Building a Career as an Online Instructor

[Jasmine]

A lot of people suggest you that online teaching and selling online courses will allow you to make a lot of money. While you might have to work actively to make money as an online teacher, selling online courses is completely passive source. Teaching online is relatively simple, as you use conference call app to teach, it is just like classroom teaching. However, very few people realize how much work goes into creating a digital course.

A digital course is more than just a collection of tips; it is an instructional manual that includes hours of video training, podcasts, reading materials, workbooks, digital planners, etc..

Creating online course requires you to have elaborate skills on multiple discipline. You must not only be an expert in the subject matter, but also have skills related to course creation, for example, podcasting, writing, video making, and so on. Even after you have created your course, your work does not end, you need to do SEO and digital marketing.

First of all, you need skills, not average-level skills but expert-level skills in order to build a career as an online instructor. For example, you can teach English online on a language learning platform, you can also create language courses and offer your courses through various learning platforms. However, you can excel as an English teacher or can sell your English language courses and earn money by teaching English only when you have expert-level English language skills and knowledge. The traditional education and courses offered in schools and colleges focus on theoretical aspects of the subject, however, online courses and teaching are more focused on practical aspects. Whether you want to teach or offer courses, you need to keep in mind this fact. You also need to have skills related to using internet technology, video making, podcasting, writing, etc, in order to build your career as an online instructor. There is a lot of hard work.

Well, for me, I prefer creating online course to online tutor. Teaching online is similar to doing task online. That's why most of them pay per hour. And you can be fired at any time if your students give bad reviews about you.
