Do Online Course Creators Believe That EVERYONE Is Qualified To Create Online Courses?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I would like to answer a question I heard recently which is do online course creators think everyone is qualified to create and sell online courses? Well that's kind of a loaded question because you're almost generalizing that all online course creators think the same, and that's definitely not true within the online course creating world. There are people who believe that you can only teach online courses if you have incredible credentials, and these people tend to be the more technical online course creators. There Are 2 Types of Course Creators In other words, they're teaching on technical topics like programming or engineering or analysis or excel or things like that. Then there's the other side of the spectrum that says anyone can teach, and I fall closer to the bottom side of the spectrum of saying that anyone can teach. And the reason is we all teach people all the time. If you're a parent, you're teaching your kids. If you work as a manager somewhere, you're teaching the people that work with you, right? So we're all teachers to some degree or another. The real question is, what are …

Has Anyone Become Ultra Wealthy From Selling Courses Online?

Today I have a great question all about the online course business, and it is are there any people who became ultra wealthy from creating and selling courses online? And if so, how did they do it? I've got a great answer for you. You see the online course business has traditionally been on the online course marketplaces such as Udemy, Skillshare, Lynda, and all these other marketplaces. The Best Way to Make a Lot of Money Through Online Courses But there's a much better way to make money with online courses than that, and it's by creating a sales funnel for your online course and marketing the heck out of your course.

What Are The Three Hardest Skills For Making A Lot Of Money Online?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I wanted to answer the question what is the hardest skill to teach people to make a lot of money online? I've been making a lot of money online for about 19 years now, and I can tell you that there are three core things that I've had to learn the hard way in order to make money online. Just Stick With One Business The first thing is probably the most important and that it is stick to one business only until you make it work. This is a common mistake that most people make is they get excited about a business. They jumped into this business model, but the problem with the online marketing world is there are all kinds of ways to make money online and legitimate ways to make money online. The Internet is an incredible place and the Internet is incredible leverage tool for anyone to be able to make money online. So what happens is they get started in one business model.

How Much Money Can You Make By Teaching Programming Online?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and in this article I'd like to answer the question how much money can you make by teaching programming online. Well programming is a particularly good thing to teach online, and the reason is there are tons and tons of people looking for programming education. They're looking for information on how to become a programmer, or how to learn that new language, or all kinds of things primarily because programming is a skill of the future. There's huge demand for that type of teaching. How You can Teach Programming Online When teaching programming online, there's two ways you can go. One way is to teach on Youtube.com. Now Udemy is a good marketplace for programming courses and the reason is it seems like there's a lot of techie people that hang out at Udemy right now. I think eventually it's going to be a more mass appeal marketplace, but right now it's still kind of in the early adopter phase. So the programming courses on Udemy are very, very popular and do really, really well. In fact, one of the top instructors on Udemy generates a $3,000,000 income every year just from teaching programming …

What Are The Tools Required For Online Teaching?
Welcome back to the Info Boss channel, where we show you how to sell your info like a boss through online courses and information products. Today I want to answer a question that came up on Quora, and the question is “what are the tools required for online teaching?” The Three Tools You Need Well really there's only three main tools that you need to create an online course. The first tool that you need is a screen recording software. Now I recommend Screencast-o-matic. Screencast-o-matic is super inexpensive, and yet it outputs high quality hd video. You can record everything you're doing on your screen, including if you go visit a website or if you open up a software tool or anything you might do on your screen. You can record that, and narrate with a microphone as you’re teaching. So basically you're creating an online tutorial as if somebody's just looking over your shoulder. That's an incredibly awesome tool. In fact, most of my 60 courses use Screencast-o-matic to record my lessons, so it's an incredible tool. The other thing you're going to need is a decent microphone. I use the Blue Yeti microphone. There are all kinds of …

Will Online Teaching Eventually Replace A College or University Degree?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I'm answering a question on quora that goes like this. “Will online teaching eventually replace the expense of studying for a degree?” Well I believe that eventually, yes, online teaching will replace college and university teaching. But I think we're a long way off til that happens for a lot of reasons. I mean the college and university system is deeply entrenched in the culture. It's still seen as very important for people to be able to get that degree and then use that degree to hopefully get a better job. But I see technology just raging forward and moving forward so quickly that it's just a matter of time before online teaching overtakes college and university teaching, with still the same type of credibility that a physical degree from a physical university has. It’ll Happen, But It’s Still a Long Way Off We're a long ways away from that. I think that we're already seeing strides moving in that direction, and are already seeing a lot of colleges and universities using online courses and online teaching to be able to teach all over the world. So the benefits of online teaching …

