How to Make Millions From Your Knowledge or Skills This Year
I started making money from my skill as far back as 2019, during my NYSC.
You’ve probably come across my story, how I hired someone to design my blog, but what he delivered wasn’t quite what I had in mind.
I remember staring at that site like, “Precious, this is not it.”
So, I said to myself, “Since you’ll be blogging for a while, why not learn how to design your own website? At least you won’t have to chase someone to update your own work.”
That one decision born out of frustration—set me up for life.
In less than 2 months, I had learned website design. I’m a fast learner, so I picked it up quickly.
One day, a friend in the family house saw what I’d done and asked me to design for him. I think I charged him around 30,000 then. Another person came, then another. The money kept rolling in from that one skill.
Even just days to my wedding in 2022, I charged 500,000 for a website project. I still design sales pages for clients to this day.
All because I decided to take ownership of a skill that solved a personal problem.
Now it’s your turn.
Maybe you’re wondering:
“What do I even know that someone will pay for?”
Or maybe you’ve said before, “I don’t have any skill, Precious.”
Let me tell you the truth: That’s not true.
You already know or enjoy something that can make you money, if only you’ll package and position it right.
Let me show you 3 simple ways to turn what you already know, love, or enjoy into money (and potentially millions) this year:
1. Monetise What You Know or Do
This is the most direct route. What do you already know how to do? What have you learned from school, work experience, volunteering, or even survival?
Examples:
You’ve worked at a bank for years, maybe even in investment or savings advisory.
You can become a personal finance coach, teaching working-class people how to save, invest, and manage money better.
You studied Law and know how to draft agreements and read documents.
You can teach real estate investors or business owners how to avoid getting scammed by helping them understand what to check in contracts.
You know how to bake cakes or make shawarma? You can teach beginners through online classes or create a weekend bootcamp for kids and teens.
ACTION: Make a list of 5 things you know how to do well. These can be professional, domestic, or even “random” things.
Then ask yourself: Who needs this knowledge?
How can I turn this into a service, product, or training?
2. Monetise What You Love
Some of us have hobbies or interests that we absolutely enjoy. You may not even realize people would pay you for them.
But with the right offer and structure, your passion can pay you.
Examples:
You love DIY crafts and décor? Start a YouTube channel or even start here on Facebook showing tutorials, then sell craft kits or host paid virtual workshops.
You love makeup? Start a series teaching beginner-friendly tutorials and offer makeup classes or personal shopping services.
You love organizing and planning? Offer virtual assistance services, help people declutter their homes or plan their events.
ACTION: Identify 1 thing you love doing, even if you’d do it for free.
Then research 3 people online who are already making money from that thing. Study how they offer their service or package their knowledge. Model it.
3. Monetise What You Enjoy Talking or Writing About
If you’re that person who always finds themselves educating others about a certain topic, or you love to write long threads, posts, or voice notes about a subject, you’ve got something valuable.
Examples:
You’re always advising people about their careers? Package that into a career clarity program or resume writing service.
You love talking about relationships and emotional intelligence? You can start a teach these tooics here on Facebook, then monetize through coaching, courses, or sponsorship.
Build an audience, then sell your insight through ebooks, strategy calls, or memberships.
ACTION: Pick your favourite topic of conversation. What do people come to you for advice on?
Create a simple 3-post content series about that topic this week on your social media. Watch who engages–those are your potential buyers.
You don’t need to have 5 different skills or 10 digital products.
You just need to identify one thing, position yourself well, and start talking about it confidently.
Start with what you know. Build with what you love. And show up with what you enjoy.
If I could go from 30k websites to six-figure projects just by starting with frustration.
Imagine what you can do by starting with intention.
You feel me?
I’m rooting for you.
