How to make money online with short reports

Writing short reports and selling them cheaply is one of the most powerful ways to make money online fast. In this post, we’ll take a look at how to write a short report and set it up on autopilot to make money 24/7.

What to write about?

Look around. What inspires you the most? What are your passions, how do you spend most of your time, is it reading? to fish? Cooking?

Are you an expert in something? Do people ask you for suggestions on something? There are literally thousands of ways to find inspiration, if you so desire!

A great way to write a report that sells is to focus on something that focuses on relieving pain or solving a problem, that kind of thing.

But before you get excited and start creating a report, just make sure the topic you’re writing about is in demand. One way to do this is by using a keyword tool. There is a free keyword tool that is more than enough for this purpose. The tool is Google Keyword Planner. With this tool, you can easily estimate the number of people searching for a particular topic and keyword each month. If you want a more professional take and want to find highly profitable keyword ideas, look into paid tools like LongTailPro or Market Samurai. LongTailPro is a professional keyword tool that gives you keyword ideas and their profitability scores. You can also use this tool to get blog post ideas, research a profitable niche for your next site, and much more.

How to write the report

You can easily create a report using free tools like the OpenOffice suite or a paid one like Microsoft Office. Create a document in Word format and then export it in PDF format when saving the document. That is all. Your report is ready. Don’t forget to add images and media when needed in your report.

How many pages?

When you’re starting out, try to keep it short. Anything between 20-30 pages should be enough. Remember it’s about quality, not quantity.

How to price your report

For a 25-30 page report, you can quote $5-10 considering you are a hobbyist and no one in the industry knows your name. Once it becomes popular, you can even charge $100 for a short report, as long as it’s high voltage content.

How to sell your short report

You can opt for a cheap web hosting account and register a domain name. Once you’re done with that, you can either hire a designer to create a sales page for you (which will cost you a lot) or buy Optimizepress ($97 for 3 domains).

Optimizepress gives you flexibility and you can create as many landing pages and squeeze pages as you like. It is easy to design. Another option is Leadpages which costs $37/month.

Once your landing page is ready, sign up for e-junkie, which costs you just $5/month for one article. It is a digital product delivery system that delivers your report to the customer’s email once the payment has been processed. Remember, e-junkie does not process payments. To accept payments, use PayPal’s business account, which can be easily connected to e-junkie and is free to get started. This is a one time setup. Set it up and it will make you money on autopilot. PayPal charges a fee for each transaction made, but it’s definitely worth it.

Once you start making enough money from your first report, you can do several similar types of reports in different niches. This way, you have a decent online business for yourself that earns on autopilot and provides you with a continuous stream of passive income.
