If we are flexible and somewhat broad, we can even consider that a good part of YouTube has a didactic or educational element.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#039;s go to some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Learn how to light your new boiler? That, friends, is a micro course.<\/li><li>Learn how to properly brush your cat with that new brush from Amazon? Buddy, you are being educated online.<\/li><li>Those makeup tutorials? Yuya is being your teacher.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why online education is said to be the fastest growing informal category within YouTube. Because we all have something to teach, from someone who makes small 25-minute documentaries about dark facts in the history of video games, to who interviews a communication and journalism expert on a video podcast. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you see the trend? That mystisism and barrier in terms of <strong>impart knowledge<\/strong> and the next step, if you already have the concern, is <strong>offer a summer course or some type of structured training<\/strong> for your audience. For that a <strong>Learning Management System<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kearnit.com\/\">like Kearnit,<\/a> the Mexican cloud system that allows you to create your own online courses in a similar way to Udemy or Platzi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-wordpress wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-webirix\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"R0PxDQQlrB\"><a href=\"https:\/\/webirix.com\/en\/crea-tu-propia-plataforma-tipo-domestika-y-lanza-tu-negocio-de-cursos-en-linea-con-kearnit\/\">Create your own Dom\u00e9stika-type platform and launch your online course business with Kearnit<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"\u00abCreate your own Dom\u00e9stika-type platform and launch your online course business with Kearnit\u00bb - Webirix\" src=\"https:\/\/webirix.com\/crea-tu-propia-plataforma-tipo-domestika-y-lanza-tu-negocio-de-cursos-en-linea-con-kearnit\/embed\/#?secret=R0PxDQQlrB\" data-secret=\"R0PxDQQlrB\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If neither with specialized software (which by the way, <strong>has a free version<\/strong>) you cheer up, we share you <strong>5 reasons to teach online<\/strong> courtesy of a much broader post <a href=\"https:\/\/medium.com\/change-your-mind\/5-good-reasons-to-teach-online-even-if-you-think-you-have-nothing-to-teach-5c3896e630c6\">from the excellent illustrator Ra\u00fal Gil:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Learn to teach<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gil puts a case that has happened to all of us. Perhaps we have an interest that today is not necessarily our area of expertise, but we have always had it <em>the worm<\/em>, so learn <strong>and document it<\/strong> then sharing that knowledge can be the perfect motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even, and this we already reasoned around here, it may be <strong>an investment of time that you can later monetize<\/strong>. An even cool reason to achieve this would be to pass knowledge only available in another language or through unconventional channels to a wider audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Giving a virtual course allows you to control your time and calendar<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Developing your course, from curiosity or the desire to share an area in which you consider yourself competent, does not have to be a stressful or pressing situation. We are talking about a question <strong>Pleasure<\/strong>, so you can take your time to prepare your classes (Gil talks about intense routines in a short time or, consistency in lower doses) and also think well about your methodology and rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as there are students who prefer an hour a day for four weeks, others think more in days of 5 hours each week. Analyze what suits you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching the class online and producing your material for asynchronous consumption gives you that flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. You can learn more about yourself, your profession, your art, your <em>craft<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you a great pastry chef? You have something to teach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you write creatively and are you celebrated by your colleagues? Something you can share<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are you an expert in accounting? You can think of an innovative angle for your classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once overcome, Gil says, the <em>I have nothing to teach<\/em> you can discover and develop your passions. Teaching journalism -and I will project myself- is not necessarily teaching writing but you can talk about financing, creative thinking, design for non-designers, time organization, mind maps, and -literally- a thousand knowledge niches that only you can to offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Teaching is getting to know yourself again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Of course, get some extra money<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it should not be 5. the main motivation, making a profit for your experience and time is very attractive when offering classes online in a dedicated system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Being optimistic, a course -for example- that you develop on illustration is as useful today, as in two years, so if you continue to grow your audience on a blog or social networks, the course that you already have in your catalog can continue to generate money. . <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adem\u00e1s de todo el autodescubrimiento, y lo m\u00e1gico de documentarlo, puedes sacar algunos d\u00f3lares o pesos \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Connect, network, make yourself known further<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Gil gives an incredible example: Knowing a younger audience, which is naturally an almost obvious audience for an online course by someone with some experience, who may not have known about you through conventional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can bring you more recognition, better social media numbers, and open doors to a new type of customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plus even new friends or trusted colleagues!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kearnit.com\/\">Known <strong>Kearnint<\/strong><\/a>, a Mexican LMS or Learning Management System and a free version to take your online courses to another level.
