If you are a teacher and you want to make money online, for any reason, you absolutely can. Normally, I am skeptical of get rich quick schemes, and for a long time I was of the mindset that there was no way to make money blogging–that ship had sailed. I’ve recently learned that I was dead wrong. Not only can teachers make money online, but there are now more ways than ever to make almost any amount, from lunch money to creating a second income.

An article from Forbes Magazine lists 12 ways to make money online, but I’ve narrowed this down to the ways that are most relevant for teachers, and I will be writing in-depth articles on these in the weeks to come, along with my experiences.

Here are some ways teachers can make money online:

• Blogging: This method can still earn money through advertising, affiliate marketing, and sponsored posts
• Creating and selling products on Teachers Pay Teachers
• Creating a newsletter or podcast
• Writing and selling ebooks
• Consulting
• Webinars or Courses: These can be managed using sites like Udemy or Teachable

The Forbes article goes into much more depth about each of these methods (except Teachers Pay Teachers), but as I said, I will be exploring each method in greater detail on this site, with how-to-get-started guides and helpful links, along with reflections on my own experiences.