The Best Way To Make A Passive Income Online
Hey this is Dave Espino, and today I want to talk about the best way I've found to make a passive income online. It's information products. Information products are the best way to make a passive income online, because you're providing a really good service. You're providing information, and typically that information can be a how to video course. It can be the answers to a lot of questions, or it can be how to do something better; how to do something more efficiently, how to overcome a challenge, how to learn a new skill, how to improve their career opportunities, how to get fit, how to lose weight. All these kinds of things are things that people are searching for actively on the Internet right now. Every second that ticks by. There's 40,000 searches happening on Google. 40,000 People Search for Information Every Second! Every single second, 40,000 searches, 40,000 searches, 40,000 searches every second. What are these people looking for? Primarily they're looking for information and if you put together a good information product, a really good resource that helps them, you're going to sell a lot of that information product. But now the ultimate way to create …
A Common Question: How Do Online Courses Sell If Information Is Freely Available?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I'm answering a question that someone requested, and the question is “can we make money by teaching online or offering online courses? How can we make money this way since many free teaching materials can be found on the Internet?” The classic question that a lot of people ask and that is, “hey, why should I create an online course if you could find everything for free online?” Well first it presupposes that you can find everything for free online, and that's not the case. Some of the Best Information is Hidden! A lot of people hold their best information back so they can put it into an online course where they hold their best information back because it's proprietary, and they just wouldn't want to give it away for free. So you can't find everything for free online. Sure you can find a lot of different things online, but typically if you're looking online for information you're going to Youtube. There you're going to get two or three minute videos, little nuggets here and there, but not an entire comprehensive flowing course that goes from topic to topic to topic. A …

Can You Make $5,000 A Month As A Udemy Instructor?
This is Dave Espino, and today I'm answering a question that somebody requested “can one make $5,000 being a fulltime Udemy trainer?” I'm going to assume that they mean $5,000 a month. The answer is yes somebody can do that, but no it's not likely for the average Udemy instructor. The Bulk Course Method Some Udemy instructors only publishes one course, and it's unlikely that one course will make them $5,000 a month. This is unless the topic happens to be in a very high demand topic with very little competition. It is possible, but it's not likely. So what many Udemy instructors do is they publish more than one course. They publish 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 courses and that allows them to make and stack these passive income streams one on top of another. This is the overriding thing that's going to determine your income on Udemy because so many of these things are out of your control. The pricing is out of your control. The reviews that you get are sometimes out of your control. The at least the review system, the way it's set up the competition is out of your control. So there's a lot …

How You Can Market Your Online Courses More Effectively
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I want to talk about a problem I hear a lot; "How can I market my courses better?” This is something a lot of online course instructors (especially Udemy instructors) are curious about. Here's the question I've got to ask you at the very beginning of this; do you want your marketing efforts to go toward your Udemy courses, the courses on the Udemy marketplace, or would you rather have those marketing efforts applied to somewhere where you get 100% of the revenue and you have full control over your pricing? In other words, you can charge a lot more for your courses. Then you get on Udemy, and for some reason Udemy is just this very highly discounted marketplace. It relies on high volume and low ticket prices. What Do You Want Out of the Online Course Business? So at the very beginning of this answer, I've got to ask you would you really like to get the most out of your course business? And if that's the case and if you're planning to do marketing for your courses, then why not have them on your own self hosted platform where …

Is Passive Income Real, or is it Just a Pipe Dream?
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I'd like to cover a question I heard “is passive income a pipe dream?” I can tell you categorically passive income is not a pipe dream, but the types of people that think it might be a pipe dream are people who are not familiar with the Internet marketing world. Things like what exists out there, and how passive income is very real for many of us. What is Passive Income? Let me kind of share what passive income is and then how you get passive income, and then I'll share with you my favorite way to generate a passive income. So what is passive income? Number one, it's really a situation where you do something once and then you get paid over and over and over again. So you set up a system where you've got a product offer and you have a way to drive traffic to that product offer on an ongoing basis. Because that traffic is driven on an ongoing basis and you have this product for sale on the Internet, especially if it's a digital product, then it's hands free. From that point on, that traffic keeps …

