Money Making Ideas Selling Your Own Services

Your work experience is valuable and whatever it has been, there are many people seeking money making ideas who would benefit from learning how to do what you do, or who would hire you to do it for them.  The opportunity of the internet is to present yourself and/or your knowledge to the "market of the millions" either through a website, an "ebook" or a marketing program to get their attention.

Perhaps as a real estate agent you could teach people how to get the best price for their house, or show young buyers what to look for in that first home.  What is special about you is the particular knowledge you've acquired: Tryon, NC as the ideal retirement community on the East coast - or the below prime mortgage rates that are available for first-time buyers in Dubuque, IA.

Or as a Dentist, maybe you have specialized experience in cosmetic dentistry - my dentist does caps and crowns that are marvels of his skill and dedication.  Believe me, there are many people who could benefit from that skill..and would go to him if the information was given to them.

Maybe your experience in the automobile business has given you insight into hundreds of ways that people can avoid getting ripped-off by shoddy repair shops or unscruplous salesmen.  One of the best selling digital books, called an ebook, was about saving money buying a car - and still sells well even 10 years later!  Think about creating and then selling an ebook for $29.95, that costs nothing to deliver (!) and sells at the rate of 15 - 20 per week!

Your non-work experience might also be the body of knowledge that others would pay you for.  A hobby or a sport that has been your passion gives you specialized knowledge that others seek either as a coach, teacher or author.  Whether it's fly-fishing or flying, boating or antiques, people want to know what you know.

"OK" you say, so how do I let everyone know what I've "got"? 

A good way to let everyone know is to explore creating a website which will make your specialty available, and a place to begin researching that concept is Site Build It! SBI has worked for me with my hobby interest in radio control aircraft, now bringing visitors at the rate of several thousand per month..you can find it at www.rc-electric-aircraft-info.com .  And, if I can bumble through developing such a nice looking and good performing site, anyone can!
