Here it is after our summer hiatus, the much delayed follow-up post in the Divorce Your Job series on sharing what you know. Yes, it’s later in the day than it should be but it’s still on schedule since it’s Friday.

 

While you can pretty much find any and everything on the internet nowadays sometimes people just need or want that face-to-face or one-on-one interaction to answer any specific questions they have. Thus a money-making opportunity for you arises.

Think about the things you know how to do well. Don’t exclude anything no matter how insignificant you may think it is. Great at making a spreadsheet or formatting a document file? Know the ins and outs of organizing a closet? Or maybe you’re Mr. Fix-it when it comes to an assortment of household repairs? Then consider teaching or tutoring someone in your specific skills.

There are a variety of sites out there that do everything from connecting you with potential clients to helping you create an online instructional program. Here are just a few:

Thumbtack
You’ll notice our Thumbtack widget in the left sidebar. We use this site for the tutoring side of ECV but you can also use it if you perform different services like photography and event entertainment. You set up your profile and the site funnels clients in your area to you. To respond to  a potential client, you have to buy quotes for a nominal fee. Still it’s a good way to expand your client base in your quest towards divorcing your day job.

Udemy and Skillshare
These sites are like online academies that you can apply to be an instructor and create your own course. While Udemy says that it’s free to create your course, Skillshare mentions that the cost to create your online course can vary based on the tools you use. If anyone has used either of these, please tell what you thought of them.

Also if you know of any other sites that we should know about, please mention them in the comments.
