How Do I Monetize That? : An Article about how to capitalize upon what is already known, already being done, already being enjoyed.
FL, May
08/MidnightOutpost.com/ Where can I go? “Now this is a place to
go when 'you' have no other place to go at midnight.” –
How Do I Monetize That – We have decided to republish one of our most popular articles originally published Feb 5, 2008! This 6 page "booklet" was originally written to be sold as a booklet. Now we are publishing it on MidnightOutpost.com at no monetary cost to you (Now, supported by our advertising revenue)! BTW, No one asked for a refund (The "booklet" and now the article offered a 100% refund of the purchase price)!
This booklet is written to myself. My bossy, controlling,
manipulative, insecure self is talking to my secure, laid back, doing
what I want to do, not listening to insecurity, self. How do I tell
the difference? The secure self usually talks about I. The insecure
self usually talks about you!
As I am struggling with this idea I recognize that I have many
interest, abilities, experiences, and knowledge. I even toyed with
the idea of a title, like they were 150 years ago... (some were long
enough to be a sentence, like “An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations: Premium Edition by Adam Smith
) ...like “How
Do I Effectively Monetize my Knowledge, Experiences, Abilities, and
Interest, Etc.” by Douglas Medley.
I even thought about “How Do I Make Money by Doing What I
Like To Do” and other more hype than substance titles. I
didn't like the idea of a substantive booklet having a “hype”
title!
Let me digress for a moment, if you believe at any time this
booklet is not effectively improving your ability to monetize your
interest then please ask for a refund, I will be happy to give you a
refund in full during the 7 days after I receive payment for this
book.
Some people, I actually believe most people, make a description
and a list of their experiences, knowledge, and abilities and attempt
to monetize that without much regard for their interest. These
people call this a resume and submit it to various other people,
usually within a company, asking to be paid for their efforts at the
direction of that person, and they call this endeavor, a “job!”
This is not what I want! Since most people do not like their job
then I believe that that is not what they want either. The more that
I like something the less I call it “work” or a “job.”
If you indeed want a job, then please ask for a refund! This
booklet, I believe, will not help you achieve that! If you really want a job then please try Post a Job on Yahoo! HotJobs
A job limits your monetization from usually one, but sometimes
more, individual person or company. That destroys the competition
for your interest and therefore it is monopolistic or oligarchy
pricing for your interest. Competitive or high bidder for your
interest will probably be just as high and has no limit on the upside.
There is less security with this approach as well.
One of my best friends in my past, (Joseph, or Joe, now a former
friend - as he ask me to leave, which I did, when I left I made an
open ended note to him so that he could respond (which I have not
gotten if he did – so now he is a former friend) taught me that
“Why” is not a good question to know the answer. “What”
is not a good question to know the answer to, along with “who,
when, where.” “How” is often the question in which
that I want to know the answer. If I know how to do something then
all the other questions often get answered automatically and are no
longer questions!
If I am not getting who, what, where, when, why, I want then maybe
I am not asking the right “HOW” do I get it question.
So a better title, and therefore question to myself may be, “How
do I Effectively Monetize the Things That I Already Enjoy Doing?”
