Get Paid To Train Others
Do you have skills that you can show others how to do?
Perhaps you can train people on how to upload files via FTP.
Or maybe you know of a way of driving traffic to a website.
Training in these categories can benefit others. Even nicer, it can benefit you as a member of Wealthy Affiliate!
Training Creation is Part of the Open Education Project
Wealthy Affiliate has a feature known as the Open Education Project. This is an extensive system designed to allow members to share all kinds of content with each other. Training and videos are part of this sharing.
The founding members of Wealthy Affiliate (Kyle and Carson) wanted a way for members to participate in creating training and/or videos that could benefit other members. They knew that it would be difficult to simply ask members to contribute training modules. This is time consuming and members are busy with other aspects of their lives including maintaining their online businesses.
The solution: reward members financially for creating training/videos. There are members that are generating full time monthly incomes from the training that they create. And the best part - create it once and it continues to benefit the creator for many months (if not years) thereafter.
How Does WA Ensure Quality with the Training?
In order to keep the quality level high for the training, members won't get paid for their training unless certain criteria is met and certain events occur. The following shows what those components are:
As you can see, you cannot just throw up a bunch of training modules and expect to make money from them. It is really up to the members themselves as to which training they see value in.
Eligibility
Eligibility is subject to change so be sure to check in the members area before actually creating a training module.
How to Create Training
You can create training by recording your screen and your voice and saving it as a video. It will then be available for upload to the Wealthy Affiliate training area. For example, suppose you are going to offer training on some software package that you are proficient in and believe it could help the other members in Wealthy Affiliate. You simply demonstrate the program while in screen recording mode and talk about the steps to take while going through the software. At that stage, you have training that can be used for Wealthy Affiliate.
Some people choose to do screen captures and bypass video altogether. They capture the screen and then write up steps that need to take place refer to the images that were captured. This is perfectly fine as well.
One Golden Rule that you Must Not Violate
Wealthy Affiliate has strict rules against self promotion. So if you are uploading a sales video or something that is trying to convince people to buy your products and services, they will likely get removed. And if you do that too often your account can get banned. They take this policy very seriously.
Next Steps...
If you haven't signed up for Wealthy Affiliate yet, I would suggest you do so. But I don't recommend joining as a premium member yet. You'll want to get used to what is included in the membership before you make any commitments. I spell everything out in the following article:
