$500-1000 Monthly Passive Income From Skillshare Courses

Content creation courses on e-learning platforms [are] 70% of my “passive” income now… they make money while I sleep. At the moment I publish 1-2 classes per year…

I just publish beginner courses about the things I know and/or are useful to me. If I try a new editing software or want to document how I do X or Y, I create a course for it.

Sounds like his main platform is Skillshare, see his classes here 👀

These platforms also have a monthly newsletter showing which topics are in demand or trending. Tons of courses already exist about those topics, but you can bring your own twist or… update the style/info…

Some months I make $500 with my courses, some months $1000. It fluctuates quite a bit. The more courses you publish, the higher the chances of making more money.

His average course is ~30 minutes long with ~500 students, so you don’t need big numbers to earn some nice passive income here 👍
