TEACH WHAT YOU KNOW
Serve Your Audience, Create Passive Income
Online courses have quickly become one of the best methods for serving a niche audience. They give you an opportunity to teach what you know, going as deep into the content as your students need.
Creating a great course worthy of a premium price requires that you make a solid investment in time and effort up front, but when done properly, it allows you to build a solid passive income stream for your business. Online courses were instrumental in growing the Smart Passive Income business, and we want to teach you how to do the same for your business.
When you create an online course, you can:
- Focus on a specific topic and explore it deeply, much more so than a single blog post or podcast can cover.
- Foster a deeply engaged community around your course's subject. Facebook Groups or Slack communities are good tools for this.
- Employ a variety of teaching methods, including video, audio, text, and exercises like worksheets.
- Set up a passive income stream that allows you to determine your level of engagement.
- Ask your students to complete homework that reinforces your teaching.
- Charge a premium price for a quality learning experience.
