By Being an Internet Provider Seniors Can Make a Reliable Income
One of the ways to make money when working on line is to be an Internet provider. There are many programs on the Internet that would have you believe that all you have to do to make money at Internet marketing is to put up a web site and promote a product. However with an estimated 182 million or more websites on the World Wide Net this is not quite as easy as some might like to proclaim. It is one thing to have the most beautiful site full of valuable content and another thing to get traffic to the site that will make a return on investment.
With all this competition combined with the very steep learning curve that most seniors encounter when starting to work from home; it is often difficult to establish an income. While establishing their online business it helps to pay the bills by becoming an Internet provider. The question is how to do this. With all these various sites it stands to reason that many, many of them are in need of some kind of help. It becomes a matter of marrying the needs with the talents that the new Internet marketer possesses. The following suggestions just begin to scratch the surface of services that are needed.
Types of Writing as an Internet Provider
-
Content Material
All the websites need to have content. Most people that search on the Internet are looking to either solve a problem or to find out some information. They want to find a quick, accurate, easy way to find an informative answer to their need.
Writing for other websites can be done as a ghostwriter. In this case the writer produces the content for someone else to place on his or her site. As a ghostwriter there is no recognition of the writer. The buyer of ghostwriting services uses the material as if they had written it. The content in the material becomes the property of the buyer.
Content writing can be done as a regular writer to someone’s site. In this case the writer uses their name as the author of the article. The guest writers may post this content to the site themselves or the Webmaster might have to approve it first.
A third way to write for the Internet is by setting up a site that sells Private Label Rights articles. In this instance the writer creates generic articles about a variety of subjects and sells these articles to multiple buyers.
-
Article Writing
Similar to content writing in this case the writer produces a series of articles to be posted to article directories, press releases, email broadcasting, and blogs. These articles are usually informative and do not promote products.
-
eBook Production
The ability to take a subject and turn the information into an eBook is a skill that many webmasters are seeking. They can use these books as freebies to build up their lists. They can put their own links into the book and make revenue from affiliate sales. They can use the book to establish that they are expert in the field.
-
Translating
A writer who is fluent in other languages can translate existing material and make the information available to a broader audience.
-
Transcribing
Many courses are developed in video or audio form and there is a need to have them transcribed into written material. For the marketer who created the course the ability to deliver their course in video, audio, and written form increases the value of their product.
Media Production
-
Video Production by Internet Providers
Video is king these days. We now have middle-aged people who do not remember a time when there was not television in their lives. Out current generation is growing up with smart phones, computers, iPads, Kindles, and other tablets. Almost everything in their lives is visual. They expect their information to be delivered in a visual format. There are very few Internet sites that don’t have a need for video content.
As well as producing videos there is a need for video editing. Many webmasters have their own videos that need a bit of tweaking to make them professional offerings.
-
Audio Production
Everywhere that we go a good percentage of the population has earphones in their ears. It does not matter if you are walking, driving, on a bus, train, or airplane people are plugged in. If a course is delivered with a MP3 component it is more valuable than one without. Service providers with good voices and the ability to deliver a message in a clear manner are in demand.
As an Internet Provider Be a Technician
It is not possible to know everything that goes into creating a website. Anyone who has created a site knows how exacting the correct coding is. A choice must be made in developing a site where the time is to be spent. For many “newbies” and particularly for seniors new to the Internet the language that is used to construct a site is like learning a foreign language. This takes time. For people who have the knowledge and skills to do the backend work of setting up and maintaining websites there are endless opportunities.
Web Technician
Web technicians are involved in the backend of a website. They concentrate on being familiar with the language and technical side of a site that makes it user friendly. They are able to make a site visually attractive, easy to navigate, and free of program errors.
Software Development
Another area where knowledgeable coders can earn needed revenue is by creating a piece of software. By writing a script that allows webmasters to function easier and more quickly a technician can sell this to numerous buyers.
Graphic Designs
Webmasters wish to put their personal stamp on their sites. They do this by having custom headers, logos, images, illustrations, backgrounds, banner ads, buttons, and avatars created. Anyone with a graphic design background and artistic skills can become an Internet provider.
For almost every niche on the web there has been an eBook created. All these books need to have attractive covers to help sell them. As well as eBook covers there is a need for disc labels. There is a need for overall design for web pages, interactive media, and multimedia projects. The combination of art and technology is much sought after. This is a huge part of our visual world.
-
Graphic Designer
A graphic designer uses color, art, layout skills, illustrations, images, and other forms of media to convey a message. For years their skills have been used to plan and produce print media. Now these same skills are in demand by the numerous webmasters.
-
Illustrator
Illustrations are needed to demonstrate products, parts of things, actions, accompaniment to text, and cartoons. Illustrators are needed to put the idea or story into a visual form.
Website Development
Many people want to establish a presence online but have absolutely no knowledge how to achieve this. They may want to sell a product, or a service. They maybe want to impart some knowledge to a particular subject. Or they may want to set up a site to communicate with others such as a site for club members. Although these people have a need to have a website they are not usually interested in learning how to create a site. Many offline businesses are looking for these services. The ability to create and design a website from scratch is another way to be a service provider.
WordPress Expert
WordPress has grown from just a blogging platform to become the content management system of choice. The easy of use, the many new plugins that improve its functionality, and the web based location of WordPress make it a favorite amongst webmasters. For anyone who can learn all the ins and outs of WordPress there is a ready-made market for their services.
These are just a few ideas of the areas that can be explored to be a service provider while learning to become an online marketer. There are many sites that are dedicated to finding these services for others. When seniors decide to learn Internet marketing they bring with them a variety of skills that they have learned through their offline experiences. They have much to offer to the online community. By assessing their strengths and talents they can establish a service to sell to this insatiable hungry World Wide Web. For a senior working on the Internet becoming an Internet Provider is a reliable way to make an income

I just stumbled upon Micro Workers this week and like the format quite a bit. It is similar to Fiverr but the jobs are posted instead of the workers. The payouts are smaller but the time involved is very small.

Endlasuresh It is interesting that you mention Drupal. As a newbie I took a course where we learned to set up a site using Drupal but in the long run we found it was too complicated for our users to post their comments and images. This site is now in the process of being moved to a WordPress content management system. However I would think if one could learn all the ins and outs of Drupal they could find work as an Internet provider.

The other thing that I love about WordPress is the control you have over your site. The fact you can access from anywhere that there is an Internet connection and that you control the look, the feel, and the content is huge.

I think that the amount that you can earn as a freelance Internet provider depends upon what skills you have to offer and what is in demand. If you are looking to earn money as a writer this scale is varied and you have to prove your ability before you can earn top dollars. I do know that there is a demand for writers at the $30 -40.00 amount if you are a very good writer. If you have technical skills I believe there is a possibility to make fairly good money from the start.
I agree, if you can write well in good English and do some good research you can do pretty well as an article writer. And don’t over think it, just start with any of the services described in the post and start working it for a month, don’t hop from one to the other………

Of the lot, I think article making is the best concept. A person can write about anything based on experiences, from childhood all the way to retirement. The list of topics is endless. It is a good way to display your talent via writing and earn some extra cash by selling articles. Writing is a skill that can improve with each article that you create, hence making your content more valuable.
Thank you for sharing.

Jennifer;
I think that you are right. The need for content especially high quality content is endless. If you spend any time online you will quickly see how much poor writing is around. As Google is now putting a premium on good quality content many Internet marketers are scrambling to find good writers.
