Teaching online is a unique challenge, whether you’re a seasoned educator or trying it for the first time, there’s a lot to learn in order to make an online course both engaging and informative.

Start by planning your course content ahead of time and consider what people are likely to be searching for and what level of expertise is required for the course you are hoping to teach. Once you have started planning your content, you can begin carefully organising your materials into clear, easy-to-follow lessons on your website.

Next, become familiar with the technology you are hoping to use as part of your course. If your lessons require audio and video, practice recording your voice and testing your video in different locations to find the best spot to record content for your website.

Finally, it’s important to encourage interaction with your students. Asking for comments and questions, setting up discussion groups, and using social media can be a simple way to involve students in the lesson and create a valuable space for feedback to keep improving your content!

Creating courses can be a fun, rewarding way to earn additional income while showcasing your skills and expertise – so how can you begin monetising your content to maximise your potential earnings?

A good way to start is by providing free teaser content to begin cultivating an audience. Sharing a brief snippet via social media or email marketing can showcase your teaching style and the value that the full course can bring to your potential students.

Once you have created enough interest in your educational content, make sure to put the rest of your course behind a paywall to demonstrate its value and exclusivity. Finally, make sure that all of your exclusive content is appropriately priced, so that your target audience is getting good value for the content they are paying for.
