Teach an online course
You
can make money online by teaching just about anything via the Internet these
days. Check out online schools like UniversalClass.com
for specialized teaching opportunities, propose short course ideas to your local
community center or college, or advertise your own specialty courses on craigslist
and forums related to your topic.
Here are some pointers:
- Start by creating and marketing a course syllabus/outline. Prospective students should know exactly what to expect.
- Present lesson material with PowerPoint slides, online videos, PDF documents, and/or MS Word documents.
- Interact with students using Blackboard software, an online question/answer forum, and/or VOIP conference calls. Skype video can really make things feel personal.
