The 3-Step Formula to Monetizing What You Already Know..
A lot of people believe making money online requires learning something new or having years of experience in a specific field. That’s a lie.
The truth? You’re already sitting on something valuable that people will pay for. You just haven’t learned how to package and sell it.
Here’s a simple 3-step formula to turn what you already know into money—even if you’re a complete beginner.
Step 1: Identify Your Monetizable Skill, Knowledge, or Experience
Think about the things you already do effortlessly:
What do people ask you for help with? E.g., “You’re so good at planning events! Help me with my wedding.”
What challenges have you figured out? E.g., “I lost 10kg without going to the gym!”
What have you learned from experience? E.g., “I built a business while working 9-5.”
Your life experiences, skills, and knowledge are valuable. People are willing to pay to learn what you already know as long as you can solve a problem for them.
Step 2: Package It Into a Sellable Offer
Now that you’ve identified what you can monetize, the next step is to turn it into something people can buy.
Here are a few ways to do that:
Teach it as a course or coaching program E.g., If you’re great at social media, offer a class on “How to Grow & Monetize Instagram.”
Write a digital guide or eBook E.g., If you’re a baker, create an eBook on “How to Bake Cakes for Beginners.”
Offer a service (E.g., If you’re good at graphics, start creating logos for small business owners.)
Host a paid webinar or workshop
E.g., If you know how to sell online, do a “3-Day Business Launch Bootcamp.”
The key? Keep it simple. You don’t need a fancy website or a perfect logo, just create a clear offer that solves a specific problem.
Step 3: Sell It to the Right People
Now that you have something to sell, it’s time to get paying customers.
Talk about it!, Share your story and how you can help others.
