Today I'm exploring how you can make money with Excel skills, even if
it's basic Excel skills. As a matter of fact, you don't even need to have
any Excel skills to start with.
Well, let me explain. I did some research. And there are some people
that are doing some very basic things in Microsoft Excel, building
an audience quickly, and then be able to monetize it in one way,
really. But right before I show you an example of this, what I'll be
looking at in particular, is a method in how you can replicate this
on YouTube in a way that's more sustainable as somebody who has been
doing an excellent job or this is somebody named Kat Naughton, and the
platform that she uses to do this is actually tick tock and in case
you're thinking that tick tock is really just for teenagers doing the
front dances and comedy stuff, then you're probably right. But what she
uses it for is teaching Excel tutorials, but doing it in an
engaging different way, incorporating her personality and
the style of tick tock, as you can see right here. And according to
entrepreneur Netcom cat Norton, who's also known as Miss
accelerating on tick tock, knowing that some people who struggle with
some basic things in Excel who need to do this at home, she has some
simple videos here, teaching could do some basic stuff like fill
entirely based on criteria, and it has step by step and how to get that
done. And there is this one here where she simulates a work
environment remotely, where the boss asked the employee to get all of
this data cleaned. And obviously it's a little bit difficult to do so
she shows you how you can easily do that step by step performing an
answer in the background. I mean, it's tick tock know, a lot of her
videos here went viral, so her audience is growing, and it's an
audience or round XL. And while a lot of people might not come on Tik
Tok to search for XL tutorials, she is building a loyal fan base or
wrong that a lot of people who look at these videos would look at her
profile. And when they come up to her profile, there is a link here.
When you click it, it takes you to this page, MS Excel where you can
register for a free Excel class and click all courses as well. It then
takes you to her website where somebody who got value and is
interested in learning more from her could then buy one of her courses,
it's not like it's just for a hobby, they will be paying for something
that can help them with their job that's already paying them. So by
advertising these courses and homebuyer that is how she could be
possibly making over $80,000 according to Business Insider. So
here's the thing. If you're already on Tik Tok, and you're into that
type of content, then you can feel free to start making stuff like
this. What if you're anything like me, and you're not really into
dancing, and but you're more interested in YouTube as well, then
try this instead, head over to YouTube and search for Excel
tutorials for beginners. And you'll notice here there's some channels
here, like this one, the beginner's guide to Excel Basics tutorials. And
this video, I guess what it covers is all of the basics in Excel. But
if you notice, you're not seeing anybody, there is no fees, there is
nobody dancing here. But yet this video has almost 14 million views.
And there's also a link in the description here, where you can
support this channel on Patreon, where I'm guessing that you can pay
a monthly fee, maybe a small amount and get exclusive access to some
tutorials or some things like that. Just imagine if a very small
percentage of 15 million even if it's point zero 1% That still is a
lot of money that they will be making for the month. There's also a
really good example here from this lady here, Excel tutorial for
beginners excel Made Easy 444,000 views. This video takes a little bit
of a different format, where she introduces the video input. And then
she goes straight into screen recording. And from what I've seen,
all of the videos are like that, or is particularly interesting to me is
that according to Social Blade, this channel estimates 1.4 1000 to
$22,000 in AdSense for the month. That's all from making basic Excel
tutorials. What if you don't know how to do basic stuff in Excel, I'm
not sure what videos that you can make, then I'm going to show you
that in a minute. But separate to that large potential adsense
earnings. What you can do is check out here in her description. What
you can find here is my online Excel courses. When you click that link,
it takes you to this page, which has all of her courses like this one
where you can enroll for just $89. But what if you're interested in
this but you don't have the basic Excel skills as yet? Well, I'm going
to show you how you can learn those basic Excel skills as well as make
money from an Excel course without even creating one. Check this out.
So you want to make videos about Excel Basics. You simply just look
at some of these Excel tutorials for beginners. That literally covers the
basics like going through rows, columns, cells, inputting data,
formatting data, insert rows, and these tutorials are step by step.
It's free. It's on YouTube. There's a section here on basic formulas in
Microsoft Excel. You can look at this video right here at the few
basic formulas that he covers, and then make a video about the basic
formulas in Microsoft Excel.
I'm sure this is something that people search for. So if I come here
and look for basic formulas in Excel, you can see this is what
people are actually searching for basic formulas in Excel for
beginners. And these things get a lot of views two point 6,000,001
point 3,530,000. These videos are less than 10 minutes long. And you
can just simply do a screen recording of it. Like what I'm
using, not right now to do this screen recording is OBS Studio, you
can just search for OBS Studio and Google, you can download it for free
right here. It's really simple to setup. But if you need help, there's
a blog Help Forum, as well. There's a lot of videos on YouTube about
that, open up Microsoft Excel on your computer and start recording.
It's as simple as that, and separate the YouTube potential adsense
earnings, the people that we just looked at on YouTube, as well as on
tick tock, they are making the majority of their earnings from
selling courses, but those courses they actually created themselves.
