How I Made My First $10 by Sharing Something I Thought Was Useless

It all started with a weird question I got on Reddit...

A random user DM’d me after reading one of my comments in a niche tech thread:

"Hey, how did you bypass the regional pricing on that SaaS tool? Could you teach me?"

At first, I laughed. I thought it wasn’t a big deal. But then I realized...

That one trick I used — a combination of VPN settings, local currency awareness, and a specific browser plugin — saved me over $100/year.

That’s when it hit me:

Maybe what I know is more valuable than I thought.

🎙️ The Rise of Tiny Knowledge as Currency

We live in the creator economy. But not all of us want to be influencers.

Some of us are just regular people with:

One brilliant workaround

One story of trial and error

One niche tip that saved us time or money

Imagine if there were a way to share that one insight, get rewarded fairly, and never have to build a YouTube channel or a course.

Turns out — there is.

🧠 I Tried EZP.com — and Here’s What Happened

EZP.com is a platform I found through a low-key blog post. It’s built for people who want to say:

“I know a thing. Pay me to tell you.”

No branding, no profile pic, no hustle. Just simple information trading.

I wrote a short guide:

“How I negotiated my remote job salary up 35% (without threatening to quit)”

I priced it at $5. Within a few days, someone unlocked it.

Then someone else did.

Suddenly, a tip I thought was “nothing special” became a little passive income stream.

💬 You Can Also Ask for Knowledge

Not just selling — you can also post a question and set a bounty.

I saw people ask:

“How to open a US bank account as a freelancer from Argentina?”

“Best way to get clients on Fiverr without paying for ads?”

“Script to extract emails from LinkedIn search results”

These aren’t Googleable. These are experienced-based answers. That’s why they’re valuable.

💡 Why I’m Hooked

This is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

But if you’ve solved even one problem in your life — digital or real-world — chances are, someone else is stuck on it right now.

What you consider “obvious” might be gold for someone else.

And nw, there's finally a quiet, respectful, anonymous way to share it.

Final Thoughts

If you’ve ever helped a friend figure something out, you already have what it takes to make money from knowledge.

You don’t need followers.

You don’t need to “go viral.”

You just need to share something real.

I made $10 this month from something I nearly forgot I knew.

What do you know that could be worth something?
