Are you stuggling to make a living online? Do you understand about websites and online marketing? Got any knowledge of SEO and SEM? Are you overdosed with all the ‘gurus’ out there emailing you and trying to get your money for the latest ‘must-have, guaranteed-income crock of gold?’ (Or is that crock of s**t!?)

Let me ask you a very simple question: Can you tear yourself away from your computer and go out there in the big wide world and TALK TO PEOPLE? You remember that, don’t you? Social interaction with real human beings!

Here’s an extremely simple method of earning real money for anyone with a modicum of website/online marketing knowledge: Get your shoes on and visit your local small to medium businesses and start talking to them about their websites and their online marketing strategy.

Chances are you will discover that most of them won’t have one! Or if they do have a website it won’t be working anywhere near as effectively as it should. Guess what? A good percentage of them will happily pay you to redesign, or market, or optimise their site for them!

This is not fantasy, my friends, this is fact. I know because I do it and have been doing it for quite a while. And it pays very well!

Now I’m not the world’s leading web designer or SEO guru, but I know enough about these things to be able to make a big difference to the average website. One thing is absolutely certain and that is that I know a damn-sight more than most small business owners.

They are so tied up in running their business that they just don’t have the time, or inclination, to worry about a website. They probably paid some agency a fortune to design a pretty site for them that now just sits there, lost in the mists of Google, and is not working for them.

You’ve just got to go right in there and talk to them. Find out what they need and give it to them. Offer your expertise to get their site noticed and working and they will be more than happy to pay you for the privilege - and pay you handsomely!

Believe me, once you have proved that you can do what you say, you’ll have a client for life. A client you can charge a monthly hosting/webmastering fee. A client who will be open and willing to listen to your next ideas for improvement and optimisation, and who will pay you again for them. A client who will be happy to recommend you to his friends - and to anyone else who’ll listen!

Think you can’t do this? If you’re doing it for yourself at the moment to earn a pitiful few dollars with Adsense or affiliate programs, why can’t you do it for someone else? And in the process earn yourself a real income?

I’m not joking, you can easily make £500, or £1500, or £5000 per site if you just approach this in the right way. What’s the right way? Get off your arse and go and talk to these people! It really is as simple as that.
