Created an Online Course That's Now Providing Passive Income

Last year, I dedicated several weeks to developing an online class focused on tea brewing techniques. Despite not doing any promotional work or advertising, I was pleasantly surprised to see an increase in earnings from the course this year. My experience suggests that if you have a particular skill or passion, consider producing an educational course—there’s no cost to create one, and it can generate a steady income stream over time. Give it a try and see the unexpected rewards!

i think online courses r awesome, emma_brave. try mixin your passion with simple tech skills, and you might get surprised by the passive cash flow. its def worth a shot even if its not flawless at first!

Having worked on an online course about digital design, I believe the secret lies in detailed planning even if you start with limited resources. From my experience, taking the time to build quality content—even if rough initially—pays off as you gradually establish credibility. Despite minimal advertising, consistent positive word-of-mouth combined with targeted snippets on social media led to more registrations than I expected. It’s important to be patient, learn from feedback, and remember that every niche has potential for incremental but steady income.

Hey everyone, I just had to chime in here because Emma_Brave’s story really got me thinking. I’ve been playing around with an online course on basic photography techniques. I started it as a little side project, not really expecting the extra buzz, but it’s grown more than I ever thought it would. What really surprised me was how just tweaking a few sections based on early viewer comments completely changed the game. It makes me wonder if it’s the small, ongoing adjustments that really make the difference over time. Has anyone else seen that kind of organic evolution in their courses? I’m super curious about the creative ways people have used feedback to refine their content without having to splurge on advertising. Would love to swap experiences or tips on this – sometimes even just a tiny change can spark a whole new wave of engagement! :blush:
