Unlocking Your Potential: Transforming Skills into Income
Written on
Chapter 1: Assessing Your Value
Are you truly maximizing your earning potential? Recently, I was taken aback by the income of one of my students. It sparked a thought: "How many others find themselves in the same situation?"
Just last week, during a Zoom session, I learned about her impressive skillset which could easily be valued at around $30,000 monthly. She has crafted numerous SEO-optimized blog posts, attracting hundreds of thousands of visitors. After a significant traffic drop due to Google’s algorithm changes, she pivoted to Pinterest marketing and managed to draw in 70,000 additional monthly visitors.
Given her expertise, one would assume she'd be earning a six-figure income. Surprisingly, she’s only bringing in a few thousand dollars each month.
Upon further investigation, I discovered the root of the issue. Her blog monetization relies heavily on advertisements, which often requires massive traffic for minimal returns. Although she offers a course on Pinterest marketing, its pricing is far too low—I'd suggest pricing it at least five times higher, perhaps even tenfold.
With her skill set, she could develop a high-ticket service and market it to businesses and niche site owners eager to boost their traffic. Despite having substantial engagement, she's missing out on capturing the value she generates due to a lack of premium offerings.
I assisted her in formulating a new high-ticket service that has the potential to multiply her income tenfold using the same skill set. I provided her with the "Words to Dollars" script to enhance her traffic conversion. Although she's currently traveling, I'm confident that her new offer, launching at the end of next month, will be a game-changer thanks to some strategic adjustments.
What about you? Does this resonate with your situation, even if your traffic levels are modest?
I would wager that you are not earning what you truly deserve.
Consider writers, for example. Many spend countless hours crafting articles that yield a mere $100 if they're fortunate. However, there are companies willing to pay between $500 to $1,000 per article, and I can attest to that because that’s what I earn.
Writers can create a compelling offer and sell it, just like I did when I converted a Medium article into a $6,000 client. While the article itself generated only $15 in royalties, the backend profit was substantial.
You might possess skills applicable to your job, but there’s often a ceiling on your earnings. Take my student who was a therapist; she transitioned to high-ticket group coaching to maximize her income in less time.
Small adjustments can lead to significant results.
Sometimes, it involves rethinking what you sell—transforming a $5 e-book into a $5,000 program. Other times, it means changing your target audience, such as offering premium email marketing services to high-value clients rather than competing for low-paying gigs on platforms like Upwork.
Additionally, it could entail finding a different avenue for your skills—leveraging writing to secure high-ticket coaching or B2B service clients instead of merely generating content for audience growth and minimal earnings on platforms like Medium.
The key takeaway? You don’t need external resources to increase your income. You only need to refine how you package your existing skills.
This is precisely the challenge we address in "Words to Dollars." We help transform your existing skills and content into an additional $5,000 to $10,000 monthly through strategic changes.
