Make Money while you Sleep with passive income!

A man named Pat Flynn once taught the business internet how to make money while you sleep, with a concept called ‘passive income’.

Nowadays, one of the top search terms on Google is “best online courses websites” as people around the world attempt to get a leg up in this space, and monetise their acquired knowledge.

But online courses are not the only way to monetise your knowledge, as online course marketing expert Tom Libelt explains in this episode of “Making Conversations Count.”

“Field of Dreams” told us that if we build it, they will come. But they probably won’t actually…

During this episode, Tom lifts the curtain on how most speakers get their apparent success at large speaking events.

He explains to Wendy that they’re usually getting a helping hand from the organisers, and so if their ideas and content suck, they’re probably not going to realise it until they put it to market.

Hint: that speaker’s popularity might not be entirely authentic.

Humble beginnings

Tom believes that if you truly want to make money from online courses, you’ve got to think it through a bit more, and really do your market research.

Be proactive in understanding who you can help, and work with them to steer you to your winning product.

Wendy Harris Making Conversations Count Podcast

What can I tell you about me?! I'm very good at getting other people to talk about themselves. Having been in the sales arena for over 3 decades, my skillset has developed to enable others to introduce their services to other businesses. Talking about myself always feels odd.

But here goes. I've made over 2 million phone calls in my career, helped 1000's people pick up the phone and have better conversations which has leaked into life in general, I've created billions of £££'s in opportunities to do business.

I love nothing more than listening to other people's stories and gently guiding people to share their insights with others.

Whenever I'm in training it's always interactive and fun. I truly believe we learn by being involved.

It's why I started my podcast, to share these stories and be helpful to the business community. I also wrote a book with many of my training exercises in it for those starting out as the demands of your cash flow when you get going mean there's often a wheel not oiled as it should be.

For me, conversations is where it all happens.
