Capitalize on the Lower Economy by Branching Out! As a full-time professional web developer my income is derived from developing online business plans, designing websites, marketing websites, etc. Just over a year ago I noticed a growing number of people are taking advantage of the software and books and resources available to design their own websites... Now this group is different than the first wave of do it yourself-er's - you know, the frontpage/animation users that flooded the 'net with all of that funky-looking and slow-loading junk with bad code. No, this new group is actually figuring out good basic html code, how to use decent graphics programs, purchasing some of the low-cost templated all-in-one packages - and kicking out some halfway decent stuff... and they are marketing them fairly well too! So what does a professional Webmaster do when they notice this type of trend? CASH IN ON IT. I began publishing Self-Starters Weekly Tips each week - genuinely helping this group grasp it faster, do it better, and have more success with it. After all, I was a do-it-yourself'er - a self-starter - at one time myself ...
... (and still am in many ways!). Real quick this little publication became my passion... and a whole 'nother stream of income for me. It turned out to be the best business decision I've made in a long time... the long list of testimonials from happy subscribers alone makes it all worth it. I offer my information - my trade secrets, if you will - for free... and many of the resources are even free for the subscriber - things they didnt know about, that saved them tons of money in their start-up! I focus in on the free & easier methods, and ways they can get tools for 1/3 the price they'd normally pay... ... but all said & done I make approximately $100-$150/hour publishing. If you're struggling with the changing economy, imagine ways you can implement this strategy in your field! Lynn Terry, Editor/Owner
