These Two Skills Have Made me Over 30,000 USD

Growing up, I often joked with my mom about the two skills I believed would shape my future. Little did I know how right I would be.

Today, everything I do revolves around just two skills, and I’m convinced that these two high-paying skills should be taken seriously by everyone.

In this newsletter, I’ll share with you not just the two skills, but also the various ways I have made money with these skills?— just so you can consider doing the same.

So, what are these two skills?

Writing and speaking.

Yes, these two skills are responsible for my livelihood.

After completing my first degree, I ventured into the corporate world, working in administrative roles like a personal assistant and secretarial positions. But by 2019, I found myself weary of the monotonous routine of administrative work, and I decided to take a leap of faith – I resigned.

In 2020, I took the bold step to establish my own agency specializing in content development. Fast forward to today, I have made over $30,000, and it’s all been done from the comfort of my home.

Mastering the art of writing and speaking can be a game-changer for anyone, whether you’re a career professional, entrepreneur, or freelancer.

It’s not just about making money; it’s about recognizing that these skills are essential for standing out in your chosen career path. Effective communication is vital, whether you’re aiming to connect with others, promote your work, or simply engage in everyday interactions.

For me, it’s been about everything?— making money, building a community by sharing my thoughts and ideas and simply communicating with people.

Here are the top seven ways I make money from these two skills:

1. Ghostwriting

Imagine using your writing prowess to craft content for others, often under their name.

Businesses, professionals, and even celebrities frequently seek skilled ghostwriters to create articles, blog posts, and even books.

This hidden talent can earn you substantial income while maintaining anonymity.

In the last three years, I have written over 300 hundred articles. If you need a ghostwriter?for?your?Web/Blog,?social?media?or?a?book?project, send me an email [email protected]

2. Ebooks

Ebooks are digital treasures. Writing and self-publishing ebooks on platforms like Amazon Kindle can provide a consistent revenue stream.

Share your expertise or creativity through these virtual pages and let your writing skills shine.

3. Coaching upcoming writers

Having worked as a professional writer for over 6 years, in 2020 I decided to turn the learnings from my writing journey into a guide for aspiring writers. So I began Offering coaching and mentorship services which has been both fulfilling and financially rewarding.

If you’re aspiring to be a professional writer and you need some mentorship, shoot me a mail at [email protected] or send me a DM.

4. Coaching aspiring freelancers

Just like I began with writers, I also began to leverage my skills and experience to coach those looking to navigate the freelance world.

I teach them the ropes, from finding clients to managing their careers effectively and I have had some huge successes from a few students.

5. Courses

Online education is booming, and there’s a demand for quality courses. Share your knowledge and expertise with a global audience and generate income while doing so.

You too can consider creating and selling courses on writing and speaking?— or any other skill.

After two years of working with students, I turned my coaching materials into a full course?— The Digital Millionaire.

6. Emcee and event compere

Exceptional speaking skills can open doors to a unique opportunity: hosting events. As an emcee or compere, you’ll engage and captivate audiences at conferences, ceremonies, and gatherings. It’s a delightful mix of public speaking and entertainment.

7. Public speaking

Public speaking engagements are a platform to showcase your communication skills. Conferences, seminars, and webinars welcome experts to share their insights.

Not only do you share knowledge, but you also earn speaking fees, elevating your profile.

In the last three years, I have welcomed several invites to share my story and my knowledge and experience on how to transition from 9–5 to entrepreneurship or freelancing, as well as insights and tips about the gig economy.

I am open to more of such speaking gigs. Have any event you think I’m a fit for?
