Maybe This Is Your Ticket To A Full Time Income
So let me ask you a question "What do you know?"
The reason I asked is you may or may not be aware of this but the online learning industry pulled in $56 Billion last year last year (2014) and is on track to pull in $107 Billion by the end of 2015.
That's HUGE!!!
Ok next question:
Have you heard of Lynda.com?
It's by far the 800 pound gorilla in online learning or as it's been coined E-Learning inviroment. I've used it on several occasions. Currently it has over 83,000 instructional videos.
In fact LinkedIn bought Lynda for $1.5 billion this past April. Dame!!
So why am I telling you this?
Simple.
Because your knowledge could be your ticket to a 6 or 7 figure online income. Millions and millions of people are turning to the internet to learn.
So why not teach them what you know?
There are people making huge incomes buy creating very simple and short training/instructional/learning courses, both in print and in video or a combination of both.
You'll find E-Learning courses teaching people everything from how to use Excel to how to write a novel and everything in between.
The WA is an E-Learning environment or course. Yes it's more in depth than most E-Learning courses but it's an e-learning course nonetheless.
And Kyle and Carson are making millions with their E-Learning environment.
Here in the WA you're being taught how to make money as an affiliate which is great, and yes there is no doubt you can make a fantastic living from affiliate marketing.
I'm living proof of that - but the natural progression or growth (in my opinion) of an affiliate should be owning your own product.
Having your own product puts you in total control of your income and of course gives you ALL the profit.
I'm a true believer in the power of online learning, as I mentioned earlier I've used e-learning for many things.
But what really excites me about this market is how it allows people (you) to create a business out of their (your) expertise.
I hope this gives you some food for thought on other opportunities of creating a full time online income other than just affiliate marketing.
I believe in you

This is exactly what I think makes the difference. For many people, affiliate marketing is a nice way to make some money on the side, although it usually takes both time and persistence to get there.
Quite a few makes a good living out of, too. But you are not in total control of your earnings. Having your own intellectual (digital) product puts you in control. And with that, I believe chances of really making it big can be there. But not without hard work. You need to know how to get there, just like you have to learn how to become a wealthy affiliate. Some people get very rich of course doing this. Like Ramit Sethi of iwillteachyouhowtoberich..It's brilliant marketing of course. I agree. The wonderful thing about it is that we all have some kind of skill others could be willing to pay for to learn. So there is a chance for basically anyone to use the internet as a classroom. But you have to learn how to package and market your product. It's what makes the difference between your private blog and a multi million dollar business.
Spot on, and with an online course the marketing is total different - one method would be driving people directly to a landing or squeeze page.
Probably e-mail marketing is also very important in order to do that..? I know very little about it, so far..I only know that writing great copy is Alfa and omega to build relationship and get those sales..
Great idea! I was throwing around the idea of selling in-person training down the road, but this is even a better idea...or at least something I should consider in addition.
You're expertise is ripe for a e-learning course. You could even include Skype as part of your teaching method
I allready have all kind of tutorials on my website, how would you present those then? How on earth would I take it from here to make it into earnings?
I would have a completely separate site for your course. You can then make that the training/membership site.
You just gave me a light bulb moment Leo. Thanks for that! Time to start doing some research :)
Music is definitely 1 niche, but if you offer people a chanced to take courses through a site you own, you can target everything!

Anybody interested in mountain climbing courses, or lectures in plasma physics theory, or some details about lives of great composers?
You see Leo that is mu problem. What I know is useless for majority people out there. But I appreciate what you are saying and I take on-board what you are saying, as always with things from you.
Often when listening to CBC, I was surprised at how colourful some composers lives were. They weren't the stuffy old farts I thought they were! (For example, the movie Amadeus really opened my eyes to this). This may be a great niche to explore.

Not useless at all - don't sell yourself short there are millions of people that want to know what you know - mountain climbing to me would be a great niche, there is so much you could share.
