How do you make extra money when on the road?

Is there any market out there for aircraft appraisers? I feel like I have a pretty extensive knowledge of the GA market and aircraft/equipment options, etc. I've been involved in buying/selling several aircraft as well. Just a thought but how would one go about this? I looked up the National Aircraft Appraisers Association. Looks like for a fee and a short course you can do the job. Has anyone done this and can you make enough from the initial fee investment for it to be worth it?
OK. If you are serious about the biz you can make some coin. Like good money, more than regional F/Os make in a year kinda coin. It's being a broker. Basically, you have a client, who wants to buy an airplane, say a turbine cabin class twin. You work for the client and find him the perfect airplane for their mission, and get a commission. The trick is finding the clients. I'm not sure about the appraiser part of it, but if you do decent business it would be a way to jump start the getting clients thing. But long term being a broker is where it's at, perfect job for those with lots of time on the road.
