How To Make Money With Training Videos
Filed under Make MoneyFeb 28Most everyone has some area of expertise in a particular field that would be beneficial for others to learn. Whether you’re an employee, entrepreneur, or entertainer, there’s good money to be made in training others how to have the same successes you have. Simply demonstrating on video the same steps to success you’ve taken, you can make thousands of extra dollars by portraying your expertise.
1. Determine your area of expertise. What have you been good at for all your life? What are your hobbies, pastimes, or job skills that you have been perfecting? Maybe you’ve been successful at parenting, making crafts, throwing parties, inventing, or how to enjoy a night out on the town. Even if it’s something as simple as winning at board games, chances are there are people out there that would want to learn from you. Maybe you’ve been an administrative assistant for years and have been commended on how invaluable you are to the company. Then you have a basis of training others how to be top notch administrative assistant, considering how much job turnover some industries can have. Companies love training with videos, because it saves valuable time from managers and communicates everything important in the same way each time.
2. Plan your approach. Once you’ve determined your market for training others, you need to put together an outline for the content. This is where you’ll want to spend most of your time, as content is always king. Start with bullet points, going from general to specific. Sketch out the scenes that you will be taping to illustrate the message. Be sure to discuss what doesn’t work as well as what does, by sharing the mistakes you’ve made along the way. Give them resources and tips to get started and how to persevere.
3. Shoot the video. First you’ll want to choose a professional production company to produce your video if you are not equipped or experienced. Do not use your home camcorder thinking that you can make a professional video suitable for selling at a premium price. For advice on how to choose a video production company, do a web search for “how to choose a video production company” or search by this author’s name. Once you’ve chosen a production company that fits your budget, be sure to create scenes that actually demonstrate your points and how they can duplicate it. No one really wants to buy a video of a talking head, so keep it interesting. For advice on creating effective video content, be sure to do a web search on this topic for this same author. Decide if you are suitable for being the on camera talent and speaker. Again you must portray yourself as an expert, or at least, an expert author of the content. If you’re not good at communicating on camera or unable to speak naturally and fluently, you may need to hire an actor to work off a teleprompter. The production company will help you make that decision.
4. Market the video. Once the video is shot and duplicated and ready to be sold, determine the venues of distribution to promote your video to your target audience. Having your own search engine-friendly website is a must, with accurate keywords that your audience will be searching for. Amazon.com and other video dealers will gladly stock or drop ship your video for a cut of your selling price, and is well worth it. Trade shows, college campuses, swap meets, magazine classifieds, local newspaper classifieds.anywhere your audience’s eyes would be looking is where you need to be promoting your video. With perseverance and determination, you can make a one time video investment make you a lot of extra money and maybe even quit the job that you were training people how to do!

How To Make Money Online Fast Selling To “Boring” People
Boring people are good people too.
It seems that every day I get a call from someone looking for advice on how to make money on the Internet.
They have goals, great goals, but they are lost. They can’t figure out what to sell.
They ask things like, “What can I sell? What’s a good thing to sell? What’s hot?”
And every single time I tell them the same thing:
You are doing it backwards. Instead of messing around trying to find a product to sell, you need to first find a good market to sell to a hungry market. Once you’ve found that hungry market, getting the product is easy. Once you know what a market already wants, then it is a simple matter of getting it to them.
The only problem is that once they do those steps, they many times fall into wanting to sell to markets that are already saturated. For example, the weight loss market, or the Internet marketing market (it seems everyone has an eBook on how to make money online).
But I always suggest doing the opposite.
I always urge people to find a…well…”unsexy” market. Perhaps you would call it a boring market. What Im talking about is finding a market that is huge and flush with cash, but is not all that exciting.
Lets take the parenting market as an example. Thats a pretty good market. I mean everyone has a hard time with their kids and might possibly spend some money for some advice or solutions that would make their lives easier. Another one that is huge, and even desperate for answers, is the growing number of people looking for care for their aging parents.
When someone gets a debilitating disease and can’t fend for themselves, they will do anything or pay anything just to get some help and keep their dignity.
Those are just a couple examples.
There are so many different markets. There are just millions of them.
Youve got to come up with one that is hungry with a real need and where there is money to spend.
Just remember, the market you sell to doesn’t have to be sexy and it doesn’t have to be exciting. It just has to be big, passionate and filled with people who are not afraid to spend money.
And if you go for the “boring” ones, you will find less competition and an environment where it is easier to make money.

How Does One Provide Content And Make Money With Free IQ?
Free IQ, also known as the Marketplace for Ideas, is a service where people with education, consulting, advice, information, and other products and services can offer those services and products for sale to the people around the globe. The sales of those products and services are driven by an army of highly motivated affiliates.
This is an entirely new concept for many folks. For example, let’s say you know a lot about skateboard or snowboard tricks and you know there are other people who will gladly pay to acquire your knowledge. But, you have no idea where to start with how to sell an ebook or a video where you impart your knowledge to others.
This is where Free IQ comes into the picture. They host your product on their site, they do the payment processing, and their affiliates promote and sell your product.
The same goes for practically any other category of saleable knowledge.
Whether you know a lot about gardening, sewing, house cleaning, engineering, elderly care, troubled teenagers, parenting, application development, fruit tree pruning, video games, fixing motorcycles, interior design, sports massage, dieting, weight loss, etc., you can profit from your knowledge with Free IQ. The list just goes on and on and on. You can even sell consulting services, and physical products that must be sent by mail.
So, how can you sell and make money with Free IQ?
The first step is to register and open a free account on Free IQ. This enables you to utilize the interactive facilities of the site. For example, you can rate as well as review any of the multitude of paid and free products that are available on the site.
When you’ve opened your basic free account, you then upgrade the account to a “content provider / affiliate account.” It’s as simple as filling out an online form where you provide more information about yourself and tell Free IQ where they must send the money you make from the sales of your product. It does not cost a dime to upgrade your account.
When you have your Free IQ Content Provider account, you are all set to upload the products that you want to offer for sale. As before, it’s a simple web form that you complete to upload your product. If your product is not yet in a format ready for upload, you can mail the product to Free IQ and they will convert it to the correct format. Doing this costs you nothing.
You can upload as many new products as you like as often as you like.
Paid products are only one part of the story. You can also upload products that you want to give away for free.
For instance, if you’re selling an ebook on the martial arts or dyi home renovation. You may then want to put a free 5 minute video on Free IQ where you give a brief summary of your ebook and demonstrate your knowledge on that particular topic. Free IQ affiliates will make full use of your free video to generate increased sales of your paid ebook product, because it is much easier to convince people to look at something that’s free than it is to get them to pay without knowing much about the product.
So, when you offer paid products on Free IQ, you need to think about two things. The first is your paid product. The second is one or more free products that build confidence and comfort and take the viewer back to your saleable product.
Making money with Free IQ is a very simple process given that you do not have to sell the product yourself; that is done by the affiliates. Your focus must be on creating a worthwhile product that other people want to buy.
