One simple thing you can do is offer article marketing services to a local business. You can explain to them the benefits of article marketing, such as the traffic it can potentially bring their website, the leads it could generate for them, the SEO benefits of having back links from articles, etc. If you are an article writer, you might be getting anywhere from $1.50 -$17+ per article online, but most freelancers get about $3-7 per article on average. However, when you offer article marketing for offline businesses (to promote their business and/or their website) -- you can charge A LOT I have gotten anywhere from $25-50 per article from offline businesses and they are more than happy with the results. Plus, most businesses will want you to write 10-20 per month for them once you explain how article marketing really works. If you can't write an article to save your life...you can always outsource to an online freelancer that produces quality work. Heck, even if you paid a freelancer $10 per article you would still bank a very nice profit! Simple Method #2: Another method of making some easy money in the offline local business world, is to offer blog creation services to local businesses. A blog is super simple (and FREE) to create.

You do not have to have any technical knowledge whatsoever. I recommend using http://www.Blogger.com because they are owned by Google, so you know that it will rank nicely on Google's search engine! You can actually log in using your existing Google account if you have a Gmail account or any Google account. It's the same username and password as your Gmail account. Or, you can create an account for free. Make sure you create the domain name of the blog to be the nameof your client's businesses. It will come out looking like this "YourClientsBusiness.Blogspot.com" in case you don't know already.
