Like many “how to” books you can jump around on topics that interest you. Nothing stood out from the rest but it wasn’t a bad read. I didn’t love it but I did like it.

Really informative book that clears doubts and gives concrete tips and steps to make the most out of your knowledge. I would recommend it to people looking for starting their business, and to know how to get more traction.

This book was so wonderful. It took my doubts and explained them in ways that made so much sense and really helped pull me through my negative thoughts of if I am qualified or know enough on a subject to help others. A lot of the information I already knew, but the way Graham Cochrane presented it, was easy to understand, not overwhelming, well thought out, and has helped me see the process in a new light that will help push me forward in my business venture. This isn’t a get rich quick scheme, it’s a system that needs to develop over time, so if you’re looking to make money quickly, you may want to look for a different book. If you want lasting results and business longevity, this is the book for you.

This book was received as an ARC from BenBella Books - Matt Holt through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and thoughts expressed in this review are completely my own.

You know the feeling of the ultimate Christmas gift, or an item on your wish list that you go and visit the store, looking out the window everyday wanting that item, and when you receive it you feel you've been given the whole world? That was the feeling I expressed while reading How to Get Paid for What You Know. Graham Cochrane is like my angel, and he handed me the opportunity of inspiration to start my own life-coaching business. Graham's approach is realistic, doable, and encouraging others to start their own business in what they are not only passionate about, but what they are knowledgeable about. The book is easy to follow with important steps highlighted in bold print, and at the end of each chapter, Graham challenges the reader with tasks to get them up and moving, pushing themselves to achieving success in a field they are passionate about. I immediately bought a copy and currently in the process of Getting Paid for What I Know.

A book that changes lives, changes attitudes, and encourages others worldwide. This book deserves 5 stars.

How to Get Paid for What You Know does what it says on the tin. It has useful information on how to monetise your specific skills.

It's a decent book, but for me, I found it quite simplistic, by which I mean there was very little that I hadn't already read elsewhere.

It's still a helpful tool for anyone who would like to earn some extra money!

Thanks to Graham Cochrane, NetGalley, and BenBella Books for this copy.

How to Get Paid for What You Know is easy but extensive book on how to start your own business based on what you know and what you are good at. The author uses his own story and experience to help guide you and there are a lot of references and useful resources. It is a good interesting read and will provide plenty of help for anyone considering taking this step.

Although I like the idea of getting paid for what I know, I am not a fan of scare tactics and bro marketing. Therefore, I didn't actually finish this book.

Easy and straightforward book on how to start your own side hustle. I like that there is a story behind, the book is based on author's experience rather than theory. You will find plenty of achievable useful resources. This book is a step by step guide on how to create a freelance business based on your knowledge and skills or simply something you like doing it good at.

Graham Cochrane, owner of two 7 figure online businesses, shares his 6 step process for developing an idea, creating content marketing around the idea in order to build an audience, growing an email list, creating and marketing a product to that email list, and then automating that process.

For those readers who have read a lot of content about growing audience through content marketing and know all about creating sales pages and online products, don't expect to find anything revolutionary here. In fact, about 90% of this book is similar to what I've read on other blogs or watched in other YouTube videos.

What I did appreciate, though, was how Cochrane brought all that info together in one book. It was a nice review of what I already know, and it even surprised me with a few tips I hadn't heard of before.

My favorite chapters were those on crafting your product and launching your offer. As I have said, I already knew most of this info, but I loved the step by step structure of the chapters and how Cochrane outlined in detail what you need to do. Those chapters were worth reading the entire book for me.

I'd recommend reading this book even if, like me, you have consumed quite a bit of content about creating an online business. It's a good resource to have as a checklist to see if you are taking all the necessary steps to grow your business and in creating the most successful online product and launch possible.

*Thank you to NetGalley and BenBella Books/Matt Holt for the digital review copy in exchange for an honest review.

I started this book with a genuinely opened mind. I did find myself feeling hyped at the beginning but truth be told this feeling stalled quite a great deal soon after that. There was a lot of information I could have googled once it became relevant to me. It is however always interesting to hear how someone else managed to make their way to the business they have to date.

This novel should be either in Universities recommended reading list or an alternative for going to University if you want to start your own business.
Instead of wasting years at university just research around if you already have an idea. University would’ve be pointless when authors like this explain what you need to do basically step by step giving you the knowledge you need to excel.
I enjoyed the range of topics and steps in this novel.

The author really writes in depth about the process of the online course and is successful and helping you understand what you should do to create yours. This is definitely helping me with this whole ordeal!

Learn the dynamics of the knowledge economy and monetize what you know. Create an automated income stream that requires no college degree, zero employees, and less than fifty dollars to get started and achieve steady and profitable knowledge-income stream.

These steps include: discovering our idea and ensuring it will be profitable; building an audience of loyal fans; packaging our knowledge into a highly desirable digital product; selling online in an authentic and ethical way; leveraging simple online tools to market our product; and automating the entire process so that income flows to us even when we’re not working. He also answer questions such as the following: Why would people pay for information when there is plenty of information out there for free? How do we convince people to pay me for our knowledge if we don’t feel like an expert and don’t have impressive credentials? How do we build an income stream if we are already busy with family, work, and life?

At the end of each chapter, author provides a simple exercise to help us process what we’ve read.

Graham Cochrane introduces value circle - business isn’t about taking, but rather about giving.

Even for skeptics, this is very useful book if you consider to try something new.