The Fastest and Safest Way To Make Passive Income
This is Dave Espino, and I'm answering a question I heard recently which is “what is the fastest and safest way to earn passive income?” Now, the word safest implies that you're looking for some kind of an investment to invest your money to generate passive income. Now, the passive income that I'm talking about here in this article is passive income that you create where you do some work once, but then it pays you over and over and over again. So my answer to what is the fastest and safest way to earn a passive income is to create an online video course. But Why Online Courses? When you create a video course that explains how to do something, how to do something better, or quicker, or more efficiently, how to overcome a challenge, how to learn a basic skill; that is a product that can be sold over and over and over again. And it's a digital product, which means that you get to keep 100% of the money. In most other products, especially physical products, they have a cost to manufacture the product, a cost to ship it, a cost to have it run through the …

The Weirdest Way I’ve Made A Passive Income
Hey this is Dave Espino, the InfoBoss, and today I wanted to share the weirdest way I’ve seen or experienced to make passive income. I make passive income in a variety of different ways, so I'm just going to list them out really quickly. My Passive Income Sources One is through print on demand products on the Internet. One is through the merch by Amazon program, which is Amazon's print on demand tee shirt business. Another is through the Kindle marketplace selling my ebooks as well as the paperback versions of those books on Amazon. Another way I make passive income is through affiliate marketing and email marketing, and my favorite way that I make passive income is through online courses creating online courses that all kinds of people buy and it creates a massive passive income for me. That's my favorite and my biggest form of passive income. But What is the Weirdest Way I Make Passive Income? Well, the weirdest way is occasionally I'll get this payment notification in my email and it says I made 31 cents. And I think it's funny because it's selling a sticker. Everytime I sell these stickers it makes me 31 cents, …
Some of the Different Ways I Make A Passive Income
Welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I wanted to talk about some of my sources of passive income. So let me do a quick rundown of some of the various passive income streams that I have. Redbubble Let's start with a website called Redbubble.com. Now Redbubble is a print on demand website, so what you do is you upload a design to Redbubble and then you can have that design printed on all kinds of merchandise. For example, I got the InfoBoss logo printed on a mug, I have that logo printed on stickers, I have that same logo printed on a notepads and things like that. So you can take that same logo and have it published on a bunch of different things. So that's one form of passive income stream that I have. I have a variety of different products up there. Redbubble already has traffic and when you have traffic, you match it up with a product, you have passive income. Merch by Amazon Another similar business is merch by Amazon, now merch by Amazon is Amazon's print on demand service where you upload some designs and then you can get tee shirts made with …

The Best Platforms To Make Money With Online Teaching
Hey this is Dave Espino, and today I'm answering a question I heard recently what's the best teaching platform to set up a course for? How can you make money online that earns income for every student that enrolls in it?” Now this is a very specific question and I love it when people give me these specific questions. A lot of times people ask vague questions that require a lot of clarification, but this is a very specific question asking about where's the best place I can publish my course. If you've got a course about how to make money online, there are basically three great platforms that you can publish that course on. The Top 3 Teaching Platforms Currently Now WarriorPlus is not really well known outside of the small Internet marketing community, but in the Internet marketing community people know that warrior plus is the place where Internet marketing courses live. That's where Internet marketing courses exist. So if you have something about how to make money online then warrior plus is the place to publish it, because that's a huge market of people that are looking for information on that topic.

Which Online Course Instructor Earns The Most Money?
Hey this is Dave Espino, the InfoBoss, and today I wanted to answer a question I heard recently “which online instructor earns the most money, and on which platform; Udemy, Teachable, Skillshare, etc.” Let me answer that question by saying the richest instructors are not going to be on a platform. Where are the Richest Instructors at? They're not going to be on Udemy They're not going to be on Teachable. They're not going to be on Skillshare. The instructors who earn the most money have a sales funnel that they've created that drives traffic to their course or a sales process. A sales funnel that drives traffic to a webinar where they can sell a high ticket course. That's where the action is. If you want it to be one of the most successful instructors, you can do that by creating your own self hosted plan with a sales funnel, and a sales process to filter out people that may not buy from you at the higher ticket levels. Now I do this with a high ticket offer. A lot of people do it with high ticket offers and these sales funnel models far out earned. Anything you can …

What are Good Businesses to Start to Make a Passive Income (While Working Full Time)
Hey this is Dave Espino, and today I wanted to talk about some good businesses you can start for a passive income while working full time. I've got the right answer for you, and that is starting an online course business. If you're working full time, chances are good that you have some good work experiences, some good skills, some talents that you've developed in your full time job and even in your career history. Things that you've learned how to manage people, how to deal with difficult customers. All kinds of things that you've learned and developed and taken in over the years. A lot of times, a lot of us don't give ourselves enough credit for the knowledge that we have, the talents that we've gained and the skills that we have. But those things can be sold. Those talents, those skills, those abilities, that knowledge, that life experience; that can be packaged up into an online course. And you can turn that into a course that you can sell over and over and over again. It's an incredible business because there's a couple ways you can go with it.

