In this episode, Chad talks about turning your skill, money, or talent into cash.

Most people dream of doing something that they absolutely love as a career that pays them very well. But that’s usually where it stops.

There are so many ways to make money with your skills, talent, or knowledge both online and offline, locally, or in person.

It can be your knowledge, not just something you are talented at that people want to learn about and are willing to pay you for.

1. People will pay you if you know 20-30% more than they do about something they want to learn about.
2. Your skill or talent can be taught or used to produce something. ie: painter, artist, cleaner, graphic designer, writer, etc.

Business and talent should be one and the same. No one wants to learn from someone or buy something from someone who isn’t knowledgeable or talented at what they are providing. It’s the foundation for a successful business. 

There’s a podcast that took off that shocked me. It was about HAMM radios and the technical side of it…about broadcasting. It would bore most people. This guy started a podcast and started selling coursed based on his knowledge. He’s doing very well.

1. Course creators are making great money. Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, host your courses and sell them.
2. Start blogging or get a small webpage that talks about your skill set. You need somewhere to send people to when you tell them about it. It needs: your story, contact info, and a way to get their contact information.

Making money isn’t that hard. You can coach, tutor, teach, create a course online, or in person, write an ebook, start a podcast…it’s endless.

If your idea is something that could start locally as a small business…maybe you are teaching classes once a week at the rotary club or lodge building in your town, maybe you are wanting to clean a few houses and make an extra $500 per week, maybe you want to do graphic design for people in your town…I’m going to go over the basics of starting a local business in the next podcast.
