Emer­gency Cash Tip #18: Of­fer a Spe­cial Of­fer on the War­rior­Fo­rum or SitePoint

Sev­eral large fo­rums al­low mem­bers to sub­mit spe­cial of­fers to other members.

If you need cash badly, con­sider us­ing this sec­tion on one of the larger In­ter­net mar­ket­ing fo­rums to sell some­thing that a lot of peo­ple need for very cheap.

For in­stance, con­sider writ­ing a 15-page re­port on a cur­rent hot topic; and sell­ing it for $3 per copy as a spe­cial offer.

This may sound like a tiny amount—and in­deed it is—but that’s ex­actly the point.

You’re not sell­ing a mas­sive, com­pre­hen­sive set of encyclopedias.

You’re sim­ply sell­ing some­thing small and tar­geted for a tiny price, so that po­ten­tial buy­ers don’t have to think hard about what to do.

If you do a good job with this ap­proach and cre­ate a valu­able prod­uct, there’s a good chance you’ll make hun­dreds of dol­lars from your offer.
