In this archived episode of the Digipire Podcast, I look at ways you can take the knowledge, skills, and experience you already have and use them to earn money online.

You don't necessarily have to start from scratch or become an expert in something completely new. Whether you're an accountant, nurse, electrician, plumber, computer expert, mechanic, attorney, or simply someone with valuable experience in a particular field, there may already be opportunities to turn that knowledge into an online income stream.

I discuss platforms such as JustAnswer, where experts can earn money answering questions online, as well as Clarity, which allows people to monetize their expertise through phone consultations.

Before getting into the main topic, I also take a nostalgic look back at AOL and the rise and fall of online chat rooms—including some memories of how I used chat rooms during the early days of affiliate marketing. I also discuss Microsoft's expansion of OneDrive storage, Google's cloud storage options, and the controversy surrounding the Kik messaging app and cryptocurrency.
I also answer listener questions from an earlier episode about self-publishing through Amazon Kindle, including whether publishing is free, using PLR content, and how Kindle books can be used for more than simply earning royalties.

In Episode 9 of the Digipire Podcast, John Higginbotham explores the world of self-publishing and how Amazon can be used to build another piece of your digital empire.
We look at why self-publishing has become such an attractive alternative to traditional publishing, including greater creative control, faster publishing, the ability to write under pen names, and the potential for higher royalties.

John also discusses some of the realities that come with going it alone. Publishing the book is only part of the equation—you still need to find an audience, market your work, create a professional cover, handle editing, and decide which niches are worth pursuing.

Topics discussed include:

• The advantages and disadvantages of self-publishing  
• Using pen names for different niches and genres  
• How much money self-published authors can potentially make  
• Finding profitable book niches  
• Using tools such as Publisher Rocket and Scrivener  
• Hiring ghostwriters and outsourcing parts of the publishing process  
• Marketing your book after publication  
• Promoting books through services such as BookBub and Smashwords  
• Using your books to build an email list and create additional revenue opportunities

The episode also includes e-commerce news and a listener Q&A covering several common questions about publishing through Amazon.

In Episode 8 of the Digipire Podcast, I explore several different ways to sell digital products and build income-producing assets online.

I discuss affiliate marketing through platforms like ClickBank, CPA networks, contextual advertising such as Google AdSense, self-publishing, white-label products and services, and even buying existing websites and online businesses that are already generating revenue.

I also share some of my own experiences running both online businesses and a brick-and-mortar store—and why the scalability and lower overhead of online business has always fascinated me.
Along the way, I talk about researching successful e-commerce stores, learning from what other online businesses are doing, the advantages and disadvantages of different business models, and why owning the customer relationship can become so important as your business grows.

If you're looking for ideas for building your own digital income streams—or you're simply curious about the many different ways people make money online—this episode offers plenty of possibilities to explore.
