If you have a skill or an ability that others want to learn, it's likely there are groups of people searching for an online course on that topic. Not only that, but they'll also happily PAY YOU for sharing your knowledge.
One of the skills I learned early in my life was speaking fluent Spanish. There are literally thousands of expats living in Mexico and South America that are paying me to teach them via Skype and Zoom to speak Spanish.
Another skill I learned about 30 years ago was teaching English as a Second Language, also known as ESL.
And I do both ONLINE!
Listen to me for just a minute... if you don't listen to anything else I say...
The E-Learning Market Is HUGE!
Forbes Magazine reported that e-learning will be a $325 Billion dollar industry by 2025. The market as it stands right now, in 2019, is already a 35 billion dollar industry. So, in another 5 or 6 years, Forbes is predicting that the industry will be ALMOST TEN TIMES BIGGER THAN IT IS NOW!
That, my friend, is a sizable market, which means even if you take a little bite out of that pie, you can STILL MAKE a significant amount of money.
Now, the best part of this is, you don't need to stand in front of a classroom or host video classes with anyone. You just need to create course material that you can package together and sell repeatedly.
Creating course material isn't as hard as it sounds. You can do it using some basic skills that you already know and have. Once you know what you want your course to be about, the rest of it is easy.
Can you take pictures with your phone?
If you've taken any pictures with your phone, and posted them on social media, then you already possess one of the key skills to making an online course.Pictures are useful to instructional guides. With just a phone, you can simply take a picture and put it into a guide you created with Microsoft Word or Google Docs (more on that below).
Having nice pictures to accompany your guides help make it easier for you to explain to your students what they need to know.
Can you make videos?
Now that technology has made it so easy that we can easily shoot videos with our phones, you can create educational material. If you know how to use the camera app on your smartphone, you have one of the core skills needed to make an online course!If you're "camera shy" and you don't want to be on camera, there are other options for making your videos. One option is that you film someone else doing the task, or you just film your hands performing the task instead — if you're teaching art for instance. Either of these options is perfectly fine because people aren't taking the course to see you, they're doing it to learn and accomplish something. When I watched an online course on baking French pastries, I only saw the teacher's hands and the kitchen utensils and baking ingredients she was using.
Another simple way to avoid being on camera and still deliver videos is by recording the screen of your laptop or desktop. This is a great tool if your course is about software like Photoshop or AutoCAD, Power Lead System, or an affiliate program that you're promoting, or an online software system that you use.
With a simple and free application, like ScreenCast-O-Matic, it's a cinch to record a screen-share video from your computer then upload it to YouTube or Vimeo to share with your clients. ScreenCast-O-Matic is free to use online, so you don't really need to download anything, although they do have a downloadable plugin you can use. They also offer a couple of premium packages for a small pittance.
Can you use Microsoft Word or Google Docs?
Of course, if your program is best delivered without videos or you prefer to avoid recording any content, you can just create a course that is all written content using Microsoft Word or Google Docs. You can also use Open Office to create documents compatible with Microsoft Office products, but Open Office is FREE to download and install. It's a free GNU open source software package.After you create your document, whether it's a spreadsheet, document, or a presentation, you can export it to PDF format. You can even include clickable (embedded) links into your text and pictures.
Don't worry about the technical "learning curve", because I teach this, too, in my private group on Facebook.
Online course creators sell guides from $9.97 to upwards of $50,000. The price tag is really dependent on how much you feel the information you have to share is worth and how much people are willing to pay for it.
Creating an online course isn't rocket science, and most people already have 90% of the skills they need. If you already have knowledge of a topic that could make an online course, most of your work is already done. So why not take that final step and make some money from it?
Editor's note: If you've always wanted to have a greater measure of control over what your days look like, and how and where you're spending your time and money, then you'd be hard-pressed to find a more flexible way to gain all that than with an online course. It allows you to create a passive income that you can earn, even while you travel... and even while you sleep.
In my Master Marketers Academy, I'll SHOW you, not just tell you, the techniques, secrets, and step-by-step blueprint you need to create a profitable course on almost any subject you can think of. To get into this exclusive Academy, you don't need a budget for a college education. You only need to be "ALL IN" in the Power Lead System and a current Gold Affiliate.
I will SHOW you how to use the PLS system to create courses, material, and get it launched onto the internet so that you can start making a passive or "active" income. I'll even do most, if not all, of the work on the sites, autoresponders, and funnels by giving you my share codes.
You don't have to be a programmer to work with me! You just need the desire to improve your life and start "banking" more money into your pocket!
Passive income is made while you're playing at the beach, spending time with your family, or asleep. Active income is made while you're actively teaching what you know to your clients.
If you want to change your life and get out of the "Minimum Wage Trap" or get some distance between you and General Doldrum, then you need to take action and go "ALL IN" with Power Lead System.
If you're already a Lead Lighting, FLSF, or a Gold Affiliate member, you just need to get "ALL IN" and get the rest of your packages. If you don't OWN them, how are you going to USE them? Much less, teach them?
