Flip Services
Flipping services is when you find services (like graphic design, cleaning, or web design) that people need and are willing to pay for. You then find a way to either resell these services at a higher price, or outsource the work to someone else who can complete it for you. For example, you could connect clients with freelance writers or designers, and charge a little more than you paid them. The key is to find a service that is in demand, and then offer it to others in a way that makes a profit for you.
EXAMPLE
Imagine you’re in need of a graphic designer to create logos for businesses. You find a skilled designer offering their service for R500. You can then charge a client R800 for the same service, keeping the difference as profit. This is flipping services, where you don't necessarily do the work, but you organize and manage the transactions to earn money.
