Sell Knowledge It’s Taken You Years to Acquire  by Avril Harper

We’ve all seen ads. in magazines and newspaper offering huge profits to people wanting to work from home.  The fact is a great many people want to make money from home, and most are keen to pay someone else for reliable and honest reviews on how to make money this way.  And that’s where you can come into the picture as an information provider specialising in work at home business opportunity eBooks and reports.

But wait, there’s actually more to this business than providing ideas showing other people how to make money, while also earning a great living yourself in the process.  The reality is that millions of people are desperate to have, and to pay for information such as you can easily provide, and relating to many different subjects, not just making money.

So people may pay you to reveal your favourite recipes, or show them how you make such beautiful clothing for your children, or how you managed to buy a super sports car for a huge discount on showroom prices.

Now let me ask a few questions to let you see how this business might make very good profits for you:

-  Are you a fabulous cook?

-  Do you have some secret ways to make your kids behave?

-  Do you have a knack for woodwork?

-  Do you know how to travel the world free of charge and even make money as you go?

-  Do you have a special skill for predicting winning horses in major races?

Those and just about any other skill can be turned into pounds without a huge amount of work or investment. In fact, if you have a computer and a printer, you can earn money by investing just time and a tiny bit of cash into establishing and running your very own information business.

The trick is to turn your information into something that other people want. For example, if you always have people complimenting your cooking, why not put together a few of your best recipes and sell them as a downloadable report? Or, if you know ways to keep kids busy on a rainy day, have your knowledge printed into booklet format and sell that.

I am not talking about writing a book here, just a few short pages that people with a little time can buy cheaply and easily pick up the information they need.

You can begin by doing a bit of brainstorming. Write a list of all the skills you have that you could possibly write about. Now get writing. People like lists, so you might have a booklet titled 15 Rainy Day Activities or 25 Award-Winning Pies. The title should be straightforward and to the point.

Now, write your ideas down. They can be in point form or in story fashion. Write clearly and concisely. If you have drawings or graphs, all the better. Any decent publishing program will have a booklet form that will be easy to follow and apply.

Now you need to advertise. Hit the papers, magazines and post it boards in your area. Later you can expand. Stop by shops and bookstores to see if they are willing to sell your product for a small commission.

Your booklets need to be priced low to sell. No booklet should ever be more than five pounds. Two or three pounds is a better price for a properly informative booklet. Now, get out there and get writing!

And once you’re finished writing, be sure to add a few links for affiliate products to your booklets so you’ll earn money every time one of your readers makes a purchase.
