Distinguish
Yourself:
Paid to Teach & Write Online Course Live Interactive Online Course
What if you could make it
pay to write and publish? In this seminar you will learn to
teach and write your way to paid publication and distinguish
yourself. No credentials necessary, your expertise is your
qualification. The topics are
unlimited. There is something you
know that others would like to learn, and it is probably
your favorite topic. Whether racing pigeon nutrition, how
insurance really works, or physics, you may turn your
expertise into a NONCREDIT course. It is likely you have all
the technology you need for this work. You set your schedule
and compensation. You will learn
action steps on how to organize content for delivery, market
your course to noncredit programs nationwide by email, for
both in-person sage-on-the-stage and internet courses, and
how to leverage it all to produce and market your book.
Stake out territory for your topic on the ‘net and make your
name the top hit for pages on Google search and Amazon
books, without investing a dime in promotion. Whether
sideline work or your career, the amount of work you take is
up to you. Enjoy the benefits of self-employment.Required Text:
