During the years of doing business online I advised many of my friends to build their own online business, so they can make a few dollars on the side as a nice supplement to their 9 to 5 job.
You don’t need me to tell you that not everyone wants to be the next Internet guru, and make thousands of dollars per day online.
Yes, many people love their 9 to 5 job, and simply want to have a secondary income.
What I always recommend my friends to do, is to create a short ‘how to tutorial’ on a subject that they feel they are skillful and passionate about, and then sell the tutorial they have made to others for a certain price they feel is reasonable.
Because I know that many of my friends don’t know how to build a website, I always offer to build the website for them (for no charge obviously).
Yet, during the years I have came to realize that lack of knowledge on how to build a website is not the sole hindrance my friends experience on their quest of having an online presence.
The major hindrance they experience is that they simply don’t believe that they are skillful enough to teach others what they know.
It is like they feel that they need to be at a certain ‘skill level‘ before they can call themselves an expert, and thus make money online by teaching others what they know.
My thoughts on the subject are as follows:
