Just got my first client payout from a YouTube creator, and the best part? He was a former coworker from years ago. My background in Tech and as a College Professor gave me the credibility he needed in two key areas:
Tools & Systems: I understand the back-end tech stack.
Teaching & Clarity: I can clearly explain the concepts.
If you have a skill or expertise that's just a few steps ahead of someone else, you are ready to help (and get paid for it).
