If you are a teacher, of anything, you are more than qualified to start your own online business for teachers. Let me show you how this is possible.
I have been a dance teacher for more than twenty years now. I love my career choice and enjoy teaching many dance forms.
Of course, most people aren’t built to be ballerina’s but anyone who does dance classes can tell you that they have gained so much personally, spiritually and physically by taking dancing classes. Once you are a dancer, you are easily noticed by the way that you move and hold yourself.
Being a dance educator or any other type of educator is hard work, as you probably well know.
Every year one has to come up with ideas for new concepts and ideas to get your pupils to grasp what you are trying to teach them, as well as keep your class motivated. Not only that but you need to stay motivated, dedicated and fresh yourself.
Most of the teachers that I have met are motivated and driven because they love what they do. They are passionate about their jobs and often not appreciated enough.
As a teacher, you have all the skills in place to be a successful entrepreneur, as you rarely give up and keep striving to do better.
Unfortunately, the teaching profession is grossly underpaid in most countries, and even if you have your own school, it can take years to build it up and become profitable.
Teaching is one of those professions that you do for the love of it, rather than to become rich. Rather than to become rich financially we become rich emotionally (which isn’t a bad thing).
What About An Online Business For Teachers?
A few years ago, I decided to take stock of my financial future. As teachers we all trade time for money, but what happens when we can no longer do that. What can we do with our spare time, little that there is, to build a financial platform for ourselves for when times are tough, or for an extra nest egg when we retire.
We also need something that can create a good residual income for many years to come, without having to trade our time for money. Do we have protection in place if something happens to us physically, and we aren’t able to teach anymore? How many of us actually think of the future. Do you really think you can go on teaching until you are 70 years old?
This is why I decided to start my own online business for teachers.
As teachers we have so much knowledge to share, so why not do it by building your own website around that favourite subject that we love to teach. If you would like to see the website that I created a few years ago, you can click here.
Any teacher could create something like this online focusing on the subject that they are passionate about. The best part about this sort of business is that you can do it in your spare time, it’s fun, so it doesn’t feel like work and best of all over time your efforts will start to pay you again and again.
What other jobs can you do the work once and get paid from that same piece of work over and over, unless you are of course a songwriter or singer?
This Is What I Did…
I was lucky enough to find an online marketing company that is second to none. As I am technically challenged, I was looking for something I could do from home on my computer in my spare time, but also with some excellent training and coaches on hand to answer my endless stream of questions.
I am talking about the world of Affiliate Marketing and the company I joined to get all my training, website hosting, domain names and more is called The Wealthy Affiliate university. You can read more about my journey with Wealthy Affiliate here.
The earning potential is incredible, especially for a South African, as most of the earnings are paid in Dollars. When I started with the company, I was told to put in at least 15 hours a week, but it is so exciting learning new things each day that I am motivated to get up earlier and go to bed later, just so that I can pack more into my day. I didn’t think that something like this could become such a passion.
Day by day I am slowly building my financial security for the future, and with this system, I get to create wealth for my future using their products, as well as continue with my present passion of teaching.
So teachers, what are you waiting for? You too can have your own online business for teachers and work for yourself.
