Do you have a list? Or do you have access to a list? (Think JV with a list owner)… If so, you have the potential to make money fast.

Let’s explore some possibilities… I received an email the other day from a mate who is changing niches. Apparently he is moving from IM to the coaching niche. And as he’s transitioning over, he’s making one last offer to his IM list:

For six weeks, he will answer any questions you have about IM in the areas he knows best. Not only will he answer every question within 24 hours – he will also point you to a great resource that explains his answer in detail.

For this, he is charging about $300.

Think about it – he knows his niche. He knows how to do online marketing. So answering questions is pretty simple for him, I’m sure. But he’s also pointing to a resource for every answer he gives.

Frankly, as long as you are somewhat familiar with your niche and good at using Google, you can do this, too.

Receive the money, stay on top of your emails, spend 5 minutes (or less) researching a good article that answers each question in depth, and you’ve got it.

You might be thinking, “What if people ask stuff I don’t know?” Google it. “What if they bombard me with a million questions?” It won’t happen. Maybe the first day or two they will, but after a while they’re going to run out of questions. After the first two weeks, I bet you don’t even hear from some of your students.

I don’t see why anyone with a halfway decent knowledge of their niche can’t perform this service.

And who says you can only do it once? You can offer this service over and over again, as many times as you want.

Google is your research partner. And list owners are your JV partners.

One thing – make sure you really do send your people honest, accurate and useful info. After all, you want to help others as much as possible. That’s the way business works. 💡
