Do you want to monetize your expertise but are busy with your current day job?
Wouldn’t it be nice to slowly start transitioning into creating content to build your side hustle? Where the heck should you start? There are just so many possibilities that it seems completely overwhelming.
But there’s a way to start without losing your sanity in the process.
Here’s a simple 6-step business model you can follow.
Start your secret content cheat code
A note-taking system is a cheat code to stand out and create content faster.
You’re probably already taking copious notes anyway. By focusing on the right process, you can easily turn those notes into valuable online content.
Instead of sitting down and racking your brain about what to write about, all you have to do is open your notes. Browse through them. Find a valuable tip. And turn it into a publishable piece of content.
The problem is that many don’t know how to retrieve their notes effectively. Their notes are scattered all over the place. I was one of those unorganized dummies. It took me 10 years to get this straight.
But now, I’ve set up a library of endless content ideas that I can share at will. This makes the content creation process ten times easier, and faster.
Time to turn your notes into content.
How to find the right audience that will (gladly) pay for your expertise
Expertise alone is worthless.
The reason? It’s not just about the expertise per se. But how about tying that expertise to a painful problem.
Nobody will pay you just for the fact of being an expert. But they’ll gladly pull out their credit cards to avoid the bloody pain that keeps them awake at night.
Before starting to create content, be clear about who you’re talking to.
