One of the biggest problems that plagues aspiring online home based business owners—perhaps a problem you can relate to—is putting enough money aside to start advertising.

If you haven’t found out already, it won’t be long until you discover that paying for traffic is the only way to generate instant results and produce an on-demand surge of leads for your business.

So, in this article, I’d like to share with you five simple services you can either use to build an advertising budget, OR turn into a business all in itself.

We’ll also look at a few places you can go to get started.

Ready? Let’s dig in!

At Home Business Service #1 - Research Professional

If you have a great knack for digging up facts, and consider yourself to be a detail-oriented type of person, why not provide research as a service for other businesses?

There’s no shortage of business owners and fellow marketers that don’t have the time (or ambition) to scour the web for the information needed to create products, write sales copy, craft blog content, etc.

That’s where you come in!

Usually ...
... this will involve doing the research itself, compiling the information you’ve found, and perhaps creating a report that puts it all together.

Once you’ve established yourself and get some client feedback, it’s not uncommon to charge anywhere between $50 to $75 per hour, or a flat fee of $200-$1,000.

(Not bad!)

To get started, check out sites like Guru.com or Elance.com.

At Home Business Service #2 - Copy Editor

If you’re not keen on writing the actual copy, but are great at spotting errors, copy editing may be another service to consider.

As an editor, you’ll focus on the “5 C’s”:

1.Clarity
2.Correct grammar
3.Comprehension (ease of reading)
4.Conciseness
5.Consistency

Obviously, you’ll need great writing and grammar skills. An additional skill set many publisher might find attractive, is knowledge of how the publishing industry itself works.

At Home Business Service #3 - Consulting

As I’ve mentioned in my posts before, turning your knowledge into value and exchanging that value to others for cash is an enjoyable way to earn a living.

Although you can go the route of info marketing, as I’ve mentioned before, another format is consulting.

Think about some of the types of consultants that exist already:

- Nutrition consultants
- Pregnancy consultants
- Safety consultants
- Business consultants
- Life coaches...
- Parenting coaches...
- Fitness consultants/coaches...
- Home organization consultants...
- Financial consultants...

...pretty much any skill or area of knowledge that can be taught to others, can be positioned as a consulting opportunity.

Similar to information marketing and creating products, make a list of your current areas of interest, talents, etc., and see what you come up with.
