One of the easiest ways you can make money online is by becoming an expert.

Becoming an expert

Don’t think you are a expert? Well, most likely you are wrong.

Being an expert is not about being the best in your chosen field. It’s just about being better than the next person. Tweet This

I bet you have one thing you can do better than most of the people you know. Think about it.

Can you make cakes better than anyone else in your family? Do you know Excel better than anyone else at work? Are you the go-to person for anything mechanical or computer-related?

These are all things you can become an expert on.

How to become an expert

• Start Blogging
• Join Twitter and share your expertise
• Start teaching it at your local TAFE or school
• Teach a course online
• Hold free seminar/workshops for those local to you

Once you have gotten a name for yourself online and off you can start charging for your service.

• Write an eBook
• Write a real book
• Charge a subscription for expert help and knowledge
• Start charging for seminars and workshops
• Build a following on YouTube and run ads

A great example of this is Betty’s Kitchen who has used her love of baking and cooking into a YouTube-sponsored show, which earns her money via ads and builds her reputation all over the world.

Another example is Heather Fay, who turned her talent for music into a record deal – all by using Google+ to build her following online.

So, what is stopping you from becoming an expert online and turning your knowledge into cash?
