Build Your First 6-Figure Expertise Business

Read time: 4 minutes

Today, I’m going to show you how to monetize your expertise using 4 proven revenue models that turn knowledge into income.

By 2030, nearly 40% of workplace skills will be obsolete.

That’s a massive opportunity.

While everyone panics about AI taking jobs, smart solopreneurs are quietly building six-figure businesses.

They do it by teaching the exact skills companies are desperate to buy.

Here’s why this matters:

  • Universities are addressing less than 1% of real-world demand
  • Corporations lack internal expertise
  • Skills are changing faster than organizations can adapt

This gap creates a massive opening for solopreneurs who package knowledge as implementation, not information.

From building systems inside Fortune 500 companies, I’ve learned one core truth:

People pay for speed.
People pay for clarity.
People pay for results.

Unfortunately, most solopreneurs struggle to monetize their expertise because:

  • They don’t know which model fits their expertise
  • They underprice their knowledge and burn out trading time for money
  • They build courses that never launch or never generate revenue

Your knowledge isn’t the product. Results are

  • Scale knowledge, not time
  • Predictable revenue
  • Premium pricing
  • Growth without burnout

Step 1: Turn Your Knowledge Into a Course

This stops time-for-money.

Your knowledge is:
What you’ve learned, mastered, and done repeatedly.

If you’ve gotten results more than once, you can teach it.

Pick one problem.
Show exactly how to solve it.
In the right order.

No theory.
No context dumps.
Just execution.

Pricing

  • $297 → one problem, one outcome
  • $1,997 → full framework after traction

Start small.
Sell it.
Then build more.

Step 2: Package Your Knowledge as Coaching or Consulting

This creates cash fast.

If you know how to do something, people will pay you to help them do it.

You sell:

  • Experience
  • Judgment
  • Knowing what breaks and what works

Start high-touch.
Talk to real clients.

Most people get stuck here because they never move past 1-on-1.

Spot patterns.
After 5–10 clients, group coaching becomes obvious.
Turn them into systems.

Pricing

  • $500–$2,000 per session
  • $5,000+ group programs
  • $10-15K+ corporate workshops

This bankrolls everything else.

Step 3: Build a Community or Membership

This creates stability.

Recurring revenue buys:

  • Predictability
  • Leverage
  • Time

People join for access (to you), not content.

Give them:

  • Live calls
  • Slack channel
  • A private space
  • Updated resources
  • New training over time

You’re selling ongoing proximity.

Pricing

  • $20-97/month core membership
  • $2,497 premium or certification tier

This compounds.

Step 4: Create Done-With-You Services

This maximizes income.

You teach.
You guide.
They execute.

That looks like:

  • Weekly calls
  • Reviewing work
  • Direct feedback

You stop mistakes before they cost money.

You’re not selling info.
You’re selling certainty.

Pricing

  • $10,000–$25,000 for 90-day programs

This is where expertise pays best.

This is the same model I’ve used to build and scale my multiple 6-figure expertise businesses.
