Build an online course

This is my favourite way

Building and publishing online courses is a great way to share your expertise, knowledge, and skills with a global audience while also creating a potential source of income.

Here are a few steps to follow:

• Choose a topic that is in demand and you have enough knowledge about

• Plan the main sections of your course

• Create the content of the course - This can include PowerPoint slides, quizzes and hand-outs

• Record your course by screen recording your slides and/or yourself

• Upload the course material on your choses platform (If you dont have audience = use Udemy. If you do have audience = use Teachable or Kajabi)

• Share your course on Social media

Offer Freelancing Jobs

Freelancing is a nice way to start making money in a short time. Here a re a few tips:

• Sign-up for a freelancing site (Upwork and Fiverr are famous ones)

• Creat a compelling profile with catchy headline and clear skills

• Send customized propsals for open jobs on Upwork and fiverr

• Ask for recommendations from yuor client

• Make sure to deliver high quality work - It helps you to have a positive review.

Coaching and Consulting

Another excellent avenue to share your wisdom and experience is through coaching or consulting.

This approach is particularly beneficial if you've got specialized knowledge or skill in a particular field, like business, Tech, or marketing.

Here's how you can get started:

• Identify Your Niche

• Build a Strong Online Presence:
  
  You can do this by either having a professional-looking website or a robust social media presence to attract clients.
  

  My favourite social platform for this point is LinkedIn, Its been successful for me in a relatively short time.
  
  Show potential clients who you are, what you do, and why they should hire you.

• Set Your Rates:
  Decide how much to charge for your services. Consider factors like the value you provide, your expertise, and what others in the field are charging.
  
  Start with a low rate until you get a few clients, then you can raise it.

• Network:
  Reach out to potential clients directly, attend industry events, or use social media to connect with others in your field.
  
  The more people who know about your services, the better.
