revenue has never been so accessible in the year 2020.
Tactful Step # 1-Learn About What You Love and What You’re Good At
It is a New Year, start thinking of things that you can offer to the world.
What exactly are you good at? Do you sell services or products? Think long and hard and tap into your logic and inner soul and discover what you truly enjoy doing.
If you use this approach, you will never work a day in your life; as Confucius states, “choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
Are you a well-established doctor? A lawyer? A recruiter? Are you thinking of starting your practice?
Think of moving part of your business online; you may be able to offer video face-to-face consultations that allow you to venture out and yield more income; if you want to, that is.
From writing content to producing video content, whatever industry you are in, you can use the internet to make more money; especially in the year 2020.
A lawyer? A physician? A consultant? Do you make cross-stitch designs? A writer? An executive recruiter? Selling a product? Whatever you offer, try your hand at making your business or hobby grow by creating online visibility in the piles of masses online.
Offer something beyond unique and see your way in.
By drawing an innovative force, you can eventually and fully work for yourself; making flexibility a number one driver in your world.
2020 is a year where more and more people are seeing how they can reach higher than the sky. Space is the limit.
After you figure out what you plan on helping people with, you can move to the next tactful steps. Solve the pain points.
Tactful Step # 2-Stop Being Invisible Online
Create a website for your hobbies; whether you like it or not, you will need to make yourself visible online.
You can choose to register a business with the state that you are in or be self-employed; the goal is to create a niche site.
Websites are a number one hit; have a CMS Developer and an SEO expert design and implement your site; this way, Google algorithms pick up your site and you can gain site traffic and eventual conversions.
By tracking your site products and services, corporations and individuals can utilize strategic charts and data to analyze and improve future traffic.
Once your brand and content are created, make sure to get your website setup, and your SEO squared away. If you do not add SEO (Search Engine Optimization), which includes but is not limited to metadata, keywords, alt tags, snippets, keyword density, user experience, headers, plugins, Yoast, etc.; then you may as well forget about your website, because Google certainly will.
After all, Google needs to properly locate your site; this is where keyword research comes in.
Utilize Google Keyword Planner and Google Console, so you can be indexed properly and make sure all of the CMS SEO components are filled-in via the backend of your website; otherwise, your competitors will surely have an advantage over you.
Tactful Step # 3-If You Set a Budget for Anything, Set It for Marketing
Not every start-up has an ability to spend loads of money on the marketing department; this is why we suggest that if you are going to spend any money at all, that you spend it on social media marketing (SMM).
If you want to grow your online business, you are going to need to be entirely visible; otherwise, your profile will get passed along and the person or company who cared about putting effort into their personal or corporate branding will get noticed.
Be the entity that cared about getting a professional logo done. Extend your expertise and save jobs for the craft experts; meaning, if you need online content to market your new online business, then set a budget and rely on an online and experienced Digital Marketer/Copywriter to complete the work that you just don’t have experience or time for.
It is true, we all have to spend money to receive it back. Once you add more into the economy, you will help it flourish. Just make sure to keep a yearly open tab for your profits and losses; this will make tax season much simpler.
After all, what is most important, is that you are helping people and doing something that you love while making a living online.
Set a budget to advertise your products or services on social media platforms, and start with Facebook and Instagram first. Next, watch your orders and requests roll in.
Tactful Step # 4-Knock On Doors and Accept that the Internet Provides Enormous Opportunity
Reach out to your clients online. Utilize the internet to find your prospects. If you don’t knock on doors, how will you find any clients or how will they find you?
Let other companies and self-employed individuals know what you are doing and what you offer.
You need to represent yourself in the best light possible; you must make sure to properly edit and assess all of the content that you have created online for your viewers to see.
Use online sites such as LinkedIn, Freelancer.com, Upwork Global Inc., Fivver.com, Amazon, eBay; the list extends as there is always a new app or platform that arrives in a moment’s notice. Edit your work with Grammarly.com if you have to.
The internet has created an enormous amount of opportunity; it is up to you to reach out, ask for it and accept what you were meant to achieve.
Tactful Step # 5-Never Give Up!
Don’t give up; it may seem that you are trying and trying in a vast sea of information that never ends, but you’ve got to keep going with ongoing consistency that will eventually prevail; especially, if you are offering knowledgable and helpful consultation services that enhance lives.
There are plenty of people who have used the internet to make a good living online and you can too.
You just need to start by creating a strategy and you need to have the willingness to critique and change it according to what works and what doesn’t.
Research is everything; so before you set sail on your journey to create and move part or all of your business online, remember that knowledge wins and the best experience, credentials, and reviews always triumph.
Keep providing an amazing and top-quality job; make sure everything is properly set up according to Google standards; eventually, Google will reward you with absolute visibility.
By never giving up, you’ll be able to master your skillset and become a true professional who loves the craft that you provide.
