How to Monetize Your Knowledge with a Course, Video, or eBook (Step-by-Step Guide)

You already know things people are still out here trying to figure out.
Not just surface-level stuff—but real-life lessons you had to learn the hard way.
Things that could save somebody time, money, stress... maybe even years.

But turning that into something you can actually sell? That’s where most folks get stuck, because the 'how' can feel complicated or just plain overwhelming. I’m not about that. 

In this guide, I’m breaking it all the way down.

 You’ll learn how to take what you already know—your story, your process, your transformation—and turn it into something digital:

No beating around the bush, no gatekeeping—just a step-by-step strategy that works.

Ask yourself:

• What’s something I had to teach myself?
• What do people always ask me for help with?
• What advice would I give to the old me?

Your knowledge doesn’t have to be shiny o
