The recession has changed many lives all over the world. Millions of people are losing their jobs and are unable to live a stable life. They are unable to pay for their house and other expenses and need to take a second job to survive. Massive multi billion companies are going bankrupt and have closed down. People are forced to cut costs and can just about survive.

With this crisis going on, the big question is, how is the economy crisis effecting you as a blogger?

Even though blogger’s aren’t hit as bad as the offline world, most blogger’s can clearly see that their income is declining since the recession. Our biggest income comes from advertising networks, ad sales and reviews.

I personally haven’t noticed a decrease of clicks or page impressions, but I have noticed that our payout per click has been decreased. Before in the past getting around $0.30 per click has now been decreased to around $0.10 per click or even lower. I personally feel that advertising networks are also having a bit of a rough time and there for have decreased the earning, although I have seen some blogger’s complain about the decrease of earnings, this is nothing compared to other industries such as the stock market or the housing market.

However there are opportunities in the economy crisis as well. If you think logically what do you think people who are having a hard time will do? Yep, that’s right the more people lose their jobs the more they will be reading make money online blogs to look for new ways to make money online. So that means more traffic and maybe more sales if you can rank high in Google search engine.

The main thing is how does all this effect blogger’s? Although this economy crisis has affected millions of people’s lives I still think that blogger’s aren’t effected as bad as the offline world. I still see many massive blogs how still are producing those income reports and are earning $2000 or higher per month. With all these people looking to earn some extra money online I think bloggers should try to take advantage of this crisis.

How does the economy crisis effect you as a blogger? Is it benefiting you? Is it ruining your blog and earnings?

There are many ways to make money online, but if you’re looking for a way to make some quick cash then creating websites for businesses is a good option. Now what I’ll be focusing on in this post are offline businesses as they are much easier to accept your services.

Almost all businesses need websites now days to represent and to help their business grow. If you want to make money online, It’s a big advantage to have a little bit of knowledge on how to code or design websites, because almost everything online involves some  web design, I’m not saying you need to know everything, but having basic skills is a big plus.

Every website gets built using html and css. As I’ve said, I’m not saying you need to be genies or be some super talented web designer, but I’m just saying you need a basis foundation on how to create some basic websites. Having the skill or ability to create basic websites will save you a lot of time and money as you don’t have to outsource your whole project. Now let’s get back to the point, shall we?

So what’s the secret?

Ok, so what you’ll be doing is,  you’ll be offering your website creation services to some businesses that don’t have a website yet and I don’t mean targeting big businesses, I’m actually talking about the start up businesses or small businesses.  You’ll be offering them a proposition that they can’t resist. Tell them the benefits of having a website, tell them that their competition all got websites, tell them everything that will make them say yes. Sounds pretty overwhelming right?

Offer them that you’ll create a whole 5 a 10 page website for only $500 and that you’ll include extra services like link building, search engine optimization, fresh content, updates, hosting and even creating a business card for a little price of $100 per month. That means not only do you make $500 for creating a website, you’ll also get a recurring $100 each and every month. 

You need to make it look like you know what you’re doing and are offering the best deal with extra features included, trust me most people are likely to accept because they know if they approach a web design company to create a website for them they’ll be paying around the $2000 or even more with additional costs.

The best way to start off is by asking close relatives or family to create websites for them. Two months ago I asked my uncle to create a little 5 page website and offered him a discount of 50% as well, so he paid me $250 and I completed his website in 2 weeks time. The good thing is that because he was my uncle he gave me a extra $100, so I made $350 in two weeks time, pretty good ,huh?

Now if you don’t want to take the time to learn web design you can always outsource your project. You can easily get people to create websites for you on popular forums at a cheap price of $100-$200. So you’ll still make a nice $200 or $300 profit.

If your business is going well and you are getting loads of clients, then it’s time to expand your business.

By now, you must be asking how to do that?

Well it’s pretty simple, when you get over flooded with clients you need to find partners or raise your price. Just think about this if you work alone and create 5 websites a month for $400, you’ll probably make around $2000, but if you’ll work with a partner you’ll maybe finish sites quicker so you have time for extra work and this means more money, so you need to see what suits you best.

 Have you ever done this? What are your experiences?

1. 6 Ways To Make Money Online

 Outsourcing projects has become quite a tradition now days. You naturally start looking for ways to get things done and the only way to get things done is by outsourcing your work. Many people may say, ‘what’s the point outsourcing, it only cost money’.

Yes, that’s maybe true but nothing is free in this world, whatever you do in life, everything cost’s money. You have to give and take.

Well, in my honest opinion I have to say that I love outsourcing, there are so many benefits to it and so many people wanting to do the job for you.

So I’ve listed those benefits below.

1.  You Save Time

Instead of spending countless hours trying to design templates in photoshop or other software, why not let a web designer do the designing for you. It’s much faster and the work will be done in a few hours or 1-2 days.

 2. You get quality work

Why spend hours or even days trying to do something and constantly keep on failing, when you can get a better and more experienced person to do the work for you and also deliver twice the amount of quality you was going to produce.  As you outsource the work, I’ll assume you’ll find someone who is a specialist in the certain work you are going to give him. As they say you get what you pay for.

3.  It´s affordable

Mostly you can find people who will work for you for a cheap price. I’ve had some absolutely stunning wordpress and other templates designed for me under $100 by some good designers at forums. While it would of taken me for ever to even come close to designing a similar design. Instead off spending $1000 for a template design from a web design company, you now have the chance to actually get the same quality and work for way….way… cheaper.

As  you can see there are many benefits in outsourcing.

So guys, why do you outsource? What do you outsource?
