Knowledge Commerce is a booming new line of ecommerce. You first discover, and then “productize” your own unique knowledge, talent, skills or passions – into ebooks, courses, memberships, webinars, virtual summits, consulting packages, and a host of other formats.
It’s an ideal business for solopreneurs. If you want to grow yourself into an exclusive and premium brand, and command market-dominating prices, this is your perfect opportunity. So get in early.
I’m Shobha Ponnappa, the Founder & CEO of this site, Solohacks Academy. Through this site, I evangelize Knowledge Commerce for solopreneurs.
I am a solopreneur these days, and I sell my knowledge. I know what it takes to succeed, first-hand. If I can shorten your journey by giving you my experience to leap off from, nothing could be more satisfying. More power to our tribe!
Two other things make me excited and deeply passionate about Knowledge Commerce:
The fastest way to great wealth is to offer the knowledge you have to the world. It may be innate knowledge or acquired. Often, you may not even know you are a walking goldmine of knowledge that someone wants to buy.
Your knowledge is always unique to you, so you don’t have to try to be “different” to sell what you know. You only have to market your “best self”. Your quirks needn’t be straightened. They are what distinguishes your brand.
Where have I been before?
I have been in digital marketing for over 40+ years. I have worked with over 125 client brands on the extreme cutting-edge of digital technology.
In the first 17 years of my career, I held positions with three multinational advertising agencies where I worked on large global clients. I rose in the advertising industry to handle high positions in both Creative and Account Planning and happily won numerous national advertising awards.
In the next 6 years, I achieved success and international acclaim as an entrepreneur. I became the Founder and CEO of my own avant-garde digital content and brand experience innovations company. Globally famous industry giants and financial entities invested in us. In this company, I steered the creation of international web innovation projects for worldwide clients. Almost every project was built to our mission to produce an idea that was the first of its kind in the world. I had nearly 150 employees of high caliber.
In the last decade or so, I have been an independent solopreneur – a digital marketing specialist/consultant for mid-to-large sized corporates and disruptive entrepreneurial clients in the US, UK, and India.
