Your First Income Offer

Turn one skill into a clear service offer, with a message ready to send to a potential buyer.

You know you have useful experience. But when someone asks what you can offer, finding the words can be difficult.

Your First Income Offer helps you choose one skill, connect it to a buyer’s problem and describe a specific piece of work you could deliver.

Designed to complete in about 30 minutes, at your own pace.

Short prompts, a worked example and fillable answer spaces guide you through the process. Pause and return whenever you need to.

What you will create

By completing the exercises, you will have:

• A draft service offer that explains who you help and what you provide.

• Clear boundaries around the work you could take on.

• A potential buyer or relevant contact to approach.

• A personalised message ready to start the conversation.

• A next step for testing your idea and recording what you learn.

What could your offer sound like?

Starting point: “I used to organise meetings.”

A clearer offer: “I help small teams track meeting actions by setting up a simple action register.”

The defined service could include setting up the register and showing the manager how to use it.

This is an illustrative example, not a customer result. Your skill may be different. The toolkit helps you develop an offer grounded in your own experience, then explore whether someone needs it.

Who it is for

Experienced professionals preparing for retirement, navigating a role or contract ending, or exploring a paid service beyond employment.

You do not need a business name, website or complete business plan to begin. Start with one task you have done well.

What is included

One six page downloadable, fillable PDF toolkit, with practical prompts, a worked example, writing spaces, an adaptable outreach message and a readiness checklist.

After successful checkout, follow Selar’s download instructions. Save the PDF and open it in a PDF reader that supports fillable forms. You can also print it or write your answers in a notebook.

Your next step

Put one useful skill into words a potential buyer can understand, and prepare to start the conversation.

Completion time is an estimate. This is a self guided toolkit. Personal coaching and client introductions are not included. It helps you prepare and test an offer; it does not guarantee customers or income.
