Quick money ideas are easy to come by but quick money ideas that actually work are very rare indeed.

If you're skeptical that I can show you how to make $500, $1,000, $1,500 or more as soon as a few hours from now I don't blame you.

I would think it was crazy too if I hadn't seen so many ordinary people just like you actually do just that.

Before I go any further I should point out that you will need some internet marketing knowledge to make this money making idea work for you.

If you've been studying internet marketing for three months or more that should be enough for you to go out and do this right now.

If you don't know anything about internet marketing the proven money making plan in this article should be enough incentive to get you started in learning more about it.

The good news is what I'm about to tell you is completely legal, moral and ethical. You'll be helping out the people who need your help the most in your community...small business owners.

And they'll be thrilled to talk to you and to write you a check on the spot if you follow the directions I'm about to give to you.

Here's how it works.

Most small business owners have heard about the money being made on the internet.

They know they need an internet presence and in many cases they've paid many thousands of dollars to a web designer to put a website up (or they're seriously thinking about spending that kind of money).

All you need to do is go talk to some business owners in your local area. Have a casual conversation with them about what their doing with their online marketing.

Tell them you have your own internet marketing business and you help small businesses build "direct response" websites that make real sales.

You can offer small business owners a variety of services:

1. Putting up a simple 3 to 4 page website designed to make sales and follow up with their prospects and customers.

You might charge $1,500 to $5,000 or more plus a monthly maintenance fee of $50 to $500 for this service.

Keep in mind this price range is very cheap compared to what the average small business is paying to web designers. And if you've studied web design you can create a website with an email optin page and a sales page that will create real sales for the business owner.

2. Generate an email lead capturing and follow up system for the small business.

You can do this without a website. Just capture email leads using something simple like a prize draw inside the business where prospects and clients enter their contact details.

Then staff of the business can manually enter the email addresses into an email autoresponder service like Aweber.

You set up the Aweber account and the follow up emails offering special deals, offers discounts etc etc.

For this extremely valuable service you could charge $500 to $2,500 for setup plus a monthly maintenance fee.

Best of all, as I said, you don't need a website to do it. Just an Aweber account and the ability to write some emails.

There are 2 quick money ideas proven to work in the real world that involve providing an exceptionally valuable service to small business owners and getting paid an exceptional income in return.
