How to Market Your Skills

Whether you have the ability to go into an office or are bound to bed, your chair or are struggling any of a number of other issues, the internet is a wonderful source that can help you use your skills to make a small income.

Now that the internet is one of the main sources of income for millions of people, it makes sense if you are looking to move out of a traditional 9-5 office job and create income by using your unique set of skills to work from home/online and even be able to travel while doing it.

Fiverr is a great place to start. Fiverr is a community of talented creators that sell their services to anyone looking for a way to make money online. You can find people willing to pay you for the following services, just to start:

Fiverr hosts designers from all over the world, so you may have some competition. But you know what they say about competition right? It only makes you better.

The best part about Fiverr is that you can use it for your business as well. If you don’t have the skills to create, but are an entrepreneur that needs services for a price you can afford, you can probably find someone on Fiverr that is willing to help. After all, this entire post is about finding ways to market your skills so that you can enjoy your life to the fullest.

While Fiverr is one of the biggest and most recognizable sites that allows you to share your talents and skills, there are actually a number of websites that boast the same. Some of them offer slightly different services or greater flexibility on payment options, but all give more options for freelancers and business owners alike.

Upwork is another great option if you are looking to sell content/SEO/Link Building or Outreach. Content is what Upwork is known for, but they do offer a few other services as well and the more things you excel at, the more opportunities you can find.

Freelancer is a third wonderful opportunity to use your skills to create opportunities to use your skills to generate an income.

Etsy is another great platform that can serve creators well. The creators found on Etsy generally offer a different type of good or service than those on Fiverr, Upwork or Freelancer. Etsy caters to handmade and vintage goods that is often catered to the buyer. This is a place that handmade quilts, knitted baby booties, scarfs and other handmade items, such as soaps, or even flower arrangements.

Of course, there is so much more you can do, including using your social media to create earning potential.

Don’t forget to check out Affiliate Marketing channels such as Ascend and Amazon.

You can also choose to actually leave your house and take your skills to your local farmer’s market. People are moving back to homemade items because the mass produced items aren’t lasting as long and aren’t as well made. You can find a market to sell nearly anything these days that you make with your hands. You can sell sweets, drinks, quilts, other sewing projects, t-shirts, socks, notepads, and nearly anything else you can think of. Using your skills you’d be surprised by what you can do without a boss.
