Welcome to The Side Hustle Box

Today’s issue is about “How to turn your knowledge into 5 figures business in 3 easy steps”:

1. Produce

2. Setup

3. Promote

Last year I stumbled upon one Twitter profile and found that it was just making money via Twitter and Smartphone by turning his skills into income.

And I jumped in to try… and found it is working for me. (I tried selling a free product)

Without more suspense, let me break down the whole strategy & tools for you…

Resources you need to Turn your Skills into Income:

• Twitter profile

• Gumroad profile (Free plan)

• WordPad\Google Docs

• Canva (Free plan)

Note: The steps mentioned in below Part 1 and Part 2 are One-time activities.

Part 1: Produce

Note: Here, I choose the simplest form of Digital Product example “eBook”, but you can sell anything like files, audio, membership, video course, templates, etc. via the same strategy.

(In other cases only this Digital Product creation part will change as there are different ways to create different products.)

Steps:

1. Open WordPad or Google Docs.

2. Select an existing skill that you have and find out if you can address the audience's problem with that skill. (For this Quora QnA site would be best to find out what questions the audience asking and needs help with)

3. Add 5-6 compelling headlines on WordPad\Docs, which will serve as the chapters in your eBook.

4. Expand on each heading by writing paragraphs, incorporating relevant images, and Title your eBook.

5. Go to Canva.

6. Create a visually appealing book cover image using Canva.

7. Insert the cover image into the first page of your WordPad document.

8. Save your eBook as a PDF file.

9. Congratulations! Your eBook\digital product is now complete.

Part 2: Setup

1. Visit Gumroad.com and register/log in for a free account.

2. Upload your eBook onto the platform. (You can find many YouTube videos on how to upload an eBook or files on Gumroad if you need guidance.)

3. Fill out all the necessary profile details and configure your product settings.

4. Click on the "Publish" button to make your eBook available.

5. Once published, grab the link to your eBook.

Part 3: Promote

To maximize your earnings, follow these steps using your smartphone:

1. Install Twitter on your smartphone and create a profile if you don't already have one. Twitter is recommended because Gumroad creators have found success with their audience, making it easier to sell there.

2. Ensure that your Twitter profile is relevant to the niche of the eBook you are selling. This will make it easier to attract potential buyers.

3. Promote your eBooks by sharing valuable tweets, creating engaging threads, and providing value-packed content.

4. Engage with other accounts in the same niche by liking and commenting on their tweets. This increases the visibility of your Twitter profile.

5. As a pro tip, include a link to your eBook in your bio and pin a tweet containing the eBook link at the top of your profile.

6. Gumroad offers email marketing features so you can offer some other lead magnets for free and collect emails.

7. In the backend, via emails you can sell your Digital Product.

Voila! That’s it.

Here are more secret insider strategies on this how you can create & sell Digital products like eBook

By following these steps and utilizing Twitter or Medium.com as a platform, you can effectively promote your eBooks\Digital product and increase your chances of making sales.
