$15-20k/month teaching people how to use software

Paul Minors
  • Paul Minors

  • Virtual Consultant
  • ~$20,000 monthly revenue

Here’s an interview with a chap named Paul Minors who apparently earns up to $20,000 a month as a “virtual consultant.”

He basically helps businesses and individuals get to grips with software like:

  • Asana
  • Pipedrive
  • MailChimp
  • Zapier

As per Paul’s website, he earned more than $1,400 in his first month doing this kind of work.

Are you an expert user of any software yourself?

If so, there may be people out there who will pay you to help them use it more effectively.

The notes from the interview linked above explain how Paul found his first clients:

He started off by making a profile on Clarity.fm in early 2016. Clarity is a site that connects experts with people seeking help/answers for a $ amount per minute. Paul listed Asana as one of his skills, and he started getting calls from people in need of help. Paul also did a few calls for free to help build some traction on the platform and get some reviews.

He said the platform was a great way to validate his consulting business and prove there was demand for Asana consulting. Some of the callers became clients off the platform too.
