Sometimes in life it is possible to become an expert in a particular area without even realising it. All those teenage geeks gaming away in their bedrooms become amazingly good at computer programming, and all those obsessive bloggers get incredibly skilled at social networking. These are skills which are actually marketable if presented in the right way, and if you are a secret expert perhaps you could become a mentoring master.
There are lots of businesses out there who know very little about how to deal in a virtual market, how to present and promote themselves online and what exactly they should be doing with their websites. If you are in a position to explain the intricacies of things like webhosting and offer sound advice then you could potentially have a new business idea.
WordPress hosts are not the only thing some companies know nothing about. All aspects of dealing with providers, setting up sites and the technical aspects of running them are mysteries to entrepreneurs with no appropriate knowledge. Even when it comes to seemingly obvious things like antivirus protection and choosing the right antivirus software to protect your business from all the dangers of the modern digital world, you’d be surprised to see how many businesses are lacking the technical knowledge to make the right decisions. This is a market to tap into if you consider yourself an expert and could definitely generate interest from businesses who need your help. One way to do this would be to look for sites which you believe could be improved and approach their owners, another would be simply to let it be known virally that you are available and see what comes your way.
Think of it as therapy for yourself as well! How many times have you moaned about the functionality of a website you have visited? Well now is your chance to fix some of the problems, and maybe even get paid for it too. Mentoring can be very rewarding and would be a great way of putting all those hours hunched over your laptop to good use!
