Being a service provider while building more hands-free income on the side can be tough because we spend so much of our work time on our clients. But it’s not always about affiliate income, creating your own info product or building a new membership site that is totally unrelated to your current service business.

Here are 3 quick ways you can build value for your clients as well as add more steady, recurring income. Best of all, they take very little of your time an attention on a daily and weekly basis.

• Create a website backup service plan. This is perhaps the easiest yet highly valuable service. With just some simple code and setup, you can do backups completely on auto pilot. Backups are also something that is needed regularly, not once. You can easily create a subscription based service plan.
• Website upgrade plan. Think about the last couple of websites you built for your clients or worked on. How many of those were WordPress (or some other popular system)? Probably quite a few. The thing about these sites, they aren’t something you build and forget – although many clients do that – they need updating regularly to keep the software running in good condition and keep the website from being exploited by a security flaw. Why not you? Offer a recurring plan where you monitor and do all the updates while ensuring the site goes on as smoothly as possible. Take it all completely out of the client’s hands.
• Membership site maintenance. Just like the above, membership sites are like living things. Content is one thing but without the delivery mechanism, there can be no membership site. An active and good membership site needs to upgrade its software and improve its features. Brainstorm some ways to help clients focus on the members (deliver good content) and leave the rest to you – for a recurring fee of course.

What if you like these ideas but are uncertain or do not know how to do any of the tasks required to offer these services? Then you’ll want to head on over to TechBasedTraining to get the training you need. TechBasedTraining goes live today. It has training courses written especially for those who are involved with building and marketing their businesses online.

You can take your training one at a time by getting them individually with no recurring costs. But for those who are serious about adding technical assistance services and want to to continuously extend their skills, then the best way is to go Pro. The Pro option makes every course current and future ones a lot more economical. And Pro members also get access to exclusive downloads – some of these include scripts and plugins that I have authored but never released to the public, special training that won’t be available individually, an ever growing knowledge base and checklist database and code snippets. A much better value all around.

Currently, a low introductory price is in effect for the Pro option but that will expire on March 8 – it’s just around the corner, so don’t sleep on it. Click to go to TechBasedTraining.
