Selling Your Knowledge - How I did it

    I just thought I would share what I did with my seemingly simple knowledge base to make extra bucks every month.

    After quite a struggle getting into internet marketing I decided to go back to my roots which was programming. So after doing some research I discovered a new development program for building products.

    So I bought the product and started learning. After about 6 months in the developer forum I had acheived an expert level with the product and I had accumulated well over 300 source code files.

    That is when I had a random thought. Other noobs might learn something from my practice files. I zipped them up and placed an Ad in their market area.

    Needless to say, a ton of fly's landed on my crap! I was making money!

    Then I started getting requests to teach people one-on-one.

    So I started a training website and I developed a 30 day course over the weekend and put up another Ad and then I had about 12 people signed up for the class at $100 per student.

    Now that might not seem like much BUT I recorded ALL of the 30 day classes and bundled them up for the following classes.

    It worked like gang busters. Today, I still make about $400/mth without doing a thing. Easy money.

    I still have people signing up for my recorded training classes AND they are still buying my source code packages.

    I still get asked for private tutoring which I do at a higher rate but I no longer struggle to find what I will do.

    The key is just looking around and understanding what users want and need.

    Good Luck!
