How I made $50k Teaching what I Googled

It started with a question I was too embarrassed to ask out loud. So I typed it into a search bar instead. What came back wasn't just an answer—it was a doorway. I didn't have a degree in it. No credentials. No permission. Just a curiosity I couldn't shut off, and the nerve to keep clicking "next page" on Google until something clicked. That's all it took. One rabbit hole. One obsession. One quiet decision to build from there.
This book is not about faking expertise. It's about using your own curiosity as currency. It's about how I turned questions into income, insecurities into products, and screen time into a business that pays me $50K—consistently. I didn't reinvent anything. I reimagined how we define being "qualified." I made peace with the fact that most people aren't looking for a perfect teacher. They're looking for someone who gets it. Someone who's been there. Someone who says, "I didn't know either. But I learned. Let me show you."
Every chapter of this book peels back the layers of impostor syndrome and exposes the truth most people don't want to admit: the world doesn't reward the smartest—it rewards the clearest. The most honest. The most helpful. I didn't get paid because I had all the answers. I got paid because I broke things down the way I wish someone had for me.
This isn't a blueprint for selling fake expertise. It's a rebellion against waiting to be picked. It's a clear, strategic walk-through of how I chose a topic, learned just enough to teach someone one step behind me, and packaged that into something people actually wanted. No fluff. No magic. No luck. Just repeated effort, radical transparency, and a laptop.
Readers will learn how to shift their mindset from perfection to progression. They'll see how low the barrier to entry really is when you stop pretending and start helping. They'll get inside the framework I use to turn "I just figured this out" into "I can help you do this, too." I show exactly how I validate ideas, test offers, and design digital content that sells—not because it's viral, but because it solves something real.
I teach what I Google. That's the whole truth. And it's working.
You'll find out how to:
Identify topics that are profitable even when you're not an "expert" yet.
Build trust online without over-promising or over-performing.
Create simple digital products, workshops, or courses that people want to pay for.
Build a brand around your learning process instead of pretending you're at the finish line.
Market what you've built without becoming a parody of a personal brand.
You don't need to be famous. You don't need followers. You don't need a dramatic story. You need the guts to say, "Here's what I figured out. Maybe it can help you too." That's what I did, over and over, until the money came in. Not all at once. Not without hiccups. But enough to replace the side jobs. Enough to quit the part-time work. Enough to stop explaining myself at family gatherings.
This book isn't just the backstory—it's the receipts. I show you where I started, what I Googled, how I tracked what people were asking for, and the exact steps I used to make $50K teaching what I just learned. There's no guru voice here. I don't need to convince you I'm a genius. I'm not. I'm just proof that curiosity pays—if you're willing to put it into motion.
There's something wild and freeing about no longer chasing credentials. About realizing your next stream of income could come from a question you haven't even Googled yet. The distance between not knowing and earning is shorter than most people admit. This book shows you how I walked it.
