Your knowledge and expertise can be worth a fortune IF you know how to package and market them, and you know precisely who you want to market them to.
Even better: You can be earning money from your business while you’re still at your corporate job, or even while you sleep, if you have the right digital framework, strategy, and mindset.
We’ve fit the essentials for making money from your expertise into this episode, including an important heads-up for folks who believe they’re going to put six figures in their pocket within the first six months.
If that’s you, we’re here to tell you: No, nope, and it ain’t gonna happen.
But if you’re looking to transition from your corporate job to an at-home digital business over a year or two, and you are willing to learn the process, do the work, take the time, and spend a little money, we can tell you that it’s 100% worth it.
There’s more to it than putting up a website and slapping a few posts on social media, though, so listen in to learn: how people “get rich in a niche”; why trying to do everything will keep you from earning anything; real-life examples of successful niching and targeted marketing messages; common startup mistakes; pro tips for your podcast or YouTube channel; the problem with Instagram; and helpful fill-in-the-blank exercises to clarify your value, your audience, and how you’ll stand out in the crowd … and more!
We can help you translate your knowledge and expertise into a digital business. To start strong with clear, personalized steps based on your specific goals, schedule a Private Deep Dive Session with us, and we’ll get you on the right track for a productive and effective Q3 and Q4.
