Remember the line from "The Dark Knight": "If you're good at anything, never do it for free." That's true, there are no free lunches, nor should there be. You have earned the right to share your expertise and generate money if you are a champion in your area.
Fortunately, the internet is a means through which purchasing and selling has become simpler and less complicated.
Selling digital items is one method to make money. An eBook is one of the greatest digital goods that you can write and sell on many websites.
