Make Money By Offering Your Expert Advice

A lot of companies need help but don't have the resources to hire someone full-time, but they will hire someone to provide consulting. Do you have a specialty in something? Marketing, advertising, law, etc.?

Since consulting is usually by the hour, you can charge $90-120+ an hour and it would be a reasonable price. If you can get under the radars of a few couple companies, then you could potentially make a few hundred or thousand extra dollars a month.

How to Get Started

1. Make some business cards for yourself and start a small consulting firm. You could be the sole employee.

2. Call up some companies in industries that you've worked in and offer them your services. Highlight your accomplishments and how you could potentially help the company save X amount of dollars or help get X percentage more customers, etc. If they don't need your services, ask if you can send your business card or email your contact information in case they might be need your services in the future.

3. Contact your friends, family, and old co-workers and let them know what you're doing and have them spread the word. You might even have old employers who might be interested in your advice if you were a highly valued employee.

4. Once you get a few clients, you should be able to generate a couple hundred or thousand dollars a month.
