Make money while you sleep with passive income!

A man named Pat Flynn once taught the business internet how to make money while you sleep, with a concept called 'passive income'.

Nowadays, one of the top search terms on Google is "best online courses websites" as people around the world attempt to get a leg up in this space, and monetise their acquired knowledge.

But online courses are not the only way to monetise your knowledge, as online course marketing expert Tom Libelt explains in this episode of "Making Conversations Count."

"Field of Dreams" told us that if we build it, they will come. But they probably won't actually...

During this episode, Tom lifts the curtain on how most speakers get their apparent success at large speaking events.

Hint: that speaker's popularity might not be entirely authentic.

Tom believes that if you truly want to make money from online courses, you've got to think it through a bit more, and really do your market research.

Be proactive in understanding who you can help, and work with them to steer you to your winning product.
