I get at least 2-3 emails each day from investors asking me to create a financial plan for them. They have no idea whether I offer such a service or not (I do not); they do not know the fees associated with it but are ready to pay. I laugh when I hear people say, “In India, people are not willing to pay fees for financial advise”. This is wrong! They are many successful financial advisors in India. If you think you have the talent and expertise to guide people with their money management but are worried about getting steady clients, I have a solution for you.
Why do I get those emails asking about my fees or services even though I have nowhere mentioned it (because I do not offer any investment advice free/paid)? The answer: Regular useful visibility to new readers
I write/publish content every day; this content is visible in different mediums and constantly attracts new readers. When they come here, they explore the content created, the tools available; they sign for email updates; they see articles delivered in future emails…
It is not just visibility; This many advisors do. Each day they post the importance of financial planning or asset allocation, or equity investing on social media. They take canned banners from AMCs, add their name to it and post it as Facebook stories. If these “tactics” attracted anyone, it would attract the wrong kind of clients who have no idea what investment advice and financial planning is all about.

I am talking about useful visibility: useful for the reader, that is. Free content that will solve their doubts.
What content should I write about? How to get article ideas? How can I use this content to build trust? How do I set up a website and social media profiles for maximum visibility? How can I reach the articles feeds of new readers? How do I project my expertise on social media and to Google? How do I make Google show my business first when clients want to know more about me? How to get my articles on the first page of Google? How can I build a community that will trust me? Pay me?
Presenting our new course that will help you unlock the secrets of successful financial advisors and entrepreneurs: Earn from Skills, aka “How to get people to pay for your skills”. Launched in Sep 2020, we have more than 550 members in an exclusive Facebook group consuming more than 12 hours of video content (details below).
The course is not just for financial advisors. It is for anyone looking to earn extra income (aka side hustle) or passive income; anyone who wants to start a blog or YouTube channel or build a social media following; for entrepreneurs; small business owners; anyone who would like to build a business by showcasing their expertise, for example, financial advisors, insurance advisors, software consultants, writers, just about any service that requires an online presence.
Course Objective: A complete framework to build online visibility with your skills; Create a community of readers and viewers based on expertise and trust and generate an income that will gradually grow to become significant. Watch the first video for free below.
Course Format: Videos (20-30 min duration) in a Facebook Group.
Course Fee: Rs. 5000 only (one-time), although the value you get would be more than Rs. 25K. Just the list of expensive products you should avoid will be ten times the price you pay!
The fee is deliberately kept low to enable young earners and college students to participate. Enter the course via this link: How to Get People to Pay for Your Skills: A Guide to win trust and Build Income.
Course FAQ
- Is the fee one-time or recurring? It is one-time.
- Can I watch the videos any time I want? Yes. Access is forever. You will need a Facebook Account to access the course (the email used for Facebook and the email used to buy the course can be different)
- I want to resell the course. Is this possible? Yes, it is.
- I am a professional, entrepreneur or small business owner. Will this course help? Yes! It will help you quickly set up your website and online profiles right and show you how you can leverage them for building a brand, a community that trusts you and would buy from you or hire you.
- I am salaried with some interests I want to develop. Will this course help? Yes! The course discusses how you can use online communities to understand problems and issues you can address to increase visibility.
- I want to earn some extra income, but I am not sure about the area. Will this course help? The core idea of online money making is to help others without expectations, and the money will come. Tom Cruise said, “everyone has a story. Similarly “,, everyone has something to offer”. Some way in which they can help others. It should not take long for you to list that. Even if you are not an expert in that area, you can learn while you create content. This is what I did and am doing with freefincal. Once you think of at least one way to help someone else, the course will help you get ideas and create content around that.
- Will this help me set up a website? Yes. A start to finish guide is included along with “how to write SEO optimised content.”
- When can I start seeing results? This is not a get rich quick scheme. Results will depend on your circumstances and the topic. For example, a financial advisor may see faster results than a salaried person working on this as a side project. Simply because for the financial advisor, online visibility is bread and butter. Similarly, a person writing about politics may get more revenue than a person writing poems because of the community size interested in each are. Increasing visibility in the area we are good at is more productive than chasing after a “hot topic” we know nothing about.
