Do you have a passion that you’re looking to turn into a reality? Whether you’re looking to start a new full-time venture or looking for a way to earn some extra cash on the side, the internet is a great platform to launch your dreams.
There are quite a few ways to maximize the internet’s capabilities to generate your knowledge into a profit. The internet might seem like a daunting space that requires advanced technological skills or capital to kickstart your idea, however, it is fairly easy to begin your venture with minimal costs involved. All that you really need is a computer, internet, and some sort of idea that you want to share!
- eBooks
In the past, in order to publish a book, you needed a traditional publisher to accept your manuscript. However, ebooks have completely revolutionized this concept, and it is quite simple to produce and sell a story. If you have a great idea for a book, simply write it down in the word processor of your choice, format with Kindle Create, and design your cover with a free design tool such as Canva. After that, you can publish your book through Kindle Direct Publishing, and start generating revenue on your book! This is a great option for someone with a lot of knowledge about one topic that they would like to share or for a creative mind looking to tell a great story!
- Webinars
Are you knowledgeable about a certain area, but don’t feel that writing an eBook is your strongest outlet? Try hosting webinars! Webinars are virtual sessions where you can present ideas or concepts to a live audience. This experience feels more personal than something like an ebook, because guests can ask real-time questions, and engage with the speaker. In addition, webinars are extremely easy to host using free platforms such as Skype or Facebook Live. Zoom or Google Hangouts are also great options for hosting large groups. If you would like to pay to use a platform specifically designed to host webinars, try GoToMeeting or Webex. In order to gain traction for your event, be sure to promote it on your social media platforms or consider creating an email list for interested attendees.
- Online Consulting
Online consulting is a great option if you have a niche skill that you have expertise in. Many businesses look for online consultants to help with their companies. It is less costly, and easier to hire an online consultant than paying for someone full time. Starting your journey as an online consultant may be a little difficult, so it is important to build connections in your industry. Start small, and then as you progress you will find more and more referrals.
- Online Tutoring
The last recommendation to kickstart your passion for teaching into a business is becoming an online tutor. Tutoring is the perfect opportunity to share your knowledge with people who are looking for one-on-one experiences. While you don’t need a teaching degree to be a tutor you should be quite knowledgeable about the subject you are tutoring in and feel comfortable teaching the material to others. If you are interested in online tutoring, there are several online agencies that will connect you with clients.
As you can see, the world is your oyster if you have knowledge to share and a platform to share it on. Now take that passion, and turn it into something great, and lucrative!
