You Know More Than You May Know What to Do With
Discover five ways to turn what you already know into income, impact, and opportunities.
You have experience. Ideas. Knowledge. Maybe you have already written a book, created a program, taught a workshop, or shared years of helpful advice.
Yet you may still be wondering:
How can I get more mileage from what I already know?
The TIPS Method Sampler introduces you to five practical ways your knowledge can work harder for you. You will take a brief peek at each possibility, try a small part of it, and begin your own Personal Possibilities Map.
You are creating possibilities, not making major decisions.
A Quick Welcome From Paulette
What Is The TIPS Method?
The TIPS Method helps you move from having knowledge to recognizing what you can do with it.
Tap into what you already have.
Identify what you want to use now.
Possibilities for the forms it can take and the ways it can be used.
Share it with organizations of all sizes.
The Sampler gives you a guided introduction to this process and five ways it can lead to new income and greater impact.
Five Possibilities to Explore
Monetize Your How-To Tips
Turn what you know into clear, useful tips that can become the foundation for many products, services, and opportunities.
You will choose one area of your knowledge and begin shaping it into a simple, usable tip.
Elevate Your Amazon Book Sales
Amazon can sell your book. It can also become the beginning of a longer relationship between you and your readers.
You will explore a simple way to invite Amazon buyers back to you so you can continue serving them.
Create Bulk Sales
Instead of selling one copy at a time, you can sell many copies to one buyer. Businesses, associations, nonprofits, and other organizations buy content for customers, members, employees, donors, event attendees, and the communities they serve.
You will identify one organization that may have a reason to buy your content in quantity.
License Your Content
Your content can earn income while you continue to own it. Licensing allows another person or organization to use your content under the terms of a written agreement. That use may involve print, digital delivery, another language, a training program, or something else entirely.
You will consider one piece of your content that another organization may find useful.
Explore Private Donor Sponsorship
A private donor can fund books, booklets, training, or other materials for people served by a nonprofit organization. The donor supports a cause that matters to them. The nonprofit receives useful materials. The content creator is paid.
You will identify an audience, an organization serving that audience, and a possible reason a donor may want to help.
What You Will Create
As you move through the Sampler, you will add one starter idea from each possibility to your Personal Possibilities Map.
By the end, you will have:
- Five possible directions for using what you already know
- A clearer sense of which possibilities appeal to you
- Ideas for audiences and organizations you may want to serve
- Possible decision-makers to contact
- A practical next step based on where you are now
You may discover that one possibility stands out immediately. You may also discover that several possibilities can work together. This is an AND, not OR approach.
