Monetize your skills

Once you have identified your talents and skills, it is time to monetize it. Nearly anybody can make money from what they love doing best. People have become billionaires from simple natural abilities such as singing dancing and writing. The world in its present state revolve around soft skills, as soon as you put yourself out to the world to be great at what you do, you’ll find people come around who are interested in giving you platforms.

The question is how? The ‘How to monetize your skills’ revolve around three key principles that is a common factor to everyone who has ever gotten paid for what they love to do. If you pay attention to these principles, you are on your way to financial freedom.

1.    Rebrand your skills to find solutions to needs: needs doesn’t have to be physical, such as the need of food or clothing. Many people need affirmation, encouragement and entertainment. Once you find a common need that you can find solutions to, you are good to go. You don’t need to be here and there, jack of all trade. Let people be able to know you as the provider of one thing that meets their needs.

2.    Market yourself to the world:  Tell everyone about your skills with passion and much enthusiasm. you can’t stay in a local place and expect to get global affirmation. Put yourself out in the face of the world. Create a YouTube account, Build a functional website, network with people and always leave them with a feeling of how great you are at what you do. But don’t be mediocre and find cheap alternatives to doing business. Let everything you do have a touch of excellence.

After a while of continuous marketing of your product, it will get to a point where your product begins to market itself. At this point, further elevate your brand by connecting with human emotion. Whatever it is you do, once you disconnect from the people you sell to, you lose your market.

3.    Consistency is the key to success: One of the errors of talented start-ups is to think that because they are absolutely good at what they do, the money should starts rolling out in no time. Yes, the money will roll in but not as quickly as you expect it to. It’s difficult to be successful at anything, whatever it may be, if you don’t persist in it. Often the beginning doesn’t seem smooth and interesting because of the competition your business may face, but once you carve a niche for yourself, you have separated yourself from the rest of the competition.

People will pay for the quality your product brings no matter how much it is. And sometimes, people will pay for your brand regardless of the product. So, in monetizing your skills, you need to bring yourself up to speed, to the point where your product can always be expected to deliver a certain result without fail.
