I know a lot of small business owners and entrepreneurs who do IT for their own companies. And one thing I've noticed is that they all make really good money with it! 

In this video, I will share some insights into five ways that you can use your IT skills to start making more money in your company.

If you prefer video, here is the youtube version.

Make Money with IT

1. Utilize IT to save money 

One of the things I love to do is automate tasks in my company. If I can automate something with a few lines of code, that saves me time and effort that I can spend on other things. It also saves money because I don't have to pay for someone else to do it. That means when the business needs more money later, we still have more than enough leftover from what we saved.

Next time you find yourself doing something really repetitive or boring, how about thinking about how you might be able to save money with IT? You just might be surprised how much you can save in the long run!

2. Invest in the latest technology 

One of the best decisions small business owners can make is to invest in the latest technology. With each new generation of technology, new opportunities arise for making money.

For example, when the iPhone first came out, all sorts of new apps and businesses could only exist because of that platform. So investing in MacOS hardware was an opportunity-maker because you could start creating iPhone apps.

The same is true with newer generations of laptops, desktops, and software. As each new platform comes out, entrepreneurs and small business owners have a chance to get in on the ground floor and make a lot of money. So if you're looking for a way to make more money with IT, investing in the latest technology is definitely an excellent place to start!

3. Outsource IT work to a company that specializes in it 

There are many reasons why outsourcing IT work to a company that specializes in it can save you a lot of money. For one, they will have more experience and knowledge than you do when dealing with IT issues. They will also have access to better tools and resources, which means they can solve problems faster and more effectively.

Another big reason to outsource IT work is that it can save you a lot of time and effort. Dealing with IT issues can be extremely frustrating and time-consuming, so it's often much better to simply hand the job over to someone experienced in dealing with them. This way, you can focus on what you're good at and leave the tedious tasks to someone else.

4. Offer IT solutions for other small businesses 

There are many reasons why selling your IT solutions to smaller companies can make you money. For one, small businesses are always looking for ways to save money and improve efficiency. And as an IT professional, you have a unique set of skills that can help them do just that.

Second, small businesses are often short on staff and resources, so they're more likely to be willing to pay for your services. They also tend to be more flexible with their budgets, which means you can negotiate a better price for your services.

Finally, small businesses are always looking for new ways to grow and expand their businesses. And as an IT professional, you can help them do just that. So if you're looking for a way to make money with IT, then offering your services to smaller businesses might be the perfect fit for you!

5. Become an expert on one niche topic and teach others about it

One of the best ways to make money with IT is to become an expert on a niche topic and teach others about it. When you become an expert in a niche topic, you have a lot of knowledge and experience that other people don't. And when you share that knowledge with others, they are often willing to pay for your services.

Another reason why teaching others about your niche topic can be a great way to make money is because there is a lot of demand for it. 

So if you're looking for a way to make it with IT, becoming an expert in a niche topic and sharing your knowledge with others is definitely one of the best options out there.
