Before I outline the powerful skills that will make rich, I want everyone to have a mindset of making money this year because it is vital and paramount. I love money talk and I want to believe everyone here is practicing in different professions, meaning a doctor’s skill is different from a consultant’s skill.

All of this skills and traits are incredibly transferable. So no matter what you do mastering or learning, these skills will not only boost your knowledge but will help to increase your income in the long term.

Here are skills that will that will help you make more money

As a writer, I can tell you first hand writing has helped me make more money. Forget working as tax consultant, this is one of my side hustle. Writing is a highly desired skills and writing is valuable for so many jobs aspects. Whether you need to write grants, create presentation, write press releases or create an executive summary, writing is an imperative skill to learn.

Social Media

Everyone has some idea of how social media works, but proving that you professionally active and followed on social media speaks wonder about you. Even if it’s just your personal account employers want to know you are professional. Clearly, you can have money (or a job) by having a professional media account. Having in depth knowledge about social media proves that you are technologically savvy and that you have excellent PR skills. If you work in any sort of marketing capacity, you need to prove that you are able to maneuver social media.

Public Speaking

For some public speaking comes naturally, while for others, it can be a different and even a terrifying skill to learn. While you may be able to avoid public speaking for a while, undoubtedly, there will arise a time in your career when you will be required to get a public announcement speech with or without notice. So conquer that fear now to prepare yourself.

Negotiations

We are all told that we should negotiate our starting salary, but there are so many other ways negotiation can help you make more money. Being able to simply negotiate in a job will yield you more cash. So many people are intimidated with negotiation, so those who can do it well are in high demand. Numerous jobs require negotiation with vendors, clients, or even other departments. Being able to advocate for the best outcome for your position is priceless.

Desire to learn

Complacency doesn’t get us anywhere, no matter what job we have. If we have no desire to learn more or no motivation to improve ourselves, we won’t take the initiative to improve our skills. Employers want employees to be motivated, excited, and encouraging. Whether you feel their support or not, it’s the truth. A motivated employee doesn’t only do more work, but they set the example for others to work just as hard.

Ability to sell

Sales are the foundation of all businesses, so having sales skill will always set you apart. No matter your role, you are always selling! More importantly than selling a product, you need to sell your ideas. A solid foundation in sales is hard to find, and can give you a big one-up in your job. Though sales might seem intimidating to learn, in reality, anyone can learn it. Sales are imperative to any side hustle success. Not only do you have to sell a product, but you have to close the sale by marketing yourself to a client. A derivative of this is “user acquisition” or “lead acquisition.” Online lead generation is now a big part of just about every business, and if you are able to help a company generate leads and/or sales, you are a valuable asset.
