"Where to use my skills and interests"


          

My background is in psychology and marketing, I have a great interest in life-long education or what people like to call life skills. I am very passionate about this subject and practice it in my daily life.

Also, I seem to attract people who constantly seek my advice on everything from personal finance to relationships. Why this is so I do not know. My question is I am looking for feedback on how I could possible turn this into a source of income. I was thinking of possible blogging, giving my point of view on various topics mainly based on my own experiences.

I'm really open to what might be possible, I'm sure I could at least supplement my income in some manner. I look forward to some feedback and ideas

With your background and personality, sounds like you should do some research on "Life Coach"

Good Luck,

Steve Patrick

Steve,

Thanks for your comments, you hit it on the head about life coaching. That was the general direction I was heading and getting feedback that confirms my thinking helps a lot. That way I don't get to full of myself and end up doing something that I'm neither qualified for or have an interest in.

Best Regards,

David Harbour

You can start a free blog at wordpress.com You need to start doing videos on topics and putting them on YouTube.... you'll know if people like your stuff-- if you get enough of a following then you will be able to monetize it.

Set yourself apart and remember that what you are talking about is really a "celebrity" type business-- so you have to conduct yourself like a celebrity-- dress the part.

Before you can make any money you will have to do a lot of "tribe" building and give away a lot of stuff... it is the persistence that pays in this case.

Yes I would certainly go after coaching. I would do some research online about it and I would also ask for some advice off line to see what kinds of coaching you should offer.

You must be healthy to be successful.

Berry,

Thanks for your input, I've heard good things about Wordpress and certainly think I could get myself and my skills noticed with a blog.

Best Regards,
