The most useful services on the Internet. How to make a free online service bring money Using Internet services online
Here I give an overview of some Internet services and a little theory on their creation. More specific information is yet to come.
Lyrical digression.
The lion's share of authors of articles about making money on the Internet talk about how to create an information product and then distribute it online. It would be a stretch to call this a business. The quality of these same “information goods” leaves much to be desired, and the methods of distribution are more like “selling something absolutely useless to everyone.”
Often, the authors offer an affiliate system for distributing these “super-useful” products. Many newcomers who dream of working on the Internet fall for colorful “temptations” that promise to easily receive fabulous incomes by paying only once for the goods. True, after making an entry fee into the affiliate system, they understand that it was a veiled financial pyramid and only its organizers themselves will be able to make money in it. After this, many are disappointed in the possibilities of making money on the Internet and they have a strong impression that there are only scammers on the Internet and it is impossible to earn money honestly on the Internet.
I in no way want to say that all affiliate programs are a dishonest way to make money. On the contrary, it is a fairly effective way to distribute goods online. BUT! I condemn people who produce low-quality information products, trying to sell them for exorbitant amounts of money. And today this is a big problem for the network.
Why am I writing about this? In the last few months, I have become especially intensely interested in e-commerce and looking for articles on this topic. To my surprise, more than ninety percent of these articles were about “information goods.” And what was especially striking, mainly, were the translations of “bourgeois” authors, or the articles of our Internet space figures, altered in their own way. I don’t think it’s worth saying that the American experience needs to be applied quite carefully everywhere, including the Internet. After all, no one has yet canceled the fundamental difference between our mentalities. What works “there” does not work here. But that's not what this is about.
I was struck by the “narrowness” of the topics of these articles. After all, online business is as diverse and multifaceted as offline business. This situation needs to be corrected, so in today’s episode I will talk about the field of e-services – i.e. about Internet services.
Introduction.
No one will argue that the “trick of the day” of offline business is services. In addition to the fact that this is an extremely profitable business, it has now spread to almost all areas of activity. The Internet is no exception here and provides unique opportunities to occupy very promising and profitable niches.
The bulk of services on the Internet are represented by services – paid and free. Since in my newsletter we are talking about business, we will only consider paid services here. On the other hand, most free services eventually “dream” of becoming paid, but at the stage of creation and testing they can be used without payment. And this is quite normal practice.
Types of services.
It is perhaps not possible at the moment to give a clear classification of all e-services. This market is just emerging, and every day dozens and hundreds of completely different sites appearing that provide certain services.
Below I will give examples of online services that are quite indicative for those who are thinking about operating in this area. I chose the examples absolutely arbitrarily, and you can continue this list yourself.
These services are widespread on the Internet thanks to their affiliate programs and do not need any special introduction. The bulk of their services are free, but additional features (moving the profile to the top of the ratings, voice greeting, ...) are activated only after payment.
This strategy has proven its effectiveness and now dating services are extremely popular.
The system for organizing the affiliate program is also interesting: the partner gets at his disposal a fully customizable website with an already populated database of participants. All work on database moderation is undertaken by the service organizer. The partner receives part of the profit from ordering paid services on his website.
An example of such a site on my project “Crimean Portal”: www.love.crimea-gu.ru
System for buying and selling links. You can find many of these on the Internet, but now I want to look at the SAPE project. This is a young but intensively developing project.
This service provides the opportunity to buy and sell links from all pages of websites automatically. It allows you to quickly select and buy the necessary links for the optimizer, and also quickly sell these links to the site owner.
For their services, service owners receive 10% of the payment amount. The service has an affiliate program to attract referrals, which made it possible to spread information about it very quickly.
Internet site address: www.sape.ru
Another service for optimizers, this time quite old - 1PS. This service allows you to automatically register a site in 2500+ directories, which greatly facilitates the work of link managers. The system created by the project programmers can be quickly supplemented with new catalogs. At the time of writing, 351,300 sites were registered through 1PS. At the same time, many sites were re-registered through the service, so this figure can be safely multiplied by 2.
And since this service receives money for each site registered in it, it is easy to understand that this is a fairly successful project.
Website address: www.1ps.ru
Here I want to look at the WebMoney payment system. The system does not need any introduction, because it is used by millions of people around the world.
