Learn how to make money and
work for yourself by selling your ideas.
Do you know how to make money?
If you're like most of us, you've followed the road most traveled:
school, internships, entry-level positions. You probably spend
forty hours or more toiling behind a desk for a paycheck that
barely covers your expenses. This may be an excellent way
to make money for your boss or company, but who is making
money for you? Wouldn't you rather be working for yourself?
“Most of us were taught
the wrong way to make money,” explains marketing strategist
Stefanie Hartman. “Ninety-seven out of every one hundred
people will go their entire lives without learning the right
way to make money. The good news is that virtually anyone
can be taught how to make six figures annually.”
Hartman suggests that there
are three strategies for making money:
1. Trade time for money. This
is most likely the strategy you've employed up to this point.
In this scenario, you work; they pay - barely. Most of us
spend all of our time and energy making money for someone
else instead of spending time with our friends and families.
Even if we do manage to make a decent living, we hardly have
the time to enjoy it.
2. Invest money for money.
Do you have money to lose? Because the only way to make money
by investing is if you can afford to risk losing your initial
investment. Most of us can't, which is why only about 3% of
the population are successfully using this strategy to make
money.
3. Trade value for money.
Using this strategy, people just like you are learning how
to make money by selling their ideas. They're capitalizing
on their own imaginations, and are spending next to nothing
to get started.
Do you want to work for yourself,
make six figures, set your own hours and finally have time
for your family? If you think you're ready to start making
money for yourself, you want door number three.
“Money is simply an
exchange or reward for something,” says Hartman. “That
something is either time or value. If value is your preference
than your first step is to define your value. What do you
have to give that will enrich another's life or business?”
Everyone has value. Everyone
has a special knack, a particular talent, or a wealth of knowledge
not possessed by others. Maybe you know how to help people
conquer their fears. Perhaps you are an expert at organizing,
decorating, or fixing home appliances. The point is that you
know something that you can teach to others; and people will
gladly pay you to learn.
“In real life we constantly
trade information with our friends and family to help them
out,” says Hartman. “So why not turn that into
a business? Why not share your information with even more
people, and make money in the process?”
Hartman goes on to explain
that it's pointless for us to struggle for years making money
for someone else. “Wouldn't you love to make six figures
a year from your couch or home office?” she asks. “Making
money has nothing to do with age, formal education, gender
or geography.”
“Remember,” says
Hartman, “everyone has value! Millions of people are
using intellectual property marketing to make money for themselves.
So can you.”
