How To Make A Living Online By Interviewing Experts

One thing that almost no one thinks about when it comes to making money online is you don't have to be the expert.

When coaching clients to make money online, they struggle with feeling like they are not an expert on a topic.

I would argue against that if you have lived on this planet for more than 30 years but that is for another today.

In this article, I am going to share with you how you can make a living just interviewing experts online and have people pay you for these interviews.

How do I know this works? I have been making a living doing it for nine years now and have conducted ninety-four interviews myself!

Here are the steps laid out for you:

Step One: Find a niche market.

A niche market is a need. The more pressing that need, the more likely people will pay for a solution.

Here are 5 examples of good niches:

- weight loss
- make money
- real estate
- hobbies
- pets

Step 2: Find an expert.

There are thousands of experts in niches. One place to find experts is Amazon.com. Find an expert and contact them through e-mail or by phone.

Tell them you would like to do an interview with them for an eBook you are putting together. Share with them that it is a great opportunity to promote their book and get exposure.

You can record the phone with a digital phone recorder or a service like BYO audio.

Step 3: Transcribe the interview.

Once you have the interview conducted, have the interview transcribed.

I use Melody Trantham over at WeScribeIt.com to make this happen quick. She has an option to get your transcipts back in 4-6 hours. I am shocked how quick her and her team are.

Step 4: Get a Professional eCover.

Now that you have your interview, get a professional eCover done for about $20-30. This will make your product look very professional and help with sales.

In closing, you now have a product that you can sell on the internet without being an expert yourself. Put up a website along with a paypal button and you will be in business! Repeat this process until you reach your financial goal.

Remember to take action on what you just learned. This is the REAL secret to making a living online.
