You enjoy listening, asking questions, writing, or finding the story inside a conversation.
One focused interview-based article with an agreed length, accurately checked quotes, clear structure and the specified editorial review.
Pacing
Follow the seven-day starter journey. The faster First Money Move is optional; keep its goal without rushing permissions or safety.
A finished sample, a clear proposal and honest feedback are progress. A sale, platform acceptance or earnings are never guaranteed.
1. What am I selling?
One focused interview-based article with an agreed length, accurately checked quotes, clear structure and the specified editorial review.
2. Who will buy it?
Business owners, consultants, creators, community organizations, and publications. Start with the specific customer and deliverable below rather than offering every possible service.
3. Where do I find those buyers?
Approach an organization with a genuine person or project to feature. Ask about the audience and interview permissions before offering a defined article rather than an entire biography.
4. Which software and tools do I use?
Prepare five to seven questions in Google Docs, obtain recording consent, create an authorized transcript and check all quotations against the recording before drafting.
5. How do I create my first product or service?
Create a transcript. Check names, details, and potential quotes against the recording. Pick a clear article angle. Verify names, dates, numbers and direct quotes against primary material.
6. Where do I publish, list, or promote it?
Deliver the approved files privately through a named-recipient Google Drive folder or the agreed marketplace order. Promote only samples you have permission to share.
7. How do I get paid?
Charge per article or recurring package. Agree on interview length, article length, revisions, and who conducts the interview. Set the fee and payment stages in writing; verify actual funds in your own eligible business account.
8. What should I accomplish in my first seven days?
Finish one manageable interview-to-article writing sample or authorized task, check its quality, approach a relevant customer and record the result without assuming a sale.

2. Where to Find Customers and How the Transaction Works
Start with one audience and a small, clearly defined offer. Use an official contact route; do not harvest or buy contact lists.
Agree audience, length, interview time, recording/transcription permission, quote-check process, revision limits, rights and fee before interviewing.
A focused first customer
Approach an organization with a genuine person or project to feature. Ask about the audience and interview permissions before offering a defined article rather than an entire biography.
Prepare five to seven questions in Google Docs, obtain recording consent, create an authorized transcript and check all quotations against the recording before drafting.
Verify names, dates, numbers and direct quotes against primary material.
Preserve qualifications and meaning when shortening quotations.
Getting paid: Charge per article or recurring package. Agree on interview length, article length, revisions, and who conducts the interview. Agree price, included work, due dates and any expenses before proceeding; a sample or inquiry is not a paid order.
Safety: Follow applicable recording-consent law. Protect sensitive disclosures, avoid defamation, and do not invent quotes or imply that interview consent permits every future use.
A clear transaction and handover
Once there is interest, write down exactly what is included: One focused interview-based article with an agreed length, accurately checked quotes, clear structure and the specified editorial review.
Agree audience, length, interview time, recording/transcription permission, quote-check process, revision limits, rights and fee before interviewing.
For a direct service, use an eligible business invoicing method such as PayPal: create an invoice, identify the customer and deliverables, review charges and terms, then send. Follow marketplace payment rules for marketplace sales.
Resolve factual gaps with the interviewee and record the agreed approval.
Getting paid: Check fees, availability, tax and refund obligations for your location and channel. Track received payments separately from quotes; never rely on a payment screenshot or pay to unlock a customer payment.
Safety: Check activity-specific licenses, insurance and local requirements with the relevant authority before accepting work. No platform listing, tool account or sample removes those obligations.

Agree audience, length, interview time, recording/transcription permission, quote-check process, revision limits, rights and fee before interviewing.
