Codepath is also amazing but much narrower and smaller. None of these companies require a full-time commitment, and in fact, most of the content comes from part-time teachers who are supplementing their full-time job. These platforms are continuously looking for additional instructors (no need to be a professor at Stanford or MIT), and they’re transparent about how you can succeed. I personally know instructors who have found success with each of the 4 companies listed above. If your content is very niche, or you aren’t able to work with anyone at Pluralsight or LI Learning, then explore the democratic platforms. If you can work with an assisted platform, start there – my vote is LI Learning based on my experience. Democratic platforms: No upfront payments, no approval process: Udemy, Skillshare.Assisted platforms: Upfront payments, instructors must be approved: Pluralsight, LinkedIn Learning.If you’re getting started as a course creator, I recommend the following platforms, broken into categories: Creating and selling an online course has never been easier – you can jump on this trend today to generate meaningful passive income or even replace your day job.Ī glimpse of what’s possible: Udemy has several courses that have accrued millions in course sales, Skillshare reports that “top earning teachers make $100,000+ each year”, and Pluralsight announced their first millionaire online teacher way back in 2013. After their blockbuster $4B IPO in October, Udemy recently announced that more than 50K courses were published on their platform in 2021. As a result, many content platforms are willing to pay top dollar for high quality, engaging courses. Courses typically contain several hours of content (30 minute minimum), and can be published within weeks.ĬOVID has dramatically accelerated the trend toward self-paced, online learning, both for companies and individuals.
In total, I make several hundred dollars a month from the content I’ve created. I’ve published a course on LinkedIn Learning, created 150+ videos on my monetized YouTube education channel, and built the Android curriculum for Codepath. Teaching online is increasingly becoming the most common side hustle for engineers.
