Do you feel overworked and underpaid as a teacher? Well, it is no secret that a teacher’s salary is not prioritized. 

But don’t worry anymore, because today, Nick shares ways you can create multiple streams of income that will supplement your teaching salary.

Every student needs a teacher who feels that teaching is a vocation, not the one who eventually leaves for something better.

You as a teacher can succeed in entrepreneurship even better than any other people which because of:

·       Your ability to communicate complex topics simply.

·       An engaging personality.

You have the advantage of having summer off and concentrating on your side hustle while the rest of the year you concentrate on your job.

Here are some of the side hustles you can engage yourself in:

Ride and sharing. You can make extra money driving if you don’t want people coming into your car where you make decent money delivering to people using companies like Postmates.

Tutoring. Nick has spoken to many educators who tutor during their free time to make extra income. They use an online community called Wyzant that matches students with tutors and you can earn somewhere between $30-$60 an hour. Another one is TutorMe. Keep in mind that there’s a high demand for English-speaking teachers from the US to teach Asian students online. 

Create a course. This is where you go to Udemy or Teachable and create a course on a topic you know well and sell it for years to come. Breakdown a complex topic you’re passionate about by creating videos or PDFs and make money off it for years to come.

Selling your teaching resources. You might have a unique way of creating and organizing your teaching resources that other teachers find valuable. Teachers Pay Teachers is a platform you can go to upload your resources, get it viewed, and if teachers like it, they’ll purchase it. Nick shares statics that shows that this strategy can be profitable.

Become a freelance proofreader. You may not realize it, but since you’re already grading papers, you qualify to be a proofreader. You can start at a platform like Upwork where you can earn up to $30 an hour in the beginning and continue rising as you go. 

Write and sell eBooks. You can write and self-publish your own eBook and sell on topics you’re passionate about and earn an income by doing so for the rest of the year. 

The side hustle money will help you support your dream of teaching assuming it is your passion, if not then maybe you should rethink your career.
