Introduction Teaching is hard but fulfilling work. Helping others learn can be exhilarating. But things are changing rapidly, and today you can teach millions of people without leaving the comfort of your home. Do you feel that you are fairly compensated for all of your hard work teaching? Did you know you can make extra income with the teaching skills you already possess, and help others at the same time? About Me I was a high school and college prep English teacher for several years. While I found the work rewarding, I also found it limiting in terms of getting paid what I was worth. Now, I teach and train people all over the world on how to create content that sells, and the sky is the limit.

Do the Work Only Once Today, you can create a second income, supplement your teaching salary, and eventually replace your salary if you want to. What I’m going to share with you today is so powerful that it holds the keys to your wealth, prosperity, and happiness, and allows you to reach and positively affect the lives of many more people than you can connect with in a traditional classroom setting. You may have explored additional income opportunities, but there is a right and wrong way to leverage your skills for cash. I want to share with you how you can do the work once, and create passive income. This is not about trading time for money and receiving an hourly wage. It’s not about doing online tutoring where you do the work once and only get paid once. It’s about doing the work once and then getting paid over and over and over again. And, there are no strict time requirements needed. You don’t have to show up at a certain time, and you can make it fit and work around your classroom obligations and your school year, vacations and work schedule.

The Changing Landscape of Education More than ever, people are taking advantage of the opportunities to learn in unconventional ways. And one of the biggest reasons for this is the rise of online education, teaching, and learning. This is true not only with traditional schools and universities offering online programs, but also individual and self-paced learning. There are now more opportunities than ever before for individuals to learn new skills, start a new business, and advance their careers, all with online education. According to ElearningIndustry.com: The global eLearning Market is expected to reach $107 billion by 2015 [5]. The global self-paced eLearning market reached $32.1 billion in revenue in 2010 [3], with a five year compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.2%. http://elearningindustry.com/elearningstatistics-and-facts-for-2015

Take Part and Reap the Benefits This is a large marketplace that is growing fast, and the missing piece is you! There are millions of individuals who have a need and a desire to learn a variety of topics and skills. And they are looking for teachers, just like you. As a teacher, you have two important skills: • You know how to learn • You know how to teach There are many adult students who do not want to be in a traditional classroom, even a virtual traditional classroom, and will gladly pay for your expertise. And, you do not need to be an expert. As a teacher, you probably had to learn and study a variety of topics on the fly to present them to your classroom. I know that when I was teaching English literature, I certainly had to study up on some of the authors that I wasn’t as familiar with or had not read extensively. And with broad topics, for example, such as Shakespeare, there’s a big difference between being somewhat familiar and being a true expert. Because you already know how to present and teach skills, your expertise is invaluable, regardless of the subject.

Monetizing Your Skills It is now easier than ever for you to be able to monetize your teaching skills and reach a worldwide audience. And there is a number of ways you can do this that can easily fit into your teaching schedule, and ultimately if you wish, to replace your full-time teaching income. Technology now allows you to create and easily sell skills and knowledge in the form of direct consumption products like books, courses, and trainings. In addition, once you build a relationship with your students, you can recommend additional products and services, and even related offers. Learning is a lifelong endeavor, and when you are selling skills, there is a right and wrong way to do it so people can learn effectively and they will come back to you for more.

Easy Ways to Create Passive Income Streams for Teachers As a teacher, your writing and communication skills are better than 90% of the population. And this is a skill you can easily leverage by selling in-demand content online. Here are some easy ways you can create a passive income with your teaching skills, without a job: • Publish e-books on digital platforms. Amazon’s Kindle is the biggest platform with millions of readers and buyers. However, there are other popular platforms such as Apple’s iBookstore. Today, you can publish content fast and easy without needing an agent, or spending months working on getting a manuscript ready for publication. I specialize in providing teaching and training for publishers and authors who want to publish. This is a great way to make passive income. Because once you upload your book, it can sell over and over and over again. • Publish short reports. People are willing to pay you for the knowledge that they need. You can make hundreds and thousands of dollars with short reports. If you pick the right topic, people will pay you directly with cash in hand. I have made thousands of dollars over the years, selling reports. You just have to sell your reports directly to hungry buyers. 8
• Blogging. This is similar to selling written content such as e-books and reports, but you are presenting it into a blog format and providing regular content. There are many bloggers who make thousands and millions of dollars, and you can easily make money with advertising, and affiliate promotions. • Online courses. Going deeper into teaching and learning, training, virtual or online courses is a huge opportunity. For example, Udemy.com is one of the largest providers of online courses. Anyone can create a course, and sell it on their platform. And there are many other ways you can create and sell courses as well. In addition to finding and presenting content and training that you get paid for, every single one of these opportunities allows you to build an ongoing relationship with your audience. By connecting with your audience, you can follow up with them easily and recommend related products and services. This takes your already ongoing income, and multiplies exponentially. And the best way to build an ongoing relationship with your audience is through email marketing.
