1. Provide Online Training
You can use the knowledge and the skills that you have to create online
training courses and programs. People will pay to access your training
and you can use established platforms such as Udemy and Teachable to
make your training available.
Decide on the Format of your Course
We would recommend that you provide your online training courses in
video format but you can also include text-based resources such as PDF
documents, spreadsheets, slide presentations and more. Find out what
your market wants before deciding on the format of your training. You
can research existing courses in your niche to see how they present their
training.
Right now, there are people earning huge amounts of money by
providing online training. They provide courses that show people how to
learn a new skill or solve a specific problem. Think about it – you create
your training course once and you sell it over and over to people that
want it.
Anyone can Create a Good Online Training
Course
You may be thinking that you do not have the knowledge, skills or
experience to create a quality online training course. But this is not the
case. There are people looking to learn all kinds of things online and all
you need to do is to learn more than they do and you can create a course.
The online course that you create does not have to be very extensive.
Less is often more with online training as people do not want to spend
too much time learning. You could develop a basic course and then more
advanced courses to make even more money.
Knowing what your target audience wants is the secret to success. In
every niche, there are problems that people have and you can identify
these and solve them with your online training. Do your research and
uncover these pain points. Then create your courses around them.
Make an Assessment of your Current Skills
The first step to creating successful online training courses is to make an
assessment of the skills that you currently have. Identify your interests
as well as it will be a lot easier for you to create a course around
something that you are interested in.
You want to come up with a list of possibilities and then choose the best
one to get started. Perhaps you have some experience of digital
marketing and generating traffic to a website for example. Or maybe you
are an accountant and can teach people valuable business accounting
skills?
There is value in these skills and many others. If you don’t think that
you have valuable skills and experience to offer then you can learn anew
skill, master it, and then create a course around it. The most important
thing is that you create courses that people want.
The Sky is the Limit with Online Training
The provision of online training has the potential to make you a lot of
money and can be one of the most profitable side hustles around. There
are many options for you to take this further to make more money. For
example, you could decide to provide personal one-on-one coaching to
your students. You can charge a lot more money for this. If your online
training is high-quality (which it needs to be) and people perceive you to
be an expert, some of them will want more
from you and will be willing
to pay for it.
If you like the online coaching idea then you could offer your students a
30 day or 60 day series of calls. Another idea is to create a membership
website where your students pay you a monthly subscription for
additional training and resources.
2. Provide Freelance Services
When you offer freelance services, you should be able to make good
money without having to spend a lot of time. All you need to do is to
decide what services you want to offer, decide what you will charge for
your services and then only accept the number of gigs that you have time
to complete comfortably.
There are many different freelancing services that you can provide. Your
aim is to develop a client base who will come back to you with more
work on a regular basis. Today, there are several freelancing websites
where you can find freelancing work. Fiverr.com is a very popular “gigbased” site where you can advertise your services for free. If you prefer
to respond to project requests from clients then you can join a website
like Freelancer.com.
Choose your Freelancing Services
You need to decide which freelancing services that you are going to
provide. Choose a service that is in demand so you will get a steady
stream of work. Here are some examples of in-demand freelancing
services:
• Content writing
• Copywriting
• Translation
• WordPress set up and maintenance
• Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
• Web design and development
• Graphic design
• Social media marketing
You need to be confident that you can complete any job that you accept.
If you don’t feel that you have the right skills to offer you can learn them
first. It is better to do this than to just accept jobs that you do not know
how to complete.
Customer Service is everything
When you are providing freelancing services, you need to develop a
good reputation with your customers. Ask your customers to leave you a
review on websites like Fiverr and Freelancer as this will help you to
obtain work from other customers. If your profile has many testimonials
then customers are more likely to choose you for their work than your
competitors that have few reviews.
Commit to delivering your services to specific deadlines. Your
customers will really appreciate this. If you need to clarify anything then
contact the customer right away so that you can fully understand what
they need. Regular communication with your customers will help you to
obtain even more glowing testimonials.
Research your Pricing
Identify who your competitors are in the freelancing world and compare
the prices that they are charging. If you set your prices too high when
you start out then you will probably find it difficult to get work. You do
not want to set your prices too low either as you could end up working
like a slave for little reward.
Find out what other freelancers are charging for similar services. You
want to give the impression that your services are high-quality so don’t
settle for the lowest price. Go for a reasonable price to begin with. As
you build up your profile with positive testimonials from customers you
can increase your prices with confidence.
Here are some freelancing websites that you can consider for offering
your services:
Fiverr.com
PeoplePerHour.com
Upwork.com
Freelancer.com
Guru.com
Please note that the first 2 sites (Fiverr and PeoplePerHour) are “gig
based” where you can create your own gigs (ads) for your services and
customers will choose the one that they want. The remaining 3 sites are
“project based” which means that you need to respond to client projects
with your bid.
3. Create “How To” Videos
These days, people prefer to watch a video to learn how to do something
rather than read a lot of text. YouTube is the second largest website in
the world and receives around 35 billion visitors each month. It is also
the second largest search engine after Google. A lot of people search
YouTube for “how to” videos.
If you create popular “how to” videos then you can quickly generate a
lot of views and make a lot of money. Once you get used to creating
these videos it will be easy for you to make more of them. Creating a
YouTube channel for your videos is very easy.
What Videos will you create?
Creating the right type of “how to” videos is critical to your success.
You want to upload videos that people want to watch. A good place to
start is to assess your current skills, knowledge and experience. Can you
turn any of this into popular how-to video content?
Spend some time going through YouTube looking for how-to videos in
your chosen niche. Look at the average number of views that the videos
receive. Also take note of the number of subscribers that the channel
has.
Play some of the most popular videos to see how they are structured. Do
not copy what others are doing but use their videos for inspiration. How
are they answering the questions that their audience has? What kind of
style do the videos have? Are they showing their faces on camera or
using a slide show approach?
Take the time out to fully research your market. The more that you know
about what your audience wants, the more likely you are to create the
right videos. What problems do your audience have? Can you provide
solutions to these problems in your videos?
Creating High-Quality How-To Videos
We recommend that you show your face on camera. A lot of people
don’t like this idea but it will help to build trust with your audience.
Although the cameras in smartphones are improving all of the time, we
also recommend that you invest in a good quality webcam and
microphone.
YouTube users are not expecting you to create Hollywood style videos.
But they do expect your videos to be good quality. Using an inferior