After registering, the user receives a wallet account in the system for free. Further, when the owner of the wallet sends a payment, 0.8% is transferred from the payment amount to the system. This is the main part of WebMoney's income.
WebMoney is another example of a successful e-service. Payment volumes in just one day amount to $10+ million, and the daily number of registrations is 4000+.
Service address: http://webmoney.ru
Perhaps this overview list of Internet services is enough to understand that you can earn very decent money on the Internet in the field of e-services. Moreover, this list can be continued for a long time.
Creating a service.
Like any type of business, creating a service must begin with the formation of an idea, which must then develop into a clearly formulated action plan. The further success of the project will depend on the quality and prospects of the idea.
There shouldn’t be any problems with ideas either: these can be training or consulting services, all kinds of service and information portals,... I’m ready to discuss your thoughts and ideas at the E-Businessmen Club (http://www.crimea-gu.ru/talk/ viewforum.php?f=17) I think there is no need to say that you should be well versed in your chosen field of activity and working in it should be enjoyable. Otherwise, the chances of project success drop sharply.
As for the technical implementation of the project, there are options. You can write the project yourself. But this is only if you have knowledge and skills in programming. Otherwise, you can hire a programmer or use ready-made solutions, if they exist. Naturally, what the programmer writes will be much more flexible and closer to your requirements, so I recommend leaning toward this option.
That's all for today. This issue turned out to be a review, but I am ready to discuss this topic in more depth and specialized. Write a letter with your questions. I am ready to discuss any questions and proposals related to Internet business.
I also remind you that there is a section on the forum that I called “E-Commerce Club”. After completing a simple registration, you can become a member of this club and receive information and advice from like-minded people. I invite everyone!
Hello, friends! In the article we will look at the training video course “Cybersant-User”, the use of Internet services, which will tell you how to work with programs, as well as with Internet Services.
Using Internet services on the network
The Internet is advancing in our lives by leaps and bounds, intensively invading our lives. More and more people every year and month become participants in this process (this was written about in a recent article). It is not surprising that hundreds of Internet services are appearing.
It’s as if our life flows smoothly onto the monitor screens. Today, millions of people communicate on social networks, search for information, communicate on Skype, and distance learning is becoming increasingly popular. All this is the use of Internet services.
And it’s very effective! In our country (and not only in ours), the situation with the availability of available jobs is not very good. And again, Internet services come to the rescue, the use of Internet services, where people find remote work via the Internet. Some people make money from their own information products, others from affiliate programs. Today there are a great many options for making money on the Internet, there is no point in listing them.
The use of Internet services also makes it possible to work remotely via the Internet, where you can work remotely at home for a decent salary (this is written in the article). The home computer has become an integral part of many people's families. Photos and videos are taken and stored on the computer. On it we read books, study foreign languages and do many other useful things. As you can see, you simply cannot do without many Internet services.
In many of my articles, I have already mentioned that to perform the above and other works, you need knowledge, you can read the articles and. We need ideas about our friend the computer, we need knowledge to work with certain programs, to complete assigned tasks. Sometimes you surprise yourself when you use a good program for only 5 percent.
Today, the use of Internet services is provided by a great variety of books, educational video lessons on various topics, and there are very good and high-quality educational video lessons and books. Many Internet services in education also provide good help. But a novice user does not always know what kind of lessons and educational video tutorials he needs.
It’s great when the necessary information is collected as much as possible in one source. Today, there are educational video lessons that allow you to gain knowledge absolutely free of charge on how to work with many programs. Moreover, they will be useful not only for beginners, but also for people with experience.
This often happens - you find a good program, but it’s difficult to work with it. You need to spend time figuring out how to work with certain programs. So, I will try to briefly describe the content of the training video course “Cybersant – User”.
By the way, there are no analogues of such training video lessons in RuNet yet. The course is intended for those people who have recently mastered a computer and want to learn how to use it effectively, and want to figure out how to work with programs. It will also be useful for people with experience; there is a lot of new and interesting information. Cybersant-User training video lessons consist of 17 topics.
The duration of the training video lessons is more than five hours. The topics are presented separately, so you can study each topic separately. Cybersant-User shows how to work with many office programs and Internet services.
