 All right, one of the most common questions I've gotten over the last five years is simplest quickest business to start from home online and Selling knowledge information. That's the simplest. I got into info courses. I don't know how many years ago just look the university system is a You know, there's literally trillions of dollars spent globally on education and now that's starting to fragment And so instead of people just having, you know, junior colleges, universities Community colleges people are going to just start learning online. You already see it with big companies like masterclass you see all these people selling courses and so Selling your expertise is is and let me give you a specific thing So it's not it's becoming saturated for you to just go out and sell a course for 50 bucks a month Nobody knows who you are. It's a little tricky nowadays for just from the standpoint of, you know You don't have a brand so what's best is launch a free or super low-price course like a dollar or five dollars or ten bucks and then Build a little community and then make your money by upselling into Selling upgrades into live Coaching and you can do two types of live coaching the most expensive yield charge will be for one-on-one live like video coaching and then Group one to many so you that way if you build a hundred people Into a free course and you can convert five percent of them Okay, if five percent of them, that's just five people come into a either group or one-on-one coaching And let's say depending on what you're teaching you're charging anywhere for group coaching to one-on-one coaching of a hundred to a thousand bucks a month You know five customers can translate into two to five thousand dollars relatively simple now if you don't have expertise yourself Okay, because a lot of people kind of feel like I'm insecure. I don't know if I have what it takes First off you may know something that you don't that you're kind of under appreciating yourself Whether it's a language You know if you're a life coach spiritual coach if you know how to cook parenting stuff There's always somebody out there that doesn't know what you know Don't assume that everybody knows what you know in number two You can partner. There's so many experts Go go through YouTube YouTube shorts look on Insta tick tock You see all these experts who don't know how to monetize and don't want to run the business side So you can actually reach out to I saw somebody with like a dog training Video and he was just doing free YouTube's You reach out to someone like that and say hey, do you have a paid version of this because Usually one to five percent of people watching your YouTube videos would pay if you would give them extra attention Remember they'll pay you for the extra attention the tutoring the mentoring right either one-on-one Livestreams or group livestreams you can this is a personal trainer. So you don't even have to have I Was just bringing up fitness because there's so many fitness experts So if you don't have expertise yourself, there's a million experts and literally a million in the world and You can partner up with them. So but but this kind of the reason I want to record this video I launched a a paid version of it's I just called so how to sell your knowledge I've been doing this about as much as anybody in history online. So you can learn from me I'll put a little link but just go to tidalopis.com Slash S-y-k podcast S-y-k stands for sell your knowledge. I love it. Com slash S-y-k podcast It'll take you right to the link if you want to get in my paid program But this is just a free video So I'm gonna give some drop a couple nuggets and that idea because the biggest mistake I see people making in an increasingly saturated Market is coming out the gate with a Recorded program that's super expensive, you know between a hundred and a thousand bucks on Automated like that's tough. If you don't have a brand name people won't necessarily trust you, right? So what I that's what I was saying the angle that I like That I find very effective is just have this angle where you're building a free community or super low price like a dollar When I launched my 67 steps program, you know, a hundred thousand people have paid to go through it over the years But at the beginning it was a dollar you know So This is You know, I've had over a hundred thousand people go through my different programs 67 steps But I started out lowly beginnings one dollar and that added up Over time and then I was able to people wanted to upgrade once they engage with you So don't be afraid to charge a very low price or even go free and some people say I'm not gonna give my stuff away free Well, that's how brands are built grocery stores new food companies. They give away samples Why they give away samples because humans are risk averse That's one of the big cognitive biases and my brain risk aversion last ten thousand generations Our great-great-great-grandparents, you know, they took some risks but calculated risks and they were a little bit Stingy with their resources. So you're gonna find that in the world that when you're coming out From scratch and saying you know I'm an expert in some subject by my stuff It's just your conversion rate Sometimes the math just isn't gonna add up on Facebook ads or insta ads or tick talk whatever you're doing So that's why I said Preferred build a free community a dollar or I've actually got some new software coming out too That'll help you do this live streaming charge per hour charge per minute. Just upgrade people I mean if it depended on the niche now what you can charge for the upgrades depends on your niche If you're teaching business Skills people will pay more for teaching fit, you know fitness moderate If you're teaching like how to sharpen a knife, they might you know, not pay more than ten bucks, but it doesn't matter It doesn't matter. There's a guy who's teaching. I was reading a little case study a guy Hated his job. What he was an engineer. He was really good at Excel spreadsheets He built a course on how to do Excel and he's makes like a hundred seventy five thousand dollars a year off people buying his course It's not very expensive. I think it charges a hundred bucks, you know But what I would add to that is that live coaching zoom and all these video training has changed the game So it's beautiful because you can be from home or travel like I'm traveling the world right now You can be traveling and selling These upgraded packages and a lot of people especially as you build a community and I'll talk about I talk about that inside my Sell your knowledge course on pilot is calm if you want to go there If not, like I'll just kind of give you the upgrade like you have to build a movement Okay, I won't call it a religion. We got to build a movement to compete So if you're in fitness if you're in business, you're gonna have to do more than just sell an educational course, right? People have to engage with you. They have to like you you need to I use stories a lot Instagram stories snap to really engage and take an audience From a free course or like a $1 course and over the course of you know one to 12 months. They become really interested in you Trust is built and then you can go to them and say hey I'm taking five coaching clients for a thousand bucks a month if you're interested click below And then you do some zoom training you do one coaching a day You do one on Monday one on Tuesday one on Wednesday ones on Thursday one on Friday They got five grand income there You do some group group coaching for people to want to pay a thousand bucks. Maybe they'll pay a hundred bucks, right? And you get You know 20 30 people in there. That's two or three thousand a month. You do group training once or twice a week So you end up, you know working two three hours a day on your group coaching or one on one Coaching recording content and it's realistic You can make three to ten grand a month and then once you have that community built then you can really scale The automated course selling where you're just selling a version for 50 bucks or a hundred bucks But I love the live coaching. That's why I'm building this new platform that you'll be able to charge You'll be able to put free courses or paid courses on there But then you'll be able to engage and upgrade people into paid Mentoring live streaming either by the minute or by the hour 101er group and they can just pay you right on on my platform. So As opposed to if she's sending them zooms, I like the idea of paying by the minute, right? It's kind of like a taxi and that way if somebody wants to stay on the call with you For two hours, you know because sometimes if you just charge them by the hour Sometimes people go over the hour or whatnot. So or sometimes They feel cheated if they paid for an hour and to call on the last 45 minutes By the way other niches for this just go I've talked about fitness with unconventional stuff Psychics do well in this, you know, like people will pay for this stuff. This is the new world where People are intrigued by so many subjects and nobody knows everything cooking I think is a good one and again, you don't have to become, you know The master chef of the world You just need an audience of a couple hundred people in your course and continually one to five percent of them are upgrading Into your more advanced live training and next thing, you know, you got a full-time job But a full-time job that can be done from anywhere. You're your own boss Internet-based, I mean and again for those of you who are like, oh, I'm not a trainer. I'm not a business expert I'm not a real estate person. I don't know how to cook. I don't know languages Start reaching out. I've got an actual script you can use to reach out to YouTubers people on TikTok Instagram that have expertise, but don't have the time or the interest in building out a program partner with them You can even own the content.
