How to Make Money by Teaching Online

Learning is an age-old process which keeps on going. Likewise, teaching is the process of imparting knowledge to someone to help them learn.

Teaching has been considered as the noblest professions of all. Nowadays, students prefer to study on the go, through digital and electronic media.

It is quite not handy for the students to carry books and notebooks everywhere, but they can carry a smartphone or a laptop for sure.

So, the trend had to change, and like students, teachers had to teach online from home.

Not only this, but the “teach online” trend also proved to be a good source of income for many, who possess teaching skills and have sufficient knowledge of some topics.

This article will help you find ways to earn money and teach online from home.

YOUTUBE

YouTube is one of the most popular video platforms on the Internet. One can create their own channel and upload videos that can be accessed by anyone from anywhere in the world.

Now, let’s talk about how to teach online from home on YouTube and earning. For this, you need to have the things mentioned below-

An e-mail id
A bank account
Knowledge of your topics
Video

These are the pre-requisites, not much!

Once you have created a YouTube channel, you need to link your account to AdSense.

Let us make this very clear, that if you intend to earn with this “teach online” thing, you need to be honest and not money-minded.

You will need to impart the best of your knowledge for free just to gain an audience.

Once you’ve gained an audience and you have got a good number of videos on your channel you can start with the AdSense thing.

Since you’ve got many visitors now, the ads will be displayed before and after your video and based on the number of impressions (i.e., the number of times ads have been displayed), you will be paid in your bank account.

So, in a nutshell, you must understand that you need to build a strong audience so that you can have a large number of views.

Tip: Creating interactive videos that could help students ask you their doubts will attract more audience! And you need to have excellent presentation skills.

Website/Blog

Another way to teach online is through a website. Get a website created and upload notes and videos made by you.

Again, I must repeat that you cannot make money by teaching online from home if only earning is your motto.

You need to be patient till you attract a good number of visitors. Upload everything you know about a subject and try explaining it in different ways.

Make your website more dynamic and interactive. Once you’ve got a good audience, you can start charging for some premium modules.

If your students will be impressed by your teaching skills and knowledge, they won’t hesitate to pay.

You can also signup to AdSense and link it to the website. A number of ads will be displayed on your website and based on the CPC (Cost per Click) you’ll be paid into your bank accounts.

WordPress, Udemy, Wix, etc., are certain free/cheap platforms where you can get a domain for yourself and get your website going.

Vedantu

Vedantu is an online tutoring website that hosts interactive sessions between the student and the mentor through a real-time virtual learning environment named WAVE.

This platform was developed by a group of Engineers from the IIT and is headquartered in Bangalore. Teachers can register themselves on their official website.

Following which the teacher will find a new window with a form which would ask some details like qualification, time available to teach online from home, specialized subjects, what grade teacher wants to teach online, internet speed, etc.

Once you fill in the form, the form is sent to their board of committee members who review it and then you are asked to give a live explanation on any topic you wish to, following which you are selected or rejected.

Once selected, you will be passed on their paying criteria.

Selling your e-Books Online

Selling your e-Books online is another method to make money by teaching online from home, but it depends on the topic you teach online.

If there are already modules available for free of cost, why would a student purchase them from you?

You would need to create e-Books of your own with simplified techniques, and you can host a trial module on any website or on your own website.

If the students like your e-Books, they will definitely order some from you.

In these cases, you must either present e-Books on some of the latest technologies or topics or either on certain competitive exams.