The video training course begins with a review of the Onenote program. This program is part of the office suite - Microsoft Office 2010. Working in this program is associated with working in an electronic notebook.
In the book you can create notes, store your notes, and record your ideas. Make plans for work, both at home and at work. The program allows you to insert an image, print text, create formulas (from the field of exact sciences), and allows you to work with tables.
You can insert screenshots and send recordings by email. Finding out how the program works will also be useful for students and people involved in scientific activities - Cybersant User will undoubtedly help.
As already mentioned, the program allows you to work with formulas of any complexity; it is a kind of calculation designer, including elements of higher mathematics. The program is also useful for people who write their own books; here you can make notes on the text and draw.
Microsoft Office Publisher is the next interesting program. It makes it easier to work with documents when preparing them for printing. There is also an answer here, how to work in this program?
Working with the program. Many people have worked with earlier versions of this program. It allows you to prepare materials for presentations. This program is very different from the 2003 version of the program, and is a bit similar to the 2007 version of Microsoft Office.
The program allows you to create texts, pictures, diagrams and graphs in a future presentation. Allows you to insert video fragments, and do it in the program. The program prepares the created information for recording and writes it to a CD. The course shows step by step how to work with this program, Cybersant User also answers this question.
Excel 2010 - this program is designed for creating tables. Compared to previous versions, it is “sophisticated”. The program's capabilities are very large. It will be useful for both ordinary users and accountants and engineers.
Many have worked with this program in earlier versions and know it. The new version features a ribbon interface and a number of additional functions. The training video tutorial explains in detail how to work with the program and how to configure it.
Outlook is also an office program and allows you to optimize your work with email. This program is more convenient than earlier versions. A new interface has also been used here. The program allows you to classify letters (very large possibilities) and check them for spam. The program contains an electronic calendar that can be used as a personal planner. How to work with Outlook is also shown in detail in “Cybersant - User”.
Word - almost everyone knows this program. It is very similar to the 2007 version of the program, but there are changes. The interface is intuitive. There is a spell check function with advice on correcting errors. I will not repeat myself, in Cybersant User all the work is presented step by step, there is nothing complicated there.
YouTube. This is now one of the most popular Internet services. You can store your video files on this service. It shows what videos can be added to the service and how this is done technically.
Cybersant User shows what settings need to be made and how to do it. You can not only store the video on the Internet service, you can allow it to be downloaded by other users, and links to the video can be posted on your own website. The training video lessons also present other features of this service.
Picasa (google). This Internet service allows you to organize, store and process your photos. An online photo album is being created. This program has a built-in viewer, it is a pleasure to work with it. You can also georeference the photo.
On this Internet service you can store up to 1 GB of photos for free - that’s quite a lot. The program allows you to post links (upon requests) on the Internet, you can comment on photos on the Internet. It is possible to manage Copyright for your photos; all this is shown in detail in Cybersant - User.
Photos can be cropped and straightened (if the horizon is blocked), perform auto-correction of contrast and do retouching. The red-eye effect is eliminated. There are a lot of functions, a good program.
Yandex people. This Internet service allows you to create websites and share files. You can upload files up to 5 GB each to this Internet service, and you can upload an unlimited number of files. Files are stored for up to three months (unless downloaded). It is easy to extend the shelf life; this can be done many times.
Yandex video. This Internet service stands out among its classmates; it allows you to upload videos to it, practically without limiting the video size. The only limitation is that one file must be no more than 1.5 GB in any video format.
Yandex map. This is Yandex maps. You can work with maps from anywhere in the world. There is an opportunity to see panoramas of many cities. Google has the same Internet service (wrote in the previous one). You can get directions in any city, look at satellite maps, all this is shown in detail in the Cybersant User course.
Yandex market. An interesting service that allows you to find many products at the best price (I also wrote about this in the previous one). The service will help you choose the product you need, compare price ranges, etc. The service has a mini forum where you can see reviews from other customers about the purchased products.
Yandex bookmarks. This is the Yandex bookmarking service. It allows you to save previously created bookmarks when reinstalling the system or browser.
Printwhatyoulike. This service allows you to print any page from the site. With this service, banners and advertisements are removed, leaving only text. You can set the text parameters yourself.
