So number five is one-on-one tutoring or consulting and this is one of my absolute favorite ones and I'm going to tell you exactly how I started on this one because the story is the lesson. Before pharmacy school, I had to take an entrance exam called the PCAT. Now the PCAT is the Pharmacy College Admissions Test and I scored almost a perfect score on it, not because I'm some kind of genius, it's because I found the right resources to study from. You see, there's this guide called Dr. Collins study guide and roughly 30% of the questions on the actual test were nearly word for word from his materials. I don't know if he had some kind of insider or what was going on there, but his materials basically made the test like 10 times easier. And once I took the test and I scored really well on it, other people in my classes and my friends started asking me to tutor them. And I did the first couple sessions for free, then it started taking up way too much of my time and so I started charging $80 an hour and I was sure that nobody would pay for that, but people paid for it. Then I raised my rate to $100 an hour, people still paid for it. Then eventually I got up to $180 an hour and people still paid. And at that point I was making between $500 and $1,000 a month in just a few hours of consultation work here and there. Now here's the principle that made it work: scarcity creates value. There weren't many people locally who would score extremely well on that very specific test. So even though my market was tiny, I had almost no competition inside of it. Plus it was a very rare skill set in general. And this is the move for anyone with a full-time job. You almost certainly have something at work that you do better than 95% of people on the internet. You've just gotten so close to it that you can't see it as valuable anymore. A nurse with strong pharmacology knowledge who could write study guides for nursing students. A senior software engineer who passed the systems design interview at a Fortune 50 company and could coach others on how to do it. Someone with a neuro/psych background who could apply that to UX design consulting. Any of those people can pull $80 to up to $200 an hour in consulting starting this week. And if you don't believe me, then check out this channel right here, The Organic Chemistry Tutor. They have been making simple organic chemistry videos that to be completely honest with you, have really bad audio and pretty bad video quality in general. Now if you look at this channel, just from AdSense alone, they're making $189,000 a month. And that's just from AdSense alone. We're not talking affiliate marketing, selling their own products and services, sponsorships, any of that stuff. Just from AdSense alone, just the ads that pop up on their channel, they're making $189,000 a month. And the craziest thing is, they actually haven't even uploaded a video in two months. Right? So they barely even upload videos and even even like two months ago, they uploaded two videos the entire month. So one video every two weeks. And so they barely even upload videos and they're still making $189,000 a month from AdSense. So if you think that your skill isn't something that you can monetize and you can actually charge people, you know, either by making it for free like a YouTube video