How You Can Make Money Online From Home Using Your Laptop
Hey this is Dave Espino, the InfoBoss and welcome back. Today I'm going to talk about how someone can make money from home online using their laptop and the Internet. Now as someone who's done this for almost 20 years now, I can tell you there are several ways to do it. Through Selling Products Online One of the best and easiest ways is to sell stuff online, like selling things on Ebay or Amazon. That's one of the easiest, lowest hanging fruit types of opportunities that exist. You can buy stuff locally at thrift stores, flea markets, swap meets.You can buy stuff locally using the Facebook marketplace or using the local Facebook classified ads. You can buy stuff locally and then sell it globally on Ebay or Amazon and you would be amazed at the kind of profits you can make. Now that's a work intensive type of business, but it's a great, honest business where you can buy stuff and flip it online for great profits. Through Freelancing Another way that you can make money online with your computer is to be a freelancer. By freelancing, I mean that you can go to these websites like Upwork.com or …

“I Need An Income” – How A Stay At Home Parent Can Make Money
Hey this is Dave Espino and today I'm wanted to talk about a question I heard recently, “I need an income now that I can stay at home as a dad, how could I make money? Would it be wise to build craft to sell?” Now this question is important because a lot of people want to stay home with their kids, want to be able to take care of their kids and not have to work. 9 to 5 jobs can suck the life out of you. They can be very stressful. They can be time consuming. They're not always 9 to 5. Sometimes there are 9 to 6, 9 to 7, 9 to 8. But How Do You Make Money Without a 9 to 5?

How Much Time Should You Invest When Creating A Passive Income?
Hey welcome back, this is Dave Espino and today I want to discuss how much time you should invest when creating a passive income. How Long it Takes Me The quick answer is how many passive income streams do you want? Right? Because for me it takes me about 6 to 8 hours to create one online course and I use online courses to create passive income. Let's just say it takes me one full working day in the typical 9 to 5 model to create an online course. Well I could hypothetically create a course every single day. Right now I don't do that because part of the work is creating the online course and then part of it is publishing the course and maybe doing a little bit of initial marketing to get the course launched. In general I could conceivably create at least an online course every week, and I've been on paces like that where I've actually done that. In fact, one week I created five online courses. This was back in November of 2015 I believe, and it was amazing. It gave me a great income boost. How Much Passive Income Do You Want? So …

How Can You Sell Courses Online?
Welcome back, and today I wanted to talk about how you can sell courses online. There's so many different answers to this question, so let me kind of go through it with you and go through the different methods I've used in the past. What Are Your Options? First of all, the broad question is, how do I sell courses online? Well, there's two primary ways that you can do it. Number one is you can sell on Udemy.com and other similar online course marketplaces. You can actually take the same course that you publish on Udemy, which is the biggest online course marketplace at the moment, and you can take that same course and publish it on all these other marketplaces. That's a good strategy because now you're able to not only have the income from you to me, but also these other marketplaces. It diversifies and spreads out your income, spreads out your risk, and it's a really good strategy. It's a strategy that I employed as well. The second way that you can sell online courses is through your own sales funnel, through your own self hosted online course platform. Right now there are a couple of …

How Do I Know I’m Good Enough to Create an Online Course?
Hey this is Dave Espino, the InfoBoss, and today I wanted to answer a question I heard recently which is “how do I know I'm good enough to create an online course?” You know, that's kind of a common thing that people deal with before they create their first online course and before they start getting some feedback from students. Now here's the thing. Let me ask you this question. Have you ever shown anyone how to do something? Have you ever taught your kids how to tie their shoe? For example, have you ever shown a teenager how to fix a flat tire or how to change out a tire? Have you ever shown anyone anything? Chances are good that you have, whether it's been on your job, whether it's been in, in parenting, or whether it's just been in the world in general, right? So if you ever taught anyone how to do anything, then you have the skill of teaching. Making a Course Exciting and Interesting The question now becomes, how can you make a great course that people will be excited about and they'll be interested in?
