Episode 2083
One of the ways you can profit from your knowledge is by compiling that knowledge into a detailed guide, report, or owner’s manual of sorts—then selling that material. This is a tried-and-true model that has been around for many years and isn’t going anywhere.

If you’re looking for your next idea, this might be it.

But today’s caller has a smart clarifying question: what kinds of guides sell the best?
“I’ve heard a bunch of stories of someone writing an owner's manual or some other guide to a certain topic. Also, I think you used to sell guides like that, right?

I like writing and would love to start getting some passive income. I don't know if I'm a subject matter expert in anything, but I'm a quick learner. Before I race off to research and write something that no one wants, do some kinds of guide sell better than others? I assume the answer is yes, but how do I know the difference?”
