Welcome Donat Plenter here welcome to Homazooma. On this segment we will be talking about SkillShare
a feature that we've built just for you to help you build wealth around your house. What
SkillShare does is it addresses some of the deficiencies and elements that we felt were
missing in what is available out there for people specifically running small businesses
and crafts and hobbies and putting their homes to work for them. There are a number of services
out there online and otherwise that allow you to do one thing and one element of that.
We brought it all together for you, so let me explain what the features are. The primary
purpose of SkillShare is for you to be able to show the world your stuff. what you can
do, what you're good at and everybody is good at something. All kinds of stuff that you're
constantly thinking about and constantly talking about, whether it's you know you're a sports
buff and you're a sports expert or you're a hobbyist with model trains or a woodworker
or a actually running a small business out of your home or are a great baker you teach
music lessons you a gardener, all kinds of stuff. You're really good at something. Your
friends know this you're family knows this, but you need to be able to show the world
that you're really good at this stuff. And the moment you show the world that you're
good at it, you become the expert. Which then helps you're business and help turn that into
income. Because of course they get to see how you do it and explain it which means you
know what you're doing you know what you're talking about and yup we can trust this person
because they are really really good at it. So with SkillShare what you can do is show
what you know. That's the key thing, now just putting up videos on website alone or having
a blog as an example or having a website with tons of information and photographs means
that you're potential customers and potential viewers are... Have to go to all these different
places and get all kinds of information from bits and pieces. So you are never able to
project a complete message. So we put all that together for you.
So whether you have um Hobbies or interests or talents or just a pass time as an example.
Maybe you're the best dog trainer on the street or you make the coolest and the best sandwiches
on the street, you might turn into the local sandwich maker for everyone picking up their
sandwiches on their way during the commute. Everybody has something. So how do you tell
the world that you're really good at something that you want to be able to turn into some
kind of an income. Well typically what you need is video's. I mean you don't need anything
fancy you could use your phone, or a tablet, gadget on your computer or fairly inexpensive
little camera, You can film what you're actually doing. Film yourself baking cookies, how you,
explain how you mix the doe. What you have to be careful with the temperature you know
the oven make sure the oven temperature is exactly right and where you place it on the
rack etc. All these things you take for granted when you're baking cookies is expert knowledge
that you have. So you can also take pictures. Pictures of critical stages pictures of cookies
that did not turn out well, because they got burnt or they are under cooked. So you can
take photographs of what to do and also what not to do. That's the kind of stuff that makes
you an expert. Because you know what's right and you know what's wrong. You also want to
be able to provide step by step instructions. So if somebody says, You know I would love
to make your cookies but just don't know how to do them. You can actually write down those
instructions step by step. So now if they say well I saw your video I saw the pictures
I got your step by step but I'd like the recipe So then you need to be able to give those
people a file which in this case would be your recipe. I'm using cookies as an example
in these series of video's but it's the same thing applies whether you are a woodworker
or a knife Smith or a Auto mechanic or anything. It's all about showing the world that you
know your stuff and giving the DIY the do it yourselfer the opportunity to create what
you're doing themselves at home. So let say you want to do 2 or 3 or 5, well you can do
a series incorporating each one of these elements. Now when you want to sell your cookies people
watch your series and some people yes of course will make the cookies and you want that but
then they'll discover that you have a series on 5 cookies but you actually have ten. Odds
are they will want to buy your cookies because they know you know what you're talking about.
When you show the world your stuff
you become the expert. And that's what SkillShare is all about. Allowing you to share Skill
with the rest of the world and the rest of the world will see that you are really really
good. Now How does the viewer perceive this? When you're watching a video online you get,
especially if it's well done, and you get a sense that they know what they are doing,
You get a sense of trust and confidence. Because you get a feeling that this person really
knows what they are doing in video they way that their explaining it. They simply know
it. SkillShare then Automatically becomes a method of advertising for you. It's like
all the testimonials, people struggle in trying to show the world my product is the best I
make the best cookies so I this all that and they advertise Best chocolate chip cookies
award winning and they use fancy words like that. You don't need any of that. Just simple
show them how to do it automatically get the credit for making the best chocolate chip
cookies in the world. Or in your neighborhood or in your niche market. So they will also
see that you're proud of what you're doing. So all of these things come back to providing
something product or service makes a meaningful difference in people's lives. They will see
how you do it, they will trust you, they see that you are not only good but passionate
about what you're doing. Therefore you're also helping others. This is a chance for
you to help other people, better their lives, as well not just by baking cookies but by
showing them that they have value, enormous amount of value in what's' in their heads
and in their ideas and in their passions. So the bottom line is that sharing is powerful.
When you share your knowledge you not only feel good but it leads to a very very successful
business. That's what SkillShare is about. Get out there record your hobby record what
you do and there is your marketing and advertising ready for ya.
