How to monetize my knowledge

Mods, I apologize if this isn't the right forum.

I've gained a lot of knowledge about psychology, sales, social skills, teaching, and neurology, over the years.

I feel very stuck, because to me, it seems like anyone else who makes money talking/writing about these things--Is a complete fucking tool.

You have the business gurus, sales gurus, charisma coaches, pick up artists, virgins who act like pick up artists, etc...

I've tested the waters with Reddit just to see if people would like what I had to say. All of the posts I've made so far have received Reddit gold, so I must be doing something right.

But even if I have quality content going for me, I just don't know how I could possibly monetize my skills or knowledge. Well, I mean I do... But not without selling my soul.

I don't know. I'm feeling kinda lost.

What do you guys think? Wanna try throwing some ideas at me and see if anything sticks?

Maybe write an ebook, start a blog. Because if you are passionate about this stuff, and you work hard, you can definitely make money from it.

Agreed, start a site and before you know it, you can be an authority. Just start for now and you can start coming up with the best ways to monetize it.

If you are able to verify your knowledge, start a consulting business. Bring on customers and provide them with excellent service, word of mouth will start to do wonders for you. First few customers, you need to give very good rates and sell yourself hard.

Use social media to talk about these things. Over time you'll build trust and followers. Maybe try to approach some blogs or websites to write for them and try to earn some money. What I do is I approach websites using contact info on their webpage if I can't find any contacts use lead gen tools like Oxyleads or Findthatemail to build a relationship with them. You will see over time you'll make something out of it.

I see it in 3 parts, both profitable:

1/ Start your website/blog ASAP, post the article that you will post on reddit. If it gets gold, it get shared, it gets authority, it get links. You sill start getting organic trafic sooner than you expect. become an authority in what you share.
2/ Affiliations / Ads: You need to monetize that trafic. sell ad spots, sponsored posts, find good product to sell.
3/ Consulting: Create a "consulting" part in your menu. Sell your time for companies / individuals.


You'll be rich before you know it. Don't need to be a guru, just be an expert and let the people decide.

Many talk about blogs, I think the future of blogging will always end in the same place, YouTube Video Blogging.
Create videos about the niches you are interested in, cross-promote with Reddit.
Then build a website to sell the products have and or do YT ads = profit!
Best of luck bro!
