Hi, Everyone...

ANOTHER quick post (really!)...

I am getting a lot of questions from members that want to earn some quick cash for the holidays...

Rather than answer again and again to them all, I decided to make a short post for the general membership. So...

Let's do this...

Five Ways To Earn Some Cash Fast

Here are five suggestions:

(1) Site Comment Feature Within Wealthy Affiliate.

If you spend an hour a day providing comments for fellow members requesting them with this tool you can earn a cool $100 or more...

Once you have 50 approved credits you start earning $.50 for each 2 comments you make. That adds up fast, and you can cash these WA Cash Credits out or use them here on the platform for lots of things...

Is making 400 comments ($100 payout) in a month realistic? Yes. Is it easy? Yes and no, a certain amount of effort and thought has to be expended to make good comments that add value for the post of the requesting member...

Here are some screenshots of what I have been able to earn over the years from this feature:
---

Note: this includes training credits as well...
---

Note: This is changing all the time, as I do stay active as possible making comments as time permits...
---

It is worth your time, and can be done between all the other tasks I know you have going over the next 7 weeks...

Next up...Capterra reviews...

(2) Do product reviews for Capterra or similar sites.

Did you know that if you are good at writing reviews of products and softwares you can get paid a cool $5, $10, or even more for each review you submit?

The above message I received yesterday from Capterra (this is AFTER I have done a few reviews this month)...I will take that 100 minutes and grab that additional $50, count on that!

I average $50 a month in Amazon credits (same as cash for me) writing 10 reviews of tools that I have used or still do use for the business - they take me an average of 10 minutes, so for less than 2 hours work, I can bank that "money" and use it for Amazon purchases...

There are some programs/sites that pay even more...

The most I was paid was $25 for a software tool that I use every day for my business. That one I did spend 15 minutes on, but that was well worth it - I used that and some other credits to buy a new printer for the office for zilch ($125 plus $60 for ink cartridges - total $185 saved).

These reviews are not hard to create, they help other prospective buyers, and you get some pretty good pay for writing them...

Next up...Fiverr...

(3) Offer your skills to others via Fiverr or similar platforms.

It does not take long to get an account set up and there are some tips and suggestions available on YouTube and elswehere (for free) on how to make the best impression for prospective clients.

The set up work is one-time and then ongoing minimal maintenance and improvement steps would be required...

The fiverr platform is a place you can charge for copywriting services, graphic design work, almost anything that other people want and need that you have skills for...You can bank some good extra pocket money, especially over the holidays...

How much can you charge and earn? That is very much dependent on the skills you are offering and the experience level you have. Oh yes, also your negotiating skills come into play as well...

Lots of work out there...Get your share of it (and earn)!

Next up...Time to put your selling shoes (and suit) on...

(4) Promote Wealthy Affiliate/Your Online Skills To Your Close Network, Community, Church, Locally.

We all know there is a Black Friday sale coming up. Now would be the time to not only go for the online promotion angle, but depending on where you live and who you hang with or are connected with, local assessments is also a very good option...

The competition will be fierce online not only with all the members here that will be promoting the platform at this very special price but with the many other offers that are out there too. Your competition will not be able to do a face-to-face with your prospects locally...

NOTE: A "shoulder opportunity" of doing this may be offering some of your acquired skills to these local people and businesses for the holidays. Offer to do the work on an independent consultant basis (straight cash and you take care of paying taxes, etc.).

Many businesses need extra help with marketing, order fulfillment, etc. during this busy time of year. Be the solution!

This is a great way to help others in your community get started...Perhaps you can start a support group, help each other, and all succeed (and earn money)!

We are not done...The last opportunity we'll cover is a good one too...

Selling Digital Products...read on...

(5) Create a digital product and get your offer out there and sell, sell, sell!

You likely have some skills that you had already or have developed since you have joined Wealthy Affiliate. Why not create a digital product and sell your wisdom and advice to others? For a minimumal effort, you can have something that is full of value and will help others that they are willing to pay you for...

How to present your product and get paid? Most themes can work with the WooCommerce plugin (free) where you can create a product page and using that plugin you can add a PayPal payment gateway (free) and have their payments go directly to your account.

Delivery of the product can be set up in any number of ways, depending on what you are selling...If you are offering hard copies you can mail it out, if only digital you can store it on a site such as Dropbox and deliver it from there using an access password...

Using an autoresponder service (i.e. MailChimp which is free until you reach 2000 subscribers) you can set this up to all happen automatically. All you have to do is make sure everything is working, and count your money!

Ideas here for what to offer might be a "How To" book, a template set, or a training that you create...It does not have to be fancy, just have value and be something that your target audience would be willing to pay for...

Now is the time to think as an entrepreneur, and pull in some of the people out there that want to get what you have (and earn while doing this!)...

This is just the start...The key word in that phrase is "start" - catch my drift...?
