A consultant is someone expert in a field who, for a fee,

Many times we tend to feel that our knowledge, skills or
abilities are nothing unique. However, many lack those same
assets and would gladly pay us for our knowledge and services.
Although it is possible to make a living from consulting with
individuals, the big money is in performing services for
businesses.
Do you have knowledge of bookkeeping, accounting, tax or similar
business matters? Some have made excellent money specializing in
small business consulting.
Are you a computer hobbyist with business or internet
experience? You could make money in web design, internet
marketing, search engine optimization, or some other specialty.
Some lawyers have combined their legal experience with their
love of the Internet and specialized in intellectual property
and computer law.
2. Finding
A finder is someone who, for a fee, finds something needed by a
business or individual. A finder`s fee is the amount paid to the
finder for locating what was required.
Finder`s fees are paid for finding money (loans, equipment
leasing, et cetera), equipment (mining, construction, et
cetera), personnel, companies for sale, locations (fast food
franchises, vending machines, et cetera) and just about anything
else that people are willing to pay for.
Simply match sellers with buyers and you can earn finder`s fees.
