Make Money Teaching Online: How to Land Your First Academic Job, Build Credibility, and Earn a Six-Figure Salary… just a crazy book title or a real option for a 6 figure income?
I guess it all depends on you in many ways, but this is an interesting book you need to consider if you’ve:
1. Got knowledge in a “hot” niche of some sort
2. Always said “I can never succeed in sales, I’m more of a teacher than a persuader”
3. You want to create and control your own product and don’t want to handle paper and inventories.
4. You realize that the ebook game is not worth playing to you and you want a product you control and can constantly update.
Of course for some that means creating your own online learning environment. That’s too deep to discuss right now.
This book is for the folks with the credentials to teach in online universities and how to make a living selling your services.
If you can do this, this lets the universities do the marketing and you just do the teaching.
Creating your own online learning environment means you do the marketing but it also means you keep the money… and you don’t have to have any “credentials” other than your expertise.
If you have the credentials in terms of degrees, etc. that allow you to teach at a university level, this book can give you some important ideas on how to start working at home using your teaching skills. Jim Mirabella, one of the authors, tells how he parlayed his business experience into a full time career teaching online courses. So this isn’t just another hastily researched book by someone who found out this was a “hot topic”. This is a book from someone who’s “doing it”.
