You’d think this would be pretty tough, right? I’d have to agree with you. I would say a good, gigantic portion of making money online has something to do with content generation, or at least from my perspective as a primarily info-product generator. However, that shouldn’t discourage you. I’m always looking for ways to get my wife involved in the business and just have some of her creative awesomeness added to it.

But since most of my stuff is videos, audio or books, and she doesn’t enjoy writing that much, it’s tough. It’s tough to see where she fits in best and that she enjoys the most. However, whenever we’re talking about process or creative items or planning or marketing, or basically the nuts and bolts behind the scene, she perks up. It’s interesting and she can get involved in that.
On the same note, she’s also extremely interested in e-commerce. I haven’t broached that area of business just yet, but there’s not nearly as much content to it that you have to do yourself if you don’t want to. You’re not writing books and doing stuff like that, you’re posting products. Maybe doing descriptions or paying people to do descriptions. But it’s a completely different beast. But don’t get discouraged. At first I was discouraged until I made it a point to actually look for more stuff.
If you don’t like writing and you want to do more online to make money, to bring more money into your life and to help people out that way, don’t get discouraged. There’s so much more to do. You can do e-commerce. You can do creative things like handcrafted stuff for Etsy or T-shirts on many of the whatever T-shirt sites there are now. I haven’t checked in awhile. When I was looking into it, it was Zazzle and Moo.com, stuff like that.
But freelancing, artistic, design, programming – these kinds of things, there’s tons and tons of money in them that don’t require A++ english, college-level grade skills. It’s just a matter of flipping your brain up and paying attention to some of the other things that are out there. Affiliate marketing, e-commerce, creative design. For anyone else out there that’s a little bit discouraged, that feels like wherever you look it’s nothing but content generation, content marketing, content this, content that – content is anything. Make what works best for you and that you’re good at.
Keep at it and eventually it will start making sense and I mean that in both the literal and the pun-y way. Just thought I’d share that. My wife got excited when I mentioned some things that just hit the stuff that she was interested in, and I just love seeing her face light up like that. So there you go, keep looking, find what works, iterate and go to town.
