Five Easy Ways to Leverage on Your Existing Expertise
1.   Newsletter You may already have an e-mail nesletter, and it's probably a great tool for customer retention.

But have you considered offering a more premium, paid newsletter? Whatever your business, you are likely have expertise that people will be willing to pay for. Restaurants could offer a monthly newsletter with recipes using seasonal foods, for example, or a gym could offer a weekly newsletter with exercises and tips on staying healthy; and many more. Tinyletter.com and letter.ly are two new services that allowyou to quickly and easily create and sell subscription-based e-mail newslwtter. You can give them a try and see how you can benefit from their services. 2.   E-BOOKS E-books are old method and they take a little more upfront investment, but they're potentially very lucrative. People could be willing to pay for your expertise, as well. A mechanic, for example could sell a series of e-books on do-it-yourself auto and motorcycle repairs. If you are a pet groomer, what about an e-mail about caring for dogs, cats, pigs, or how to tame a lion? Think about what you know and how it could be expanded into a 40- or 50-page book. Once you've created your book, you can sell it as PDF download  .

By holding a paid webiner, you're literallycharging people to watch you talk about and demonstrate whatever it is that you have to share. Because you are offeriing people access to you (the expert), webiners are worth the money to your peers. Some softwares can allow you to stream presentations, audio and video to up to 3000 participants. You can take questions  from your audience in real-time and the platform offers built-in-e-commerce, so you can charge for access. 4.   ONLINE COURSES If listed tips listed above do not interest you and  e-books don't convey your message clearly enough, another way to sell your expertise is by offering an online course. Using some application, you can create and sell web-based classes that not only share your expertise but teach it step-by-step. You can include multimedia in your courses, additional reading material (maybe you can even include your e-book as required reading), and provide tests so that participants can assess their progress. 5.   CONSULTING The lessons and skills you've acquired over the course of building a succesful business have immense value to your peers.
