Hey Jow Forums
I'm a food scientist and have a deep interest in home brewing.
I have a lot of knowledge on the subject and want to create a website dedicated to brewing; the science behind it, formulations, etc.
I also want to make money from this venture, but I am not keen on using traditional means such as google's ads. What are my options?
How do you monetize your knowledge?

Unironically see how others do it and improve on it. There are so many niche and creative ways to make money. For example, who was the first to discover mukbangs? And then pair it with ASMR? Why do people pay $10k a month to hear a roastie screech about “the red pill”? In fact, you can do one better, and be the industry standard, the example of “damn that guy makes an unbelievable amount of money just on what he knows about microbrewing! I want to get in on that!” Find unconventional ways to use your knowledge. For example, what about teaching classes? Making videos? Host tourist tasting for the very wealthy? I don’t jnow much about this subject but the important thing is to be creative and even steal ideas from other fields.

Is that beer any good?
write a book. you'd think books were dying but boomers like to buy them as presents
Thanks for the reply, user. I've been looking into what other brewing sites are doing in terms of monetization, I know that I could for sure take some of their ideas and improve on them, I just have my doubts about people actually using or paying for my content when there are a plethora of alternatives.
My current plans are to get my site up and running and just fill it with really solid content, hoping to get some sort of user base, perhaps do some affiliate sales and eventually teach classes or sell my own products.
no, and that's the point
I've been seriously considering this but have absolutely 0 knowledge of book sales. Is there actual, attainable money to be made with them?
self-publishing on amazon is pretty huge. You can make ebook for zero costs
Have you, or someone you know, done it that way? What are the sort of returns someone can make that way?
Is it worth it to eventually publish a physical book if sales/interest are high enough?
Give me someway to contact you if you want some help.
its a winner takes it all market, i.e. either you make it big or small but there's not really medium. there was an article with actual numbers posted a few months ago. I post it as soon as I find it
yeah I know some people and I actually make my own book.
Its pretty big cause you basically have no entry costs and when you scale it you can make good money for days. If you put a book for like $5 and sell 1000 of them you're good. People make in such way hundreds dollars daily. Just focuse on some good content, pay someone to make you catchy cover (or make it by yourself) then promote it on some forums, reddit or even targeted facebook ads and let it roll. Its not easy way do make you rich but its one of them. Also when you once publish it it will stay there and orders will be more and more. For printed book is much harder cause you have to have money to print it, distribute them, struggling with delivery and stuff. IMO best way for first book is ebook and if it will be nice then offer printed version. Google self-publishing
Reading is actually going up again.

dude
Interesting, that's what I was worried about. I'd hate to put a shitload of time into writing a book only to have it fail because some other book catches on while mine doesn't.
Thanks for the info user.
"“Making money” here means selling more than one million e-book copies in the last five years."
I think this is an odd definition of success, if I were able to cover even part of my expenses with ebook sales I would consider it a success,
sounds good. it's important to know what you expect
ye, just want to make something that can aid in a decent living
Google "Authority Site" for more detail, but basically set up a good site with good articles, automated social media releases for people to follow, and build up a whole cult of hipster "craft brewery enthusiasts" around yourself. Sell them the stuff they need, sell ad space to related industries, have monetised YouTube vids on how do do stuff. Maybe a pro tier subscription option if you can justify it.
Have you ever wrote a book, fren?
It's one of the worst wagecuckeries imagineable.
If it's a side hustle and you still have your main gig going on, get ready for no-life mode.
depends man. Writing could be pleasure and its not hard to make like 3k words daily
>Authority Site
I didn't know this term existed, I think this is what I needed. Thx user.
Yeah, sex can be a pleasure too, then imagine fucking 10hrs a day every day whole year...
I was pulling about 8hrs daily + 8hrs of wagekekin. Pleasure of writing evaporates quickly
like every creative thing
