There’s a lie that’s been floating around the internet for years.

You’ve probably heard it.
Maybe even believed it.
👉 “You can’t charge for anything unless you’re an expert.”

And while it sounds like good advice… it’s actually holding a lot of good people back.

Because what even is an expert?

Someone with a degree?
A certification?
Someone with 10,000 hours logged?
Or just someone who’s a few steps ahead?

Let’s get something straight:

If you wait until the world deems you an “expert,”
you’ll miss the opportunity that’s already in front of you:

💡 Helping people with what you do know.

And yes — getting paid for it.

Back when I first started online, I didn’t have a huge audience.
No million-dollar case studies.
No fancy title.
But I still made money.

And I did it using three simple frameworks that anyone can apply — without ever claiming to be a guru.

💰 Option 1: Become a Curator

You don’t have to reinvent the wheel to get paid.

You can get paid to organize information that already exists.

I had a friend who wanted to do sales coaching — but all of his knowledge came from Jeremy Miner and Sandler.
He felt like he couldn’t charge for it.

So I told him: Become the curator.

• Collect the best material

• Help people apply it

• Charge for how to use it, not what it is

You’re not stealing. You’re streamlining.

🔗 Option 2: Be the Connector

My first paid community? I didn’t have all the answers.
But I knew people who did.

I brought them together in one room.
And I charged for the connection.

Because being the person who knows a guy is way more valuable than being the guy.

Whether it's a paid mastermind or a 1:1 intro that solves a problem — people will pay to skip the line and meet the right person.

🧰 Option 3: Sell Tools, Not Advice

Not everyone wants coaching.

Sometimes they just want:

• The checklist

• The call guide

• The script

• The system

That’s what I did with my [6-Figure Call Guide] and [Digital Entrepreneur Toolbox].
People don’t care that I didn’t invent sales.
They just care that I made it easier to implement.

That’s what they’re paying for: simplicity.

So no, you don’t need to be an “expert.”

You just need to be helpful.

• Curate the gold.

• Connect the right people.

• Package tools that solve real problems.

And always — give credit where credit’s due.

Because this game?
It’s not about credentials.
It’s about contribution.
