Leveraging Your Knowledge By Creating Products
When someone thinks of you, one of your friends or acquaintances, do they think of you as a go-to person? You know, that person everyone goes to when they need something that person specializes in. You know, how Andy works at Dell, so everyone calls him when their computer breaks down. Or when your car breaks down, you’re always sure to call Tony, because he can fix anything. This is called a go-to person and everyone has the ability to become one of those people; some just don’t know how to bring it out.
Think of something you’re good at. It may have something to do with your job. Perhaps you work in an office and you can organize files like nobody’s business. And everyone knows you’re good at that so they come to you whenever they need help filing. If you can’t think of something, you’re not trying hard enough. There’s got to be something you know more than the average person. Something your better at than the average person. By creating products, you can not only increase your knowledge and skill in whatever it is that you’re good at, but you can increase your revenue in the process.
Making products isn’t difficult; not with the technology of today. With a laptop, a certain program, a microphone, video camera, and a little bit of time, you can make products that will help you grow, and help generate income.
E-Books
E-books are in the in thing right now. With the advent of E-Readers, Kindles and the fact that people spend more time in front of a computer screen than ever before, reading E-books has become very popular. The best part is that anyone can make one. When you wanted to publish a book ten years ago, you had to find a publisher and send your manuscript off just hoping that it will be accepted. With a computer, an internet connection, a word processing program and time and knowledge, and you can write your very own E-book. When you write an E-book, you often learn more than you knew before simply because you’re researching the subject. Then, when the E-book is finished, you can sell it online and make good money off of it.
Podcasts, Videos and Social Networking Sites
If you want to go beyond merely writing, you can create podcasts, videos, and you can create social networking sites advertising your e-book or any other product you’ve created with the intent to help someone.
By doing this, you not only feel good about yourself because you’re helping someone else with hanging a door, or quitting smoking, or losing weight, or training their dog, but you’re also learning much more about the subject than ever.
The process of creating these products gives you the knowledge to create more products, thus helping more people and generating more income. Dig down inside of yourself and find your go-to subject. You may surprise yourself and find out you had a knowledge or skill you never knew you had.
