In my last post I wrote briefly, how to earn money on your passion. In this post. I will highlight, what are the possibilities, which I was or will be using according to the medium, you are thinking about using. You are never really sure, how people might find you. There are many online platforms ranging from Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Vimeo up to LinkedIn. My suggestion is to try a few, not all of them, and see, what works best for you. Before you send any your content anywhere, be aware of the terms of usage of platform, you are using. For instance, there are sites, where if you post anything, it is owned by the site itself. Check the conditions in advance! If you want to sell your ideas, people need to know, you know your domain really well. A good way, how to express your skills, is to write articles. Do you know a lot about schooling kids? You are an expert in international relationships? Do you have great tips, how to learn quickly languages? Anything...

How to make money from your passion?

Quite a lot of people will tell you, you have to find a secure job, build a stable carer and maybe later start some company aside, when time is right. I have a different opinion.   As WarrenBuffett masterfully puts it: “There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You will jump out of bed in the morning. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don't like because you think it will look good on your resume. Isn't that a little like saving up sex for your old age?” So how can you earn a living by your passion? A great book on how to make money from your passion is Gary Vaynerchuk´s Crush It . In this book he advices to basically put your creations online, build up your brand over time, gather followers, subscribers and eventually you will get recognized. Anyone has time to do this. You are most likely to work 8 hours a day in a job, sleep 8 hours and then you have free 8 hours to do anything y...

If you are wondering, what people search for on the internet, the easiest way, how to find out is to go to Google´s own site storing all the results for searches. Just visit Google Trends  and search for any word, you are interested in. It is a quick way, hot  to find, what people need.  You don’t find the actual numerical numbers, just relative stats in time. But you can easily compare searches in time. For Instance I compared down bellow the seaches for "business ideas" and "online business". There are about 50 % more seaches for "business ideas" and this difference is more or less constant in period 2012-2016. 

What should I do? How can I earn money?

I have read and heard quite a few personal stories, reports, and books on how to start your own freelancing career. So here is my strategy, if I distil all the basics. First, you have to identify, what are you good at and what can you provide to people. it has to be something, which would people actually pay for. Ramit Sethi is a NY Times bestselling author on finance and business. I read his “I Will Teach You To Be Rich” and I loved it. Ramit gives a good way, how to practically test this idea. Testing is the absolute necessity in order not to waste time. If you start a business that is doomed, since the beginning, you basically followed a way to a dead end. You have to understand, which customer you are serving, what they want (it is much better, if you help them solve a burning problem) and how much money they have. Ramit advices to use a pay certainty technique. Think about your customer, who are they? Old women, young guys, busy businessmen? First, asks ...

Hi and welcome to my blog, I am 29 year old man from Prague, Czech Republic currently finishing a PhD in Economics and working in big Czech energy corporation. Lately I decided, I need to change some aspects of my life. I want to share with you my ideas and motivation, if you are trying to start a new chapter in your life. There is quite a lot of on my plate – writing a PhD, working part-time at corporation, helping my friends with our charity club, helping out my parents with stuff around the house … and after all that I still got plenty of time to feel underappreciated and not really expressing myself fully. In the last year I have been going through quite a lot of personal development curses, books, clubs. And I found out, that I lead a pretty consumer oriented life. A lot of days is for me about going to work, doing my 9 to 5 there, working on translations and administrative tasks , going for lunch at 1 pm, doing some shopping going to school afterwards, teaching stu...
